Re: Wallstreet going blank

Have you tried it with/without the battery? Different power supply if you have one? A different wall socket? Disconnect everything, mouse, etc if you have stuff connected, dock, etc and make sure none of the peripherals are causing it. Reset the PMU. Shift + fn+ ctr + power button screen goes blank comes back with the wrong time. Mine actually got faster after I did that. A little. Make sure the LCD isn't loose. Try it with an external monitor. There's some suggestions anyway, hope that helps. thanks for the info on the RAM,

Mike

Yea, mine only wakes when I hit the spacebar, but when it goes black like
what I described, NOTHING will make it come back on...that I've discovered
yet anyway.

I've got two 256MB sticks, think they were PC100, that's all I remember, I
put them in myself a few weeks ago.

This going to sound stupid, but my Wallstreet only wakes up when I hit
the space bar. You might want to try that. I've been trying to figure
what kind of RAM to put in this Wallstreet to get 512MB. What are you
using? PC100? PC133? Do you know what the latency is? (It should have a
CL and then a number on the chip) Thanks,

I have a 292mhz Wallstreet.  Occasionally, the screen just goes
blank...and
I don't mean sleeping.  When its sleeping, the little power light
flashes,
but when it does this, the power light doesn't flash.

When it does this, I can't get it to come back on (the screen), but I
know
things are going on as it still makes all the sounds and such. I used
to do
a forced reset, but today I pressed the power button once, heard the
hard
drive rattle, so I was assuming it was the 'are you sure you want to
shutdown' message, hit the left arrow key and then <enter> and it did
in
fact shut down, so at least I don't have to hard reset it anymore.

Anyway, does anyone know what causes this, for the screen to just go
blank
and not come back? After it reboots, it's fine. But it seems to do
this
about every other day and is kind of annoying. Sometimes it's after I
have
closed it and it goes to sleep, then later I will open it up, hit the
spacebar and nothing...sometimes it works fine and wakes up.

Today, I had just woken it up from sleep, looked away for a minute,
looked
back and it was blank again...hit the spacebar, nothing.

Any ideas or suggestions? I'm running OS X.2.8. With 512Mb RAM.
