Worked for me... mostly
Authored by: AgBlue on Jul 29, '03 05:01:54PM

iBooks and the Powerbook G4 12in both have magnets in the right palm rest right below the inverted 'T' arrow keys (specifically the right arrow key). Use a keychain ring and drag it along that area and you'll find it sticks. In the corresponding position in the LCD is a switch which gets pulled when the screen is about to close. By using something that blocks the magnetic field you can prevent it from stopping. Stainless steel can do this. If you have a stainless steel coin, or washer, you can insert it here and it won't sleep! (In the powebook g4, the magnet is on the screen, and switch is in the palmrest).

Also, be very aware of the heat issue!! Try not to overheat your comp. Use at your own risk, good luck..
