You say the touchpad feels warm when asleep. this would indicate that you
have the screen open when you put it to sleep (as opposed to closing the
lid). Is this the case?

Do you have an airport card? Is the iBook set to wake up if it detects an
incoming call or network activity?

I can't say for sure, but it may be possible that the AirPort card and/or
the modem continues to draw power even when asleep. They shouldn't of course
but perhaps something is causing them to remain active (ex: lid is open,
iBook is supposed to be asleep but modem is monitoring for incoming calls).

Seems like something similar has happened with other PowerBooks over the
years.

Just a few thoughts.
