[QUOTE="Michale32086, post: 1591466, member: 143602"] First, let me say that I am a PC person who suffers from MACophobia.. But I got a REALLY nice A1225 in that I couldn't resist tinkering with.. Once I got it open, I said to myself, I said, "Self?? This ain't bad.." :D Anyways, everything seemed to work OK on this MAC.... [url]http://sjfm.us/temp/mac2.jpg[/url] except it wouldn't boot into the OS... Would come on, display would look fine, but it wouldn't boot all the way.. I used the COMMAND - V and got this: [url]http://sjfm.us/temp/mac3.jpg[/url] I researched it and figured the HD was bad.. As I said, I suffer from MACophobia, but I tackled it anyways... Wasn't too bad... :D Until I put it back together.. :( Now my display is all frak'ed up... [url]http://sjfm.us/temp/mac1.jpg[/url] I pulled the display off, reseated the connections and I still get that same fritzy display.. How badly did I scrooo the pooch here?? :( Any hints tips suggestions would be most appreciated.. Michale [/QUOTE]
