Hello Dan, thank you. Can you please tell me where can I see that.? Because I cannot go to the computer. It can not boot correctly. I have the box. The model is A1347. Is it this one? Or can I see it from the safe mode? Please help me on this. I am not very familiar with apple.

Locate your systems S/N from the system and plug it in to here EveryMac - Lookup
If you can get into Safe Mode then look at the About This Mac and then click on the System Report button click on the Graphics/Display section you should see one or two Video Cards listed.

I have the box. On the box i see that the s/n begins with CO
Macmini is 2.5, BEL/IEA. Can these information be needed to see the graphic card model. I will also try to single user mode (control s) to give you more details. I also did a hardware test that said no hardware issues found. Is that a good sign or not. Idk. But still vertical lines appearing and no recovery mode able. I appreciate your help.

Command s and i see just bunch of lines (like dos in windows) and then i have to write syntax language. My question is if i cannot solve the problem with syntex, which syntax command should i write to have at least the recovery mode back? Is that possible? Because i have no access to recovery or whatever but this. Thanks in advance
