Computer does not wake up from suspend

Hi,
Lenovo 3000 V100 0763 - Windows Vista Business.
I have a very annoying problem:
putting the computer to sleep , or when closing the lid for sleep (the moon icon lits up)
and waking it after 10-15 seconds is ok.
But more than that , even for a couple of minutes the computer simply will not wake up , everything seem to load ok , but the screen stays black , and the computer is not responding , than I have to lose all my job and press 5 seconds on the off button to get it shutdown and than booted from scratch.
It happens on any installation of Vista, clean or Lenovo's original.
It happens on Windows XP too
I have tried to completely uninstall and reinstall the video driver , it will not help
The computer has the latest Bios , and the latest Lenovo drivers (which are mostly 2007 though)
Any expert help will be much appreciated. I am out of ideas.
Simply not feasable that a laptop will not be able to do such an elementary option :-(

Suggestion .. setup your signature .. Os & what your computer has on it .. It helps the solution..kinda like mine .. never too much info.
When the screen goes black, and touchpad has no life, Click "Fn" and then move your finger around on the touchpad .. works for me ..try that before you lightly press the power button ..
Right click the desktop, select properties, screen saver, power, select laptop, change the settings .. plugged - top left .. 30min, 1 hr, 3 hrs, 4 hrs hiber .. top right - on batts .. 10 min, 45 min, 2 hrs, 3 hrs hiber.. try my settings .. see if that works ..
Set a system restore before you start messing .. I turned stuff off stuff using .. start .. run .. type in msconfig, select start up tab, click off some you think might be ok to try .. kinda pot luck .. there might be some better postings ..after you reboot don't click save on changes untill you know things are working..
Re-imaging .. works good .. just backup what you want because it's gone afterwards.. if you send it in especially .. back it up!
Good Luck..

Computer does not wake up from stand by mode?

After leaving my mac alone, without doing anything for a while, the screen dims and eventually turns off (and it goes into standby mode, normally I presume). I think I have a screensaver set, but it never turns on and the screen is always black.
The serious problem comes when I try to wake the computer up. Jiggling the mouse, using the keyboard, and even pressing the power button do not usually invoke any response. The screen does not turn on unless I persist for 10 or more minutes in some situations. I have even unplugged, and plugged the computer back in with little or no results. Sometimes the screen will flash on for a second then turn off again. When I finally get it working it operates normally until the next time I need to wake it up. If I have any programs open before letting the computer fall asleep, then they are still open when I finally get the computer running (unless I unplugged it).
This is getting extremely annoying, and I can not seem to fix the problem. Do I have a virus? Is something malfunctioning? What can I do about this?
Getting a mac is seeming like a bad decision ...

This is absolutely not a virus, or any other kind of malware.
One thing to try is resetting the SMC.
If that doesn't work, it's possible that you have some bad software installed that is causing problems. Try restarting in safe mode, then leave the machine alone and let it go to sleep. Does the problem recur in that case, or does it go away? If it goes away, then returns as soon as you restart normally, it's a third-party software problem.

Computer does not wake up from sleep

I have my Macbook set up to prompt me for my password when I bring it out of sleep. Lately, however, it has woken to a black screen and does not bring up the prompt box for my password, leaving me unable to bring it out of sleep mode. I can usually fix this by restarting the computer manually, but it's still sort of troubling.
My computer has also been running warmer lately, even though I haven't been placing as much a load on its memory as usual. That, I haven't been able to solve--even reducing the number of applications keeps it running at a higher temperature than usual. Any suggestions?

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes drop down menu. Click twice on the CPU column header to display in descending order. You are looking for a process consuming a large amount of CPU time. This is generally the sign of a crashed process. Select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar then click on the Force Quit button. This should kill the runaway process.
Open the Console application and check for any entries that may indicate why the process crashed. Often it's caused by an application that is incompatible or by a corrupted preference or cache file.

After Thunderbolt Firmware upgrade display in target mode does not wake up from screensaver

Hi!
I have a MacBook Pro 2011 (Snow Leopard) connected to an iMac 2011 (Lion) via Thunderbolt. The iMac runs in display target mode.
Last night I update the Thunderbolt firmware on both systems via SW update. Now I have the problem, that the iMac display does not wake up from screensaver mode when I enter the password to unlock the MBP blind (the iMac screen is the main display).
I have to do cmd-F2 twice (do disable and enable) target display mode to get it back to life.
This worked fine before the Thunderbolt updates.
Does anybody else have that problem?
Thanks!
Hank

