[QUOTE="armilla, post: 715959, member: 65524"] [b]sleep problem--possible solution[/b] I had a similar problem lately. At first it happened on and off, but now it is persistent. I have a MacBook Intel Duo. OS 10.4.11 MacBook would not sleep when I close monitor lid, MacBook would not sleep when I select "sleep" from Apple menu :( Things I tried: 1. resetting the PRAM (shutdown, startup, immediately press Keys: opt + comm+ P +R all simultaneously till you hear start up noise 2 times, release keys, proceed as normal). :( 2. resetting the SMC (shutdown, detach power cable, remove battery, press Power button 6-10sec, replace battery, powercable, startup), then resetting the PRAM. :Grimmace: 3. Reprogram hibernate mode following procedure described by in windley's link below: [URL="http://www.windley.com/archives/2007/10/fixing_macbook_pro_sleep_problems.shtml"]http://www.windley.com/archives/2007/10/fixing_macbook_pro_sleep_problems.shtml[/URL] (I reset hibernate mode to 0, won't sleep, reset to hibernate mode =3, won't sleep, tried above after restarting, and verifying hibernate mode setting, still won't sleep!) :Angry-Tongue: 4. Last ditch, try sleep widget: [URL="http://deepsleep.free.fr/"]http://deepsleep.free.fr/[/URL] installed DeepSleep Widget, thinking at least I can put MacBook in hybernation instead of shutting it down each time. This WORKED :) allowing me to put it in hybernation. Even better, when I used below settings: press[I] i[/I] on widget (bottom right corner of MOON) to flip it for settings. set normal sleep to "quick" mode (ie. pmset hibernate = 0) and set widget Sleep to "safe" mode (ie. pmset hibernate = 3). select the MOON, and IT WORKED! :D It slept normally, wakes up normally. Only I have to induce sleep by activating the DeepSleep widget and not by closing lid or selecting "sleep" Hope this lasts! Does anyone understand what is going on? Thanks all of you... [/QUOTE]
