Standby & DVD player conflict
Hello !
3 years after the acquisition of my Leopard MBP, currently running with Mac OS 10.5.8, it still gives me a lot of trouble, even if already in its warranty period the service Apple changed its motherboard and also the AirPort Card.
Since the original DVD burner no longer works , I just mounted today a "Toshiba-Samsung TS-L632", and enlarged a little bit the DVD aperture in the front panel case of the MBP.
After a P-RAM memory reset, the new DVD player works well. 🙂
But after only one standby, for example by clicking on "Sleep" utility, the new DVD player does not work any more, and lauching for instance the "Disk Utility" induces the traditional endless rainbow disk ... 😟
After a classic reboot, following the above-mentioned probs, the reader is no longer supported, but one can repeat the standby operations ...
To use again the DVD facilities, I need to reset again the P-RAM and/or the Mac SMC ... !!
In summary there is a conflict between standby operation and the DVD-player suppport ...
So, any advice would be welcome ... cause I am cracking up with this computer !! 😢
Thank you in advance, Best regards.
