Lenovo n200 - problems resuming from sleep on Win7

Ok, so I have a 3000 series n200(the so-called ValueLine nowadays), and I just installed Win7. All good til now. Just that when I resume my laptop from sleep, the screen won't light up. All the other functions seem to start pretty good, but not the display, it remains black, no change. And I don't know for sure if it's sleep or hibernate, just that I'm pressing the power button, so this must mean sleep.
Oh, and another thing, I cannot find the correct and up-to-date drivers and software for the fingerprint reader on this model for Win7.
Anybody got any ideas about these 2 issues? Many thx in advance, guys!

I had that problem on two Lenovo laptops - R500 and now T500, but I only have it when the system goes to sleep because of inactivity, when it goes to sleep on-demand everything works. Both laptops have ATI 3xxx gfx cards and I suspect that that has something to do with it. The solution that works for me is whenever it resumes from sleep with a black screen I wait for it to fully start (about 3-5 secs), then hit Fn+F4 to put it to sleep on-demand and then wake it up again via the power button. It's a long way around but it saves me from rebooting.
Regarding the fingerprint reader, I don't know what hardware does your laptop have, but if it is AuthenTec AES 2810 you can download W7 driver from http://www.authentec.com/win7beta32.cfm. It works great and uses Windows 7 integrated Biometrics platform instead of the ThinkVantage kludge. If you have 64bit windows just replace 32 with 64 in the link URL.

T60 Type 2623 Blue Screen on Resume from Sleep Mode problem solved - XP Pro

I hope that this post ends some frustrations for some people.
I hope that IBM deals with this issue by getting ATI to fix the video driver issue.
After three months of tracking down blue screens when resuming from Sleep Mode and some lockups while working, I have identified the problem on my T60 Type 2623 running Windows XP-Pro and all service packs and updates. The Sleep Mode resume issues were intermittant and it would be fine for a day or two and then reboot on Resume or reboot every time I used Resume for a while. For months the Blue Screen would reboot and attempt to send the message to Microsoft using the logs, but the logs were always corrupted. I disabled every driver that I could and the problem continued for months.
The problem solution came about when I decided to try my Rhapsody Music account after many months of not using it. I kept getting a message about DRM (Digital Right Management) being disabled and Rhapsody software could not self-fix this. So I finally called Rhapsody and they spent over an hour with me trying to get Rhapsody to work. The support person asked me about my computer and I noted that it was an IBM T60. He then asked about my Video Card and I responded that it was an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300. After a few minutes on hold he asked about my driver version which was 8.442.3-080103a1-057754C the set from January 31, 2008. He noted that there is a known problem wit the 8.4 driver and it interferes with DRM. He had me go to control panel Settings and Hardware and then roll-back the driver to the prior version.
After a reboot, the DRM issue was solved and I soon discovered that my resume from Sleep mode no longer crashed. In fact it has been fine and crash free for over a month now. I have noted that the older driver can sometimes resize my screen to something like 600 X 800 if I close the lid under certain circumstances, but that is just a function key reset to get my normal desktop resolution back. At least it is not a blue screen reboot with a corrupted log file.

Resume From Sleep Login UI Problem

I'll keep this short and sharp.
Previously, when I would resume my mac from sleep, it would make the screen look similar to the normal login screen. With things spread out and nicly formatted. With the menu bar showing the essentials like network, time, and battery in the upper left.
Now, when I resume from sleep a small window appears telling me I need to enter my password to "unlock the screen".
What would cause this? Any applications that I might have installed without being aware?
I have restarted 2/3 times, and I will continue to do so for a short while more, in the hope that it can help me.
Oh. This is after resuming from sleep only. When I get to the normal login screen after turning it on, it's fine, and just as normal.
Thanks in advance!

~After (today) after multiple restarts

Hi buddy,
Its really hard to say something about this I can only say that I cant notice this problem on my Windows installation.
By the way: Do you use the Windows version from Toshiba or your own Windows installation?
Theoretically it could be a problem of your Windows installation or HDD itself Are you able to test another HDD or Windows installation that you can make sure its not a software problem?

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.

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!

