After typing reset-all the OS boot properly to OS9. But after I restarted the unit, the open firmware came back with the terminal window. I type "reset-all" again..but now, it doesn't want to boot properly anymore. What are the causes? Defective motherboard? Ram? Also, this iMac of mine is experiencing a predominant red tint. But if I plugged it to an external Monitor, everything seems fine. What could be the problem? I hope it's not a motherboard issue -- Kind regards, Brian Michael Lim Principal / EchoGrafika [T/F] +632 551-7394 ...constantly surprising "Excellence is not an act but a habit. It is a lifestyle."
