This is got me stumped. I have even switched hard drives. The last time I tried to install and the PB did it again. This time I can't even mount the hard drive. It is being resurrected as I type this by Norton Volume Recover. DiskWarrier couldn't even see it. It mounted with SystemWorks.
In any case, this has got me really worried. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I am beginning to strongly suspect a hardware here. It is obviously a screen problem. Cable maybe. I just replaced a broken hinge on the left side. I am thinking something is amiss with the display. Anyone tell what to check? Need help...this is sooo not good.
