Sounds like a bad LCD inverter.

Do you have an external monitor that you can hook up to make sure it's really going to sleep and it's not just the LCD shutting off?

Inverter boards are cheap, ~$25-40 bucks on fleabay or one of the used Mac sales sites that also sell parts.

1/2 hour to swap out.

Have done a few, common problem on the last gen PPC laptops.

I have one acting as a media server in my downstairs entertainment room. Inverter is bad but does not matter since it's hooked to a 67 in TV screen.