GTX660 Twin Frozr 3 OC and resume from sleep problem

Hi,
My 660 twin frozr performs perfectly in game/bench and standard operation but I get consistent error messages when resuming from sleep 'hybrid, S3).
Messages are : either "the graphic driver did not respond and has recovered" or a BSOD "driver verifier has detected violation" or "DPC watchdog violation"
My system :
-Windows 8 64bits
-MSI 660 TF3 OC at stock speed
-MB: Gigabyte H77N WiFi, BIOS F2 then F3C
-i5 3470 at stock speed
-RAM: 2x4GB Crucial ballistic tactical low profile 12800 (XMP profile 1 at 1600MHz 1.35V), OK for hours at memtest86
-PSU: Seasonic G-360. 360W seem low power but 12V single rail is 30A and it powers my system at full load flawlessly (OCCT, game, unigine bench and so on)
What I have tried :
-reinstall windows 8, MB drivers (chipset, WiFi...)
-updated the bios from F2 to latest (but beta) F3C
-nvidia 310.90whql, then 314.07whql (using driver fusion for cleaning)
The resume from sleep issue is still there
Then I tried:
-the 660 TF in a old core2duo with a MSI P35neo MB and vista 32bits. It resumes with the notification "the driver did not respond and has recovered successfully. nvlddmkm..." No BSOD but got this notification each time
-then I tried the old ATI HD4670 in my new PC and the resume/sleep works like a charm.

OK, I had to make a bootable USB drive with DOS because nvflash is not 64bits compatible.

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.

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.
Try this one at a time, reboot, or try all at once and reboot

X120E Touchpad inoperable after resuming from sleep

hello friends I'm a happy X120E user and a tech [pc's, mac's, lans, etc] - I do all sorts of tasks with my x120e and its been great. I recently "upgraded" my SSD so a fresh new install of Windows 7 was in order. After updating everything I have a problem I did not experience previously at all - not once in 3 years of use.
Upon resuming from sleep [and as far as I can remember this only occurs when resuming on battery], the touchpad/cursor is inoperable, frozen in the centered position, and I have found no way to 'wake' it. I finally have to shutdown/restart to get things functioning again. Keyboard works fine, but not touchpad or trackpoint [either/both].
maddeningly, its not consistent in this. sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
I have seen the same issue with, and without, the supplied Lenovo Ultranav driver installed.
Question: in the X120E implementation, is the touchpad a PCI bus device or a USB device? I see no power plan options [i.e. "Advanced" >"Allow this device to wake the computer"] available via Device properties. There are no pointer/mouse/touchpad options whatsoever under Power Plan Settings.
Will Fn+F8 enable/disable the touchpad on this notebook? or,... should it?

No. Powering off and on again didn't work. My drive is a Seagate 750GB internal SATA drive in a Vantec NexStar-3 external enclosure. I don't think it is a driver issue. After the device removal error it won't mount on my PC or my Mac via FireWire or USB.
What I need to know is if there is some way to connect to the drive and make it mount with other software, using some kind of keystroke during startup, or maybe through terminal or something. I can't even try to repair the drive because it won't show up in disk utility.

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.

Ethernet not connecting when resuming from sleep/hibernate

I use my mac (Win7) in clamshell mode quite often, and I leave the cables connected (ethernet, power, display, etc). I have noticed since installing the 3.0 Boot Camp drivers that the ethernet connection is not recognized after resuming from sleep/hibernate. I need to disconnect the cable and re-plug it in for the system to recognize the network. Anyone else seeing this?

Look through Power Options for sleep and network. There should be sleep, low power, etc. And if possible, maybe you can manually update drivers from the vendor (not Apple). And if Windows or your update doesn't work as well, then you can just as easy use Device Manager and "rollback" the last driver upgrade - a great feature. Also, use those Create/Restore Check Points.
I use to have trouble, got tired of having this issue, and bought a new modem to replace my 5 yr old model. Problem gone. Same can happen regarding routers, sometimes a firmware update, but I had one router that had been superceeded by 4th generation and no firmware patch anymore.

X230 hangs when resuming from sleep/hibernate

Sometimes my x230 becomes unresponsive after resuming from sleep/hibernate.
The "system" process would take up one core (25%) and the hard disk activity light would stay on all the time. I could switch between applications that were already started, but I couldn't start any new applications, and giving the currently running applications any keyboard or mouse input, would put them in the "not responding" state.
The only way I found to get out of this state is to do a cold shut-down... holding on the power button for 5 sec.
This hang would happen quite often... about 3-4 out of 10 resumes... very annoying that I would lose the state of all my open applications.
I did a system update to the latest driver versions, including a bios update. That seemed to fix the problem... at least for a while... Then it started happening again, althouh less frequently... but it still happens.
Any ideas?
thanks

hi Vicentiu,
Thanks for posting your result. Based from your results, its great to hear that performance of your machine has improved quite a bit. Although that was not what we were look for
Anyhow, in this case could you possibly update the "Intel Management Engine" as there a case i worked with not long ago on an x220 which had similar porblems. By updating the BIOS and Intel Management Firmware did the trick.
It worth the try though. The link for the update can be found below.

