Try resetting the NVRAM, +opt+o+f and type "reset-nvram" No quotes and then type exit and reboot. Also try resetting PRAM and SMC if it has it.

My 12" PB is on the fritz again. The optical drive died a while back and I was able to use FWTDM to reinstall, etc, etc. I just got the flashing ? again now, but I can't reinstall…

You must be thinking about the original Wallstreets because the rev 2 models did fit the whole screen in 640x480 and 800x600 modes on the LCD (you were stuck with 1024x768 on the o…

Ditto } What is this "surplus" of which you speak?

Yeah, I remember back in 1999 I went to an Apple Roadshow event they had here, where they used to demo the new stuff that had recently come out (in this case, it was the slot load …

The second generation Wallstreets were the ones that could drop video down to 640x480 and 800x600 if needed (a bit blocky at 640x480). Click to expand... It did not expand the …
