    MacBook Air grey screen of death

    Hi all, my niece's 2012 MacBook Air has gone as dead a dodo. When powering on, after 2 seconds the startup-chime sounds, followed immediately by a grey screen, then nothing.

    Mac won't start up...

    I went on a short vacation and so I unplugged all my computers, the modem, and the phone line to the modem. My backup computer is a G4 Mirrored Door Drive. I've never had any issues with it. But this time it won't start up: It gives a 2-second "whirrrrr....." and then nothing. I fear the...
