Folder + ?
So I have recently tried to downgrade my iMac 20" early 2009 model. It failed.
It would start up with a white screen and make the chime but not show the apple logo.
I tried all the commands with success.
Option
Command + R
Command + Option + R
Shift
Command + Option P + S
All without success.
I even tried multiple other made ones just to see if I would get lucky. Alas nil success.
So after various thread reads I decided to buy a new SSD 500gb hdd + 2 x 4gb of ram + replace the DVD drive (as it was not working) + bake the motherboard/graphics card.
(I have never done this) To my surprise it loaded once all together. But I get the Folder wiht flashing ?
I have again tried all the commands.
The only one that works is the option button but that will only boot the Mac to a point where I can move the mouse.
I have a dodgy apple keyboard so I have been alternating between a new corsair (which I have noticed doesn't always work). But when I plug the apple keyboard in it does allow me to get to the mouse pointer. But no further.
Any suggestions?
I thought maybe I could get a new apple keyboard but they are $109 and I just bought the corsair one for round the $150.
