This has also worked to force it to boot slow writing a new kext file to return the fans and logic board state to normal. Removing ram and changing the ram amount or configuration will force it to re-examine the parameters of the board and environment. I’ve also used the system boot USB drive, to boot from and run diagnostics on the board. It’s a trial and error thing, but that has worked for me in the past. Getting it to boot all the way through is paramount in rewriting the exit code properly. It’s really a bad instruction set at boot that needs to be re-written (kext) from my experience. You can also start up in safe mode by holding the shift key down all the way through the boot procedure. ![]() The Apple logo can only appear when it is fetched in the first 'blob' of software loaded. The solid Apple is not in the Macs ROM at Cold start. In your case it may be muted or disabled. If it occurs and/or startup continues, your Mac is working. The fans should spin up, but then return to the normal state. A: The initial 'chime' sound is generated in software when your Mac passes the Power-On Self Test. Wait a few minutes, then restart normally. Then do a normal shut down, allowing it to spin and write it’s exit code. The fans will be on high, but let it boot all the way through to the home screen, if it makes it. It should start up after you push the power button after letting go. Hold down the power button for about 30 seconds, the apply power by the power supply while holding down, Continue to hold down for another 30 seconds. You can buy that software on his site, but without the physical bypass, it's only a temporary fix, until you clear the PRAM or NVRAM.Īs far as the top question, I’ve had luck with turning off the unit, taking the battery out. So, if I do get one in, I let him do it for me for a modest price. I stay clear of that year, but MadMod is only 30 minutes away from me. It was an Apple recall to replace the Radeon gpu, but even after replacing it, they still eventually failed. ![]() Either way, you're faced with making the system believe that there is no other graphics processor but the onboard intel gpu. Or, software and a jumper cable to bypass and keep the sleep function working. I've done several and both involve, either soldering wires to pads to jtag code onto the logic board. Or, you could bypass it using RealMacMod's method. The only "permanent" fix is to jtag the unit using dosdude1's method. You can even have the GPU reballed and it will work for a while, but overheat again and return. Some software fixes work for a while, but it always comes back. I liked the earlier chimes more than the recent ones.You'll need a hardware bypass on the grey screen to permanently disable the GPU. So there must be something wrong with Dongle 1. When I connect the power cord to Dongle 2's USB-C port, it charges the MacBook Pro and I only hear the power chime once when it reaches 100. (He has speculated that perhaps this was due to Jobs’s return, but that was late 1996.) It stayed more or less the same until the iMac G3 (1998), save for the Twentieth Anniversary Mac. At the same time as the power chime sounds, a 100 power indicator pops up on the display. It was short-lived, because the Power Macintosh 9500 (1995) returned to Reekes’s chime. ![]() The Power Macintosh 6100 (first PowerPC, 1994) used 12-string acoustic guitar harmonics designed by jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan. This chime was used through the mid-90s starting in the Quadras, through the Performas. The textural properties included stereo reverb, phaser, some sharp transients, and strings. He snuck a “fat” C major chord backed with sonic textures into the ROM. He sought to use the improved sound cards for a cheerful “palate cleanser” sound, as the tritone wasn’t music to one’s ears during post-crash reboots. This annoyed Jim Reekes, who took over Sound Manager in 1990. The sound grew punchier, and by the Mac Classic/Mac II era, it was similar to a “tritone” sound (a music theory no-no). ) Charlie Kellner wrote an algorithm to average adjacent 8-bit square waves for the tone used on the (original) Mac 128K. (Funny that similar “triple beep” sequences mark issues on boot. The Apple II made short beep in its boot sequence, a courtesy signal that sound was working. Interesting history of the Mac startup chime on Quora:
