Macbook and big problem !?

Hello evryone

I have a MacBookPro 2,33ghz and since i've got Update It, all the screen was "solidified" ... but not the mouse.
There is a link in between the update et the big crash?

Thanks

I need some help here !

My girlfriend tried to update the firmware and something got messed. I know she did something wrong: when the sleep light started blinking she didn't left the button, she maintained it held.

Now the screen doesn't even turns on, the DVD slot keeps cracking, making a noise and we can only turn it off holding the power button a few seconds. The same thing happens every time we try to turn it on.

She has Tiger installed and Windows XP via Bootcamp.


Any suggestions guys ? Please, we are in Brazil and it's very expensive to take it to some repair.

My only problem now is that I've got the Repair CD 1 stuck into the drive. I thought we could solve the problem using this disc.

Thanks a lot Bill ! You saved my life !

(I've never thought I would say that!)

After the firmware update on my 2.0 MB, it seems to run a bit warmer when on AC power and about 3-5ºC cooler on batteries. On one particular site, Safari seems to hang when clicking links now though.

Does this fix the USB HD problems people had, where it would not read, or did but freeze the system until you yank out the USB HD.

I don't think this is related. If I'm not mistaken, this is occurring because the USB HD can't draw enough power from the USB port(s) it's attached to to spin up again after being spun-down by Mac OS X.

BTW, the original MacBook is not getting any updates today. The MacBook EFI firmware update is for Core 2 MacBooks.

imac...

just bought a new imac a couple of weeks ago and the firewire ports were not working. they took it back, sent me another and the firewire ports on that one were also not working. called apple and they said it was a known problem and a firmware update would be coming out soon to fix it. this firmware upadate wasn't even for my imac or at least it's not showing up in software update. anyone else have any issues with the firewire ports? can't seem to get a straight answer out of apple as to when this will be fixed. i'm an editor and without the firewire ports it's a pretty useless machine at the moment...

Actually, thost airport issues were addressed quite a while ago.
As you can see here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremeupdate2007004.html

The 2007-004 wireless update seems to have helped a few people and messed things up worse for many (e.g. before the update problems only occurred while using wireless and battery power, after update things worked for a few days for people but then worsened to frequent lost connections even when plugged in to AC).

To my knowledge, this issue has not yet been fixed (unless the firmware update has done it). I've personally found that having e-mail poll my server every minute seems to help keep things awake and connected, but I'm looking forward to seeing 4 bars consistently when near my router, as was the case before 10.4.10.

There is a thread on this topic, 10.4.10 wireless issues, if anyone wishes to read it or contribute:

I charge my Samsung phone using the USB port, and after updating the firmware, I am unable to boot into OS X without first unplugging the device. Otherwise, I will be met with a blank grey screen and the fans will eventually spin up to max rpm. I've waited ten minutes and nothing happens on that screen. I'd have to switch my macbook off (instantaneous), unplug the phone, and then boot into OS X.

I'm not sure what has happened, but I suggest exercising caution.
