Touch Pro suffering from "Sleep induced Coma"

[nixx911]

Greetings Gurus,

For two days now, I've been having a rather annoying issue with my Touch Pro, regardless of battery level (low, half, full...heck, even plugged in) every time the phone enters sleep mode (either automatically or by quick pressing the "power" button), the phone shuts down completely (turns "power off", no warnings, no "select menu"...it just faints!). A subsequent press of the power button (or slide of keyboard) boots the phone as if it had been intentionally powered off.

Original config was:
-Telus branded CDMA Touch Pro
-Untouched, completely stock, out of the box, ROM, Radio and SPL
-no added bells or whistles, no apps, no games...a virgin I tell ya!

Unsuccesful attempts to solve the problem:
-Fiddled with the powersavers (backlight, sleep timers)
-deactivated WiFi and BT
-Soft Reset
-Battery out + Reboot
-Hard Reset
-Loaded HSPL 0.37 succesffully (bootloader screen confirms)
-Ran Task 29 (the version that doens't wipe the splashscreen or the Radio)
-Loaded cooked ROM (Energy 29022) successfully (boots, loads, configures, able to make calls...nice job BTW), but as soon as it goes to sleep, aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!

I read a couple of posts regarding "Sleep Of Death", which I,m not sure applies here (as from my understanding, the SOD requires a "full" soft reset to "reboot"), mine doen't need a "reset button" to wake up, but merely a little punch of power button to boot as if nothing had ever happened, until it falls asleep again.

Kind regards!
