Torolla Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ok, after 1 day my situation is this: - When i power on my laptop unconnected to the electricity (sorry for my english...), it was frozened on the grey apple screen. If i connect it i have no problem. - The temperature of the CPU is so hot, 75 degrees. Fan is not at 100%... (I removed the AppleACPIThermal.kext...) I installed Jas 10.4.8 and update to 10.4.10. Please help me. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62860-power-battery-problem/#findComment-445649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torolla Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ok i think i solved the problem with fans. I installed SpeedIt.kext and now temperature down 10 degrees. I think before the temperature it's not ok... Now i need to solve the problem with the battery... i don't find why if i don't boot with the a/c adapter the system froze at the grey apple.

mrmixure Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I've got the same problem with my Asus A6VM. I installed Uphuck v. 1.4i (10.4.9 Tiger) but there is no AMD options on the dvd (dvd only for Intel). Where I can find the AMD packages I need ? Thanks.

salax Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi there, I seem to have the same problem, and decided to try the AMD kernel (SSE3) on my VAIO VGN-N11M which reported the same stuff (hangs at ACPI: System State [s0 S3 S4 S5] (S3) but to no success.. Any other suggestions please? (10.4.8) Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62860-power-battery-problem/#findComment-587104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
akula169 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have the same problem where it won't boot without the AC plugged in. I just installed XxX 10.4.11. Booting worked fine after install. But... once I installed a different IOPCIFamily.kext (not sure where its from, but I use it because it works) to get my PCMCIA slots working, the problem starts. When I switch back to the orignal install kext, I can boot without AC. I guess I need to find where I got the updated kext and find a newer replacement - as I've been using it since 10.4.8. BTW, you should boot in verbose mode, would give you a bit more insight to where the problem happens - grey boot screen doesn't tell you much.

salax Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'll give it a try and update to 10.4.11 to see what happens. Mine doesn't go to a grey boot screen.

youngi Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 haha, i dont have any problem like that, but it's just hilarious that the solution is to install AMD patches on intel...HOW WEIRD!!

bubez Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 On my notebook (Pentium M Dothan, I915PM) the battery duration is minimal (about 30 mins), I think there's something wrong with the kernel I use (the SSE2/AMD one for Leopard), plus when I shut down, the laptop remains on and I have to shut down manually. Any solution? Thanks (Sorry if I posted here in the Tiger section but I couldn't find a similiar post anyelsewhere) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62860-power-battery-problem/#findComment-606006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
