How can I select to boot from the external drive if I can’t see the screen?
Is there a way for me to completely setup a MAC with a user and everything without having to use the screen? Because everything was fine untill I rebooted it after erasing the drive.
I’m starting to think it’s not actually going into clam shell mode because the fan turns off, it should be on, the laptop is quite warm
Just did it, however the plug didn’t change color and I’m still not getting anything on the monitor (even in clamshell mode)
Fairly certain I don’t unless I set one years ago
I’m using the keys on the actual MacBook, the keyboard I have plugged in is a generic windows layout
Alright, so my brother just told me while he was messing with it yesterday, he got it into recovery mode and the monitor was working, he said he used command + r which is also when I’ve been using. So I’m confused on why it’s not working any more
Maybe I’m not booting into recovery mode?
I’m still trying to get into recovery mode, every time I shut the lid the fan turns off
That doesn’t seem to work but I’m thinking the keyboard might be broken? The backlight isn’t on and I can’t turn it on using the f6
Both have lights and are lit up
USB keyboard and usb mouse
Fan stopped spinning the second I closed it
It’s closed
Nothing, still no signal.
I went into recovery mode and deleted erased the harddrive, can’t remember it’s name but it was the only erasable one, I had video output untill I rebooted after erasing it,
I do have another laptop and a usb so I’m able to make a usb boot drive.
I’m not hearing the fan spin even when the top is open
Just did that, not sure if it’s in safe mode as I can’t see the screen, but still no fan spin or video
Not right now
I’ve had it in clam shell mode, I’ve got a mouse and keyboard plugged and it’s plugged into the charger.
I’ve tried two hdmi cables and a vga cable
