SR 2.2 MacBook Pro Won't Stay Asleep

[evilspoons]

I have a 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro (Santa Rosa) that has recently stopped sleeping correctly. I don't remember making any changes around the time it stopped working.

I put the computer to sleep via any method (lid, power button, system menu) and anywhere from two minutes to two seconds later, the computer wakes up on me.

I have tried resetting my NVRAM and SMC already.

System.log tells me the wakeup event is a usb connection or disconnection, but I have absolutely nothing plugged into my MBP except the power cable.

What the heck is going on here? It's driving me bonkers. If you can help me out I'll be extremely grateful.

EDIT: Someone on this forum said in another thread that he fixed this problem (EHC1/EHC2 wakeup) by deleting "the usb preferences file" - does anyone have any idea what this might be? I tried nuking all the plist files with 'usb' in the title but there was only one and it didn't fix anything.

System.log contents:

We have the same system.. but i've yet to experience any oddities, yet..

Anyway, the built-in iSight is connected to the logicboard via an internal USB connection, so are various internal other devices. It could be there's a loose connection inside the system that's causing it to wake up?

If it's under warranty you might like to get it checked an possibly service by apple for the once over?

Sometimes I like to put some soft music on and that helps my 2.2 SR sleep through the night.

Formatted and reinstalled 10.5 from scratch (the computer was originally upgraded from 10.4).

Same problem, different error message in system.log. Updated with 10.5.6 combo updater, now I get exactly the same error message again.

The part that confuses me is the EHCI isn't being used for any USB devices, as far as I can tell - all the internal USB devices seem to be attached via UHCI.

USB Prober shows absolutely nothing attached to 0xFA and that it is just a "simulation" device (i.e. not even real hardware!).

Could someone with a SR MacBook Pro send me the output of the IORegistry and Bus Probe pages from USB Prober for comparison?

I have tried waking the computer up by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, and using the remote; none of them generate wakeup events that match the one I am getting above, therefore it is not a stuck keyboard key or freaking-out IR receiver.

Bluetooth is off.


For some reason, plugging a 32 MB USB flash drive into the left USB port makes the computer sleep for much longer, possibly indefinitely - I left it for 40 minutes and it never woke itself up. This is not a solution, but seems like a good hint towards a fix...
