was there a result screen? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 10:43 AM Subject: Re: Hardware Test Question
Hello, This is what I did. I decided to run the Apple Hardware Test. My son was here to read the screen to me. It was rather simple. 1. With the Install DVD 1 in the drive I started the unit while holding down D. 2. Once the diagnostic tool came up, I asked my Son what it said. He said that I had to choose language and that English was already selected by default. 3. After the next screen came up, it wanted to confirm that I wanted to run the test and the default answer is yes. 4. The test ran. 5. At the end of the test I had some choices: Rerun the test or Restart the computer 6. I restarted the computer and ejected the CD. That's what we found when running the Hardware Test.
