Lenovo SL510 suspend (S3 sleep) is not working

Hi all,
I bought a new Lenovo SL510 with T5870 2GHz CPU, 250GB HDD, no OS, (part No. NSLQ7MC). Installation of Ubuntu Karmic 32bit was without any problems, but I didn't get the suspend working. Hibernation works fine.
When I click sleep button (or echo -n mem > /sys/power/state), the screen backlight goes off, but graphics on LCD is still visible, after 10s fan goes to max and sleep LED is blinking wild. No further reaction to power button. Of course, poweroff works, when I hold for more then 2 sec. I suppose the sleep routine somehow hangs forever.
btw. I also tried with 32bit Suse Live CD, BIOS upgrade and 2.6.32 kernel, all with the same result.
Did someone get the sleep mode working on SL510?
Do you have 32 or 64bit Linux?
What is your SL510 hardware model?
Many thanks for your help, regards Petr

Bump
Any news on that issue??? I still haven't find any information on how to solve that

[SOLVED] Suspend to ram / disk not working in newer kernels

Hi all,
this puzzles me for a while:
My desktop system was able to suspend to ram / disk flawlessly in older kernels. It stopped working with 3.3. The suspend seems to work, the machine goes to standby. But when I try to resume, the machines is on but the screen stays black. Neither the console is working nor can I ssh into it. Only hard reset gets me out here
I did investigate and found many tips and hints which all led to nowhere. I even changed my filesystem back from btrfs to ext4 and my VGA module from proprietary nvidia to nouveau.
When this all failed I got to the idea to burn several install disks. One of the official 2011.08.19 (kernel 3.0.3) and one of the snapshots 2012.06.05_04-00-01 (kernel 3.3.7) and 2012.07.17_04-00-01 (kernel 3.4.4). I guess these can not be compromised by some hosed installation. I started one by one and issued the follwing command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
which suspends the machine successfully in all three cases. With 2011.08.19 the resume is working but the other two fail. Some more info about the hardware:

Another life-sign. The issue is still unsolved but I've come a little further. It seems to be a combination of more failures. The first one is USB hardware. I have a usb keyboard-mouse combo from Logitech (comfort cordless desktop). The USB bus does not wake up correctly when resuming from suspend. So my keyboard is unsuable. I put in a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd with the following content:
BUSES="0000:00:1a.7 0000:00:1d.7"
case "${1}" in
hibernate|suspend)
# Switch USB buses off
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
done
resume|thaw)
# Switch USB buses back on
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
done
esac
The bus IDs were taken from /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
When I start pm-suspend from a console (no X started) this seems to reanimate my keyboard while the screen stays black (with backlight on). I can type and reboot. Also I can ssh into the machine from my laptop.
Concerning the blank screen there seems to be a bug in both the proprietary nvidia modules as well as the nouveau driver. The nvidia folks have issued a new beta driver which seems to at least minimize the failures. This all concerns the nv50-family of nvidias cards. I have a GF8600GT which is one of these
I'll wait for this driver and then restart my testing. Until then - no suspend/hibernate
EDIT: Today's nvidia 304.32 is solving my issues - I can sleep again

Sleep Button Not Working on iPhone 5

Sleep button not working .. Advice on what Else I should do?
I've already turned it off & turned it on, & rebooted it.
I've had my phone since October and this is the first time it's done this

Morning AskVictoria95,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Installing the latest version of iOS may resolve the issue.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
Try to lock or unlock the phone.

I purchased I phone 5 from USA covered under Apple care . I'm in India now. Wake/sleep button not working. Apple care here have refused to replace or repair it though it is still under international warranty. Feeling harassed. Can some one help.

I purchased I phone 5 from USA covered under Apple care . I'm in India now. Wake/sleep button not working. Apple care here have refused to replace or repair it though it is still under international warranty. Feeling harassed. Can some one help.

