Apple Releases Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.1

Try to boot it in the usual way (click power button) having all the cables disconnected, except the power cable, sure. In a second try, try to do it with a CD with the firmware restore file, indicated in the post above.

Good Luck.

It's under warranty, and I have a repair shop around the corner, so I took the Mini to let them have at it.

After running this update on my 1.66 everything seemed fine. However like Nailz commented, sleep seems to be borked. If i sleep the machine for a wee while everything is fine. If i sleep it overnight (like i do usually) it won't wake up again and i have to do a hard shutdown...

My G4 mini seems to be running just fine Wink

Sorry guys I couldn't resist. It's not often you get to gloat in G4 technology Smile

So is mine. But since the update isn't for those antiquated machines i'm not suprised. Twisted Evil

Why would Apple put this update out without thouroughly checking for problems such as those mentioned here.

I can only assume this all started after the EFI update. The first thing I noticed is that an application had some issues communicating with my cable box. So I'm temporarily unable to record any more TV shows. The other problem I keep having is that everytime I restart my Mac Mini, the screen would zoom up everytime?? Strange.

My Mini is back from the shop and running again, with the firmware installed. Now I can make a DVD of my kids for their grandparents.
