17" MBP - no screen ilumination when resuming from sleep

I've had the bug since installing the latest Lion update 10.7.3
I never shut down my 17" MBP, just close the lid and let it sleep, however, since the latest Lion update when I open the lip the screen illumination comes on briefly and then turns off - I then hit one of the screen brightness buttons (F1 & F2) and the screen illumination comes back on.
How do I go about correcting this ?
I've read that reseting the power controls could resolve this bug, but not sure how to perform the reset.

A printer that's not connected had a print jog in the queue.

Screen flickers when resuming from sleep mode

I have a newly brought T430 laptop with the Nvdia graphics card. Sometimes when I resume from sleep mode, the screen flickers before entering into the desktop view.
Is this a problem or normal? I hope nothing is wrong with my gpu. Is there a way to check?
Thanks!

It is definitely not a Leopard bug because it has been happening on every portable Mac I've ever had.
I don't agree. I had no problems at all with my MacBook Pro running Tiger. I initially did an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard and when the problems started I assumed it was a problem with the upgrade. I then completely erased and did a clean install of Leopard. The problem has actually gotten worse since I did the clean re-install.

As I mentioned in my opening post, I've gone through that song and dance more times than I can count. I've closed it, waited for as much as an hour, opened it back up...same problem. I've hard powered it down, closed it, disconnected the AC adapter, removed the battery, opened it, held down the power button for 15 seconds, re-installed the battery, reconnected the AC adapter, pushed the power button, and the display will still be dark. It's sometimes taken as many as 5 or 6 iterations of that process before it will finally reset whatever problem it was having and boot normally with a functioning display.

T510 Blank screen occasionally when resuming from sleep

I've been having a lot of trouble with my video driver recently on Windows 7 32-bit
Right now I have the NVS 3100M driver version 8.17.12.8562 installed.
When resuming, the screen will go bright pink for a moment then show the login screen,
but once in a while it will just remain blank. (Not on an external moniter, but the lappy itself)
A few BSODs once in a while that typically point to the nvlddmkm service
Any solutions or similar problems with these drivers?

Hello Nigel,
I suggest you, if you are able to login into Windows then please update your Graphics driver, Power Management and BIOS from the below mentioned web link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT063289
Please download and install the driver according to your Operating System and also check the release date of the driver. Alternatively please reinstall your Operating System. It might resolve the issue.
Regards,
Harish

A problem with a macbook retina when resuming from sleep.

After many questions and a complete reinstall at an apple store I stil have the problem. When resuming from sleep, and sometimes seemingly at random, the machine swaps to a different application. I run several desktops full screen and it will swap to a different desktop virtually every time I resume. Not a huge deal but annoying. It seemed to start happening when I installed Office for Mac, but that might just be coincidence. I'm not running anything weird in the background, just a utility to show when the graphics card is active. Any help would he greatly appreciated.

Running games at full resolution may produce occasionally-choppy video, but nothing that would prevent you from playing. I mayself have played Portal and Left 4 Dead 2 on mine, and I haven't noticed any problems.

Marching ants when resuming from sleep - software or hardware issue?

Hello -
My new T400 thinkpad works great except periodically when resuming from sleep mode, I get squiggly marching ant lines across the screen. I can continue to log-in, open apps, etc but the lines won't go away until I restart.
Does anyone have any idea whether this is a hardware or software issue? I'm running Win 7 Enterprise.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

This problem was fixed by disabling and then re-enabling the video driver. Updating the driver didn't work; it had to be diabled and re-enabled. According to the technician the marching ants were a result of an incorrect refresh rate (it was refreshing either too fast or two slow).
At least that took care of the issue on my T400. Hope it helps!

Minor lag from GUI when resume from sleep

Hey people!
I've been on archlinux for a couple of months now and I have fixed bugs here and there but something I have just noticed yesterday (it would happen before but I couldn't say when it would occur) is that after my system resume from sleep (it's not slow, it takes 1 or 2 secs) gnome GUI is a bit slow and it doesn't stop till I reboot my pc (it doesn't occur until my pc resumes from sleep).
It's not that bad but quite annoying. I don't really know how to approach that kind of problem. I think it would be related to something like "gnome is not completly reloaded when resume from sleep and there are some infinite loop going on"...
I hope someone has a clue in here!

hey, sorry to revive an old thread, but this was the only other person I could find with this issue.
I had originally reinstalled power manager and the the pm driver because it wouldn't save any custom power settings. When I finally got it working, it wouldnt wake up from sleep just like the above user's issue.
Machine is relatively new win7x64 install with all updates (lenovo updates too) installed.
Would like to avoid a total reinstall if at all possible.