Do let me know how it goes.

Bluetooth OFF after restart / resume from sleep

Hi, i have problem with integrated Bluetooth in my T400s. If i start Windows from off state, BT is on and my BT mouse is connected correclty. But if i restart or go to sleep mode and back resume from sleep, BT stays OFF and i have to switch it on via Fn+F5. I tried to reinstall clean Windows 7 with all drivers through Lenovo System Update, but no solution. Does somebody have the same problem? Any idea?

Unbelivable, crazy things happens. You are right, problem is solved.
1 - 2 weeks ago i tried Ubuntu, not installed, just run from USB flash and look how new one looks like
2 - probably from that time integrated BT did not start after restart or resume from sleep - really strange (i have WWAn as well but i do not use it)
3 - i tried to disable I/O Access for all devices in BIOS and set back On - that did not help
4 - i have loaded default setting in BIOS by F9 and saved and after restart BINGO BT mobule works even after restart or after resume from Sleep.
It is really strange for me, but yeahh, crazy things happend.

Black screen on resume from sleep using open source AMD/ATI driver

When waking from sleep using systemctl suspend or pm-suspend , I am presented with a black screen. I can still open programs, type, etc. but cannot see what I am doing. I usually just wind up rebooting from whatever terminal I had open, but again I can't see what I am typing. Upon reboot, the screen starts back up again. Everything else seems to resume from sleep just fine, it's just the screen that won't turn back on.
I came from Ubuntu and had this same problem there. However, I only had this problem when using the open source xf86-video driver; when using the proprietary drivers, I was able to suspend/resume just fine. So it seems this problem is specific to the open source drivers.
If I'm using an external monitor, my external monitor will resume just fine after waking from sleep, but the laptop screen will not.
Googling around shows this is a common problem with AMD/ATI cards, and after a lot of attempts and failures I'm interested in knowing if anyone else has solved this problem.
What I've tried so far (without success):
-various quirks included with pm-utils to turn on dpms after resume
-xrandr after resumption from sleep
==xrandr --output LVDS --off (If used without suspending (so while the screen still works) this seems to crash Gnome the first time around, but Gnome automatically restarts. If used a second time, it completely blanks the screen and requires a reboot)
==xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1600x900
-xset dpms force on or xset dpms force off after resumption from sleep
-vbetool dpms off and vbetool dpms on results in error message "Real mode call failed"
-scripts using vbetool or xrandr when resuming from sleep
-switching between virtual consoles and gnome using alt-ctrl-fn-f1 and alt-ctrl-fn-f2 keys
My setup:
-HP Envy dv7
-UEFI dual-boot with Windows 8
-AMD Radeon HD 7640G
-xf86-video-ati 1:7.2.0-1 driver
-Gnome DE using GDM login manager
Thank you.
EDIT: I did try using the proprietary drivers for a time, but found I couldn't adjust my brightness. At first I thought working suspension > adjustable brightness, but I quickly changed my mind after one night of trying to work on an unadjustable maximally bright screen.

T410 cannot resume from sleep

I recently purchased a refurbished ThinkPad T410, and installed my own copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit onto the machine. I used the System Update utility to download and install all of the updated drivers, and I have also installed all of the necessary Windows updates.
When the machine is put into sleep mode (either from the start menu, the keyboard shortcut, or by closing the lid), the power button will pulse and the external sleep indicator will light up. However, when I press the power button to wake the machine up, it seems to get itself stuck in a loop. The HDD will begin to spin, some lights will flash (the overhead LED being one of them), but the screen never turns on, and the machine must be rebooted by holding the power button.
My machine does not have the fingerprint reader, which seems to be the cause of this problem on other T-series models.
I have also installed the most recent driver for the Intel Management Engine Interface, another proposed fix for this issue.

Hi Acuppa,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with system not resuming from sleep on your ThinkPad T410.
Have you checked with uninstalling and reinstalling Graphic adapter, Lenovo power manager and Lenovo power management?
Suggest you to download the drivers manually from support site, use MTM (Machine Type Model) number to download drivers.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar
