NOT POLITICS - Any MAC Experts Here?

Post by Scooter » Wed Dec 20, 2023 2:46 pm

I have an older MacBook Pro A1286 that I got from work. It booted up just fine, but with all the old users stuff. It had Sierra OS on it, I followed instructions on reinstalling the O/S. HOWEVER, now when I turn it on, I get the gray screen with the circle with the line through it. I did the OPT-CMD-R to install from the web. It did something for about 5 minutes, rebooted to nothing again. I do a CMD-R to get into disk manager, and nothing but a gray screen.

Anyone?

► A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through it, means that your startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's not a version or build of macOS that your Mac can use. Press and hold the power button on your Mac for up to 10 seconds, until your Mac turns off.Aug 17, 2023

Take your Colt 1911 and blow a big hole right through the center of the keyboard.

Go to Best Buy and purchase a brand new laptop.

Works every time.
