Since someone had asked for the specifics this is the weird happenings 1) I put my Powerbook to sleep - (while on AC adapter) 2) Close the LCD 3) Later - Open the LCD 4) I get three beep tones 5) Followed by a series of four steady flashes of the sleep lcd indicator 6) No other beeps but there is a repeat of the flashes always in a series of four 7) Have to restart via holding and releasing the on/off switch Any clues as to whats up? Someone had suggested I purchased cheap memory since it's maxed to the 1 Gb level - but the memory is Apple factory and came with the PowerBook - System is about 8 months old - -- Joseph Fisher --
