Why my MacBook can not sleep?

When i close the lid, after 2 seconds the MacBook shuts down itself. Then when i open the lid, nothing happens. So i push the power button and i got a grey screen, then black screen, then the starting sound and finally a normal (??) boot. What can be?

When the battery is dead and the Book is put to sleep and the lid closed it will shut down. Go to Coconut battery and download and run the program. http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutba...

Tell us the battery status.

It's having a little problem finding the system folder. Insert the System Installation disk and start up holding down the "C" key. On the third screen a pull down menu will appear. Go to Utilities - Disk Utilities and verify the disk then run the disk repair.

Still got the same problem :(

This mac came originally with 10.5.2, and now im running the 10.6.2, should I downgrade the system and upgrade again?

Or a logic board issue probably?

I have found almost nothing on this issue. http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread...

The one fix I did see that worked was a clean install of the system. It's worth a try.

I would try resetting the PRAM, and then SMC before moving on to hardware issues ...

check this out for PRAM ... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

check this out for SMC ... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Let's see how that works to start ...
