Mac book pro wont boot
Hey guys! found this site trying to fix my mac hope maybe someone can help me....
I have a mac book pro 17 inch. The video completely went out on my mac and i thought it was a paper weight for a while... but i recently tried to boot up and as soon as i turned on power i threw in my leopard Disk and held Alt ( i boot windows also) and behold it makes my screen /video work. I took it to the mac store cause i thought it was my V card and they said it was fine my screen was broken. obviously its not. but here is my new issue. my mac will no longer boot. I select Mac partition and it loads the apple with the spinning thingie and after about 2 mins shuts off by itself without loading anything.... and usually when i have the mac disk in and hold alt it reads my 2 drives and the disk drive... well its not letting me load the DVD or anything. it spits out the leopard disk when i hold alt so i cant figure out how to fix my mac and get it to boot.
to make this short
Boot holding ALt with leopard disk in Mac:
It waits a while spits out the disk and then lets me choose windows or mac:
I choose Mac it starts to load with the apple and spinning thing:
Shuts its self off after about 2 mins of trying to boot

that's really weird cause i was just going to suggest to reinstall your OS (make sure you backup everything first of course).
if you ever get the leopard cd to work, try repairing the partition.
does your windows partition boot okay?
