I've seen this before on my 12", but I've seen it disappear. If I put it to sleep via the menu, it wakes up after a few seconds. Then, Airport is disabled, and a spinning beach ball appears over the menu area. Only a restart will work.

Zapped PRAM, Power Manager, etc.

I've seen it happen even without putting it to sleep. Is it a hardware issue?

Thoughts?

UPDATE: Shutting the lid does not exhibit this behavior. Yet.

Looks like Bluetooth is causing the wakeup...?

(Also, it wakes up with the lid shut, but then sleeps ok on its own.) Sigh.

Do you have the bluetooth wakeup option on in the bluetooth control panel? That would cause if you you did something on a paired device, like click a bluetooth mouse.

You know, I turned that off. But it still woke up, when the lid was shut and I tapped on the Bluetooth Keyboard. Reinstalling the OS now...

going to see if it's not apps. that went wonky (never happened before). you all think that Kingston RAM may have fried something? it was a ddr2 so-dimm? dang.

Reinstalled OS, all is fine. Wakes up on its own with the Kensington PilotMouse Bluetooth Mouse (even if you didn't move the mouse; the PowerBook would wake on its own), which unchecking "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" helped stop. At least Airport reconnects.
