[QUOTE="sinsun, post: 833308, member: 70524"] I have hardly ever felt more able to identify myself (or my mac's state...) to a problem description than this! Right to the last detail. I have for the last 6 months or so experienced the same problems: my PowerBook G4 from 2005 would suddenly go to sleep for no particular reason. After reading the postings here, I tried first to remove left sensor, but that made my computer go to sleep whenever i restarted it and in all other situations i could not see anything on the screen - it turned black but still running. When removing RIGHT sensor, it all worked perfectly well again: covering LEFT sensor does not make it go to sleep anymore. I don't have automatic dimming anymore, but I'll try to get myself a new RIGHT sensor and see if that solves that issue. THANKS for helping out to solve the problem! [/QUOTE]
