February 23, 2007, Newsletter Issue #127: Shortened Startup Chord

Tip of the Week

As your Mac passes the system diagnostic tests on startup, it sounds a musical chord to let you know all is well. But what does it mean if that startup chord is very short??
It means you have an AppleVision 1710AV display. With this particular display, the power doesn´t always reach the speakers of the monitor before the computer finishes its diagnostics. You may hear the full tone, a partial tone, or none at all. This does NOT indicate a problem.
The only way to always hear the complete tone upon startup while using the 1710AV is to remove the sound out cable from your computer.
