          You're one to talk about directions
          “Crashing is shit for you, shit for the bike, shit for the mechanics and shit for the set-up,” Checa told me a while back. “It’s a signal that you are heading in the wrong direction. You want to win but crashing is the opposite. It’s like being in France when you want to go to England and when you crash you go to Spain. That way you’ll never get to England!” -- Carlos Checa

              not sure exactly what is wrong, but i bought this laptop from one of murdoch's mates and it was working fine for a few weeks. Then i moved house and didn't touch it for bout 3 weeks, ( in this time it was in is't laptop bag nice and safe), then when i went to use it, nothing worked.

              i mean it turns on and all, but it is like everything has been wiped from it.....

                Yea, I can try.

                Can you drop it off in Perth/Vic Park and I can take a look at it.

                  I think you should sell it and buy a dell, for a real quality notebook.

                    At a very very basic diagnosis, sounds like you are logged on as a different user. Click the apple, choose log out, and see iof you get several options.

                          I know you said it was safe in a bag, but just check that the battery and hard drive haven't been jostled loose. If you've been runnning it off the battery, try hooking it up to power. Is the screen latch damaged so that the laptop thinks its in hibernate mode? (Although the screen should just be black then I think) Has it been near any strong temperature changes or magnetic fields? What happens if you insert the OS X recovery disc and reboot?

                          Next version of OS X is released 6pm tomorrow... you could buy that and see if it helps |-)
