17″

purchased 11-2005

OS X 10.4.8

Problem seemed to develop after last update from Apple.

Tried all the tricks…reset PMU,onyX, reload update, etc.

Will awaken two to three times by repeatedly tapping space or enter or mouse.

After that, goes permanently to sleep. Sleep light on front pulsates dim to bright. Only way to restart is to unplug, remove battery. Sleep light still glows after that. Have to push power button to kill sleep light indicator. then replace battery and reboot.

They want to charge 952€ for replacing the top case and motherboard. It is a scandal! Does anyone know what to do?? Anyone else out of warranty for this problem? Hi everybody,

I have exactly the same problem that all of you describe.

Q1: 15′ PB 1.67GHz

Q2: march 2005.

Q4: latest version 10.4.7

Q5: space wakes for shorther and shorter times, not an hour though

My problem: out of the 1 year warranty by 5 months: they refuse to extent the warranty for what is clearly a serious hardware problem. They want to charge 952€ for replacing the top case and motherboard. It is a scandal! Does anyone know what to do?? Anyone else out of warranty for this problem?

In fact, I was tempted to open my computer and check for some touching wires after reading it. LOL I'm glad you're fixed. <br /> <br />I bet they replaced your topcase (and maybe logic board) like they did ours. :) Hi Serfikon… I remember your thread (read it while researching my problem).

I had exactly this issue and it has been >knock wood< repaired. It is a hardware issue and there is nothing you can do with your settings to change it. I had all the symptoms described by you people and struggled along for a couple of weeks trying to get an hour of work out of the poor overheating tinfoil sandwich here and there until I couldn't take it anymore and an admin at macfixit suggested I bring it in for service...lucily my PB 167 was only 8 months old so I got it more or less repaired. <br />check out this thread <br />http://www.macfixitforums.com/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Forum35&Number=731599&Forum=&Words=sleep&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=2&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=731197&Search=true#Post731599 <br />regards <br /> <br />Serfikon Hi everyone.

Mine was custom assembled in mid-June. If yours came from retail it could have been from months earlier. But where was it purchased and when was it manufactured?
