Have you tried resetting PRAM?  My PB145 has that same hang and
occasionally the keyboard will disappear.  Plugging in a second keyboard
is sometimes sufficient to get around it, but eventually it refuses to
recognize it no matter what, and I just have to do a command-option-p-r
zap and redo all the settings that depend on it.  If I used it enough, I'd
probably DL techtool, zap it, change my settings, then store the PRAM
contents for later recovery....  I have no idea what causes the problem,
though.
