Hi peeps, just signed up as this seems a friendly and informative site, and may be able to help me

I have a 1.25GHz Powerbook G4 and recently the snooze light ALWAYS seems to be on when in Mac OSX. Anyone know why, or how I can sort it out?

Cheers,

Kritip

Sitting here in the dark, I also noticed my key lights aren't working, so maybe the two are related somehow? Def seems like a software problem, but im reluctant to reinstall.

It is probably a power management issue. Reset your PMU - search the support pages at the Apple website to find the way to do this for your model Powerbook.

Well, I reset the PMU (shift-ctrl-option-power) and it made no difference, the sleep light was on buring boot up as well, so looks like its probably time to strip it down or live with it Not worth getting it repaired I don't think.

Cheers,
