I once read a report of someone's pink screened Lombard being cured with an nvram reset. While it seemed unlikely, ever since then I've been dying to see if there's anything to the idea. Care to give it a try? ------------------------------------------------ Use the OpenFirmware nvram reset commands: Startup into OpenFirmware by holding down key combo cmd-opt-O-F right after startup. at prompt type "reset-nvram" (without quotes of course, and then enter) it'll say "OK" "reset-all" (and enter) and it'll restart ------------------------------------------------ This will probably have no effect on your screen, but then again . . . ? dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
