    [SOLVED]A1466 emc 2559 - dong loop after failed external drive boot

I'm not someone that wants to play the ram game :( on a personal level, how would you recommend I talk to my client about it.. She brought...

    Ok. All apart, on my bench, one speaker hooked up. After going over the whole board, looks perfect. A few to look like they got some heat around the R5127 area.
