Rinadiansdafuq is is that ? <| sep |> Tried the PRAM and SMC and still got nothing . Ended up wiping out the SSD in Disk Utility thinking I could just boot it off a USB like I ' ve done a thousand times before I have an external hdd in the optical drive spot in a caddy , all important files save to there and it wouldn ' t go , jut sat at the Apple white screen and a loading bar that goes nowhere . So I was able to network install Lion onto it damn I ' ve missed that OS and now when I try to run Sierra off a USB , it simple won ' t work . It ' s basically stuck on Lion now . Thinking I may just have to go to an Apple Store unfortunately <| sep |> The troubadour is back ! <| sep |> I think most fdas have had this thought at least once .
