MacOSMatt Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 hey, this is a pretty off-topic post but i really have no idea where to find the answers. i have a laptop (presario v2000) running xp. I want to use it in my car, for music, maps, and videos. but i need a function which allows the laptop to automatically hibernate when off the mains. Then when the mains have been plugged in or switched on automatically come consious (out of hibernation).. the inverter in my car would act as the mains, then when i ignited the car (and inverter) the laptop would come out of hibernation, and continue playing itunes etc. IT WOULD BE TOTALLY AWESOME. anyway for those who own a laptop, youl know that there is the symbol to show when mains is plugged in. coding something like this could be reletaviley easy? i cant program. if func mains_symb = true then HIBERNATE LAPTOP else UNHIBERNATE etc =p if anyone knows of a strange program that does this, il love you forever. any help and il love you forever =] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44881-laptop-hibernate-when-off-mains-a-program-that-does-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireshark Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 It's not easy, because anything that could help you wake up that easily would be asleep as well.

MacOSMatt Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 yeah the only thing i could come up with was a shot at battery, so each time the mains was unplugged itd hibernate straight away then come back to life once mains back in. so no easy way around it then..