X220 very slow reconnecting to WiFi when resuming from sleep

So my X220 with the Intel 6205 card is having issues reconnecting to WiFi when resuming from sleep or hibernation. It takes about a minute for it to do so, though occasionally it will reconnect right away. Maybe 1 out of 20. When doing a cold boot or restart, it connects immediately upon the desktop showing up.
This was not always the case, in fact when I first got my X220 in June, I have not had this issue.... In fact, I don't know when it started happening, but it was maybe a couple months ago. I just thought it was my old router going bad. Well I got a new router, and it still happens. I have the latest Intel WiFi drivers from Lenovo, and I even tried downgrading to the previous driver from Intel's site. Still the same problem. I tried setting a default profile in access connections, and that does not help. In fact, it behaves the same way if I totally uninstall access connections as well. In fact I tried this on three different brand routers, and I can reproduce it on all of them (Asus, Netgear & TP-Link) so I think this is not a router issue. Other devices in the house reconnect right away with no issues (iPhone 4, PS3, Mac desktop, Dell laptop).
I currently have BIOS 1.24, but this was happening with 1.21 and 1.23 as well. My X220 originally came with 1.16, and I haven't updated it until 1.21. Unfortunately I don't remember that far back, if the problem started occuring then.
There was a brief discussion about this in another thread, but it went nowhere so perhaps this will get more attention. At least one other user reported the same issue.
Here's a clip of exactly what happens. When i press the button or open the lid from sleep, the windows wifi icon will start spinning for a few seconds, then turn into an X. then only about a minute later, does it quickly connect to the wifi and I have full signal. Manually clicking on the icon and selecting the access point does not speed up the process. It will only connect when it wants to, about a minute after resuming from sleep/hibernation.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Normally when a laptop running windows tries to connect to a network, it may also seek to identify certain components on the network, for example, asking the router "Who are you?". In your case, maybe the config are corrupted because the network address entries are messed up. Queries send out to the network come back with no replies, and the computer waited for the default time till timeout and it gives up.

Airport Card turned off when resuming from sleep - New since 10.6.6

I use safe sleep regularly, as I use my laptop at both work and home. Ever since the update to 10.6.6 though, I have had to manually turn my Airport connection back on after resuming from sleep.
Previously, although it was unreliable about connecting to a preferred network (an unrelated, but equally frustrating issue*) at least it would remain on. Now I've had to add the icon to my Menu bar just so I don't have to dig into System Preferences every single time I reawaken my laptop.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and if there is anything I can do to prevent it? I apologize if this has been asked before, but when I searched I was unable to find anything.
*This issue is unrelated and not the focus of my post, but if you happen to know about it I would absolutely appreciate your input.
When resuming from sleep, despite being between 5-20 feet from my preferred router I will often receive a dialog asking me to select from a list of SSIDs and enter a password even though that information is already saved. Then, once I complete this information Airport doesn't actually connect and the only way to resolve the issue is to turn Airport off and then back on. After this, it will automatically connect with no problems and remain connected until I put the computer into Sleep mode again.

Maybe check in your keychain and verify the password saved is correct for your wireless router?
Do you broadcast the network name?
Could you describe "unreliable about connecting to a preferred network"?
Is "use secure virtual memory" checked in the Security preference pane? If so try unchecking that maybe? If it's a hibernation issue sometimes that could cause weirdness.

Kernel panic when resuming from sleep

I've been getting random kernel panics on my MacBook Pro when resuming from sleep. That is, only when resuming from sleep - otherwise the computer is fine.
I read some other discussions on here regarding kernel panics, but it seems that an inspection of the panic.log file usually uncovered a bad USB driver or something of that nature. I have no extra peripherals on my machine, and the panic.log is fairly vanilla. In fact, every entry in the log looks like this:

Yes, every log entry ends with that "invalid frame pointer 0xbffff358" bit.
The only thing I can surmise is that the memory (factory installed) is faulty, given that the frame pointer address is always the same.
Can anyone shed some light on this i.e. does this sound like I'm on the right track?

AH HA ! Then yes the combo updater is a good first step. It's not the same as applying all the smaller updates as they come out, using this ensures that every aspect of the OS is current. Before and after you use it, Repair Permissions ...

P35 - CPU fan reset when resumed from sleep

Hi,
I just got S3 sleep to work where it turns off all fans. The problem is that when it resumes from sleep, the CPU fan spins a lot faster than from boot. I've set it to run at 12,5 % as long as temps are under 65c. I'm guessing it runs at about 50 % when resuming from sleep. It does this until I restart the computer.
Tips?
/Edit; Just checked with SpeedFan, CPU fan normally runs at 1100 RPM, but after resume it runs at 1800 RPM. Any utility I can use that resets this to 1100 after resume?

I ended up disabling fan control in BIOS, so that SpeedFan would work in OS. This means that CPU fan runs at 100 % until OS and SpeedFan har loaded up. Tips to fix this through BIOS or whatever are welcome.

Crashes when resuming from sleep.

