I realized I said right when I meant to say left about the second my internet box powered down. The only mitigation I can offer is that the Mac sits on shelf with the screen to the wall, hence the left hand side becomes the right hand side. I get a bit self-conscious posting which makes me a bit a nervous and prone to mistakes resulting in a rather disjointed text. Sorry again.

When the Mac failed the screen brightness was turned way down. It was when I began to turn the brightness back up to viewing levels that I realised that something was wrong as the screen appeared to be dead. There was no picture it was completely dark.

To be honest I haven’t dared to power the box up until I had got some sens of what may be wrong. But as you have been so kind as to take an interest I will get the Mac down off the shelf now and see what happens.

If you don't hear from me again I have either been electrocuted or burned to death............
