Hi. Remove all RAM and insert one pcs RAM, then flash your original dump, then turn on.

First lets us try the easy way in fixing it. After flashing your backup file, try to perform and NVRAM/PRAM Reset, also SMC resets ( in some cases SMC reset did do the trick ). Full details on resets:

Now, if that does not work, and your computer still wont start, Lets continue with advanced way ... I have downloaded your file, and i see it is a bin file, and not our product HDBOX compressed format '.hdb' . We use this format ( the '.hdb' ) , because we save about 40-50% space by using our format , and full computer info is stored at the begging of the file, allowing our users to search by those infos.

I was able to retrive your computer SN, and Model number from your file, and I will try to find a donor file to match it as best as possible, then change that file to match your computer info. After that I will give it to you as .hdb file and you have to use your HDBOX to flash it.

Best regards,

thank you so much i hope you find a donor

Hello,

Toke a while to find the donor file, but we finally did, changed the SN to your SN and upload it. I have PM-ed you the download link.

As usual, after flash, do a verify to confirm write was 100% correct.
After flash, on first boot do the NVRAM / PRAM reset, and computer should be up and running 100%.

Best Regards,

If you already have HDBox,then there should be any problem with the format.If you do not have HDBox yet,then you can purchase one set.

Thanks & Best Regards!
