so my powerbook 12in is dead. its around 1.7 years old now. im.. really sad :(

so i was doing stuff on it, and it was getitng kind of slow, and adium (a mac program like trillian) started crashing every time i turned it on.. so i figured id reboot. i hit shutdown, and nothing happen.. so i hit shutdown again, and again nothing.. so i held down the power button, and it went off. when i tried to turn it back on, the loading screen goes on. the grayish white one, with the gray apple in the middle, and the little spinning circle loading thing. aaand it stays like that.

any ideas?
