The iBook sleep is controlled by a magnet and a reed switch in the screen. You could remove the magnet or disconnect the wires from the reed switch. The wires from the logic board to the reed switch are the closest two of the six which go into the grey connector next to the keyboard socket on the logic board. HOWEVER, it is my understanding that you shouldn't run an iBook like this due to the risk of overheating and damage. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
