I have a 2006 Macbook 1,1. Core Duo 2ghz, 2x1gb ram, 100gb hdd, etc. I don't know if this is a hardware issue or software issue. While a particular program may cause the symptom, it could ultimately be a hardware fault. I have the exact same setup on a 2006 MBP.
This was a recent purchase through Craigslist. It seems to work perfect aside from the following two things:
1. Sleep problem: It wakes from normal sleep just fine, including closing the lid. However, if left idle for an extended amount of time after entering hibernation if I attempt to wake it the front light will stop pulsing and fully illuminate but the screen remains black. I have to do a hard shut down.
I put a bandaid on it by changing pmset to 0, quick sleep mode. I would love to fully resolve this issue.
2. Restart problem: If I either manually chose to restart or something asks to do it, it will shutdown and then seem to restart but the screen will remain black and there will not be a chime. I have to do a hard shut down.
I have reset SMC and PRAM to no avail. I swapped out ram and in different configurations, even installed a new hard drive. I reloaded Snow Leopard and upon the fresh install, it slept and restarted just fine. I installed Office 2k8, then tried to install iLife but had to update to do that. I installed the 10.6.8 combo update through software update, then did software update once more as was required to overcome an expired installer issue with iLife. I then installed iLife. I did not test for restart or hibernation between these steps as I probably should have so I don't know where it went wrong. I was hoping someone might have some insight on this issue so if I do another fresh install I can avoid making the same mistake again, or perhaps there is a known issue and fix for this situation.
I tried searching Google but "restart" resulted in page affter page about the "you need to restart" error message and searching for sleep and hibernation issues seem to all be about failing 2008 MBPs.
I appreciate any help in this matter.
Thanks
