martguy Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 There are a number of Compaq Presario C700 / C7XX series laptops that can run OSX almost perfectly. These laptops are very common and can be purchased extremely cheaply. The biggest problem is that these laptops can go into sleep mode, but cannot wake up after. Does anyone have a solution? Is there an alternate kernel or power management kext that allows this function to work? Are there known issues that have no solution at this time? Does anyone have any experiences getting these laptops out of Sleep mode?

hotai Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Sorry for the newbie reply, but how do I install the com.apple.Boot.plist and the Speed Step? I know the Speed Step is an app, do I just run it? Thanks in advance!

collit99 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Please do check Superhai's EHCISleepEnabler and ClamshellDisplay kext. EHCISleepEnabler enable to sleep and wake up ClamshellDisplay closing the laptop Lid will trigger sleep. both works great on my acer 4310. Please do check the readme....

hotai Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ok so I tried to install a few of these and I achieved a kernel panic... Not super worried, but I have no idea what to do now... Any help would be mucho appreciated. Is there some way to restore my mac partition back to what it was before I tried installing these kexts? [EDIT] Ok so here is the panic: panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00432ea3): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI"\".\n"@/SourceCache/Xnu/xnu-1228.5.20\iokit\Kernel\IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1407 Debugger called: <panic> Backtrace, Format - Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack) [LOTS OF NUMBERS HERE] Backtrace terminated-invalid frame pointer 0 BSD proecess name corresponding to current thread: unknown Mac OS version: Not yet set Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 9.4.0: Date So I have no idea what do to from here!

niadma Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I would also like to know if there are any updates on this because I too have a c700 series, and if I could get sleep to work I would probably use my OSX partition for everything and stop using or remove my XP partition entirely.

b.h. Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 How you tried this: Using iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 Final install with no custom kexts except Conexant HiDef Audio: Uninstall all custom *Power* kexts. Install 10.5.7 combo Install VoodooPower (or Enhanced Intel SpeedStep 1.4.0), VoodooBattery, Leopard PowerManagement.bundle (-> this ones seems to do not much?) Install VoodooPS2Controller Install AppleSMBIOSEFI. I have sleep working. However, sometimes KB/Mouse does not respond after waking. I am having a prblem with the fan algo. It does not spin at all until CPU hits 80C, and whirls full blast for about 5 seconds and stops after dropping to 78C!!! This leads the notebook ALWAYS operating at about 75C, which is too hot and sometimes freezes. In Windows/Linux/DOS the fan usually always spins at a quiet, low speed and keeps the CPU temp below 60C. Any ideas?

Oh the Huge Manatee Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Holy {censored} BH that's great news! I might try a fresh reinstall just to see if that helps... though as I recall I didn't have any success right after my initial iPC install, so who knows. I did find another sleep thread with a great suggestion though: make sure all your kext dependencies are met. Unmet dependencies are KNOWN to cause crashes and faulty wakeups. Have a look in system profiler under extensions. Each kext will explain if it has any unmet dependencies, and what the problem is. Apparently my ACPIPS2 nub kext doesn't like my version of AppleACPIPlatform. I will work on this and let you all know my progress. UPDATE: eliminating my dependency issue did make a difference! S3 sleep still causes the same problem (though I'm gonna test it again), but hibernate no longer kills my sound kext. Battery meter is still hooped on wake, but at least I have sound. CPU fans still having trouble on wake (they only come on when temp hits 80 degrees, and only cool to 78 degrees, tho this fixed my pre-sleep fan issues) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118432-any-ideas-for-wake-from-sleep-for-compaq-c700-c7xx-series/#findComment-1227681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
