Laptop P505D-S8000 went to sleep but won't wake up...

Laptop was put to sleep and now won't wake up. Power, plug & battery lights are on and power switch is lit. No hard drive activity at boot. Fans run than stop. I tried all the known tricks of removing battery & power cord, pushing power button for 60 secs, than powering up with power cord only. This seems to be the fixall for this problem when I searched the web but only seems to work for 1 out of 10 people. I have checked the screen at an angle to make sure the backlight is not out but since I am not getting activity on the hard drive I figured it was OK. I get nothing by trying to boot into setup modes, bios checks or safe mode.
Any last advice other than take it to a toshiba tech? Rick

Unfortunately that fix doesn't always work because these symptoms often represent a hardware failure.
Just to confirm, the power LED (not the AC adapter LED) does light up when you press the power button, right? If so, it does sound like you'll need to get the notebook serviced.

Mac Mini/Mountain Lion sleeps but won't wake up (or crashes) every night.

Hi everybody,
I have a mid-2010 mac mini server on which I recently installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (without server stuff).
Every night, it stops responding. The led is on but the display is off and it does not respond to mouse/keyboard. I even tried remote desktop.
The only solution is the power button...
What I already did :
- Reset Pram/Nvram
- Reset SMC
I also took a look at the console and I found a message that is fired just before the machine stops responding.

Any clue ?

Hi, I'm quite interested by your issue, because i get the exact same one.
On my mini (late 2012), system doesn t wake up from sleep if it has slept for more than 1 hour.
In fact I get the exact same message as you get in your console.
When I try and wake up system before the programmed maintenance wakeup, it wakes up fine.
But as soon as this programmed time has passed, it just won t wake up, I have to force switch it off via the power button and restart it.
I have nothing plugged on my mini except : AC - Thunderbolt display, and LAN connected to my freebox.
Do you still have the issue or is it ok now for you ?
I'll try in the upcoming days to plug the freebox in the thunderbolt display's adapter instead of the macmini's rj45.

My New iPad (16gb 4g) went to sleep,and won't wake up! What should I do?

What should I do? Pls Help!

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Ops I replied to myself in error.....
Tom:
I performed the steps indicated but this morning when I clicked the mouse and hit the space key and clicked the track pad again as before nothing happens.
I hold the power button for a few seconds and the screen fills as if the computer was normally awakened but it is locked up.
Then I have to shut it down with the power button and then power it up as a reboot.
Not good...SMC reset didn't work....Throughout the day yesterday I put the computer to sleep and woke it up normally. It seems to be a overnight problem.
Am I going to have to shut it down everynight?

My Macbook pro, (late 2010) sometimes will sleep and won't wake up. then the sleep light flashes.What's the problem

Hi I've been following this thread (along with a different one on the same topic). I've been having the same problem with my ibook. I can add that I have no problem with startup. It's just that the screen "goes to sleep" unexpectedly and may operate normally for a few minutes or a few hours at most. Opening and closing the lid or restarting seems to cause it to awaken but then usually for just a few seconds or minutes. If it is connected to another video display that display continues functioning fine even though the computer screen is blank. In addition the desktop is there and visible faintly or if totally blank can be backlit through the apple logo and can be read. I've had my logic board replaced twice under the extended warranty and assumed it was that but now I'm thinking of the reed switch. Apple refuses to consider any further work under warranty as the last repair was in Jan, 06 and they claim only a 90 parts warranty and the machine is from 03. Any thoughts before I cut the wires? I have reset the pmu, run cocktail and disk utility. Other than the sleep issue the machine works fine. thanks Ronda or anyone else who has any ideas... Dave

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.Anyone know how to cure this problem please??

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.
I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.
Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
This only happened after reinstalling. Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
Thanks

This isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

Hp DV7 Hibernates but won't wake backup forceing me to shut it off on reboot it goes to reapir

I have a DV7-6175US that had been working fine and then recently the laptop will go into hibernate mode but will not wake up when pressing any keys or anything and it forces me to then do a hard boot and on reboot windows repair comes up and I have to go through that. Now it does not happen every single time it is pruely random event. I have checked for Virus and Malware bugs and I have gone into the BIOS and set the deafults into place.

