I’ve reset the PMU/CMU and PRAM, still have apple logo and spinning wheel. I got a restore disk, but it was the wrong rev. I think the machine told me what the correct rev was. But I can’t get back to that point. How do you Boot the OS from the CD drive?
First remove the back and examine the capacitors for leakage and/or swelling. Note the diagnostic lights in the upper middle of the logic board and the reset and power buttons to the left of those (cuda) switches. Plug it in and using something like the tip of a pencil eraser press the buttons and see what the diagnostic lights do and let us know. Thanks
