I think I just made a very big mistake! And I wonder it there is any way to get my MacBook back to life?
I connected an old MacBook (the white one) I just got from a relative, to a Linux notebook by firewire, it worked all fine. But wanting to write an .iso on an USB key, I unfortunately clicked without checking the destination, and it took the MacBook! Overwrote it in about 30s, said «*success*»!
Now whenever I try to turn on the MacBook comes a white screen with no logo.
I read all the posts I could find about it, tried to start it with R, S, X, C with a boot dvd, T with a firewire cable... nothing more than white screen!
I’m running out of inspiration...
Is there anything else I can try before to throw it away?
I can put a dvd in, hear it spin inside, and take it off by starting with the eject command.
I also marked that if I press the start button when just started, it turns off instantly, otherwise I need to press long to force it to turn off.