Is there an "APPLE STORE" in India or you just went in a reseller store?
There is a replacement program for sleep/wake button for free. Just look for an Apple Store and make a reservation at Genius Bar.
I have an iPhone 5, bought in Dubai U.A.E.
It is a US model (model A1428) which is different of the model use here in Italy/Europe
My serial number is qualified for battery replacement program.
I thought the Apple Store wouldn't repair my phone because I bought it from another country , a different model and it is already out of warranty.
The Apple store's staff just checked if my iPhone's serial number is eligible for the program and he replaced the battery for free today.

Lenovo S8-50LC Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G)

Hi
Tablet Lenovo S8-50LC
Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G).
What is the solution for this problem?
Build Number : TABS8-50LC_S000200_150121_ROW
SoftWarw Version : TABS8-50LC_150121

Right, but if you have the SIM in the tablet and you put the tablet in airplane mode, does wifi work then? If so, it may be a bad SIM. Do you have another SIM you can try?

Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore

Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore?

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn OFF iPhone. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.

Lenovo Thinkpad Edge S430 SSD cache not working???

Hi guys,
I just got my S430 a couple of days ago. Installed Windows 8 x64 (RTM).
Everything was working ok. More or less. But now SSD cache just "dissapeared". Whenever I try to initialize it from the computer manager it throws a I/O error, and the installer cannot identify the SSD.
Ideas? Is it dead? (within a week of buying it!!! )
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

Thanks for your reply, lead_org. My apologies, I didn't see the reply before.
Is not the mSATA port, but the mSATA SSD. It's being detected, both in W7 and W8, both in this machine and in a Lenovo E420s. But it's not working at all (I/O error, yada yada).
Thing is, to ask for the warranty, Lenovo wants me to send the whole notebook. And I need it to work, so it's a no-go.
I guess I just lost 35 bucks of the mSATA SSD cost. :@
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

After ram upgrade automatic sleep is not working anymore

Some days ago I installed a second 1GB ram module in my 20" Intel iMac. After this I noticed that the automatic sleep do not work anymore. The display turns off but the iMac not. The iMac makes sounds like he wants to do to sleep but could not.
I tried everything I could find... delete OS X powermanagement prefs, run Onyx, reset the SMC.
Do anyone have an solution for this?
Thanks

Does your iMac recognize the new memory module?
Yes.
You might try reseating the module in its slot, and it
would not be a bad idea to run Hardware Test from
your install/restore DVD, just to be sure there is
not an underlying hardware problem.
Already done - no problems reported
Is your new memory module of the same specifications as the
stock module?
Yes it is the same, I had a look on this before I bought it because I wanted to use the dual-channel mode.
Also, what are your settings for sleeping your iMac?
5 min to sleep display, 10 min to sleep the mac
One other thing you may wish to
try is updating your system of OS X 10.4.6 (your
profile indicates that your a running 10.4.5).
Was updated to 10.4.6. I just forget to change the forums pref
I more thing to mention when I start the sleep mode manually everything is fine. I also tried to disconnect all external USB/Firewire hardware and tried it with a fresh mac os install on my USB HDD.
Nothing helped.
Thanks

[SOLVED} Suspend to ram does not work (with sleep, s2ram, pm-utils)

Hi.
I would like to ask for one thing: i can't suspend to ram or resume from suspend to ram.
I treid to check over www in order to find some help, some solutions, and how to fix that. Unfortunately, i found these:

