[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1648602, member: 24160"] I "assume" you mean you tried booting to an external drive that had your Time Machine backup on it? Can't do that since a TM backup is not bootable. What do you mean it "is working fine? You can boot to the original drive and the screen works and everything runs as it is supposed to? Where in all of that stuff did you install OS X or any operating system onto the new drive or attempt booting up from a USB key, DVD drive or something that has a bootable installer of OS X? You can't just restore the last TM backup to a new drive. You have to format and install OS X onto the drive and then restore the backup. [/QUOTE]
