Hi guys, Well, the built-in keyboard started working for a bit and then quit again. Now I can't even turn the machine on. I tried charging it and that didn't work. I removed the battery to use it on ac power and still no luck. I've got files in there that I want to delete before sending it in. We have another Macbook in the house and I tried both adapters and got the same result. Is there a way for me to jump start mine with the other one, or to connect the two using a usb cord or something so I could access the hard drive? I want to remove the drive and put it in the other Mac but Mom says that'll void the warranty. At this point, I don't really care. I just want my files out and for this to end. Please, if anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
