Dear Listers:
So a friend was upgrading his graphite to OS X and neglected to
update the firmware. Needless to say, the screen is dead, so I
connected an external monitor. It booted once, but the hard drive
only had 9.0 on it. I installed the 9.1 update and restarted. Now I
can't get it to boot off either the internal drive or the
CD/DVD-ROM. All I get is a startup chime and the white screen on the
external display.
I'm sure this issue has been discussed ad nauseum, but can someone
point me to an in-depth procedure for resurrecting this machine?
Keep trying. That is what worked for me. There may have been a
specific step I took but I don't know what it was. I was just about
to give up but tried it again and was able to boot. I then did the
firmware update. After that it booted from an OS X.3 okay and I
wiped the HD and installed. It's been working fine ever since.
