Hi all with the latest Powerbook 15" 1.67GHz.
I've had mine for exactly a year.
I am making video documentaries with FCP. My huge frustartion is that I have to get my next film done and........

In the last couple of weeks my laptop started going into sleep mode despite preferences set as never sleep either with power or battery.

Sometimes it will wake up if I press the spacebar several times. Sometimes it will not wake and I have to take out the battery, press the start button for several seconds, replace the battery and have to go and set teh year etc yet again?

My local dealer told me to reset the power management module or whatever it's called. This is what I am forced to do every time it will not wake up from a sudden sleep anyway.

This happens sometimes after hours of use, sometimes wityhin a few minutes. Sometimes it finally wakes and goes off again a few seconds later!

There is no problem with my battery. This keeps happening on either power or battery...

It has been suggested that I may end up having to get a new motherboard (I forget the other name for this) which could cost $1,000!

A friend suggests that if the one year warrenty ran out on the very day I started having this problem then I have a right to demand that it be replaced for free. After spending so much money on this machine it is only reasonable to expect a reasonable time to expect it not to break down.

Any thoughts or feedback on this highly frustrating problem will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Nev -- I wish I had the solution, but all I have is the exact same problem...

Pbook 15" 1.67Ghz, about 11 months old, and has just started spontaneously going to sleep. Often it is wakeable after a prolonged delay, but sometimes it is not, and must be rebooted.

Very frustrating. I hope someone has some insight. How does one reset the power management module?
