My MacBook Pro (Early 2008) died somehow while updating the SMC firmware, and is now having intermittent trouble booting. I've tried all the standard stuff (reset SMC, zap PRAM), and running the update manually via Terminal gives the following error: "Error parsing file version '0.000'."
Looking in System Profiler confirms that the SMC Manager is reading as version 0.000.
I've also looked into using a Firmware Restoration CD, but I can't seem to find a version to match this family of machines (MacBookPro4,1).
Is there any way to trick the operating system into seeing a different version of SMC, so the updater will run, or is there any other way to reinstall the SMC firmware from scratch? Thanks!
