take the battery out, put it back in, leave it in, for about a week, plug in the computer in and after about an hour, start it up and see if that helps. You might also try resetting the pram instead. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Reedy" <wa9dro@xxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 10:39 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] OT, our daughters laptop. Hi folks, Our daughter brought her MacBook back from; college and none of the shutdown functions work, they just cause the computer to restart. And, when you close the lid, it does not stay in the sleep mode, you can hear the computer making its waking up sound with the lid closed. Any ideas? Thanks.
