HI Mike, You mentioned you have a backup of your data?
If you do, try starting your MBA and holding down the command and r keys when the chime sounds. Hold them for a few seconds. (at least 5 ish) Once you do that, you can then enable VoiceOver by pressing function-command-F5. This may take a few seconds to work. I sometimes seemingly need to do this a few times. ;) You'll see a table which should show you four options. One of these options should be Reinstall OS 10. >From here you can reinstall a clean copy of OSX. Once you do that, you can then restore from your Time Machine backup. Hope this helps! Smiles, Cara :) On Oct 21, 2013, at 10:57 AM, Mike <[email protected]> wrote: Hi everyone, This morning I started the latest software update on my Macbook Air and maybe about half way through my two year old ran through the office, hooked the power cord on her foot, and yanked it out of the laptop. Now there is no power, no sounds, no signs of life at all. Fortunately I have a few backups so I'm not dying or anything but is there any tricks that I can do on my own before taking it to a genius? Thanks for any tips! Happy almost Halloween! Mike M -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
