As I understood the problem, it's a video issue and this issue has not been answered to satisfaction. My Wallstreet still has problems with the video going blank, though I recently discovered that this seems to happen only if the battery is in. The battery is old and didn't hold a charge for more than 30 minutes when it was fully charged and the computer was using OS 9. After the OS X upgrade, I began having this problem.
Now on start up, after the comp has started up the various services, if I press the brightness button I get a picture. If the battery is in, the vid lasts for a few minutes. If the battery is out the vid stays--for days if I leave the comp alone. If I don't catch it at the right moment the computer goes to sleep and no tapping or magnet passing over the HD will awaken it; it has to restarted.
If anyone has any better suggestions, I'm reading for it.
Thanks,
J Sanderson

If you use a magnet close to your hard drive you are asking to loose all your data. I don't care what other people have done, drives work off magnetic polarity, if you reverse it with a magnet, viola your data is gone. I would go with the brass idea instead. I have a Mainstreet (300MHz 14.1") and have never had this problem with multiple drives including the original 4900RPM 8GB IBM, 10,20, and now 30GB Toshiba drives.Those drive are also located in the same place. Thats just my humble opinion though.

Try gingerly running a magnet along the right side of the keyboard, over the
hard drive. Reed switch may be hung and needs a jiggle to allow wakeup if
you have put a modern hard drive in place of the OEM hard drive. I keep a
fridge magnet handy and use it way too often, Have not erased hard drive
yet.

Hi-
I remember a thread from a few days ago about sleep/display problems on a
Wallstreet. At the time, I wasn't having any problems so I didn't pay much
attention, but oddly enough, a Wallstreet I just sold to a friend is having
the problem now.
Was ther any resolution found for this problem? I deleted my old messages.
Specs for his machine:
14.1 inch display
300 MHz
192 MB RAM
10.2.8
Thanks,
Scott
