IBook G4 goes to sleep randomly

My iBook G4 was running fine until I replaced the optical drive. I went from a combo to a superdrive (UJ825). After installing and reassembling the iBook it boots and then goes to sleep. I can wake it up but it goes back to sleep again after about 1 minute. I am confident in my work as I did the hdd upgrade and had no problems. Any clues? I also tried a reinstall of the OS and ended with the same result.

Hey Keith,
This is the switch that rests on top of the optical drive, correct?
Right, the manual shows it on the front right corner of the drive.
Should it be on the frame?
No I think you have it right. Originally I was looking at a totally taken apart 1.33 12" but I just looked at the manual.
Did you try disconnecting that cable? That would disable the reed switch and test if it was bad. The action can be checked by using a magnet over where the switch lies.

  • Macbook goes to sleep randomely when connected to Apple LED Display

    I have  an issue with my Macbook Pro (2009 model) when it's connected to my 27' Apple LED Display. For no apparent reason that I can tell, it just goes to sleep at random, and after I wake it up by pressing a key (bluetooth keyboard), the mouse cursor looks messed up:
    It might be a bit hard to tell from the blurry photo (I don't know of a way to take a screenshot with the cursor, so I used my iPhone), but it's too halves of the spinning beachball.
    There's nothing in the console's log that indicates the reason for switching to sleep mode. It's also not the magnets of the Macbook pro used to detected when the lid is closed (I'm using the NoSleep utility that prevents that behavior). I've already tried resetting the PRAM. Also, this behavior never happens when the macbook isn't connected to the external display, so that probably aint a heating problem either (also the temperature readings are all in bounds).
    Any help would be very appreciated, as that thing is driving me crazy.

    Jon,
    Along the lines of my comment in your other thread. The battery connection cable between the logic board and the battery is also known as the "sleep/switch" connector. This little cable not only communicates battery power to & from the machine but also has a handle on regulating the machine's sleep process (and wake from sleep).
    I've seen several MacBooks that have come across my work bench which are suffering from this exact issue you're describing and we're remedied by replacing that cable.
    The component I'm referring to is this one-

  • IBook Not Going To Sleep

    I set it to go to sleep after 10mins but the display turns off, and it just stays like that. When I touch the track-pad I have to put my password in, before it was setup the same way but i dont know whats going on, and its killing my battery.
    I just want to figure out how to change this, so my laptop goes to sleep, instead of pretending to sleep...

    Hmm. Either a system-wide problem or a hardware hiccup. Neither of these procedures will harm your data
    Let's try a PMU reset:

  • HT1338 My macbook pro goes to sleep randomly and only wakes up when i tilt it

    I bought my new macbook pro last june in miami and somehow it just goes to sleep on its own in the middle of doing anything.
    Clicking, pressing the start button, the space bar or anything won't wake it up. Tilting it or lifting the computer would. And that's scaring me. It just did it 4 times in a row and i am just browsing the web
    Anyone know if this is a hardware thing or the software is going nuts or my mac is haunted ??
    I have the mac insurance thingy so should i call them or what do i do? Thanks for the help

    Check your current setup (I left my MBP as "3")
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    After you launch Terminal, the first step is to determine which sleep mode your Mac is currently using. You can both view and change the sleep mode using the Unix program pmset. To see your current settings, type (or, copy and paste)
    pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    press 'enter'
    You should see something like this:
    $ pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    hibernatemode 3
    Great, so your machine is using mode 3, whatever that might be. Well, thanks to the documentation for the handy Deep Sleep Dashboard widget, which puts your machine immediately into hibernation mode (so you don’t have to yank all the power sources to invoke it), we can tell exactly which mode is which:
    * 0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
    * 1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
    * 3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
    also, I enabled this:
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    type in sudo pmset lidwake 0 then "enter"
    it will ask for your password. type it in, that's it!
    Now, when your computer is sleeping with the lid closed, when you open the lid nothing happens until you press any key ... nice: keeps it off when accidentally opened, like in a backpack?
    WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
    or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
    typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
    To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.

