Hi
My Powerbook G4 goes to sleep when i press the chassis just above the powerbutton and sometimes when im writing and i hit the letters nearest that area. When it has gone to sleep the first time, then it just goes to sleep every time i wake it up. What could be the problem? Im sure its a hardware problem, but what inside the powerbook in that area of the chassis that could make it go to sleep?

you probably have a couple loose cables inside (just a guess) though really its hard to tell with out a full on diagnostic tear down. what model power book is it? titanium? aluminum? if its aluminum what screen size?
