MacBook Pro Sleep/Wake from sleep problem

As of today I have been experiencing a strange problem with my MBP. I can't wake my MBP when I open the screen although the machine is running. I also realized that I can't put it to sleep mode when I select it from the menu. Also, strangely, when I close the display to put it in sleep mode, the light stays on, instead of blinking. I already reset the power manager and the parameter RAM. I also have all my software updated. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd like to update my situation. After resetting power management and the parameter RAM, I have also deleted the files:com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com.apple.systemuiserver.plist. The same problem keeps happening. No matter what I do the computer just won't enter sleep mode. I even repaired all of the disk permissions. Right now, I have backed up all of my data, and will be re-installing Max OS X. Keep you posted.

I'm done re-installing Mac OS X, and changing everything back to factory default settings. The same problem happens, it's impossible to put the computer to sleep. When I close the lid, the bright light stays on, and when I open the lid, I have a black LCD screen. Only thing to do is to re-start.

I'm having this issue too. Unable to put the computer to sleep from the Apple menu, and when I either close the lid or let it fall asleep on its own, I can't wake the computer up again. I know it's on, because I can raise and lower the volume, but the screen stays black, and I have to do a hard restart to get it working again. Please help!

Having the exact same problem on a Macbook Pro purchased 9 months ago running 10.4.10
Tried the things listed above (PRAM/Power Management/Fresh install). None of them are a solution.
Hitting "Sleep" from the apple menu does nothing.
When forcing a sleep (closing the lid/timing out on "put my computer to sleep after XX") it looks like it goes to sleep, but when opening the LCD, the LCD doesn't come back on. The computer is fully responsive and alive, this can be easily shown by hitting the volume up/down buttons, or inserting/ejecting a CD. The brightness controls do not work, and the only way to get the LCD to come back on is a hard boot.

I searched for Macbook Pro sleep issues since I am having one with my brand new 2.4 MBP.
I adjusted the sleep mode so it doesn't "safe sleep" because that took far too long for my needs. Before and after doing so, however, after the computer goes to sleep (pulsing light), I have taken it out of its bag and noticed the Apple lit up and it making noise. It wakes when I open the lid again but I am concerned it never slept soundly.
I have Bluetooth wake from sleep OFF so that's not the issue.
Has anyone else had concerns that their MBP is not sleeping soundly? I don't want to damage this computer, but I cart it back and forth to work every day i my backpack, and I need to be comfortable that it's parked and asleep during transit.

I am having the same issue along with a jumpy track pad... Just updated from my 12" PowerBook thinking I'd be much better off. The computer is more powerful, but less reliable.

I updated my Macbook Pro 15" yesterday morning (8/28/2007) to 10.4.10, and now I am having this problem. I think there is a problem with the 10.4.10 update.

I can't fix the waking up from sleep issue. Tried "resetting your mac's PRAM and NVRAM" support article, fixing disk permission, AND buying all new RAM! If my computer goes to sleep from any number of ways, low battery, closing the lid, or from power mgmt setting a HARD RESET is required use the LCD. This *****!!!

Most definitely not a .10 issue. I reformatted and reinstalled from my factory original 10.4.6 DVD, same problem before and after the 10.4.10 update (tested =P)