I just bought my macbook 6 days ago. Occasionally, upon opening the macbook it will not be resuming from sleep but the OS will actually be rebooting itself. This happens very infrequently. In the 6 days I've been using it (and I've been using it a lot) I've only noticed this happening twice. Though this is my first Mac, I am by no means a computer novice and I'm sure I'm not shutting down the OS, especially since I didn't have to press the power button to turn it back on. Is this something I should be concerned about? Or is it just one of those rare quirks I have to live with? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

It really shouldn't reeboot from scratch when just waking from sleep!
The only time it would, is if the battery power drained completely before re-charge (even while sleeping), or if it was actually shut down purposely/accidently.
Quick question: assume you are just closing your macbook to put to sleep? Not pressing pressing power button or selcting sleep in the finder? Although you can use both the latter, they do offer opportunity to shut down 'accidently'.
Only other though; Check the following: "System Preferences"/Energy Saver/Sleep-Schedule (=button bottom right) , here you can set scheduled start up and wake options... by default they would not be activated.
If all above is as suggested then I suspect a problem.

T61p: Vista - BSOD when resume from sleep / hibernate, casued by classpnp.sys

I've got a T61p (Type: 6457) with preinstalled Vista, later upgraded with SP1. Everything worked like a charm, untill a week or so, when the BSOD appeared when either resuming from sleep or hibernation.
I've checked the minidump, and it seems as the classpnp.sys is causing the trouble, however, I've yet not found a good solution to fix the problem (I'm close to doing a restore to factory install, but would like to avoid if possible
Anyone?

There's an issue with your GPU, video driver or both...try running this for a while:
http://freestone-group.com/video-card-stability-test.htm
If there's an underlying problem, this test will reveal it. And when I say "a while" I mean for an hour or more...
Please be advised that if your GPU is on its way out (I've had them fail on T60p due to VRAM corruption) this test might just finish it and push it over the edge. Proceed at your own risk.
Good luck.

Touchpad and trackpoint problems, especially when resuming from sleep

I am having persistent problems with the touchpad and trackpoint on my L530. I prefer to use the trackpoint usually, and found that the touchpad was super-sensitive and caused the cursor to jump around during normal (touch) typing so I disabled the touchpad. Next time the thinkpad resumed from sleep mode, the mouse was frozen. Nothing would reactivate it. I had to switch user, which temporarily fixed it, and then reactivate the touchpad.
If I try and change trackpad settings at any time other than directly after a reboot, the settings are greyed-out and I can't touch them. Right now, both trackpad and trackpoint are completely dead again, but I've plugged in a USB mouse and that seems to be working, so I've given up fiddling with it. This will be a pain when I'm moving around with the laptop though!
The OS is Windows 7. Yesterday I went looking for the most recent driver, uninstalled the existing one (as per guidance) and installed the new driver. No luck.
I've heard this is a common problem and apparently installing a generic driver works, but I'm not completely sure what to use. Anyone know?
Oh, and I'm not sure if this is related, but quite often when I resume from sleep mode the keyboard is also dead. However, if I switch user it comes back to life. So annoying but not the end of the world.

Thanks for posting this information in this forum. You just saved me a couple thousand dollars!
Based on my experience if you want to get this problem fixed as soon as possible you need to do the following:
1. www.apple.com/feedback
2. Post a video of the problem on www.youtube.com
3. Send www.apple.com/feedback a link to the video on youtube.
4. Encourage others to visit your youtube video and to post their own.
Good luck!

T61 - WWAN does not connect when resuming from sleep mode

Hi.
I have a T61 with integrated WWAN, which works perfectly - except I use sleep mode a lot, and when i resume from sleep mode, WWAN doesn't connect, I always get the same error - IP configuration failed. If I restart my OS, WWAN works normally again.
So far i have tried on Windows XP, Vista 32, Vista 64 and Windows 7 32 bit - always the same!
I connect via Access Connections, maybe there is a known issue?
Thank you, B

This bugs me as well. With the new Verizon software I just installed, it says "Adapter Disabled" when I resume from sleep.
I suspect a driver bug that needs to be adressed.
I use Vista Business 32bit, but had the same problem with XP.

Access Violation in aapltp.sys when resuming from sleep.

Hello,
*I have diagnosed an issue in the aapltp.sys (touch pad) driver included with the MacOS 10.6.2 DVD. This issue causes a illegal access to be performed by this driver when the computer resumes from sleep (I have never reproduced it when resuming from hibernate or during normal operation). This issue occurs about once in every 10 resume operations, with both Windows 7 and Windows Vista. I have not experimented other versions of the OS.*
*The version of this driver included with 10.5.x DVD does not have this issue - this is a new regression.*
*In summary, KeyMagic (another apple driver) running on a system thread calls the OS for a dispatch (FxDevice::Dispatch). This ends up being routed to aapltp. While executing, aapltp dereferences a memory position offseted from a register that contains NULL. This causes an Access Violation which escalates into a BugCheck.*
*AFAIK Apple does not distribute driver symbols so I was unable to dig into the cause for the fault in this driver. I am appending some additional crashdump information that might be useful. If you require additional information, let me know. I can either provide you with the full crashdump of perform further analysis if you make the symbols available.*
