Macbook Pro Slow to boot
I have a Macbook Pro 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM. The problem exists with both OSX 10.5 and 10.6.
Basically the computer is very slow to start typically 6 minutes plus form Apple logo to login screen. However if I insert a firewire cable into the port we have normal instant start usually straight to login.
I've run the diagnostics both supplied and downloaded - no reported problems.
I've repaired permissions.
I've disabled firewire and reinstalled.
I've done a clean install without installing any 3rd party apps for both Leopard and SL.
There are no peripherals attached.
And now I'm really fed up with it. I'm beginning to think the logic board is faulty although if that is the case what is the point of running diagnostics?
Please any one have any ideas what to do next.
Thanks
Macbook Pro 2.33 GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