In fact, when i was researching of this problem i wanted to check if my graphic card and memory are failing so a did few changes (removed memory stick and so one) but in doing this i removed almost all of my hard disk drives because i didn't want to hurt them with many reboots or resets.
What did i find? It is strange, kernel version is not important because i checked most of them.
I removed 2x2TB Seagate F14 series along with 4x3TB WD Green. Then i checked s2ram, it went to suspend, and resumes correctly. Everything works. I put it to sleep with s2ram -f -a 1. Works
I attached my 4x3TB WD Green drives. I put computer to sleep with s2ram...it causes hard lock, black screen, i could do only poweroff by powerbutton. s2ram -f -a 1 causes freez. Sometimes, but not constantly, s2ram -f -a 3 -p is being able to suspend...(mostly it does a freez, hard lock computer) but sometimes it is able to put it to a sleep, but resume just freezes everyting - no blinking cursor, no blinking num lock led and so on.
I know that you would suggest me to check logs - this is the main problem. Logs for pm-suspend works when i suspend or resume without WD drives attached. When i have them connected, i'm not able to check pm-logs because computer hangs, freezes and logs are not being stored/writed to pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
Could somebody help? Point me to a solution? I can't check logs because there are not any when freezing occurs. I checked openSuse thread and many others and for other systems there were some kernel fixex, patches.
They wrote that WD blacks are at fault because they don't have APM. Well, in fact my WD Green have APM with very aggresive factory settings: they park heads over 8 seconds not being used. I disabled it in firmware but disabling it is not the point and not the problem. People have the same problem even with APM and parking heads on other WD drives, i found it that some have it with WD Red's drives and even with very old 320GB WD Blue series - what is more funny, i have 640GB AAKS blue from WD and with this drive i can suspend or resume - APM on this drive is also unavilable, like in Green series because i changed it with wdidle with prebootable cd. I can't supend or resume with 3TB WD Greens.
BTW - suspend to disk, with pm-utils and uswsusp works ok, in 100% every time. (i had to add "shutdown method = shutdown" to /etc/suspend.conf from uswsusp package).
On Windows machine it works. Can suspend, can resume, can hibernate.

Hm, sometimes i found myself astonished because some things just does not work at all on one machine, while the other one has no problem at all. I was trying to find why suspend to ram won't work at all...and while i was searching i found one topic that was leading to upower dbus. Similar problem with upower i found, by coincidence, on Manjaro forum.
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
this command above returns all the time:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Suspend" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.UPower" doesn't exist
I tried this:
sudo systemctl enable acpid.service
sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
As soon as i enabled and started acpid.service...my supend to ram, from kde, works like a charm, without graphic problem, or freezing.
There is few question: why on my desktop suspend doesen't work out of the box, when even archwiki says it should? Why on my netbook machine (Acer AOD270) that has the same package installed it works out of the box? Why on my desktop machine acpid.service was not enabled, was not started and was not running while on the notebook it does?
Anyway...i fixed it by a big coincidence because on Fedora forum somebody has problem with suspend to ram with nvidia GTX750 and this card was new like my card (GTX660). He posted the same problem with upower that i posted in quotes and because of this i found another thing on Manjaro forum and that was it!
BTW - this problem, i now think, is not related to my WD drives because it works with them. I think that there was another one ugly thing that broke my suspend to ram ability - bios of my motherboard (so called uefi bios with support for old one) has no option for S1-S5 stated (like the previous motherboards had) and only have ASPM...and ASPM is in my opinion broken but i will try to veryfi it one again later.

Lenovo V570 Laptop Power Button does not work. Did I screw it up?

Hi, my Lenovo V570 keyboard recently stopped working so I took the keyboard off to reposition the cable. In the process I disconnected another cable on the motherboard (shown in the pictures below). I also cant find the black plastic piece that was holding it down.
Now not only does the keyboard not work but the power button does nothing. After research though Ifound out this laptop is notorius for having the power button go bad.
When I plug in the AC adapter I do see the battery light go on and it charges so I dont think the motherboard is bad. I
have tried every trick in the book as far as getting static out of the laptop power button (holding down power button for
certain times). I looked at the mainteneance manual for this laptop and could not figure out what the disconnected cable does. I have tried reconnecting the cable without the plastic piece but that did not work.
Is the disconnected cable responsible for this or should I order a new power button board with cable?

