Subject: Re: re-awakening a Pismo?

My used Pismo came not able to wake up from sleep - ever!  I did quite a 
bit of research to try to solve the problem, and there seems to be many 
possible reasons and suggested solutions.

Mine turned out to be an extension problem. I believe it was Norton's 
"disk light" extension (whatever that's supposed to do). I can't be 
certain, as I disabled a few at the same time, but with the leaner 
extension set it hasn't occurred once! If you haven't done so yet, I'd 
suggest initialy seeing if it wakes after starting with a basic OS 
extension set. Simplest place to start.

Apple has some resources on this apparently common problem - you can 
find lots of info on other possible causes by doing a search on the 
Apple Discussion boards. Also:

Good luck! It's a frustrating problem. - Diane
