Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) Randomly Getting Stuck in Sleep Mode when Unplugged

Hey guys, this is my first time posting so please excuse me if I do anything wrong. Here's the issue:
I have a Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) that has had an issue with the whole computer shutting down at random, but only when unplugged from the MagSafe power adapter. Upon scouring all the forums and discussions I could, I haven't found anyone with the same exact circumstances as myself, hence this post. Let me explain.
Many say it's a battery issue. That can't be, because this has been happening for months, and after I finally got my laptop repaired a few days ago, it still occurs. I had sent it in for a logic board failure, but consented them to fix any other parts that weren't functioning properly. Upon the return of my machine, I found that they installed a fresh hard drive, new battery, new logic board, and a new speaker on the right side. This must mean that neither the logic board nor the battery are the issue.
What else can this point to? Again, it only occurs when the Mac is unplugged from a power source, and it doesn't totally shut down. It goes half way, essentially stuck in sleep mode. The white indicator light on the front freezes, and the power button has to be held to fully turn the laptop off, then pressed again to reboot. It can last anywhere from a single minute to a few hours before shutting off again, and it's always the exact same circumstance, no matter what kind of computing I'm doing at the time.
Note that while no one else has found the solution to lie within resetting the PRAM or SMC (in the discussions I read), I still need to try that tonight and see if it affects anything.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Macs are having problems with SSD drives. The root cause is the OS X journaling file system. The Apple-written SATA controller driver can saturate the bus at times, inhibiting performance. Some manufactures are even selling special "Mac" versions of their SSD drives that are slowed down on purpose to compensate for this problem. Unfortunately, the problem still exists in Snow Leopard, from what I've read.
Also, I read that Apple has secretly slowed the recent new laptops down (3.0GB/s to 1.5GB/s) to compensate for the problem.

MacBook Pro stuck in sleep mode: can't restart or shut down, black screen

I'm running the latest version of Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro Unibody. After installing the latest Software Update, including a Firmware update for my SuperDrive, the following problem has occurred, for the very first time:
I closed the lid of my laptop for the night, as I do routinely every night, thus putting my MBP to sleep. I leave the various apps open, usually Firefox, iTunes and Entourage. The next morning my MBP felt hot and the screen remained black... it would not change. After repeatedly trying and failing to clear the black screen and bring my apps up, I held the power button down to do a complete Shut Down. My system turned off, but did not do an actual Shut Down. When I press the power button to turn it on, it comes right back into sleep mode with the screen remaining black. I cannot seem to force either a Shut Down or a Restart. I unplugged all peripherals and the power cord, let my MBP cool down completely--for a couple of hours-- and tried everything again. Still no change: I'm stuck in sleep mode with a black screen. I've also tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, but neither works, probably because I'm not coming from a Shut Down. Is anybody else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions? I think the problem must be somehow related to the latest update, but whatever it is, I'd like to resolve it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't get into my system to see my update version, but I'm certain I'm running the most up-to-date version of Snow Leopard and all other latest updates applicable to my mid-2009 MBP, as I run Software Update routinely. I thoroughly completed all update installations, including the SuperDrive Firmware update, followed all instructions meticulously, including rebooting, and actually used my system for at least one full day without any problems. I'd even recently repaired all permissions. Everything was "humming" along very well. This problem came totally out of the blue. Because the screen is black, I can't actually see what's on it; however, I've put my MBP to sleep every night by closing the lid and it awakens in the morning when I raise the lid. This time the sleep light indicator is on, but nothing happens when I lift the lid, touch the track pad or a key. If I hold the power button down briefly, the sleep light goes out, but when I press the power button again, the light comes right back on. If I depress the power button for several seconds, to initiate a shutdown or restart, it simply shuts off the fan and refuses to completely shut down. This is evidenced by the fact that depressing the power button to start up brings the sleep light on very quickly. I can tell by the way the system sounds that it is on behind the blackened screen. Sorry I can't get you the update versions.
Thanks

HP photosmart 6510 stuck in sleep mode

My 6510 once it has been idle anytime from a few hours to several days, the printer will not print anything in the que. I get the message "Printer not Responding". I assume that it is stuck in sleep mode. The only fix is to unplug the power cord and plug it back in. This doesn not solve the problem as I have to do it every time if I haven't printed in a while. I have disabled auto-off but that doesn't seem to work. Any fixes?

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and make your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
   This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
   first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here.
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
   printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
   Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
8. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.

My Mac wont start, seems to be stuck in sleep mode

Hello there,
So just recently my computer died while in sleep mode. I put it on the charger and let it be. However, now when I turn on the power it seems like it is stuck in sleep mode, there is no connecting chime (when powered up) the keyboard fails to work as a means of getting the notebook to start up. The fan and or disk is running really slow at first but then gets louder. I am not skilled with my Mac, was wondering if there is an easy fix or I should get on my way to the repair store.
PS - I have tried the command+option+escape to kill all the apps running but that seems to not work? anything else i should try?
Please help.

Hold down the Power button for 10 or 15 seconds until the computer shuts down. Then restart it if possible. If it won't restart then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Macmini 2011 on lion, goes to a blue screen om monitor when awakening from sleep mode, last 3 or 4 seconds, can anyone help? Thanks

Macmini 2011 on lion, goes to a blue screen on monitor when awakening from sleep mode, last 3 or 4 seconds, before desktop appears, can anyone help? Thanks

Depending on the system configuration, this may not
be unusual. The Mini that I use for my home theater,
which is connected to a receiver then to a TV, all via
HDMI usually takes a couple seconds to come up just
the way yours does. Same happens when I switch sources
on the receiver. Actually, it starts with the blue screen and
will sometimes flash before the desktop comes up.
It seems that when HDMI goes dormant, there is handshaking
that needs to be re-established, at least thats my SWAG on it.
On the other hand, the Mac Mini Server that I use as a work
station and is connected to a Thunderbolt Display, wakes to desktop
in a second, maybe two. On this combo, it just comes up to
the desk top.
It also probably depends on what processes were active when
the Mini was put to sleep. So it may take some time for it to get around
to reloading the desktop.

