[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1872049, member: 396914"] Just happened again. I was in the middle of posting here, screen went black, fans stopped, MagSafe light orange. No response to key press, so I tapped the power key. Nothing. Held the power key down a bit (not 10 seconds, about 2-3) and the fans started up. Desktop appeared with warnings about drives being disconnected without being unmounted. Second monitor popped up, with all the windows there just as before. Safari popped up, with the screen still on the post I was creating, let me finish the sentence I was in the middle of typing and then post to the forum. So it stopped, but I stayed logged in here. Battery was at 93%, not charging, as before. Reset SMC, rebooted and now it seems to be working again. This is by far the most bizarre thing I have ever seen with any kind of computer. How does it maintain the network connection, the DHCP IP number from my router, the login to Mail, Outlook and Mac-Forums while totally dead? Why does the battery suddenly show 93% and not charging every time? I know gremlins get in, but this is just straight out of the Twilight Zone. [/QUOTE]
