Lightning hit my house, and picked one circuit to destroy, the one with all of the tech stuff. Trying to see what is alive...
1. My main imac (4 years old) starts, little light comes on, I here the fan and/or hard drive going, but nothing beyond that. Any advice? Dead or alive, worth repairing? Logic board b ad, any ideas, similar experience. Made a back up time machine onto an external hardrive month ago, so have have most files saved.
2. I have a brother laser printer. I have a macpro, now using as main mac. trying to get the mac pro to see the printers available, none listed. installed drivers from brother, no help. usb connect is good, but macpro still wont see it. printer seems fine, running, etc. any advice on how to get macpro to see printer. running 10.6.8.
3. Macpro (1,1) seems fine, but every now and then when it starts, the screen doesn't advance, and the fan blows really lowd, never heard that before, shutting it down, and restart makes everything ok again, cause to be concerned, did lightning damage macpro too?
any help is appreciated. Thanks.