    Do you run acpid / laptop-mode / ? but most probably is related to pm-suspend.
    Do you have any suspend line on .xinitrc?
    " Suspend on idle/inactivity
    One method relies on xautolock program. Add following: xautolock -time 30 -locker "sudo pm-suspend" & to ~/.xinitrc. This implies that pm-suspend is called after 30 minutes of inactivity. "
    I would check especially what /var/log/pm-suspend.log has to say.
    Check also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pm-utils you may find the solution there.
    Hi! I don't use any of those (acpid, laptop-mode, .xinitrc -don't have one-, or pm-utils). I use KDE and the power options that come with it. I have used the same setup for years and never had any issues. This is the first time it happens and I don't know what triggered it (I haven't updated since two days ago)...

    Hi! Haha, I meant I use the laptop plugged in without the battery (I rarely use the laptop as a laptop!). It never gave me any issues, this is since today.
    By the way, something I noticed is that it doesn't sleep when I'm not using the laptop or if I'm only using the mouse and rarely the keyboard. If I use it, it suspends every three-four seconds or so. This post was a pain to write because of that. Is the keyboard triggering it? Is that even possible?
    Thank you both!

  • My iMac 2.8 goes to sleep randomly when I start typing.

    The computer will wake up as I frantically hit the keys to wake it up, but it happens often enough to get very frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks for the insight. I'm totally dreading a reinstall. I just bought a 1.5 TB hard drive to run Time Machine for a system back up. I'm wondering if this problem will carry over when I load Time Machine on the fresh reinstall and if it will work on a later version (10.6.1)?

  • IBook won't stop going to sleep!

    Try as I might, I can't keep my iBook from going to sleep. The energy saver settings are set to sleep "Never." It's usually plugged into the wall and even when it is it goes to sleep after about 20 minutes. This is frustraiting as it make my away messages on AIM pointless. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I just read up on resetting the PMU and it looks like it might be a slightly risky operation. Having the computer constantly go to sleep on me is annoying but I don't want to damage any of my data or hardware. Is it a safe operation to do and if I do it what kind of follow up operations would be required (like resetting the time, etc.)?

  • Macbook Pro keeps going to sleep / not waking up

    Hello all,
    I'm having trouble with my MacBook Pro going to sleep randomly. I will be working on the computer, and everything will go black. I can still here the computer running. When trying to wake it up from what seems like sleep, no buttons will work. The only thing I can do is do a hard shutdown, holding down power button, and then turning it back on.
    This originally happened about 2 months ago, and only once. Since about 2 days ago, it has been happening about 2 times a day. It occurs when the temperature of the computer is cold as well as when it is warm. I am not running too many programs when it happens. I have reset the PRAM.
    Any ideas / comments would be appreciated and helpful. Here are my system specs:
    15 inch Macbook Pro
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    4 GB 1067 mHz DDR3
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7
    Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help diagnose the problem.

