Panther No Sleep
The 10.3 install over 10.2.6 was relatively painless but has left me with some problems. Many, such as Safari instability, have been noted elsewere. I've seen a number of references to sleep issues, but none quite like mine. Your suggestions are welcome.
My iBook will not sleep when the lid is closed. This is a direct result of the 10.3 install. Tunes continues to play through the muffled speakers and the "Apple" stays lit with the lid closed. I can induce real sleep only through the apple menu. And when the screensaver deploys, no password is required to wake up (as set in System Preferences). This problem happens across all bootable partitions (including existing 10.2.6)
I've been through it with AppleCare, I'd already reset the PRAM, we reset the Firmware, and I removed the additional 128M of memory. I also reinstalled 10.3 on a separate partition. All to no avail.
Just a note: I removed the battery for the install as I'd fired my battery with the 10.2.4 update and was not looking for a repeat. AppleCare saw no problem with that.
AppleCare seems to have run out of additional troubleshooting suggestions. So unless YOU can think of something else, I'll have to send Scratch into the Apple Hospital.
