So, I'm back....
Everything seems to be working so far (Backlight, Battery, Touchpad, Wifi, Bluetooth, Audio).
So, back to the sleep issue. I've noticed after sleep, the machine wakes with no backlight (I noticed today, that the screen image is there, just not backlit). Also, no HDMI out. Wondering if I need to do something with the EDID for the wake from sleep backlight issue? What's everyone else done?
@RehabMan - I tried not deleting kexts, but the VoodooIC2 would not work unless I removed AppleIntelLpssI2C.kext and AppleIntelLpssI2Controller.kext
Attached are the usual files for review...
TIA
**EDIT**
OK, so everything points to the lid. If I set the sleep (on battery) to one minute and wait, I see the display go off. If I wait some more (30 seconds or so) the led status on the laptop changes from pulsing green to pulsing white - meaning it's asleep. If I press a key, tap the trackpad, etc the system wakes and all is well. This is the same if I wait for the sleep, close the lid - wait - then re-open the lid. Again the system wakes normally. The only time the system does not wake normally is when I close the lid to initiate sleep. Re-opening the lid, the status LED changes from white to green but no backlight.
Anyone else having this issue?!?!
TIA.
***EDIT #2 (sorry)***
If I select 'Sleep' from the Apple menu and wait for the LED status light to go from Green to White and then close the lid, the Blade wakes on lid open with no issues. Same with not closing the lid. Select "Sleep" from the Apple menu, the system enters sleep state and if I tap a key or the trackpad, the system wakes fine.
