Nope, it's just by itself. I want it running, closed, by itself.

I wholeheartedly agree. I would never run an iBook closed.

that is easy enough, the magnet usually falls on the floor when you 
take off the top case on the ibook. :) well it does on my g4 anyway.

Hmmm. The sleep switch was undoubtedly put there to MAKE computer
stop using the processor when the lid is closed. On my Wallsteet
I suspect that the thing would get VERY hot if running with the
lid closed. It gets hot enough with it open.

If you are " ...running programs all the time" the iBook generates
heat that has to go somewhere. Generally, a lot of that heat is
dissipated through the keyboard area. With the lid closed, it has
no where to go.

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.

Re: Turning off Sleep

[victoria . duggan]

it might turn a bit sticky but try a bit of blue tac over the magnetic 
lock to the catch.
 as i think the lock has something to do with the sleep command when 
closed and engaged.

vicki

I would like my iBook to stay on when the screen is down. I don't want
the screen on, just I don't want it to go to sleep, because I'm running
programs all the time. I've already got it so the display will go to
sleep and the computer will not, when the display is up. But I want it
to stay on even when it's all closed up. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Computer sleep and display sleep are different functions, not directly
related.  Assuming that you are running some version of OS X, which
you did not specify, you can go to System Preferences/Hardware/Energy
Saver/Sleep, and simply set "computer sleep" to never.

Good suggestion but if he closes the lid, I don't think that will help. I
don't know of any way to keep the computer running when closing the lid.
Some will continue working if you have connected an external monitor and
keyboard and mouse, but the original poster didn't mention this...

Turning off Sleep

[Jonathan Newman]

I would like my iBook to stay on when the screen is down. I don't want 
the screen on, just I don't want it to go to sleep, because I'm running 
programs all the time. I've already got it so the display will go to 
sleep and the computer will not, when the display is up. But I want it 
to stay on even when it's all closed up. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.
