Q: Failing video card
My husband and I flew United Airlines last week with my Macbook Pro. When we landed at our destination for the week, I pulled my computer out and booted it up. The video was very herky-jerky for about 5 minutes but finally settled down and I was able to use it. We then flew back and I have the same situation; however, it seems to be continuing instead of stopping. I've booted it twice and I am unable to use it. Can the airport scanners cause damage to the video card/chip? Can it be repaired? What to do now? Also, I haven't time machined my computer in quite some time (my bad, I know). Any thoughts on this? The screen is flickering enough, I can't even try to find the mouse to try to run a backup so I doubt anything else "diagnostic" could be done either. Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
