Make sure MOBO battery is still in, then place a jumper over the pins next to the battery to clear the cmos, then count to 3, and remove the jumper. If you dont have a jumper then, touch both prongs with screwdriver etc., and remove. Turn the machine on, then turn off again. Resinstall the network card in the far slot (or different slot than before), and then turn the machine back on. You should then see the ESCD update message, then you should be golden. If that doesnt work, then you have a bad card. Check my signature, I have the same machine. You will never (well never say never, but prolly not) get bonjour working on the onboard LAN. Check my guide in my signature as well for BIOS settings. Hope this works.

lensboard Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I am assuming it will get to the BIOS screen. By "turn on" I am assuming that you meant boot into OSX. If it wont even turn on, you may have a more serious problem.

I have both of these (board and NIC) in two computers here.
