jumbochilli Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi al, I was just playing with the laptop installing SL-not expecting much- and as the installation completed I added "pc efi 10.1 pkg" and hit the "restart". Surprisingly it booted into SL retail-yeah I installed couple of kexts like "fake smc, nullcpupower..." before restarted it. I was so happy to have SL on the laptop-keyboard and sound didn't work, but then what do you expect? As I was in a hurry for some reason I turned off the laptop and on my way out, decide to check if it'd boot up O.K. When I press the power button, all I got was 'Acer logo and nothing more, I coul neither get boot loader nor bios. There wasn't any indication of the hard drive being active. I repeated this more than a dozen times, but all I was getting was the same. Did SL kill the HD, or am I doing anything wrong? Please help me!

jumbochilli Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 I've just checked the HD by taking it out from the latop and hook up with desk top. It seems O.K, then what is going on. I have never had a problem like this, is cpu deadd, or ram .... Please, please help me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbochilli Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Done some googling. Would it be to do with CMOS or it's battery? Ow c'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbochilli Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 The problem solved! I disconnected CMOS battery, ram and the laptop battery, and left the laptop for about 5 minutes. When I hook them back, voila! It's apparently CMOS resetting bug or something. Well, thanks for the HELP anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVSoftware Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hey, i had the same problem when i tried to put my computer to sleep... it went to sleep, but never woke up with the same symptoms, except my laptop is toshiba... I also had to reset CMOS as sleep mode somehow corrupted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
