The only thing I can think of would be the Power Manager. Have you tried reseting the Power Manager? You can usually accomplish this by shutting down the machine, unplugging the ac adapter from the back, taking the battery out, and holding in the reset button for one minute. Then plug your AC adapter back in and fire it up... I usually put the battery back in after the machine is running. Supposedly, zapping the PRAM will also reset the Power Manager, but I haven't had as much luck with that method on my 3400... Check your PRAM battery to make sure it isn't weak. I've seen weak PRAM batteries cause all kinds of strange things to occur. Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
