DiaboliK Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 in a real mac the power idicator light fades in and out in sleep. while cleaning a powerbook g4 i noticed the light and the powerswitch is on the same circuit. so what i was thinking is if i hook the power led and the powerswitch into the same jumper for the power on the mobo. will i get the same effect? im working on my 915gux mobo with working acpi. i will test when i get a couple of spare jumpers and switches. just wanted to know if anyone has done this or tried it yet. *edit tried and it dosent work* darn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I think if u put a large enuf capacitor with the LED, it will fade in and out. I think the capicitor will have to bein parallel. Correct me if I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonkoala Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Many PCs have power LEDs that fade in and out in sleep anyway - my laptop does so you would jsut need to switch the wires or LEDs or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Dog Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 usually PC power led is blinking (and you can configure in bios) to get it fade in/out it should be possible with capacitor+resistance and even or a "bobine" (i said it in french as i don't have english word: long wire enrolled around isolent). i had done something like this at school but i can't remember how to achieve it, it's about 3 year from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
