My TiBook locks up each time I close the lid, and continues to do this REALLY IRRITATING THING no matter which user I'm logged in as. Root, regular ol' administrator, user, nothing makes a difference.
I've tried re-installing Jaguar from REAL DISKS PROVIDED BY APPLE (thanks to my wife, the teacher) to no avail.
It doesn't matter if it's running off the battery or plugged in.
Here's what it does:
Close the lid, and the computer goes to sleep, as usual.
the light "breathes" just as it always should.
Open it, the display brings back up all the icons, background pictures, and anything else that was open on the screen when closed in the first place.
But then, nothing. no pointer. keys don't make a difference.
Close the lid back down, and the computer stays on. no sleeping.
Nothing works except rebooting.
Disk First Aid, Norton, and Drive 10 all say nothing's wrong.
The Hardware Test Disk included with the computer says everything checks out.
I'm not going to undo screws to see about a loose connection somewhere, but am willing to try my hand at the unix underlyings if need be - and if that's the case, please be specific, since I'm new at that part, at least.
I don't know yet if it still happens in OS9, but I'll try that when I finish typing this - I just thought about checking that - I'll update soon.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Please help!
I've got the year of AppleCare, but I'd really like to hear what you guys have to say before I make the call. I'm usually pretty good at stuff like this, but this has me stumped. Needless to say, my wife (who really owns the TiBook) would like me to fix it. There's pride involved here.
Well, no dice for OS9 either - I guess it must be some kind of hardware thing. Any more intelligent guesses than that floating around out there?
