koenlek Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Today I installed ToH RC2. It worked very well. No sound and QE/CI in the beginning, but that was easily fixed with some drivers for Tiger. But after I was using it for about an hour, my laptop just powered off. After that my laptop doesn´t react on anything. When i turn it on, the power light burns for about a second and then it turns of again. When connecting it to AC-power then normally 2 LEDs turn on, but that also won´t happen anymore. Short said: my laptop is totally screwed. What I´m trying to say is: be very carefull with these very early Leopard releases... Maybe anybody has an idea what part of my laptop is screwed up. I guess i will just backup all my data from the disks (by connecting them to desktop using a 2,5 to 3,5" adapter), then erase everything exept for Vista and send it back to the manufacturer, because he is only 3 months old. I´ll tell you how this ends Greetings, Koen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snerler Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 That stinks. I wonder what exactly happened. Maybe the CPU overheating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Puppy Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Maybe the battery died, as a coincidence, rather than being directly caused by Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soündless Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 id say it is a fan control issue that lead to cpu overheating, i remember something like that hapeining to one of my friends back in the 10.4.0 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koenlek Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 I am sure it' s no overheating. Because i had TemperatureMonitor running. and it said my cpu's where about 65 degrees celcius. Maybe it is something with my motherboard or DDR2 RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koenlek Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 I guess i found the problem. I am afraid i just have been very stupid. I thoroughly tested almost everything, though i forgot to test one thing. I did not leave it for a while on ac power, to see if the battery wasn't just extreme empty. I thought of it, but i just forgot to do it. After connecting it for a longer while i found out that some LEDs turned on again. From that moment, my laptop worked again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
