i've had my 15'' powerbook for some months now, and i recently bought a screen protector cloth to avoid the keys from damaging the screen when
the powerbook is closed.
but...if i put the protector in and close the screen while the machine is on (so it goes into sleep mode), it won't wake up when i open it later. it hasn't turned itself off, but i have to reboot using Ctrl+Command+Power...
i like to just keep my machine sleeping when i'm not using it, does that
mean i have no use for the screen protector?

Just looks like a coincidence to me. Your screen protector cloth shouldn't have any affect on your PB. Sometimes it might take a while for your computer to wake up from its slumber... I know for a fact mine does.

i know what you mean - and that's not it. it never happens without the
screen protector, and it always happen when i use it.
i just read some of the "PowerBook G4 15-inch Getting Started.pdf" file
Never place anything over your keyboard before closing
the display. This can cause your computer to cycle on and off which may create excessive heat and drain on your battery.
i don't understand how they can sell the screen protectors if it will damage the machine.
Not an issue. I always keep the iSkin protector on my keyboard - while using it, whilst on sleep and also when its shut off. Additionally, I also use the ScreenSaverZ cloth when i put it on sleep or shut it down. It works perfectly for me. Maybe u should get ur PB checked out or something.

i got a slightly thinner cover and now it works fine.
