Hi,

I have bought a Powerbook some 7 months ago and never regretted it, even
bought a G5 now ;-)

However on the Powerbook something strange happens, every time I close the
lid it behaves as it should, like you see the hart beat light, and when I
reopen it I am good to go again
But recently, after an unspecific time it shuts itself down completely.
Still I see the heart beat, but when I open it nothing happens, even hart
beat disappears. Only thing I can do is to boot it
This happens both on battery as well as on ac power

Powersettings in systempreferences are all set that it should never shut
down

What am I missing

Thanks

Pim

Are you sure it's not just going to sleep? In other words, when you lift
the lid, do you then hit the space bar (which would wake it up if it were
sleeping)...

Also, what's the battery condition like when this happens?

Try tapping the space bar to see if it wakes up.

Wasn't that addressed by 10.3.8?
