Apple-advised PRAM reset messed up my MB Pro?
Okay, guys - thought I'm gonna post it, as it's quite an interesting issue.
I had some problems with my Wi-Fi Internet connection, basically the connection has been intermittent, even though the AirPort indicator has displayed full network coverage all the time. I have called Apple Support and asked them for help, went through Troubleshooting that has PRAM resetting as one of the parts of it.
Oddly enough, after doing this, my Internet connection started being solid, but I have noticed occasional screen flickering - i.e. screen going black for a split second (literally) and then coming back again. Not sure, if anyone else has experienced it, as I couldn't have googled anything up on it, but what has puzzled me is that I had absolutely no problems of that nature whatsoever up to the point of PRAM resetting, and the day I have done it I started experiencing this odd behavior of my Mac.
And, no - I have not been installing any updates, nor have I been installing any apps in the meantime. It's Mac OS X 10.5.7, MB Pro early 2009. Most likely PRAM reset messed things up, luckily I have requested a replacement so it shouldn't matter that much, just wanted to touch that issue and warn everyone before they do some PRAM-fiddling with their own equipment.
In any case, if someone has got anything to say on that (or any tips on what to do) - it would be greatly appreciated, as it's gonna take some time until the replacement arrives and the flickering is a bit frustrating (to say the least), as you probably can imagine.
Best,
D.
