[QUOTE="newfred, post: 50232"] Hi everyone. I hope that my question has not been covered in previous threads, but I've had a look and can't find anything conclusive. I have a 2003 iBook G3 700MHz with 128mb RAM. It has behaved perfectly until a few weeks ago when, after having left it plugged in and shut down while I was away (for a week), I came back to find it unable to sleep. However, it's not entirely that simple: It WILL sleep if the lid is closed and on battery power only; but it WILL NOT sleep if the computer is plugged in to the mains, and the lid is either open or closed. Furthermore, from the same point in time, my second USB bus will not work but does receive power. I've tried resetting the P. M. U., but to no avail. I wonder if a power surge or something similar might have caused hardware damage while I was away, but I ran diagnostics, which returned no problems. Any thoughts? I'm running the doomed 10.2.8 as well. Thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
