Comments on: Random Sleep, Bad Temperature Sensors in 17" Powerbook http://blog.w3conversions.com/2006/01/random-sleep-bad-temperature-sensors-in-17-powerbook/ realizations on life, the web, and everything Mon, 16 Mar 2015 06:43:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Erik Von Halle http://blog.w3conversions.com/2006/01/random-sleep-bad-temperature-sensors-in-17-powerbook/comment-page-3/#comment-3420 Erik Von Halle Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:23:29 +0000 http://www.communitymx.com/blog/index.cfm?newsid=652#comment-3420 The remedy is to disable kernel's extention: <br />/System/Library/Extensions/IOI2CLM7x.kext <br />by moving it to <br />/System/Library/Extensions/IOI2CLM7x.kext.DISABLED <br />and rebooting your mac. The remedy is to disable kernel’s extention:

/System/Library/Extensions/IOI2CLM7x.kext

by moving it to

/System/Library/Extensions/IOI2CLM7x.kext.DISABLED

and rebooting your mac.

So far, it's been working flawlessly. I've got the temp monitor and even with occasional jump when watching flash video or something intensive, it still keeps chugging away. <br /> <br />For all those that are so die hard certain it can't be fixed via a software patch, can you please say why? Thanks. <br /> Update on my Powerbook narcolepsy:

I'm glad my little hack seems to be working for you. As for the removal of the other kernel extensions, I'd recommend against it. I do not know what, if anything, those drivers control. So, just to play it safe, I'd put them back. However, that being said, if everything seems to still be working fine, I wouldn't worry about it too much. <br /> <br />Oh just a note to anyone still finding this thread useful: I figured out this hack in 10.4 Tiger, so if you are running Leopard it *SHOULD* still work, but I can't guarantee it. Good Luck to all. RE: Helder

To explain, just as with all others here, I too have a PBG4 17" from 2005. At one point, ran beautifully. Around 2007 or so, it began to pull the narcoleptic stunt... A LOT! Finally, did a clean install in 2008 and for a while it was back to normal. After a few OS updates, it once again began to pull the sleep cycle. <br /> <br />At first, thought it was from overheating via being on a bad lap stand. Or overheating from too much processing (trying HD video). <br /> <br />It's been so bad lately, that it would fall asleep at least once within first 15 minutes of being on. Found this forum - Thanks to Stephanie for putting it together, something I've essentially spent the last 2 years searching for on/off. <br />Reading through this, was starting to have that sinking feeling that there still wasn't a cure, but! Tried Alex's procedure and today, had it running with all sorts of things blazing for 5 hours without any issue! <br /> <br />Hoping to put it through the wringer over next few days to see what happens. <br /> <br />One note: When I went into the folder searching for IOI2CLM7x.kext and found <br />IOI2CLM6x.kext <br />IOI2CLM8x.kext <br />in addition to it. <br />I ended up moving all 3. Does anyone know if that was wise? As it's still running pretty smoothly, I'm not complaining, but just wondering if anyone else has any thoughts. <br /> <br />Either way, THANK YOU to all who have put this together, followed up, offered such great and detailed resolutions for all of us in the Apple Community.

I bought my 17" 1.67 G4 PB in August 2005, it started having sleep issues in April 2008. Like everyone else, I got the overtemp error message in console, and temp monitor showed large spikes in the trackpad temperature. I removed the trackpad temperature chip (as detailed in Rick Cameron's blog and others), and I haven't had any sleep problems since. <br /> <br /> <br /> My PB also suffered from narcolepsy.
