I thought about the drive and AVG dwelling on it. But I thought that since DU was able to repair disc and permissions that would be discounted.
It's possible he didn't wait long enough. I'm use to the MBA and the iMac is on a spinner. I have no idea how long that takes anymore. But I would think after the install no more than 3 mins. He said he used to see activity after 30 secs, not fully up, but see activity.
I did read about the bluetooth initialization time, he did try it after the chime. I'm thinking that maybe it lost it's paring in addition to whatever else.
He's in the wilds of eastern PA, I'm on Long Island. At that point he's better off with a genius appt, for better.
Trying to think of something that I forgot to try. Course, it's hard not actually seeing whats happening.
I wonder would booting into Target mode, should he be able to; would that prove at least that he has a drive or disprove a HW issue? Or wouldn't it prove anything either way?
