Yeah, I broke my own rule to never post without having cross-referencing evidence in hand; apologies for that. I hand't been to that page since before the addition of its iMac Pro section, so assuming the procedure wasn't just changed (unlikely) I'd been conflating "wait 5 seconds and press power" with "press power for 5 seconds" for a long time. Doubly embarrassing since I've been battling a 2009 MacPro w/updated ROM running Sierra that races its fans every week or so. The online recommended fix is an SMC reset, and I've not been doing it by the book. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
