So I've read plenty about the new MBP's not sleeping properly, but since most of the chatter around here is about those I can't seem to find much about my potential problem. I have had the unit since the end of October. I bought it on fleabay, new in box. It's been great.
My MBP doesn't seem to sleep properly...and seems to have an overactive sleep LED as well.
When I close my lid, the LED comes on, but the fans and HDD are still running. I can hear them. Sometimes it's for 2 minutes, sometimes it's for 10 and sometimes it doesn't ever seem to truly be completely asleep. I don't know if this is normal behavior but it does not seem like it would be.
When I stated about an overactive sleep LED, I experienced a pretty odd thing in that I had shut down the system one day last week because it was not going to sleep properly. I plugged it in and let it charge. I went to work and when I came home the LED was on, but the computer was not at all. I thought that was very odd.
Another thing that happens is that when the comp is on, and the screen turns itself off after 5 minutes, as I have it set to in the power saving preferences, the sleep LED comes on, even though the computer is clearly not sleeping.
I had a powerbook for 4.5 years before this machine and did not experience anything like that. I'm just not sure if the MBP's behave differently.
Any ideas or suggestions?
