Does any one know if there is away to get my
G4 1.2ghz iBook (OSX 10.3.9) to be able to run with the lid/cover/ screen in the closed position without it going into sleep mode? I Ask since I do Live recordings and often it would be great if I could start recording and then close the cover and stow the iBook away,since I can monitor any clippin levels on my presonus firebox.... I thought I heard that this couldbe possible... thanx

There are other options that will allow you to defeat the "reed switch", which is the mechanical component that informs the iBook that the lid is closed and therefore, puts the iBook into sleep mode.
You can check the method out here. However, as stated in this article, there is the possibility to overheat the iBook running in this mode (clamshell mode). Other than the space savings, what is the reason you wish to close the lid? If it is simply the display, dim the screen brightness to "0" and it will go dark. Best of luck. peace. -------------------- |
