I have had a strange problem with my 15" MBP from the beginning. After opening the lid when in sleep mode, the MBP usually wakes up normally and prompts me to enter my password.
Sometimes, however, after entering it, the screen goes dark again, the white LED comes on again (not flashing) and nothing happens. If I then press a key again, the MBP will again present me with the familiar login prompt. After entering my PW for the second time, I can then normally use the machine.
This is kind of annoying as it happens quite often.
Anyone have an idea what's wrong here? Thanks for any help.

How fast or slow do you open the lid?

Well, pretty fast I'd say. :-) If that matters. Certainly not particularly slowly.

Things like that happen infrequently on all laptops - they get confused as to their open or closed state. How often does it happen?

I have never had such symptoms on several generations of Windows laptops. It may happen 3-4 times out of 10 on my MGP right now. It isn't much of a problem, but can be pretty annoying.

Oh, that would be abnormal. I'd call Apple.

This happens all the time to me on my Rev.A MBP17. Well, almost. The computer doesn't prompt me for a password. But here's what happens:
1. I close the lid, and the monitor backlight turns off.
2. After about a second, the optical drive does its initialization noise, and the backlight turns on again.
3. I could leave it there for a second or for an hour -- the computer will remain awake with the backlight on.
4. When I open the MBP, the backlight turns off within about three seconds and the laptop finally goes to sleep like it's supposed to.
I think it's a problem with the sleep function.

I used to have this problem with my AIbook (staying awake and also, the password thing). I don't have it on my MBP as I recall. I guess it depends on how frequent the problem is. I never felt the need to do anything about it.
