Looks like a GPU issue or else one or a heat issue. Possibly one or both fans is not functioning or excessive dust buildup inside the heatsink vents and fans. This more than likely applies to you.

Sounds like a failing BT card. Best way to test is to try another card. If its under Applecare take it to an authorized repair center. If its out of warranty, you can do the same but it will cost some money to have it verified.

So, in short what MisterMe is saying is you are looking at a machine with even maxed out RAM, can still only run a newer version of OSX that is still two (close to three) versions old. With what he mentioned it will need (RAM and OS10.4.x retail installer), you still have a couple hundred bucks...

Its a June 2004 so it should be able to run one processor at a time.

The whole problem is that the OP is using 10.3.9 and trying to install probably a current version of Firefox along with current versions of other software. There is no use trying force a square peg into a round hole so to speak.

I'd imagine its something wrong with the actual circuit board of the external HD enclosure itself.

Activity monitor in the utilities folder.

library/internet plug-ins. Then delete the appropriate plug-in.

Do you mean optical disk? If so just remove the 3 gold Phillips screws that secure the optical in the machine, then pull the optical drive out. Then its just a matter of 3-4 more small Phillips screws to take the optical drive apart and remove the disk.

Looks like they just did a drag and drop backup, so migration assistant won't do anything with that. You'll have to drag and drop the contents of the individual folders inside your user folder to the individual folders on the new user account. That means taking everything inside the pictures...

Click on the drive, hit command+i keys to bring up the info window on the drive. Under sharing and permissions select "ignore permissions on selected volume."

There is no known screen issue with the macbooks. It seems like a loose LVDS cable. Pressing on the middle of the botto case is about where that cable connection to the logic board is. You'll have to find someone who knows how to take apart Apple laptops proficiently to check the connections.

So you are complaining because you can't get something for nothing? I'm a certified Apple tech and had a fix, but I'll keep to myself now..You can take the flying leap.

Also 2 drives are going to generate more heat then the Minis little single fan is designed to dissipate. You may have to run the machine with the lid off permanently to provide adequate cooling. Might also want to run a portable fan on it while the lids off. Especially if you are trying to do...

Or just try to start it without the keyboard plugged in..
