It's hard to start my 2007 Mac Mini

[ha0rex]

A strange thing happend, when I tried to pair my wireless keyboard. The mini ran now normally for days, but when I wanted to pair the keyboard, it froze.

I tried to restart, pair, but it's always freezing.

So now I removed the bluetooth board, and still that it's running fine. I left it for about 30 minutes off, and when I turn it on, it starts for the first try.

Now I left it again turned off.

So maybe a bad bluetooth board caused the problem? Otherwise it works, it found my BT devices.

Still confused

Hmmm… are you saying that you were having the problem with a bluetooth keyboard as your keyboard, but then you substituted a "wired" keyboard (USB) and the problem went away? Your post wasn't clear.

Do you have a WIRED USB keyboard you can use as a substitute?

How do things work if you leave the wired keyboard attached?

I removed the bluetooth board, not just the keyboard! So yes, now I have a wired keyboard attached.

I thought you already tried (removing) everything before, hope for you it's just that board.

Erm, yes you did:

I already tried to reset SMC, PRAM, tried with other RAM modules, other HDD, without SuperDrive, without AirPort, without Bluetooth.

When you say "bluetooth board", what specifically are you referring to?

Do you mean the bluetooth card -inside- the Mini?
