makk Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 hello give a good read from here #4 good hack Thank you artur, I've done that many times but no luck. It seems on this old version of laptop nothing works. Sleep no problem, hibernate no problem. SSD and hibernate not a good idea. Last thing was can a USB thumb drive be used to hibernate? probably not as it is similar to solid state drive. For plain old sleep & wake, always make sure to disable hibernation: sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 sudo pmset hibernatefile /dev/null sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepfile Thanks Herve' will give this a try.

makk Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Tried the /dev/null method same result. No wake. hibernate is 0. neverhibernate checked in config.plist. patched dsdt. I had to use Intel Shutdown patch in dsdt. So I'm wondering what the wake is like in other systems. the other thing I read was to remove _PRW. these are in USB ports and a few other things. but not that many. would the _PRW just be removed or change the name to something else? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makk Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 In order for sleep to work on mac's, does the sleep config have to be set in the power management setting to some minutes? or not necessary? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
