I have an first gen 2.0ghz Macbook. I recently put in a new western digital scropio 160gb hard drive. Now whenever I close the lid and the macbook goes into to suspend it doesn't startup again when I open the lid. The only way to get it back on is to hold down the power button until it shuts off and press it again to turn it back on. Any ides? Do you think it's the new hard drive? Not sure if I was having the problem before.

Have you added any new peripherals that stay connected when your macbook goes to sleep and when you reopen it?

You probably need to do an archive and install as there's most likely a corrupted system file.

You COULD try a few things:

1. Create a new user and see if it works that way.
2. Reset PRAM
3. Boot from an external hard drive and see if that works.

Sounds like software though, and I would do an archive and install.
