jamesdstark Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 When I run my titanium off battery power, it always sleeps in about two minutes. I changed my powersave settings to never sleep on battery, but it still happens. When it goes into sleep, it won't wake until I plug the power cable in. The battery has a good charge, says 3 hours remaining. When I turn the computer back on it goes right back to where I was, I'm not completely loosing power. I'm relatively new to macs maybe I'm missing something obvious here? Is the battery bad?

munky Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 possibly. but you should try resetting the pram and the pmu. check apple's support docs for how to do it. holding command-option-p-r during poweron should zap the pram. hope this helps.

e-rick Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 check battery health with istat (widget). if it's below 40% you should start worrying about your battery... If one of the cells died it will have the same effect... . if battery health is oké then I'd defenitely follow munky's instructions. succes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43199-powerbook-g4-titanium-goes-into-standby-after-minutes-on-battery-power/#findComment-308984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
