Hello,
I'm trying to do an NVRAM reset on my macbook early 2011. I'm powering the macbook on, immediately holding option + command + P + R, the macbook restarts but then keeps restarting over and over again until i let go of the keys, at which point it will just start up as normal. Would really appreciate if someone's would help. I am trying to do the NVRAM reset so i can sell my old macbook.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I understand that the macbook is supposed to restart during this process. But mine is continually restarting (it did it 10 times in a row) until i finally release the keys and it just starts up as normal, no NVRAM reset...
I do not know how else to say it— that is how it works... That is the reset.
Once you let go of the keys it restarts, yes— your NVRAM was reset.
"... so i can sell my old macbook. "
What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac
