Power button wont make t510 sleep anymore?

Hi guys
I used to be able to press the power button in the middle of my T510, (above the keys and below the screen) and it would put my laptop to sleep and bring it out of sleep too.
For some reason it now doesnt do this anymore. Very occasionally it will work b8t most of the time I have to to make it sleep by pressing Fn+F4 which is a little annoying.
Can anyone suggest how I can make this work again or where you change the settings of these kinds of things]
Thanks
Alex

Hello mate,
You can change that with power manager. Open it in advanced mode and under your current power plan, you can see Event. Expand that for the option Power button you have 4 choices : Do nothing, sleep, shut down or hibernate. Choose the one you want.
You can do that under windows as well. Go to Control panel>Hardware and sound>Power options. On the left you can see Choose what the power button do. Go there and change the setting.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.

My Macbook Pro 17" 2.44ghz all of a sudden one day decided to not boot up. When the power button is pressed the sleep light in the front on the latch release turns on and there is a small running sound but it never boots up and the screen never lights up. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?
I'd love to repair it but not if it'll cost 500 bucks or more to replace the logicboard.
I appreciate any help

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

Power button wont work

okay so about 10 minutes ago i was sitting down and had my phone charging in my lap, i didn't do anything differently and then all of a sudden my screen flashed on then off then on and off and so on about 5 or 6 times rapidly, now my power button wont work at all, no matter what, i have taken out my battery and put it back in but thats all i can think of, any ideas?

Good morning, jcmorgan17. Thanks for trying all the suggestions from your fellow customers. I'm confident that if you made it into the store, their hands-on evaluation was able to help determine if the phone needed to be replaced through your warranty http://vz.to/uyYF0o or if there may have been some prior damage and insurance http://bit.ly/07CrqPK or other replacement options were needed. If you were unable to visit the store, please call 866-406-5154 from an alternate line so we can help with finding the best solution as quickly as possible.
Thank you

my ipod power button wont work but i feel it pressing the button. its not stuck its just defective. what do i do

Try restoring the iPod to rule out a software problem. First restore from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod.
Then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Power-button is not working properly anymore. It is causing sleep mode!

Hey all!
I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch, which is one year old. Lately I am experiencing a strange problem.
I cannot shut the mac down by pressing the power button. Usually the windon with the options should pop-up.
Instead of this, it makes my mac to go immediately to sleep mode.
I dont know what caused this and I dont know how to fix that.
Does anyone of you have a clue?
Thanks a lot!

I'm experiencing the same curious problem, here(Macbook Pro 13", mid 2009). This started after upgrading to, Mavericks. One press of the power button always used to bring up the dialog box with the various options. Now, just a press of the power button, and it's immediate sleep time. Music that was playing in iTunes stops playing, so it's different from the screen sleeping.
But, as dominic23 states, "Press and hold the power button for seconds until the dialog box appears", does seem to do the trick. This is just a different behavior than in the past.

My Ipod nano power button wont work while headset are in, how do i fix it?

Hello, I got myself a iPod nano 6th gen. and I'm already having problems with it. I got it from ebay and it was working all good, expect one day the power/sleep button just stop working when the headset are plugged in.
so this is how I can somewhat make it work on it but it still stinks to work with it like this. When I have no head set plug in, it works all fine. The power/sleep button is okay, the volume button is okay, and the touch screen is okay, but once I plug the headset set in, if shut off after 1 second, and cant turn it back on, then if i plug my power cable in then I can use the touch screes, but the power/sleep button doesn't work as well the volume buttons. Now if I do a soft reset with the power button and down volume and get the apple logo on, I can quickly get the headset plug in and play the music with out the power cable in, but still cant use the button at all. Also when I have it plug in to the power cable then plug in the headset, it shut off until I replug in the power cable or remove the headset to turn it back on.
How can I fix this? I tried the factory reset through iTunes, and it didn't help. I try the diagnostic and that didn't help. Should I just send it in and pay for the repair cost or what?

The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an Apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

HT1343 Power button – for Standby not working anymore

My ipod 3g home and power button wont work!

Last night I woke up to find my ipod touch on. IT was probably on for 4-5 hours. I pressed the sleep button but nothing happened. I pressed it over and over but no luck. So I tried press the home and power button on at the same time but nothing happened. Eventually it went to sleep and restarted and the home button worked but not the sleep. I restarted it again and now both of the buttons dont work. I restarted it at least 4 times. Eventually the home but will work but it lags about 40 seconds. During the night my ipod would shut off, shut on, picture, shutt off shut on, picture etc etc. I dont think the buttons are totally busted and I feel like I can fix it. I haven't tried putting it into itunes yet. Someone please help!

My iphone is stuck on the settings screen but the home button and lock and power buttons wont work. I can navigate through my settings but can't get out of them or turn off my phone.

My iphone is stuck on the settings screen and the home and lock buttons wont work. I can navigate through the settings but canot go home or turn orr or reset my phone. Please help):

I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
Hope this somehow helps!

My Macbook power button wont start up

Hi,
My Macbook wont start up at all. I have charge in the battery and the power lead lights up green when plugged in, but when I press the power button there's nothing. This happened after the macbook turned off whilst I was working on it. I tried restarting and it got to the logo page then turned off again. I've had no power since.
I've tried resetting the smc with no luck. Any advice would be grateful before I head to my local apple store.
Kind Regards

Quick update..
I have opened it up, and the only visible problem seems to be the orange ribbon cable which is on top of the hard drive. There is a white chalky residue/possibly dried-in glue?
Does anyone know if this might be connected?
Thanks for your help!

Mac won't boot after I pressed the power button for it to sleep

Ok so, I decided to take a break and instead of turning off my PC, I put it on sleep by pressing the power button...and screen obviously goes black.
After an hour and a half I decided to return to my PC...and on pressing the power button it won't boot (nothing: no sound or sign of life).
Thought it may be due to the battery, however seems like it's fully charged as when I connect my adapter to it, the led light is green....
What am I going to do???? And I don't download or watch films or anything of the sort!!!!!!

My Power Mac G5 won't sleep anymore

Hi there,
I have a dual-2.5Ghz G5 with 3GB RAM and a 30 inch monitor. Recently, like in the last couple of weeks, my mac won't go to sleep for good... I hit sleep, and then it takes like 30 seconds, powers down then immediately powers back up again. I'm confused by some of these other posts as to what to do... can anyone help? I have a really amazing brand new machine and this is really annoying.
I have the bluetooth turned off, and the energy saver set not to wake up for anything.

Try trashing these 2 .plist preferences and reboot. Reset your Energy Saver preferences.
HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration > com.apple.AutoWake.plist & com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
Also, try closing your mail app before sleeping.
