One thing, when it fails to wake, give it some time, 5 to 10 minutes. On my Wallstreet it will sometimes take a longer time to wake up. One time it wouldn't wake up until I closed the lid, putting it to sleep again and then opening the lid and waking it again. You can't do that with the B&W of course.
Mine won't do that...you end up at the screen where the screen saver is frozen. Sometimes if you give it a lot of time, it'll change to a plain grey screen, but you can't get it to work from there...
That is what I've gotten a few times. The last time is when I tried closing the lid and opening it again and it did wake from sleep when I hit a key. The only thing I can think of is to hit the power button if that normally puts the computer to sleep (I don't recall with the B&W, the only one I work with is a server so we never sleep it).
I would suggest first doing a PRAM zap and if that doesn't work then try a NVRAM reset. Hold down Command-Option-P-R during boot to zap the PRAM. To reset NVRAM hold down Command-Option-O-F at boot and then at the prompt type "reset-nvram" or "reset-all" and then press return.
Neither of those have worked, it also doesn't seem to matter what screen saver I'm using, whether it's an Apple one or [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it's a problem that's followed me onto a new hard drive when my old one died, too, so it's not an OS install problem, either.
Try disabling the screen saver. Set the screen saver activation time to something longer than the energy saver screen sleep time.
