Hi, You are correct Jonathan. What you're actually doing on the newer Macs is resetting the nvRAM. An extra note as well, there's actually a Terminal command whereby you can reset the nvRAM.

You always see folks suggesting to do this, but I rarely have seen anybody declare recently that this actually solved an issue. I believe newer MACS don't call the firmware used to boot the system PRAM anymore. Glad it worked for you.
