To recap: On Tue, Jun 11, 2002, 9:49am (EDT-3), <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Harbourmaster) had this to say about my sleepy but drive-active 520c:
=== This sounds to me like a Power Manager problem. Try restarting the book and hold down the command-option-P-R keys to reset the PRAM. Hold the keys down and make them chime at least_10_ times before you let the book restart. If that doesn't clear the problem then I would suggest that you remove all power from the machine and disconnect the Pram battery for an hour or so to fully discharge the PRAM. <snip> Aloha, Ken --- I tried 20 consecutive PRAM zaps but when I allowed it to boot , it immediately went to sleep. I disassembled it and disconnected the PRAM battery, then left it that way overnight. This morning, I reassembled it, started it, reset the control panels, then did some word processing and battery testing for 3 hrs. with no problems. It slept only when prompted to do so from the menu. The hard drive still won't spin down but if that can't be fixed I can live with it. The only time I use battery power on this machine is to cycle batteries. Having the drive running constantly only speeds up the process.
