my macbook pro went to sleep and would not wake up. i found a solution and since i want to remember, i’ll post here…
yes, it works
1. connect the nonworking computer to another mac with a firewire cable
2. turn the nonworking computer and hold down T – will let you access it as if it is an external hard drive
3. access the /private/var/vm/ directory on the nonworking computer from the working computer. This is invisble so you will have to press cmd+shift+g in the finder and go to /volumes/YOURHARDDISKNAME/private/var/vm to get there or use an application that lets you view invisble folders like PathFinder.
4. delete the sleepimage file
5. delete the /system/library/extensions.mkext file
6. eject the drive (drag to the trash)
7. press the power button to turn off the non working computer
8. turn the nonworking computer back on normally(cross your fingers) then if it works,
9. open up the the terminal.app in /applications/utilities
10. type sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
11. make sure there is no sleepimage file again
