Chosen Solution
my initial problem was that the MBP wasn’t booting. infact it wasn’t doing much but flashing the white LED angrily then going black. I replaced the RAM, let it sit for long times, did magical boot incatations with my fingers, tried different power supplies, etc. I ordered and replaced the MBP. Now at least I get the beginning of a normal boot sequence but still no chime. I can hear the drive being engaged and the CDROM ( which has a boot disk as well ) spinning up, and the white LED remains on. the display is black. a working external display also does not show any image other than an “incompatible video mode” message. I have tried different media but I do not get to the ‘choose drive’ option. ideas?
Maybe you need to replace RAM memory or the Hard Drive, It happens to me more than 2 times with MBP and with Windows Laptops Have a Nice Day
Thank you, perhaps I wasn’t clear. I tried multiple bootable drives and media. I downgraded the ram. I even tried the no-ram boot.
