Hi, In the Energy Saver I only have 'Put the Hard Disk(s) to sleep when possible. Both the Computer sleep and Display sleep I have set to never, and the Display sleep box is not checked, of course. Nothing until now has been checked in the Schedule and options menus. I just checked 'Allow power button to sleep computer'. But, besides all this Mac OS X refs, Mac OS 9 on another partition has this issue also when booted.
I don't know if this Logitech mouse is the issue, that is since I didn't install the software and it's not officially Mac OS 9 recommended, also I have the Kensington Keyboard in a box model #64350 - It has a power button like the older iMacs. I'd use my Kensington trackball, which doesn't really need software for 9 or X, but my kids lost the silly ball :P My wife uses the other Kensington trackball mouse. I'll do the switcheroo of peripherals soon and report back with the results. I pretty much know the ropes of trouble shooting and tracking down Mac oddities. - I've had our eMac with the bad caps issue that had the logic board and power inverter replaced twice (one part each time) and now it's been working mostly flawlessly. The only issue with the eMac usb 2.0 is that I installed the eMac tiger install for the 2005 eMac and it won't work with fast user switching anymore - Still a great deal at only 70 bucks about a year ago now from fastmac, thus my wife is the main user of it and I am still Admin of it and I use it for more up-to-date things when needed and updating Mozilla apps when needed, etc. Anyway, back to the topic. I also have been trying to set up the AGP ATi prefs in the ATi prefs pane. I'm pretty sure everything is totally set up kosher for my needs and I don't use a TV, so I don't have any of those prefs enabled. Like I said tho, almost all fans that I know of have the 4 pin molex connection option. The fan I have is the Kaze-JYUNI Slip stream 120 mm, Model # SY1225SL 12SH, 3 pin connector with 4 pin connector included (which I used) 12V, 0.53A. I got it from newegg. The original fan is a Sensflow Model # WFC1212B, 12V, 0.44A. So, I don't think 0.09A is a big System drain since you can hook up a zillion other things like USB powered drives and PCI slot fans, etc. This is a lot of info. I hope it makes enough sense. BTW, thank you for your help so far!!! :) Mike On Oct 25, 8:15 pm, Stewie de Young <stewies...@hotmail.com> wrote: > DOH - what am I talking about- Command - option P-R - in too much of a hurry ! > The only sleep problems for any of my Macs was the USB2.0 card as I already > stated and the only time I replaced a main fan was in my Sawtooth and that > was from another so it went straight in. > If you still have the original fan you could cut the connector off and > transplant it onto the new one. > That would probably stop the fan problem but I am unsure of the display not > waking from sleep. > Do you have some display option turned off in the preferences for either > display or energy saver ? > > Stewie > > > > > Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:26:59 -0700 > > Subject: Re: Sleep issue on G4 DA > > From: michaelgm717...@gmail.com > > To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com > > > On Oct 25, 6:35 pm, Stewie de Young <stewies...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > > Just out of curiosity, why have you connected the upgraded fan to a molex > > > HD power connection and not the two pin like the original ? > > > The fan itself won't cause the sleep problem but how you have it > > > connected just maybe. > > > I'm unsure what the voltage is for this - 5V as opposed to 7V ? > > > > Stewie > > > > From: stewies...@hotmail.com > > > To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com > > > Subject: RE: Sleep issue on G4 DA > > > Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:21:25 +1100 > > > > Sometimes third party hardware can cause sleep issues ( USB2.0 PCI cards > > > being the main culprit with this problem ) so it may be your PL CPU > > > upgrade - maybe not. > > > I don't think a start button circuit board or fan upgrade would cause > > > this although stranger things have been known to happen > > > I'd try a PRAM reset first - press the restart button while holding down > > > the P, R, A and M keys on the keyboard and wait until it chimes three > > > times before letting these go and letting the DA continue on its start up > > > procedure. > > > > Stewie > > Hi Stewie, > > I had to connect the fan that way because there was no two pin > > connector like the apple original.
