Hello
I'm new to this forum. I thought i'd give it a shot before i bring my macbook to the local Mac repair shop.
I have a white macbook (not a pro, mac osx 10.5.7 with 2.5 GB ram)
The problem i have is when the battery is in, even if i'm using the AC power adapter, within 2 seconds, it goes into sleep mode. and it won't matter how much i have to touch a key to bring it back live, it goes back to sleep.
I have to physically remove the battery to prevent this from happening.
The tech at the store did suggest to do several things, which have been tried several times such as: removing the battery and unplugging with holding the power for 10 seconds, that wouldn't work. then tried the Option-Command P and R keys, holding this as it starts up, will reset it. this created my fan to constantly run, so i redid the first step i had done, holding the power for 10 seconds, and that fixed what was happening with the fan. I also did another reset which was suggested to do as well; control-command and Power for 5 seconds.
Tried a new battery, still the same thing. Funny thing is, even if it goes the sleep mode, it still is charging the battery.
I'm thinking this may be a mother board issue.... anyone else got this issue before, any thoughts?
my warranty is out, so let's hope its not the board lol.
thanks!
