I would not worry too much about PRAM's. I have no Apple evidence of the below message, but I can certainly believe it. Though I suppose that Apple might have updated the key sequence some to clear out other nasty issues I don't expect that to be the case.
Begin Qote from Tidbits.com discussion in 2009 On Subject of Grey screen and no boot of Macintosh computers (And just FYI, the days of resetting PRAM / NVRAM doing anything useful pretty much died with OS9. These days, about the only thing that lives there is display resolution settings, so zapping the PRAM may be useful for troubleshooting video issues, but it is unlikely to help with anything else. Harmless to try, but meaningless if nothing improves, because nothing really uses it anymore.) -- Chris Devers End Quote On 02/12/2010, Marlaina Lieberg <1guide...@gmail.com> wrote: > Les, > > Imagine trying to do all this on an Air!
