troisd Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Errr... VGA dongle perhaps? U need to short pins 1-6 and 2-12 on the vga port of your laptop. A paper clip or staple will do the job. Other than that, you require an external LCD to boot OSX. It's an OSX bug.

Rammjet Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 then my screen would be crappy no? Probably stuck at 1024x768 and might have some artifacts on the screen will my intel pro wireless card work here?or atleast lan card? What model is the wireless - I doubt that it will work. The LAN card might though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23753-hang-on-osx-startup/#findComment-157681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
