I have a 2006 intel mac mini that boots to a "no bootable device - insert disk..." but before you shun me for posting a possible software issue in a hardware thread please read on.
possible interconnect board failure?
What I have done...
replaced internal hdd with new and formatted it to GUID partition with my ppc g5
tried using keyboard to boot from snow leopard disk, but no keyboard commands are even getting a response from the machine. That includes pram resets, booting from disk holding c, verbose mode command, etc...
tried booting from external usb flash drive (snow leopard) while holding down option got no response from machine, just the dos prompt "no bootable device..."
since I am getting no response from any keyboard or mouse command, I am wondering if my problem is hardware related. please advise
