Hi everyone
This is, I'm sure both old and annoying, for everybody to read. However, i was given a macbook core duo 2.0 GHZ, by my best mate. the computer has the usual battery x symbol. i reset the SMC, no change. the battery was also replaced by my friend still no joy. i am installing a new pram battery and also replacing the heatsinc and fan too. my questions are.....
1. will installing this new hardware solve the problem???
2. i was trying to upgrade my OS X to snow leopard using my other computer, a macbook pro, OSX DVD it was unsuccessful. i very stupidly followed an instruction to format the HD and try again now i get a blank screen with a flashing folder because now obviously there is no OS installed. please help me i had a suggestion of downloading osx 10.5 from file share or something but i'm not that tech.
