[QUOTE="tabbycatmadden, post: 835700, member: 97945"] Hi all. I am new on here and feeling desperate at the moment so please forgive me if I am not doing this the correct way. I have a MacBook Pro 2.20 Ghz. OS = MAC OS X I was asked to install new updates and did so. I came back to the computer and one update had a message saying it could not install it was a MAC OSX??? update. It told me to re-start the computer. I re started it and the the screen will not go past the apple symbol and the turning circle thingo. I tried all of the suggestions in the booklet including the self test with the MAC OS X Install disc 1 and did the short test which came up with the error code:4SNS/1/40000000:TGOD-89.000 . I tried looking all over the net and could only find the error code above with different endings and they were all very bad news. I then did the extended test which took aver an hour and it came up saying 'No trouble found'. I then did the quick test again and this time the error code did not come up, 'No trouble found'. I tried again to power my computer on and the same thing again, it won't go past the screen with the apple and the turning circle on it. I tried to also do a different test to get into the drives? by holding down the 'c' key inseatd of the 'd'key as with the other test. This test would not work. The screen with the apple and the turning circle on it stays for about 1 minute and then the computer screen just goes black and all is quiet again( seems to be turning itsdelf off) . Adrian, is there anything you may know about this problem? I also have another question that may? be related?? I will post it separately, I hope you get this message adrian, regards, Tabatha. :) Please excuse me cutting and pasting this from another website. It's a LOT of typing otherwise.
