Title: TiBook 500MHz grey screen on wake from sleep, 9.2.2
Post by: Hopfenholz on December 24, 2020, 12:05:22 AM

I have a lovely TiBook which I just acquired. It’s only a humble 500MHz G4 with VGA but with an SSD installed it flies along. However upon wake from sleep, I get the same grey (actually black and white 1px checkerboard) screen you get on initial startup and nothing happens.

This happens even with extensions off. OS is universal 9.2.2, not a funny unsupported version.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Joel

Well I solved it. It turns out to be the Transcend 2.5" IDE solid state drive. I installed it jumper less. When I added a jumper set to "Master" the machine now boots perfectly into FireWire disk mode and wakes from sleep as it should. Hope this info helps someone else at some point.
