I disconnected mouse and ethernet cord, but no luck.
I'm also pretty sure that it's not the latch, because I had that recently repaired when I took it in for white spots; the entire LCD was replaced. Come to think of it--could that have something to do with my Powerbook insomnia?
Thanks for all the suggestions; I appreciate it.
I also have a Rev. A 15" Al Powerbook, and I had the same problem a while back. I also had an issue with the Scheduler in the Energy Saver pane. I would set it to shut off (like a sleep timer) every night at around 1am. At 2am, I would wake to find iTunes still playing away, so I would have to select Sleep from the Apple Menu. I called Apple, and they really didn't know what was wrong (they just told me to try the usual resetting of the PMU and PRAM). After awhile, I realized that the problem went away if I would turn off my Bluetooth mouse whenever I wanted my PB to sleep normally.
But, you said you don't have a BT mouse, and have already tried unplugging your USB mouse. I know this isn't helping much, but I also sent mine in for a compete replacement of the LCD and bezel. But, I think the sleep sensor is in the hinge, not the latch (someone else correct me if I'm wrong). Also, when your PB doesn't fall asleep, do you find it really hot to the touch? Mine would fry an egg if I closed the lid and forgot to turn off the BT mouse. (Note that I can leave the BT mouse on, and the PB sleeps fine if I always select Sleep from the Apple Menu).
So, as I said, not much help. I pretty much gave up trying to find out what's wrong - now I just plug my iPod into my stereo and use its own sleep timer (much more effective!). I've avoided the problem, but if you need another voice to yell at Apple, I'm happy to oblige.
