The mouse and keyboard are useless. Any help will be greatly appreciated.   Dave Moderator Username: Dave Post Number: 4866 Registered: 4-1998 Posted on Monday, January 3, 2005 - 11:20 am:        Step one: try zapping the P-RAM Simultaneously press the Command, Option, P, and R keys at startup. (Keep your hands on the keys until the third reboot has started.) The machine will reboot the first time and chime. The machine will reboot the second time and chime. The machine will start to reboot the third time and chime. Let go of the keys and allow it to finish booting.   Debby Citizen Username: Debby Post Number: 1488 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, January 3, 2005 - 2:13 pm:        thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou What the heck happened?   Strawberry Supporter Username: Strawberry Post Number: 4214 Registered: 10-2001 Posted on Monday, January 3, 2005 - 8:56 pm:        you can thank Dave by becoming an MOL supporter.
