Need help here! Haven't got the replacement iMac ready yet...
My wife's 7220 (4400) developed a problem today after normal use &
shutdown. After some while it turned itself on. Twice she shut it
back down (from the menu) and twice it turned itself back on.
Disbelieving her, I shut it down again and after a couple of minutes
there was the startup chime, the power-button LED came on and up
came the startup screen.
Well, it the Power Manager that makes a Mac 'spontaneously' boot (per
the Energy Saver cdev settings). Either the data in the PRAM (where
the boot-at time is stored) has been corrupted accidentally, or the
battery is too week to maintain it. Try zapping the PRAM and/or
replacing the battery.
Well, the blue startup screen had faint dark mottlings, when the
claifornia poppy desktop picture came up the normal orange was
stained pink and red icons were also pink; along the right side of
the screen was a bright yellow-green suffusion, as if the screen had
been magnetized.
Anyone have a clue?
Dude, you're in the Twilight Zone.
You should expect such colors by now. :)
Try degausing?
Or, as I do on my 17", a good whack on each side with the flat'o'me'hand.
Repeat after me:
Spontaneous Startup is much better than Spontaneous Combustion.
Spontaneous Startup is much better than Spontaneous Combustion.
Spontaneous Startup is much better than Spontaneous Combustion.
