Apple Hardware Test

Hi,

A simple re-start may help here. I have had similar issues and once noted that it would take around 125 years to erase a hard drive using disk utilities. Each time, a re-start has cured the problem.

Regards.

Either that or you have a computer from 2000 years in the future - If this proves to be the case...

Can I be your "world tour" manager?

Call Apple or take your computer to an Apple Store. The staff will be able to check it out for you.

I read about the AHT but did not know about it. After looking it up I found a Apple support paper which said that this tool should be on the 2nd HD that came with the computer ( in my case a MBP 4,1).
Following the instructions on that paper I inserted the disk and restarted the mbp and pressing/holding the D button.
But no startup from the AHT. My mbp booted as usual.
Looking in finder I could not see a folder/file on the 2nd disk which said AHT. Only Xcode tools.
Anybody can tell me where I can find this AHT?
Can it be downloaded from an Apple site?
And Merry Xmas to all.

Soory, but I made a mistake. I thought I had OSX 10.5.5 for starters, but I had osx 10.5.2 so I used the wrong cd, cd 2 in stead of cd 1.
Using cd 1 everything turned out to be ok according to the test.

Excellent!

What appears to be a P.I.C.N.I.C - Problem in chair, not in computer 🙂

Regards.

Ian.

Take "CMCSK" advice.

It's a bug in AHT. Ignore it.
