This morning my MacBook Pro just remained dark when I switch it on. Nothing, nada, nichts was showing up - neither on the internal screen nor on the external Cinema display. When I called up Apple Care they told me that I have to send it in for a repair and that it will take 2 weeks.
I was floored by that. That laptop is my primary working tool and I cannot afford to have it gone for 2 weeks. Well, tomorrow I will try to an Apple store and see if this process can be sped up. Just going through the Apple Discussion on this issues was breath taking. They had to split that thread up into two pieces because some browsers could not handle it.
Cheers - Andy
