Up until a couple of weeks ago closing the lid on my powerbook (15 alu) would put it to sleep inside a couple of seconds. Now however it seems to need about 20 seconds before it goes to sleep, the hd spins down and the the light starts pulsing. I don't know what has caused this but it's very annoying as I don't like moving until it's asleep.
Has anyone else got this problem, I can't immagine what has caused it?

take a look at activity monitor...there might be something running (an online app? or??) that is taking time to close before allowing your pb to sleep...

I don't see anything odd there but maybe I don't know what I am looking for.

I have a rev A 12"PB. I had the same problem back in December '03. The time that it took to go to sleep seemed to get longer and longer each time. I could solve my problem, though, by rebooting and everything was fine for about a week and the problem came back. So, I decided to live with it and the next time it took longer, i just ignored it. Then about 2 weeks later, the PB stopped staying asleep. I would put it to sleep and then it would wake itself in a matter of 30 sec or less. After a week, I called Apple and they sent a box. But, while waiting on the box, I got Panther and installed it and the problem went away. I have not had a problem with this baby since.
I would make sure to reboot maybe every week to see if you can replicate the problem. Then, try reinstalling your OS. Finally, call Apple.
