GPU Fail

I’m getting screen corruption issues on my Macbook Pro; the one I’m using to run the study upon which I’m basing my thesis; the one I’m using to demo my project at next week’s RIA Showcase.

It’s a 3 year old machine with a battery that still lasts at least 4 hours. Unfortunately, it has the failure-prone nVidia 8600M GT soldered to the logic board.

I haven’t confirmed the GPU is the culprit. I’m currently backing up the drive (thank you Apple for Target Disk mode and Firewire 800).

I can’t take it to the Apple Store any time soon. I’m still anxiously waiting for my mom to be discharged from the hospital.

Aaaaaaaaaaargh >_<

Damn you, Murphy’s Law!
