I cannot start the AHT. Apple hardware test for the life of me, been trying for days.
I have the latest Boot ROM for Internet recovery, as such, I did read the Apple doc for this and have memorized it.
I have an early 2011 MBP, I came with Lion and I upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I do not have install disk, it did not come with any.
I need a major guru, I think I have bad memory or a app app.
thanks
I have gone over that doc with surgical precision- a no go.
I think this is my problem:

Ciao.
YES, I know that, no internet verson at all, just boots to the password start up screen everytime..
so frustrated.
Well I just check my firmware password, and It is not enabled, so thats not it
Did you download the Firmware update?
Ciao.
It says I have the latest firmware, tried to run it again and it wont reinstall
If you have a good Internet connection,did you try an OPTION - D start?
Ciao.
How about a big hug, you got it.
It started great with the OPRTION - D keys. WOW, why wont Apple change the support docs for the early 2011 macnines.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
JUST USING THE D KEY ALONE, IS WHAT ALL THE DOCS SAY. THAT IS WHAT I WAS DOING ALL THE TIME
Pleased that you achieved success. D key alone will work for most cases.
Ciao.
