mrfatboy Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I don't know how to ultimately fix it but I am at least sure you can save your data. Do you have another drive with an OS on it? If it's windows you can install MacDrive and get you data off the osx drive. Or you can get a cheap hard drive and install OSX again and then access the bad drive. I know it's not perfect and I am sure there are people here that know how to fix your problem (if they answer) but at least I gave you some options to get that data off. Maybe somebody will read my post have have pity on you and tell you the right way to do it and save everything. good luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/164666-nvdarwin-125-on-1055-screwed-no-signal-display/#findComment-1146989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My video card is EVGA gforce 8800gts 320mb K.K First.....try switching monitor cable to the other port on your graphics card..... If no joy, boot in single usr mode mount -uw / cd /System/Library/Extensions/ ls Look for injector kexts such as NVinject, NVdarwin, NVkush, CoreVidia......you should only have one of them if you are not using EFI strings.... mv -f Ge*.kext Ge*.kext.old rm -f NV*.kext NV*.kext.old ls exit Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/164666-nvdarwin-125-on-1055-screwed-no-signal-display/#findComment-1147069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
