[QUOTE="Jrg, post: 708280, member: 64162"] From what my Google searches have led me to believe, there are a good number of people who have had problems with their Macbook's sleep setting, but I've never seen anyone post the same problems I seem to be having. I've had my Macbook for about year, and its one of the earlier models of Macbook. Up until last week, I haven't had any problems with the sleep settings at all. Now, when I close the screen, the disk whirrs for about 2 minutes, I hear the Start-up noise (with the screen shut) and the iconic Apple symbol on the lid turns on, the disk whirrs again, light turns off, and the cycle starts again. It does this for about 15 minutes before I just shut the computer down all together. When I open the screen, it generally gives me a black screen, sometimes with the pinwheel, sometimes without, and to get any response, I have to tap the power button briefly, which takes me back to the original sign in to user option, instead of just entering my user password like it did earlier. I've tried changing the pmset hibernatemode, but haven't found any results the fix my problem, but seem to make it worse, shutting down the computer every time I close the screen. I'm concerned, since my AppleCare is expired and I really don't want to have to pay for any kind of logic board repair, and really can't afford a new machine (though I've been lusting after a 15" MBP). Anybody know anything or should I go see an "Apple Genius" who will most likely just try and sell me a new computer? [/QUOTE]
