ACC0RD22 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Im not sure what is causing my problem exactly. The boot stalls at the blue screen after the grey screen with the Apple logo. Its like what used to happen when i didnt have a VGA dongle attatched to the back of my laptop, but Im using the wire trick and it has stopped working. This has literally happened overnight, since last night I shut the computer off (OS X was working flawlessly then) and when I went to turn my computer back on this morning, I encountered this problem. I tried connecting an external monitor, to see if the wires Im using were the problem, and that didnt work either. I have tried booting up the install DVD, and I encounter the same problem. Im thinking something happened to my VGA port, but I dont have time to open up the computer to diagnose. my specs Dell Inspiron 2200 JaS 10.4.7 Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz Most everything working before this problem occurred (wireless, sound, ethernet, QE/CI etc.) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38695-boot-stalls-after-grey-screen-with-apple-logo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACC0RD22 Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hmm, I figured noone else had had this sort of problem because nothing appeared when I searched. JaS' 10.4.8 install DVD is downloading right now, so Im going to try that. if that doesnt work, I might have to totally lose my OS X partition and try to reinstall fresh. again.
