Macbook Pro 15" from Feb 2011 just got the blue screen of death. I've tried the basic stuff and I can't get it to turn on correctly (safe mode, resetting PRAM).
I can get my stuff off the disk by putting it in target mode so my stuff isn't the problem. So I could do an erase and install if that would help.
I feel that it might be a hardware failure since I was having a few problems with the screen/external monitor yesterday.
What should I try next? I'm not sure it's worth going to the Apple store since they will charge an arm and leg since it is out of warranty and I would rather just buy a new computer. For now, I also have a 3 year old 11" air (and an ancient Mac Mini) to use.
