Powerbook G4 goes to sleep randomly

Funny, because mine says 7447B on it. Was there a difference between the G4 PowerPC 7447A and B?

Less than between 7447 and 7447A. B is able to go bit higher than A @ the same Core Voltage (in general - it also depends on particular chip, similar as in PC world is). My 1.42 eMac (with B chip) is running fully stable @1.92 GHz.

Finally the Powerbook is running 100%. What i did was, first i removed the thermal sensor form the trackpad. Then it didnt hibernate for a couple of days, but then it started again.

Then i read something about the light sensor in the right corner just above the powerbutton. I cut it off and now the Powerbook has been running fine for a couple of weeks. That did the trick.

Ah thats great. Glad everything worked out in the end. I've also learned a thing or two about Powerbooks. Hah.
