Hi ,
I am in a mess with my old clamshell ibook ( firewire, DVD-Rom, 366mhz , macOs 9.2) which I took apart to make a digital picture display. The disassembly was easy as per help from Fixit guide. Now I have put together the unit to get it into the box for display, but when I turn on the computer the unit turns on and I see that desktop with hard drive and the cursor which is accessible but the computer goes to sleep within 10-15 seconds. touching any key brings it back but only to go back to sleep mode again. Playing with the cursor does not keep it awake!
The computer worked perfectly before I disassembled it. It seems that the sleep button is somehow gone into a loop. Or something to do with hinges/cables that I took apart during disassembly. Maybe logic board problems!! I did try to be careful in keeping the parts together and took pictures to guide me. I can start the computer with original CD and the finder lets me use the cursor for a bit longer approx 40-45 secs but then it goes to sleep again. The subsequent tries to wakeup iBook result into very brief period of only few secs. I would appreciate any thoughts or help that anyone can provide.
thank you.
