[QUOTE="jptl, post: 577817, member: 14443"] [I]I'll try to explain this the best I can:[/I] 466 SE Clamshell running OSX 10.4 Battery is somewhat tired. When I put it to sleep [U]on battery power[/U], it behaves normally with the screen up or down (display sleeps as well as hard drive & cd/dvd) in up & down mode. When I put it to sleep [U]under AC power[/U], it behaves normally with the screen up... [I]However[/I], when I put the screen down, it does the opposite of sleeping. The screen comes on, and the CD/DVD drive becomes active. Not a full spin as it does with a disk, but it's as though it's either trying to read a disk that isn't there, or it's trying to eject over and over, but the tray never ejects. A buzz, then a 'chunk' (eject sound), then a buzz, then a 'chunk', etc. Obviously this is a condition that's not good. Screen on when closed and a constant drive read or eject command. I've reset the PMU with no success, but haven't tried anything else. Any ideas? Thanks, J.P. [/QUOTE]
