My Ti500 has had the exact same problem three times since I have purchased this unit in 2001. Each time it fails,...off it goes to Apple (thank God for AppleCare). Another co-worker has a Ti500 and he sent his in for this problem and got it back within 4 days. We were both surprised as to how quick he got it back.
