My setup: 17in SD iMac G5, 1GB RAM & 12in iBook, 1.5GB RAM (Both computers standard config.)
A weird thing happened last night. I got done using my iBook so i shut the lid and left it to sleep. I woke up half way through the night the fan was on and going full blast like i was watching a movie or playing a game. And worst of all the front light that pulses when the lid is closed and the book is asleep was off. I opened the lid and nothing happened. the screen did not come up and the fans continued to go. I ended up holding the powerbutton down for 5 seconds and forcing it to shut down. It is back on now but that was a little weird. And also, my volume does some funny things. It is like my speakers are bad. When the book first starts up they crackle a little. ONce everything is on it is fine.

So, anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks

were you using battery or AC power? Did you have a
(brown/blackout) Maybe it was resetting itself? Just a thought

i had the battery in and the AC pluged in. It was a black screen I am positive about that. I have it back up and running now.

Show i do the hardware test to see if that brings up anything??

I think i might try to do that just to see what happens

Thanks

ran the hardware test and everything came back fine. Thank god.

I will just keep an eye on stuff for now and if it keeps doing it i guess i will have to call Apple tech support.

Thanks for the input