IMAC gets stuck in sleep mode

Hi all!
Could somebody please advice me what is going on with my iMAC Intel Core i3. I have just installed new update for 10.6.8. iMAC gets stuck after sleep mode. Power on/off is only the way to get him alive.
I tried to 'google' this issue. Non of topics I found helped ;(
Please!!

You can try some basic troubleshooting:
First restart in Safe Mode this will clear some caches.
If that doesn't help then use Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) to Repair Disk Permissions
If that doesn't help then download and install the 10.6.8 Update Combo. Of course make sure you have a good backup before installing the Update Combo!

Monitor stuck in sleep mode after video software update

Using Boot Camp I had opened Windows 7 to find a large number of files to update via the Automatic Updater. One was an Nvidia update. It was installed last and required its own reboot. Upon reboot the monitor would not display and issued the message the screen was going into sleep mode. I tried to reboot. I got the screen indicating the shutdown was not completed properly and asked if I wanted to go into Safe Mode or Normal Startup. I tried to choose Safe Mode but neither my mouse of keyboard were functional (is there another way to choose Safe Mode?).
I have recently upgraded to OS Lion via software + I am in Windows XP SP3 under Boot Camp. I'm kind of stuck trying to imagine how to approach solving this issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jim

I have resolved this issue myself. I connected a wired mouse in place of my wireless unit. I then forced a reboot which landed me at the screen allowing me to start in Safe Mode. Within Safe Mode I was able to retrieve a Restore Point that was automatically set by Windows just before the Nvidia update was downloaded. The system automatically rebooted and everything was back to where it had been.
The system is fine, now.

Macbook Pro Stuck in Sleep Mode

My macbook pro went to sleep and wouldn't wake up. This has happened a few times before and was usually cured by just holding down the power button to turn it off then turning it back on. This time that's not working though.
When I try to turn it back on only the little power light comes on and the disc in the drive spins up, but that's all the further it gets. There is no chime and nothing is displayed on the screen.
Anyone know what the problem might be and anyway to fix it? Tried clearing the pram, but that did nothing.
Hope it isn't major as I'm a month out of warranty ... plus the nearest store is over an hour away.

Well, after more searching around the internet, I found that sleep mode and bad ram make the front light do the same thing. So after my restart it was stuck in some kind of sleep mode coma, the ram must have died when I forced it to power down. Once I took out my corsair ram and threw the original stick that came with it back in, it fired up.
Hope this helps someone else.

HP 2509P Monitor is locked into sleep mode. I need help. Your support forum doesn't address it.

My monitior is going into constant / perpetual sleep mode after about 2 seconds of turning it on. I need help. Your owners manual, support forum, etc. does not speak to this.

Hi,
Have you tested the monitor with any other PC or any other monitor with the PC to confirm whether the issue is with the monitor or the graphics chip of the PC. Please try with a different video cable also.
Please post your observations.

2nd Monitor Not Detected After Sleep Mode

This setup was working perfectly fine on Windows 8 Pro before the upgrade. I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro and now when the laptop goes into sleep mode my secondary monitor will not turn on after I wake the system up.
The only way to get it to work again is to reboot or unplug and replug the monitor back in.
Windows reports all drivers are up to date.
Lenovo x220t
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Mike

Hi,
This issue can be caused by driver or your power plan.
Please update the display card driver from Manufacturer website.
If the issue still persists, please change Graphic settings as Maximum performance in power options to check the results.
If we still fail to get this fixed, please find the event log of hardware and upload here for further research.
Keep post.

MacBook Pro Stuck In Sleep Mode - Won't Boot

LAPTOP
2008 17" aluminum Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard
SCENARIO
I was using my laptop, closed the lid and took it to the office. Removed it from the laptop bag and it would not come out of sleep mode using mouse / keys. I hit the power button once (this has happened before and hitting the power button once has woken it from sleep mode). This did not help. I held down the power button for a hard reboot. The laptop shut off. Now I can't get it to turn back on.
ISSUE
When I hit the power button to turn it on:
The SIL blinks twice slowly like it's in Computer Sleep state and then the laptop turns off.
When I hold the power button to turn it on:
The SIL blinks slowly once like it's in sleep mode, then stays solid and dim for 4 seconds, then blinks very fast for 2 seconds, then goes dark for a second, then blinks slowly once more like it's in sleep mode, then the laptop turns off.
In both instances, I can hear the dvd drive begin to spin immediately after hitting the power button. Also, when I put my ear to the laptop, I can hear the hard drive start up before the laptop shuts off.
TROUBLESHOOTING
I've tried the following. All resulted in no change.
- Reset PRAM / NVRAM
- Reset SMC
- Checked RAM was installed correctly, wasn't jiggled loose for some reason
- Boot laptop with power cable, no battery
- Boot laptop with battery, no power cable
- Boot laptop with power cable and battery
- The above 3 boot scenarios with PRAM / NVRAM reset and SMC reset

I just purchased my second fresh battery for this machine and cannot afford an entirely new laptop right now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Did you figured something out ? Mine, of similar age, started behaving the same yesterday. Since I replaced most of the original devices, I suspect the onboard clock battery being depleted by now... ? I'm not even sure there such a battery in there.