  • My macbook is two and half year old, going to sleep mode randomly

    Having used this Macbook for almost two and half years, my machine has suddenly generated the problem of going to random sleep. It started as an infrequent thing, then it started happening on a regular basis, to the point that it became almost impossible to work with it. When the computer goes to sleep mode, it doesn't wake up with any key, it has to be woken up by pressing the power button lightly.
    Here are the steps I took:
    1. The normal thing I did was search Apple Forum and then reset SMC, PRam, then changed energy saving options, everything. Nothing worked.
    2. Ran the hardware test and no problems found.
    3. Ran the Macbook with all options: with just the battery, without the Magsafe connected, with Battery and Magsafe connected together, with battery removed and the computer running on Magsafe only. Random Sleep continues
    4. Thought must be a connection issue and ran to Apple Store in Kolkata, India, thinking that it could be a connection issue with the sleep-mode cable. Apple Store kept the Macbook for seven days, saying that they needed to check the machine, returned it on the seventh day saying that the machine was fine and charged me Indian Rupee 1,500/- (about $ 34). I came back home and the problem persists.
    (Here I would like to add that Apple Service in Kolkata *****, probably ***** all over India, simply because Apple is not a major player in this country. The service engineer at Apple Store was at a loss with my problem and after seven days could only say, "We have done our internal tests and found no problem with your Macbook." When I asked about the Sleep Mode sensor connection, he said, "That is working fine, we have checked that.")
    5. After coming back home, I faced the same problem, this time with lesser time gap. It would go off to sleep every one minute or so. I decided to set my computer on "never to sleep mode" in the enery saving option. Alas, that didn't help either.
    6. I redid the hardware check, only to find that my computer hasn't detected any hardware problem.
    7. Now, as a previous Windows user, I thought that the problem must have been with the OS. So, at the risk of losing all my files, I decided to reload the OS. (My original OS DVD was Leopard, but it was later upgraded to Snow Leopard by the vendor free of cost). I took backup in Time Machine, and backed up the documents in another Disk and reloaded the OS. All seemed fine so far, for about 10 minutes. I was now confident that finally I could solve the problem and was then planning to migrate my previous files to my newly loaded OS-X. Alas, I was wrong. Before I could connect the external HDD to my computer, my Macbook went back to its previous trick of falling asleep.
    I'll definitely take back my Macbook to Apple Care tomorrow, but with my experience here in Kolkata, don't know whether they would be able to solve anything. Last time I had to show them the posts in Apple Forum to prove that Random Sleep is a problem that happens to Macbook.
    PS: My Macbook is with aluminium body bought in January 2009. Out of warranty. My optical drive conked off long ago (after about 15 months or so after I bought the Macbook) and I live with an external drive.  

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.

  • Macbook Pro keeps randomly going to sleep.

    My OS Lion Macbook Pro keeps randomly going to sleep.
    There doesn't seem to be any pattern. It looks like I may have to get it repaired?

    No I didn't do anything like that, but...
    I've found a pattern/cause!
    It's every time I open the app store. Why on earth would that be?

  • IMac randomly goes to sleep / Previous Sleep Cause: -100

    iMac (24 inch Early 2009, 2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo, Lion 10.7.3) randomly goes sleep.
    No hot corners, never sleep setting.
    It seems it goes to sleep more often when CPU is busy and graphic intensive jobs running (videos, gaming).
    I cleaned up air ways by vaccume, but it did not help.
    Temp monitor showed
      CPU 55C
      power supply 95C
      northbridge 89C
      graphic processer goes up to 86C
    when it went to sleep for no apparent reason. Are those causing issue? If so what can I do?
    /private/var/log/kernel.log says
       "Previous Sleep Cause: -100"
    Any idea what this is?
    Thanks!

    I took the iMac to nearest AppleStore and they opened it and cleaned up inside.
    After that, it has not yet gone to random sleep yet while I've been trying to reproduce heavy CPU/GPU load for ~1h (while I could make it happen in 15min this morning).
    So far highest temp went down to:
      CPU 55C             => 44C
      power supply 95C => 72C
      northbridge 89C     => 82C
      graphic processer 86C => 70C
    Tech at AppleStore bar didn't know what Sleep Cause: -100 is.

  • IBOOK G4  Powers on then goes to sleep after loading, any help?

    I have a 12 inch IBook g4 purchased less than a year ago. On power up, screen loads, Pop-up says date set prior to March 1, 2001, icons and wallpaper load and then book goes to sleep. All in a matter of 3-5 seconds. Help me please

    I too am having problems with my ibook falling to sleep or quitting. It also sometimes loses the backlight of the display. I took it to an apple authorized dealer and they eliminated the possibility of the cause being the cord, the batter, the airport card, or the ram. I also get the message of it having the wrong time set in the clock before March 2000. The time is not set wrong.
    I am also having an issue with the powercord. When pluged in so I can recharge it doesn't always sho that it recharges. I have to rearrange the cord to get it to register that it is charging. This ibook is only 18 months old and giving me unbeleivable problems. My imac is 8 years old and still running...slow but running. what gives? I make my livng on this little ibook so I really need answers and the dealer is not very helpful. Please help I'm desparate!