I have a 2.2Ghz Macbook Core 2 Duo system purchased in December 2007. I have 2GB RAM installed.
My system has developed a weird problem where it won't come out of sleep ... 100% of the time now.
I've tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, resetting the power module and even reinstalled Leopard. Nothing has helped. I'm at my wit's end.
When I put my system into sleep mode, it goes into sleep mode as you would expect. However, when I wake the system (by opening the lid or pressing any key), the system looks as though it's come out of sleep (ie. there's a picture of desktop) and I can move my mouse but I can't click anything. I can't Cmd-Opt-Esc either. I have to perform a hard-reset at that point.
I have quit all other applications to try to isolate the problem and I'm beginning to think it's either Leopard or my MacBook. Either way, it's annoying as **.
Has anyone come up with a way to fix this? Doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
Thanks,
Chris

After installing iCloud mac does not wake up from sleep

I have all of the necessary components and software for running iCloud however my computer will not wake up from sleep. I only get the gray sceen. Any ideas?????

You shouldn't need software (other than Lion).
I'd reboot it and see if that gets around the issue. It isn't supposed to do that.
Press and hold the power button until the Macbook reboots.

TS2972 my new computer does not show shared from my old computer. how long does this take??

My new computer does not show share from my old computer how long does this take?

I'm having the same problem. I have my main Library on a WXP machine and a new W7 laptop. My iphone 4 sees the library from the W7 machine, but neither the laptop nor the iphone see the big library on the WXP machine. I have configured firewall settings, tried the network wired and wireless, using same apple id on all devices, restarted itunes on all computers, turned sharing off and on on all computers. Nothing works.

Lenovo 11s- Screen Does Not Wake Up From Sleep

My Lenovo Yoga 11s does not wake up after putting it to sleep. I will press the power button multiple times, but the screen stays black. To turn it on I have to press the power button for 10 seconds so it completely shuts off, then I push the power button to turn it on. However when I do this all my tabs and windows are closed, which is very inconvenient.
Please help me find a solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DELL Inspiron N5110 does not Shut Down and does not wake up from Sleep

Hello.
I have Dell Inspiron N5110 which cannot shut down neither in Windows 7 nor in Ubuntu Linux. I specifically booted Ubuntu Live from the CD to eliminate the possibility that the problem is in the Windows 7. Shutdown in Ubuntu does not work either. This proves that the reason in not a BACKGROUND application in Windows that remains hanging and does not allow the laptop to shut down.
The laptop cannot wake up after Sleep or Hibernate either.
I have tried every solution that you advised to all the other people in the forum that have the same issue.
1. The laptop cannot shut down in Safe Mode either.
2. It cannot shut down even after Clean Boot Mode - all non-MS services disabled and all Startups disabled.
3. I tried changing the Advanced Power Options of "Allow Hybrid Sleep" - both ON for "On AC Power" and "Running on battery" - no change.
4. I tried installing the latest video drivers for Nvidia. This did not help either.
5. Running only on battery does not change anything - still cannot shutdown.
6. Running only on AC adapter without battery - still cannot shutdown.
7. I tried removing the AC adapter and battery and holding the POWER button for 30 seconds to RESET the laptop - did not work.
ATTENTION: I've been reading your forums all day and saw at least 10-15 reports of the same problem and not a single fixed case.
8. This is why I have not tried Flashing the BIOS to the latest version - I read other people tried that and it didn't work either.
9. I loaded BIOS default settings (F9) - still cannot shutdown.
REMARK: Changing something in the BIOS and trying to Exit once caused the laptop to freeze and I had to Power Off by holding the button for longer.
10. I ran DELL Diagnostics from Boot menu (F12 at startup) - no errors found.
11. I could not locate IEEE 1394 Adapter in Device Manager to change its Power Management settings.
Actually none of the suggestions you may give for changing something in Windows makes sense because I already mentioned that shut down in Ubuntu does not work either.
The issue seems to be either in the BIOS or a hardware problem. But which component? Is it the CD/DVD drive?
This is a new laptop.
Please advice how to proceed. If you know which component fails please tell me.

Remove the keyboard and palm rest (guide from dell shows you how) and you should see a small coin cell battery. Remove it for at least 10 seconds, then put it back in. Enter BIOS and make sure there isn't anything weird that was changed. It should work properly now. I have had this working in Ubuntu 12.04 for the last few days, with no problems.

