I'm following this thread because I have the same occasional problem with a 500 Mhz TiBook. Opening the lid fails to wake the laptop; instead, the breathing sleep lamp goes out, and the screen never comes to light.

I have tried resetting both the PRAM and whatever the little button under the keyboard resets and letting the battery drain down and recharge. None of these things have solved the problem. When it happens I have to shut down and restart the computer.
Which version of the OS?

My problem exactly. I am running 10.3.7. How about you?

There was a lot of discussion of this issue at macfixit.com. There were many workarounds suggested.
One was that no FW or USB device should be connected or disconnected during sleep. They also reported that some users had to disconnect all peripheral devices before putting the machine to sleep.
There was also report that the problem did not occur when the menu command was used to sleep the computer (rather than closing the lid).
Reinstalling the OS was "perhaps: the most consistent;y successful solution.
There are pages of info on this issue at macfixit, but, unfortunately, they are old enough to be available only to subscribers. You might try doing a search of the macfixit forums.

I only seem to have problems if I shut the lid. I almost always use the menu to sleep the computer. If I leave the lid open I am okay. If I shut the lid it will sleep normally until I try to wake it up. I am neither connecting nor disconnecting anything while sleeping.

this has made no difference to me. It's happened when I've been mobile; it's happened when the machine was in the dock with PCMIA SCSI card, firewire, and USB all tethered.
There was also report that the problem did not occur when the menu command was used to sleep the computer (rather than closing the lid).
Never have slept the machine with the menu command.

Sigh.

Yes, in the macfixit.com series, this seems to be the most common situation. There was one suggestion that the problem may be fixed for some users if they make sure the lid is latched firmly, wait for sleep, then reopen. For some, the PB was then OK.

Referring to the machine failing to wake after the lid has been shut, I have tried all manner of things, including being very sure the lid is latched and the little light is pulsing. As long as the lid is shut it seems to be OK. As soon as the lid is opened, everything goes dark.
I have taken to leaving the lid open when sleeping and only shutting it after I shutdown the computer.
