kazak21 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi, Is it possible to reset the PRAM for a Hackintosh? Using the same way as a real mac? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSkylla Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 No because you don't have PRAM, nor NVRAM. Why would you want to anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazak21 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I want to coz my external display for my laptop got screwy coz i messed up some refresh rate, after googling abit found that need to reset the PRAM to resolve the issue. I guess it's back to googing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaporATX Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You could try booting into safe mode and change the refresh rate back to where it was. Use the -x switch at the boot prompt. Don't know if that will work, but it's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that will work, but it's worth a try. I have a similar problem. I can boot in safe mode without problems, but there I cannot change the resolution . If display settings aren't stored in NVRAM or PRAM on a hackintosh, where else are these settings stored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsoth Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I have a similar problem. I can boot in safe mode without problems, but there I cannot change the resolution . If display settings aren't stored in NVRAM or PRAM on a hackintosh, where else are these settings stored? http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21106?viewlocale=en_US try the steps below, which deal with the video resolution information that is stored in three places: PRAM (don't bother with this, you don't have it on your hackintosh) /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.xxxx.plist Note: The tilde symbol (~) designates a user's home folder. The text "xxxx" represents an alpha numeric string, such as "00306549719e". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
