On the Bios issue, a lot of ebay people are clueless about Macs and say Bios instead of EFI Firmware. I do agree though, you really can't boot into the Firmware just turning it on. You would get a screen with a blinking Apple. Do you have possession of this laptop? What happens when you power it on? More info please especially if it's a Mac and if so what model is it? |