23" Cinema Display (clear frame) does not 'wake up' from Sleep

A strange thing has been occurring in the last month or so. When my Mac Pro (OS 10.5.8) awakes from 'Sleep' mode the monitor does not come on. When I push the 'On' button in the lower right hand corner of the display frame the light comes on and then goes off when my finger pressure is removed.
The only 'fix' so far is to shut down the entire system for a minute or more by pressing the Mac Pro 'On/Off' button and then pressing the button to start up. And sometimes the display does not come one even then, necessitating several tries.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

New powerbook does not wake properly from sae sleep

Hi
Since the battery update my new powerbook is not waking correctly from safe sleep. The grey screen shows it "rebooting", and then the last screen I was on appears, but the machine does not respond to trackpad/keyboard input, nor does the clock update etc.
A friend has the same problem with his. Is this a common issue for people? Any ideas of how to resolve it?
This means it is it effectively impossible to calibrate the battery.
Many thanks
Rhys

I am having the same problem.
The battery runs low and eventually the PB puts itself to sleep.
I plug in the AC adapter then press the power button and it wakes up as normal (via Safe Sleep - white wash screen etc.)
But then once it has started it does not respond to anything on the trackpad or keyboard (even bluetooth keyboard). Only the power button works.
I have tried resetting the PMU but that has had no effect.
At the moment I just have to plug the PB in before it puts itself to sleep.

C310 Does not wake up from Energy Sleep mode

Printer wont wake up from Sleep mode. I have to unplug the printer from the electrical plug. Then it connects Wireless to my network. This Piece of {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} is about to find its way back to the store and I'm going to look at another brand. I have had HP for quite some time. I need Help and don't tell me to call Support unless you can give me someone in AMERICA that speaks english fluently

Me too, I have had the same problem. Numerous hours spent on the phone with HP Support. Tried sequence to get into special support mode but it didn't work. This is my second C310 that has had this problem. I returned my original new one that I bought on HP's shopper site when support determined it was bad. It had the same issue. The last call I made to support they told me just ot wait for new firmware that is supposed to fix this. The do not have any idea when this firmware might be ready. They said just to wait. I have used only HP printers for over 15 years because I believed they were the best printers. I have told several customers, friends, etc to buy only HP printerst, that they were the best. Not so sure I will think that anymore now. We'll see if we ever get that firmware and it works how I feel about HP printers. I really hope it works out but I am tired of waiting.

Powerbook 5,7 boots only after pmu reset, does not wake up from sleep

Hello,
my PB 5,7 wont boot normally. I got to reset the pmu every time i try to power on, even when i put it into sleep it will not wake up - only after the pmu reset.
What i tryed until now is:
reset pram, disconnect: HD, optical drive, PC Card, Soudboard, Airport, right USB board, left USB Flex cable, fans – no other reaction.
I changed: Topcase with keyboard, DC-IN board, power cables, batterie cable, RAM and right USB board with the pram batterie - every time it will only start with the pmu reset.
I installed a new tiger system and also a new leopard from orig. DVDs and updated both via Airport with the combo updates.
Now i dont have any further idea. Every help would be appreciated! Did i have overseen a crucial thing? Thank you all!
Must I replace the Logicboard?
Best regards
siebo

Hallo,
yes I run the AHT. There came no error message. For the AHT my Powerbooks seems totaly ok. And I also reset my Mac's PRAM and NVRAM without any results.
But thank you for your suggestions!

My Mac Mini does not wake up from sleep. What to do?

After my brand new Mac Mini goes to sleep (by timer or manually), my Apple monitor usually (but not always) refuses to wake from sleep. Sometimes I can get the display to return, sometimes not, but in either case there is no subsequent response to my bluetooth mouse or keyboard, and my only choice is to shut down with the power button.
(I know there have been other question on similar issues, but most are old, and recent ones do not seem to have been answered. At this point, on Apple's advice, I am about to return the computer, but was wondering if anyone has solved a similar problem)

Yes, you would be surprised as to what low voltage (brownouts) can do. The problem is, most people don't realise how dumb the power supplies in our computers are and how variable their electrical supply is.
To illustrate this, we used to have a light plugged into a power board which was powered by a 5 step line conditioner (basically a UPS without a battery) and you be amazed as to how low the voltage gets. When the nominal voltage was between 196 and 240V (the line did nothing at this point) the light was constant enough although once it went below 196V the line conditioner kicked in topping the voltage up to 240V all of a sudden the light output doubled. On a bad evening this would be flicking up and down all night. Can you imagine what this would be doing to a computer?
My recommendation for you and everyone else would be to buy a UPS regardless. For the small amount a UPS costs they're well worth the investment.
My current favourite are the APC Back-UPS RS series for important/sensitive equipment although these do cost a little more and the 1000/1500VA units are quite big (so check the dimensions carefully). I have a 1000VA unit for my desk, another for my plasma TV and home cinema equipment and an 800VA for my ADSL line and server. Additionally I use the APC Back-UPS ES 500VA units (they have a much more convenient standard power plug for appliances rather than a D type plug) for less important/sensitive equipment like the fax machine, laser printer etc.
