Q: powerbook wake from sleep problems.
i have a powerbook G4 1GHZ 512MB Ram running 10.5.8. works great except for one incredibly annoying problem. it doesn't wake from sleep! at least not properly anyway. weather closing the lid or doing it from within the OS it seems to go to sleep fine but when i open the lid or press the power button it doesn't fully wake. i hear the computer turn on but the screen never turns does. the keyboard and trackpad are also unresponsive and i don't hear the hard drive running either. the only way for me to get it working properly again is to hold the power button until it turns off and then turn it back on. everything else works perfectly fine. I've been searching the internet for days now and have found a number of people with similar (but not identical) problems, but i have yet to find a definitive solution. shutting down my computer every time i have to go somewhere is really starting to get on my nerves. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
