[QUOTE="FatalityBoyZahy, post: 1295613, member: 214808"] Hey guys, I tried installing Ubuntu on my MacBook, and now, it takes me 5 tries to boot into OS X. On the first boot up, the LED Indicator will flash rapidly, and then I'll hear a long beep. After that, I need to turn the computer on & off about 4 more times until I'm finally able to access the Grey Apple Screen, and boot into Snow Leopard. I've tried reformatting my drive, and installing Snow Leopard and Lion. I even tried other hard drives. I tried remove my RAM & HDD, and then booting up, an zapping the NVRAM, but I still have the issue. Somebody please help! :( I don't want to pay $500+ to get my LogicBoard replaced, because I'm out of warranty. :/ Once the Macbook boots up, it works fine though. [/QUOTE]