PB G4 went to sleep but now won't start up or force shut down...

My sister has an old PB G4 that has had many previous problems( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2166443&tstart=0 and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2051813&tstart=0 ) but since this morning it has been asleep but we can't get it to wake up.
The sleep light is on and the screen is black but nothing will wake it up. I also tried force shutting it down and nothing happens.
I am leaving it unplugged overnight to drain the battery to see if it will start up then, but I don't know if that will help. I would try to take out the battery but I am not sure if that is safe, as the computer is not really off...
Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

Sounds very similar to what my 2003 PowerBook does. I my case I believe it is the combination of a bad main battery and a weak/dead internal backup battery.
Sometimes you can perk up a weak internal battery by plugging into the A/C adaptor and removing the main battery. Leave the computer off for 24-48 hours. In that condition, most of the power coming through the adaptor can be focused on the internal backup battery. This helped mine overcome subsequent occurrences like you describe.
For now, I think you'll have to pull the main battery to progress. Yes, unsaved work will be lost but I don't think you have another option.
When you get it running, use System Profiler to look at the "Power" section and see if the A/C adaptor is the right one. A 17" PB should have a 65W power supply; the 15" uses a 45W version. That is part of my problem; when a friend gave me his PB17, he couldn't find the original adaptor and shipped the less powerful 45W version from a 15" PB.

"Sleep" Mode Won't "Wake Up"

I recently upgraded my Mac from 512 MB RAM to a 1-DIMM 1 GB RAM kit. It booted fine; however, when I hit the power button, it went to sleep and never "woke up." I've tried the following procedures to no avail:
Did a hard reboot (held power button down), no joy.
Replaced new RAM with previously installed RAM, and made sure it was in snug, no joy.
Reset PRAM: (no multiple chimes, no joy)
Attempted SMC Reset, no joy.
Any ideas on how I can get my Mac to turn on? I also tried sticking a CD in and it started up but the screen remained black. The lights are as high as they will go but when I hit the CAP button, no green light appears. The fan is on. But, the computer remains black. How do I get this thing to work?

something similar happened when i tried to replace the top case to my G4. It turned on correctly but once it ended booting off and there was just the desktop ready to be used after 1 second it began to sleep. I checked what could have caused this and I saw that the sleep magnet (it activates when it detects the lid has been closed), which is covered by a glass, translucent like shell had broken. I dont know if this helped. The best is to get it checked.

Sleeping baby won't wake up

Last night, 24 hours after plugging her in for the first time, and actually enjoying the set-up procedure, I put my new I-Mac to sleep thinking I was going to start again soon. But this morning, she won't wake up. Tried all the command suggestions in the book, tested the power cord, removed and reinstalled the memory cards. Still nothing.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
have tried using a different powercord?
how about trying a different power supply?
a thought are you using a surge protector or UPS? these can go bad at any time.
Stay Cool,

Won't sleep, yet won't wake.

I have a problem with my MacBook that I think others have had too, but I can't find a post about it. Probably 1 out of 2 times that I close my MacBook to put it to sleep, it won't go to sleep. And no, I'm not waiting for 2 seconds and deciding that it won't sleep...I wait for around 30 seconds. If I open it up, however, it won't wake up, and the computer is completely frozen and I have to force-shutdown.
I am running Leopard, however this happened with Tiger as well, so I don't think its a Leopard-related bug.
Also, it seemed to go away (when I had Tiger) after I deleted the hidden volume that it uses to store content for safe sleep, but I would like to be able to keep safe sleep enabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Zeb

