I called 1-800-APL-CARE today to fix the sleep problem with my macbook pro. Mike helped me out! (Case # 81227494)

I was putting it to sleep and it wouldn’t sleep. It would get really hot and then when I woke it up, I’d often have to turn the computer off and on again to get it out of sleep mode. NO FUN!

Here’s what he said to do in case you have the same problem.

1. Shut your computer down.
2. Take out the battery.
3. With the battery out, push the power button for ten seconds.
4. Put the battery back in and power up.
5. Power down.
6. Push the power button and then immediately hold down the option, apple, P and R keys until it makes the apple gong sound for the second time, then let go.
7. My sleep problem was fixed!

He also made me an appointment at the apple store to get my airport checked out since it’s busted and I think my ram is fried since I’ve been having problems importing live HD video into imovie. I’ll get all my hardware tested out later today!
