Sorry to hear. Open her up and pull the drive; USB enclosures/adapters are cheap.

Is it just dead or could you e.g. boot from a diagnostics disk?
Can you access the drive via firewire from another mac in target disk mode? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar… (attaches backup drive to my 6yo powerbook)

Ok. Logic Board completely kaput.
anyone know a good cheap online hardware store, preferably in Europe. I'm going to operate it myself.(Already have the HD removed)

"Also, What happens now with my iTunes / iPhone sync?? can I sync it to another iTunes without erasing the fucker?"
You can charge it on another mac without the erase, or move your library to that mac and sync it as normal. You might be able to manually add tracks if you turn off manage music automatically.Or you can use something like Senuti so get your music off it

put some salt and water on it. It will make it reborn.

Same thing happened to mine last week. You might be covered by this:

Can't you put the HD into a cradle and just treat it like an external disc and copy off what you want?
There might be a jumper on the back of the drive which will let you write-protect the disc, if not copy everything to another drive and work off that. Preserve the original at all costs. And ahem, get yourself a better backup strategy for Christmas.

I don't think there are any jumpers there.
The beauty of Mac though is that you can boot another mac from that now external drive via usb or firewire just as if it were your old machine.
Or you can clone it to another computer's drive.

I already have the HD enclosed. Teh data is safe.

which model mbp was it? i had problems with mine and apple ended up replacing it with a brand new one.
- johndiggity0
doesn't matter. mine was 3 years out of warranty. if it's a certain model, there are some known problems re: the logic board. they will replace on a case by case by case basis so as to avoid doing a full recall.
