Lou Wilson asks about a "maybe dead?" Sawtooth:
Powering it up, I saw it go from the greyish scren with the dark grey
apple, to the blue screen with the OS-X logo and the thermometer bar.
After that it stays a blank blue screen. You can move the mouse
pointer around on it but nothing else is there.
Is there something I can do to rescue this without having to reinstall
OS X on it?
----------
The first thing I'd try is a PRAM zap with the four finger salute: during startup hold down command-option-P-R until you get at least four startup chimes.
If that doesn't work and you have access to an OS X install disk, startup from it, open Disk Utility and run Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.