  • Mac Pro randomly goes into sleep mode

    My (mid 2010) Mac Pro, OS X.6.8, randomly goes into sleep mode and I can't wake it, have to power it off and reboot. Just started to the best of my knowledge Friday (Jan 6, 2012) I've had it happen surfing the web in Safari, while working on an illustration in Adobe Illustrator, while running Apple Hardware Test, using 23" LCD connected by HDMI and DVI-D, Disconnected monitor and connected 12" Cintiq (LCD Tablet).
    The monitor goes black, says "there's no signal coming from your computer", none of the keys will wake it. I have to hold down the power button until it turns off then power it back up. The time between the sleeps varies, 38min, 1hr 34min, 5min, 2hr 17min, 12min, etc. I disconnected everything (except keyboard, mouse, monitor) still the same. Opened and removed the ATI Radeon HD 5870, and noticed the PRAM battery, replaced it with a new one, thought that fixed it, worked for a long time then it happened again.
    Tried Apple Hardware Tester again, it said everything is fine, ran it again an error popped up: 4SNS/1/40000000:Te1S-99.364, wrote it down then it slept.

    The next time this happens open your mac and see if there is still a fan running.  If so you are not sleeping, you are in a thermal cutoff.  Keep you mac cover off.
    Now reboot as you always do.  Take a look at the fan in your 5870.  Is it spinning?  If so, try to keep an eye on it and see if you can "catch" it not spinning. 
    When the fan doesn't start, or if it does then stops, the card will overheat and the machine will go into thermal cutoff.  The amount of time is variable.
    I speak from experience.  I am currently on my third 5870 video card.  Both the previous two had this fan problem.  The only wrinkle in my theory for you is that I wouldn't expect more that, say, 15 minutes of up time at the most, not hours like you got.  But it may be that your card is starting ok, but stops sometime later.   I chalk it up to the lousy fans Nvidia uses in the 5x70 cards.
    FWIW, if you happen to catch the fan stopped before the machine goes into thermal cutoff you can give it a little nudge with your finger to get it going again.
    I recommend one of the various temperature monitors.  I use iStat Menus and display some key temps in my menu bar.  Of course after going through two of these cards I am a bit paranoid!
    Some other temperature monitors:
    iStat Pro
    Temperature Monitor
    Hardware Monitor
    Note, after typing all this I also realized you got a AHT 4SNS error. I would run AHT again to see if you get that error again.  If so that means "Check Main Logic Board" and you may have a more serious hardware problem than just a video card!  So my other recommendation is that when you machine fails again look inside for any lit diagnostic leds.  There's some near the dimms but there are others on the board as well.

  • Imac Randomly goes into sleep mode...Hard to start

    My IMAC G5 will randomly go into sleep mode while I am in the middle of using it. Typically the fan noise increases and than it auto goes into a sleep mode. It also has issues starting. I have to press and hold the power button for it to kick on while also hitting keys on the keyboard to trigger it. Help!?

    Here is the system log it looks like its over heating?

  • My laptop randomly goes into sleep mode

I'm very aware that it goes to sleep while you've been away from your computer, but it'll go into sleep mode while I'm using the computer. I changed the power setting so that it takes longer to get into sleep mode thinking that would help, but it doesn't. I ignored it at first but it happens more often now and its getting annoying. Sometimes I'll move the mouse pad to wake it back up and it sounds like its going to come back, bit it just goes to sleep again. Its really annoying and frustrating and I don't know what's wrong with it. Anyone have any idea what's wrong with it and how to fix it? My warranty expired this passed March and I can't afford to get it fixed.

    "I put a new anti virus on my computer and the sleep mode problem didn't happen after I removed hazardous files on my computer."
    Go to any good anti Virus removal forum, SpyBot S&D, Bleeping Computer, others, and start a thread.
    They probably will want you to run a DDS log, ERUNT, follow there instructions!
    The forum Volunteers that assist you on these sites are busy and it may take up to 3 days for them to start your thread, have patience, they will help.
    You may have inadvertently removed/modified part of your operating system (keylogger/screencapture) when removing the malware.
    Do not just rely on a recovery point!
    Hope you have recovery disks made, and/or a mirror image.
