Well last night I took the plunge and decided to re-install OS X to see if it would correct my sleepless Pismo. First I tried to do an Archive and Install. While the installation went off without a problem, I still had a sleepless machine after all that! Soooo, decided to roll out the big guns, backed everything up to my external firewire drive and did a full clean install, interestingly when I completed the initial install of Jaguar and I completed entering my baseline information, name, address, .mac account data, etc. it immediately launched software update and told me it wanted to install 10.2.1, iTunes 3.01, and the security update. I let that proceed and after completion I presume I now have (before reloading backups) a clean system with the latest updates. BUT THE MACHINE IS STILL SLEEPLESS! Use the menu item, screen blanks then lights up again, close the lid, the backlight goes out and the sleep light pulses; but I can hear the hard drive cycling. I opened the process viewer but I'm not sure that it can help. Rather than list them all, it says there are 32 processes running. Perhaps someone else could check their machine and see if the number correlates to theirs. I did have a Bluetooth adapter and a wireless mouse plugged into the USB ports, but I unplugged them and still have the problem. I am now officially at the bottom of my bag of tricks, anyone got a suggestion?
