I finally got the computer to boot up. It meant reinstalling the system software. Fortunately, I didn't have to reformat the entire drive, so I don't appear to have lost any music or photo files (although the need or an external hard drive and DVD backups is apparent).
I have to reinstall a bunch of software, including iTunes, which is a hassle. I moved the iTunes stuff from my desktop to the laptop once, then my iTunes library got corrupted once, so I had to re-import all the music files into iTunes. Now, I guess I get to do that again.
But, at least it doesn't mean having to re-import all my CDs and the loss of all the music I purchased from iTunes.
So, I'll have lots of setup to do again on the computer, but for the moment I have saved the cost of a repair bill.
Yippee.
I think.
