All of a sudden my PB won't wake from sleep after a single night because the battery is so flat. It never used to do this and it has happened suddenly rather than slowly getting worse. Any ideas? It's an original 867mhz, 1 year old, 640mb RAM. I've changed nothing on it hardware or software wise. It still charges in the same amount of time...

you may want to recalibrate your battery and reset your power management unit. that may help.

LOL! I just mentioned it to my wife who without me knowing had used the PB a lot last night and hadn't put it on charge...

I guess my little 12" friend is OK after all.
