HI All,

I was updating software on my mac (fresh install). It was doing some kind of firmware update and told me to shut down. I shut down, but when i restart, the screen flashes, and the cdrom just makes a repetitive sound (almost like ejecting bu no cd is in there) every second or two. Any Idea what happened or how i can rescue this guy? 🙂

THanks,
Adam

how long have you left it restarting for?

maybe try holding :apple:+Option+P+R on startup for a couple of chimes.

As soon as it starts up the cdrom is just humm humm...humm humm...humm humm...and just keeps doing that. Tried your recommendation and no luck. It was running fine 20 minutes ago 🙁