You just described my exact same problem to a tee. But, I want to include an additional nightmare. Not only did I have these problems, it actually would sleep when I opened the lid. Then I'd close again and it would wake.
Then, I upgraded to Leopard last Friday. I crossed my fingers but to no avail - no change.
Then Saturday morning I noticed that the screen saver wouldn't come on. I tried a shut down and that didn't work either. I held the power button for 5 seconds and left Starbucks thinking that it might not come back on.
When I got home, I started my Macbook (it worked thank goodness) and immediately tried a re-set of SMC, PRAM, and Permissions for the umpteenth time since about August.
Guess what? To my surprise, everything started working like I had a brand new MacBook. It sleeps and wakes like it's supposed to, screensaver is good, and it will shutdown when commanded.
Please give it a try and see if you have the same result.
I'll root for you. Good luck.

Hmm... I've had this macbook for a while now (?? a year maybe ??) and about 2 months ago I started having this exact issue, close lid to sleep returning it would not wake and a hard reset (hold power for 5+ seconds) is required.
I too discovered such links as this and also the older (also unanswered):
http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8690782
But as others have said there doesn't appear to be a solution?
RESET THE SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) does appear to work, however the issue returns again after a few days or weeks... I cannot find anything that guarantees to return the issue it just starts happening again after a while.
The battery appears to be in okay condition, although I think it might run down a little faster now days than when I first bought it, but I assume this is to be expected.
I also had suffered from what sounds like an issue with wifi weirdness - signal would drop to 0% suddenly, no longer "see" the wifi hub that it has been using forever (although it still, randomly, sees other nearby hubs) for no apparent reason, and that kind of thing - all these times the only solutions that have worked have been to stuff around with the wifi hub turing off extas, flipping from "Auto" to a specific Number (1 to 13) and turning on (OR OFF!) Mixed B/G to just B OR G... very strange... and random.
The only things I've changed recently are, upgraded to snow leopard (from leopard) and got an external display. But I cannot say if the incidents coincided or not, as I didn't realise the sleep/wake issue was an issue for a while, as the first few times I just thougth "Oh, something weirds happened... Reset..." and didnt' really think too much about it until it happened for the 3rd or 4th time and I could see there was a pattern...
The external monitor via minidisplay port adaptor i got from teh apple store.
I don't use it with the machine closed or external keyboard/mouse, although I've heard you can do this, I use the monitor as a secondary display when I'm at the desk, the rest of the time I just use it as I have always done.
I would love to see a solution to this, I guess I could try warranty, but I dunno if the issue is warranty "level"...?

10.9.2 sleep issue won't wake up.

When 10.9.2 on my iMac 27 mid 2011 goes to sleep naturally overnite it won't wake. I have to do a reboot with the back button. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hello JInterisano

My laptop sleeps and won't wake up unless restarted.

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, my laptop has been behaving strangely. Whenever I "lock" my computer for a bit, it doesn't lock at all as when I come back on, the laptop unlocks and I am straight back to where I was. This is worrying as anyone could just get onto my stuff. Then i leave my laptop plugged in and "locked" overnight. When I come to it in the morning, The on/off button is lit but my screen stays blank and when I press any button nothing happens. I try pressing the on/off button but northing happens. The only way to get my computer to start is by pressing and holding the on/off button to completely switch my laptop off and then restart it. That's when i can sign in mto begin with and then the whole cycle starts again. I would be grateful for some help!

Command (Apple) + Control + Power button should get you a restart.
Instead, it would be my recommendation that you shut it down by holding the Power button down for 5 to 10 seconds.
Next, try resetting the PMU. The PMU (Power Management Unit) has control over the sleep function, so resetting it may help.
Then, every time you have to do a forced shutdown or restart instead of a normal one, there is a chance of hard drive damage and you should repair the hard drive, either by booting into Safe Mode OR by starting up from the Mac OS X Install Disc by inserting the disc and restarting your computer, holding down the C key at the end of the startup chime. Then choose Installer > Open Disk Utility (in Panther) or Utilities > Disk Utility (in Tiger) and select the hard drive in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive.
Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install disc's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on your hard drive.
If you take these steps, maybe you can bid the sleep problems goodbye.