Hi Deziant,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with power button not working in your V570 laptop.
As per the snap shot which you have shared it looks like the black support connector is broken, you can fix this cable by using a gum, but I would suggest you to visit nearest service center to fix this issue.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

Bonjour sleep proxy not working; Mountain Lion (10.8.1, 10.8.2) not waking up for remote management, itunes library

Since updating to 10.8.1 (I'm currently on 10.8.2), my Mac Mini no longer wakes for network access.
That is, when I attempt to connect remotely to the computer (i.e., mac mini is at home, I am at work), the computer never wakes up.
I have an Airport Extreme 2011, I believe; I updated it to the latest firmware a week or two ago. (Now that I think about it, maybe it was after this firmware update that the Bonjour sleep prox stopped working?)
Ideas?
My system:
Mac Mini (2011) with 8gb RAM
[added 2nd hard drive -- SSD]
Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Connected via ethernet cable to an Airport Exreme (2011)

Since upgrading to 10.8.2 I have had this issue.
I have 'Wake for Network Access' enabled but I am unable to wake my Mac Pro from my AppleTV2 using Home Sharing.
If I reset the PRAM, WOL works the first time the Mac goes to sleep but after that it wont work.
The Mac Pro still periodically wakes up (as in the fans and HDDs spin up, no GUI) to keep the network address alive but nothing can actually wake it, (except once on the first sleep after PRAM reset).
This was not an issue prior to 10.8.2.
I have also noticed since upgrading to 10.8.2 that after waking the Mac, it takes approximately 10-15 seconds for the network to re-connect. This is via a wired ethernet connection.
This also was not an issue prior to 10.8.2.
I really hope this is fixed with 10.8.3.

Stand-by / sleep mode not working when USB is connected

Hello!
When the USB cable from my 24" LED Cinema Display is connected to my new Mac Pro 2,66 GHz Quad-Core, the stand-by / sleep mode does not work correctly: the Mac Pro goes to sleep normally, then the LED behind the on-/off-button flashes one time and then the Mac Pro awakes from sleep mode without any user interaction.
I already tried to reset PRAM, I tested all three rear-side USB connectors (I did not test the front-side USB connectors because the display's cable is way too short), I unplugged all other USB and Firewire devices and also tried sleep mode from a freshly created account. Alas, nothing helps.
As soon as the display's USB connector is plugged in, sleep mode does not work any more. It even doesn't matter if there are USB devices plugged into the display. Without connecting the display's USB plug, sleep mode works fine.
So, any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance & best regards!
Mario.

I fixed the problem, so I just post this to help others that might run into the same trouble.
The Mac Pro and the display were connected to a master/slave power socket. The problem is: when the Mac Pro goes to sleep, there still seems to be some power left in the display (which socket is switched off by the master/slave power socket). Therefore, the display goes off slightly after the Mac Pro. This powering off seems to release a signal on the display's USB wire that is connected to the Mac Pro and therefore switches the Mac Pro on again.
So, this is the same effect as removing a USB device from the Mac during sleep mode, what (at least in most cases) also starts up the Mac again.
As a result, there seems to be no other solution to this problem than removing the display from the master/slave power socket. Sadly enough, the LED Cinema Display consumes other 2 watts in stand-by mode...
Cheers!
Mario.

IPhone 5 sleep/wake not working

My sleep wake button on my iPhone 5 is not working about a quarter of the time I try and use it. I did some research and found that this is a fairly widespread problem and that apple is replacing devices under the 1 year warranty for faulty sleep/wake buttons. My problem is that I don't have an applestore any where close (the closest one is about 470 miles) I bought the phone from Verizon (new) in January of this year. How should I go about getting my phone replaced? Would it be wiser to go through apple some how on their site or take my phone back to my Verizon brick and mortar store? I heard of some people getting a new phone from apple and when that one arrives they return their old one in the box that he new one came in, when I looked on apples support page I didn't see that as an option, only to send my phone in to get a replacement, which is not feasible for me since my cell phone is my only method of communication at this point.

You can try restoring the device as new to verify it is a hardware issue, steps to do so provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US
If the issue persists after restoring as new, call AppleCare to get a replacement set up.
They have mail in options if you don't have an Apple store near by.

Network access when sleeping does not work.

My "Wake for network access" is not working.
I need to upload large files to clients.
I have my MBP plugged in and the screen is flip up not down. However when it goes to sleep when unattended, it loses network access.
