[P1] Not sleeping when closed

[Ed Wiser]

Sounds as if the sleep switch wire is broken or pinched this wire along 
with the airport antenna and backlight power wire go up through the 
right hinge of your LCD  display. They can become pinched with use. 
This is a very common problem with the dual USB models and latter model 
iBooks.  Fix is take it in and get the cable replaced or do it your 
self which is fairly complex.
