After that it got to the progress bar and the estimated time remaining, but appeared to get stuck (time remaining was 24 hours and not moving, same for the progress bar). Entering Internet Recovery Mode produced the -6003F and -6003D errors once each. If I'm holding down D now while booting, the machine enters Internet Recovery Mode, same when I hold down Cmd+ Option+ R. I was able to enter Apple Hardware Test once by pressing D during boot, but it appeared to be stuck after a while, so I didn't let it finish. Booting to the recovery partition results in a white screen.īooting in verbose mode ( Cmd+ V while booting) rushed through a wall of text seemingly normal before getting stuck on white screen again when-I would assume-the login screen would have shown normally.

Booting to Windows results in a black screen right before the login screen would normally appear.

There, I can choose between my normal boot drive (256 GB SSD with the OS), my Windows 8 partition and the recovery partition. Resetting NVRAM ( Cmd+ Option+ P+ R) and SMC (disconnecting power for 30 seconds) didn't help.īooting while pressing Option gets me to the partition selection. The progress bar for recovery and safe mode looks the same as the normal progress bar-not sure if that's normal for Sierra but it seems strange, as if it's not really booting into safe mode or recovery mode.

Sometimes the progress bar will run all the way (followed by a white screen), sometimes the white screen interrupts before the progress bar is finished.
