Mac mini won't boot
My 2011 Mac Mini won't boot despite various attempts to fix. It gets stuck right about here (see picture), then goes to a gray screen, and nothing else happens.
Here is what I've tried:
- Verified keyboard works ok
- Disconnected peripherals
- Recovery mode: can choose a network, it works on it for a while, then gets to the screen above, goes gray
- Diagnostic utility: got here, ran the extensive diagnostic, everything ok
- Startup manager: was able to get here
- Time machine back up: gets to the screen above, goes gray
- USB OS re-install: gets to the screen above, goes gray
- Reset PRAM/NVRAM
- Safe mode: apple logo pops up, but right about when the progress bar appears, it reboots
- Single user mode: can get here, works ok, but I'm not that much of a whiz to know how to use it
Thank you.
