Hi all,

My MBP (2008, 10.5.8) no longer goes to sleep after the set time in energy saver preferences. I've experimented with various permutations (software running, trying at login screen) and times and resetting the SMC. I want to trash the plist that governs this, but I don't know which one it is. Which one should I trash?

Also, other than resetting the SMC and trashing plists, is there anything else I can try or do to figure our what's keeping it awake?

Thanks in advance!

There's probably more though...

Could be a peripheral or if you allow a network connection to wake your MBP as well.

Thanks guys, I'll give that a shot.

I'll trash the plist and make sure any wake-on-whatevers are off.
