Hey all

Twice now, my new 12"PB has frozen when I close the lid to put it to sleep. The flourescents in the monitor go dark, but the system is locked up (you can kind of see it on the monitor). The only way to resolve this is to hold the power button down for 5 sec to shut the computer down.

When the power button is pressed again, the system gets to the grey screen where diagnostics are run, it runs for a lil bit, and then the computer restarts and boots normally.

Besides the "why is it freezing" question, what is going on that my computer is rebooting itself like this? I am running 10.2.6.

i would try to post this in the powerbook forum, and see what kind of help you get there.

You may need to reset the Power Manager:

Let us know if it works!

Did you unplug any USB devices before putting it to sleep?

There is a known problem of this kind of freezing on wake on the Al PBs in macfixit - though I can't seem to find it now.

I think the recommended solution is to unplug the usb device, then wait for a while (how long - I do not know) before putting the PB to sleep.

I still get occasional freezes though.
