macbook wakeup
Hi All Not sure if this is a universal problem but my macbook pro (purchased Jan 08 now with OSX 10.5.2) sometimes just doesnt wake up after being asleep for an hour or all night. All I have is a black screen for a half an hour in one case, but I can still hear a 'soft' noise inside it. I usually just have to press the power button to shut it down then restart. Has anyone else had this happen and is there a fix? I had a thought today that it might require a firmware upgrade perhaps?

Re: macbook wakeup
Hi Chris, Have you got Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver activated in System Preferences Security - General. I had this activated and started to experience the black screen on wake up on my MacBook Pro awhile back. So Instead I turned on fast user switching and went to the login window to lock the screen. But, all is working as it should now since the last Firmware Update or one of the other updates. Wakes from sleep correctly with the Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver activated. To check if your MacBook Pro requires a firmware update go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 Cheers, Ronni On 28/04/2008, at 5:09 PM, Chris Burton wrote: Hi All Not sure if this is a universal problem but my macbook pro (purchased Jan 08 now with OSX 10.5.2) sometimes just doesnt wake up after being asleep for an hour or all night.

Kind regards chris I'd ensure you've got all the firmware updates installed. Are you sure it's not in Safe Sleep? Your MacBook will go into Safe Sleep if its battery is low, ie it writes all of memory out to disk and turns off. You won't be able to wake it from keyboard or mouse, but pressing the power button will cause it to reload memory from disk and start up where it left off. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757 Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer The love of liberty is the love Opinions for hire [POQ] of others; the love of power is http://newtonslore.com/fnord the love of ourselves - Hazlitt -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
