Q: About that 6970M replacement program...
Question for anyone who got the 6970M card replaced in their mid 2011 imac:
- Did they format your hard drive? Or if they replaced it, did they also send you back the old one?
I'm asking this because since yesterday, my iMac refuses to boot past about 33% of the progress bar (yosemite) followed by a white/light gray screen or a plain black screen if I try to boot on my bootcamp partition. Same thing with the installation CD, safe mode, zapping everything (like the pram), etc. The only thing that works is the single user mode. The hard drive is still fully functionnal and shouldn't require any replacement (I know there's also a replacement program for some HD but I shouldn't be affected by it since it concerns 1GB drives and mine is a 2GB). But since Apple says that some of their servicing require replacing or formatting the hard drive, I just want to know if I can send it directly or if I absolutely need to find a way to backup it if I want to keep my data.
