I've read about a few sleep problems, not sure if they involved a Wallstreet. The problem can occur if you replace the internal hard drive. As I understand it, when you close the lid, there is a magnet-based switch that tells the PowerBook the lid is closed. When you open the lid, the magnet releases the switch and the PowerBook can awake. There are some drives that will generate a stronger magnetic field which may causes the switch to stay closed, thus preventing the PowerBook to notice the lid has been opened. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe, trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
