[Cube] No sleep (OS-X 10.3.5)... what can I do/where to search?

[Bill Fox]

It is possibly a recurrence of the Cube's original problem with the 
static power switch that Apple fixed with a thicker switch gasket. Two 
of my 3 Cubes eventually developed the problem though none had it 
initially. One can diagnose it by pulling the core and disconnecting 
power to the switch if one has an ADC display that can start the Cube. 
If that fixes the sudden shutdown or sudden startup problem, it's the 
switch/gasket.

Since my Cubes have ADC displays, I just left the switch disconnected 
since I don't think you can get the fatter gasket from Apple any 
longer. Other fixes include putting a piece of thick paper over the 
switch on the core before reinserting the core. That worked for me too 
but I decided not to leave the paper there adn disconnected the switch.
