[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 151782, member: 3850"] Actually reinstalling OS X isn't that extreme: You can select 'archive and reinstall' which basically only replaces the system files - your documents and settings are left alone. But first I'd try a PRAM reset: ([url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13136[/url] - read my iBook instant fixes thread for more information) Hold down Command+Option+P+R at startup to flush out the parameter RAM - sometimes this can fix bugs in the hardware. If that doesn't work, maybe also consider trying a PMU reset: Shift-Control-Option-Power Hold them both down until you hear a chime or the system boots normally... [/QUOTE]
