S10e Waking up from Standby

The S10e does not reliably wake up from stand-by when running on battery power. The S10e will wake-up if left in standby for a short time, say 10 minutes, but if left for a longer time it seems to enter a 'dead state' when it cannot be woken up. When in this 'dead state' both the power and the wi-fi lights are illuminated and it is necessary to force a reboot of the S10e by keeping the power button depressed for 5 seconds or so. This results in any work in process when the machine entered stand-by being lost. It does not seem to matter whether stand-by is a result of closing the lid or a period of inactivity.
I did not experience this until after I applied the BIOS update offered automatically by the Lenovo System Update software. 
If the S10e goes into standby when connected to the 240v supply it will 'wake-up' normally.  I have tried reducing the hibernation timer from 2 hrs to 45 minutes in case problem was caused by loss of battery power when in standby but it makes no difference.  The operating system is Windows XP/Home.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks
Ian

do you still have the hibernation problem?
when running on batteries only, i usually only use the Balance and low power schemes, mostly low power - the i often don't have to bring the power supply to school.
but i dont have the problem. i changed it so that when i closer the lid it does nothing - it acts as if it was open - so standby after 10 minutes.
i think the place you have to change is the Turn Off Harddisc.
another idea is that you next time give it some time - i usually only have to press the power button shortly, and it won't re-boot, and no work is lost. otherwise i just have to touch the touchpad and wait 2-3 seconds before it comes to life
hopes it helped

  • When waking up from standby, monitors power up but no picture is displayed. HP ENVY Phoenix h9

    Product: HP ENVY Phoenix h9 PC Series

    Hello,
    Since purchasing my PC a few months ago, there has been one "display" problem after another. This is the current problem:
    When stepping away from my computer, I lock it via Win+L and shortly after my monitors turn off. When returning a short time later, I attempt to wake up (But not really "wake up"... To try and fix previous display problems, I've already disabled hibernation and sleep options) my computer by moving my mouse. This causes the monitors to exit standby and power up, but all that is dispalyed is black screens when I should have been presented with the login screen.
    Mouse and keyboard clicks do nothing and I'm stuck at black screens. To continue, I press my PC's power button which causes the hard drives to spin-up and shortly after the computer turns off. I press the power button again and the computer boots to the login screen where once I enter my password, Windows loads and all my programs etc are displayed as they were before I locked my PC.
    You can see previous problems I've had listed below, hopefully they will also help you detect the cause of the current problem.
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Previous problems that I've had:
    1) When waking from hibernation, the computer would not wake monitors from standby leaving no way to login and save work. Hard reboot required. Solution: Disable Windows hibernation features.
    2) Error along the lines of "Display driver failed and have recovered". Possible solution: Disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    3) When waking from standby, I find my 2 monitors have merged into one, and at a different resolution than normal. Once entering password to login, programs that were on seperate monitors are now on the same monitor. Right-clicking the desktop and selecting "Screen Resolution" -> "Detect" would set the monitors back to normal until the problem occurs again. Possible solution: Updated graphics card driver. Not sure if this problem has been fixed, it may have just been covered up by the new problem mentioned above.
    This question was solved.

    Hey peterallcdn, 
    I'm sorry you're running into this resuming from sleep issue. Sometimes services that are trying to resume can cause issues like this. I would suggest trying a clean boot (booting with only essential system services running) and then seeing if it resumes from sleep properly.
    Here are the steps to disable non-critical services:
    1. Windows + Q to bring up Search
    2. Type 'msconfig' and press Enter
    3. Click the Services Tab
    4. Check the Hide All Microsoft Services box 
    5. Click the Disable All button 
    6. Click Apply and Restart
    When you restart Windows should only load essential system services, no 3rd party software. Lock the computer and let it go into sleep mode as you usually do and then try to resume from sleep. Let  me know what the result of that is.
    I have seen other cases where Google Talk or antivirus programs will prevent the computer from resuming properly.

  • System not waking up from Standby S3

    I built a media center with:
    -MSI K8MM-V
    -Bios AWARD rev 1.A
    -Sempron 3000+
    -Corsair 512M
    -ATI X300 AGP card Latest revision of drivers
    -Antec power supply

    -WinXP Home edition sp2
    I have a very annoying issue when sometimes, the system doesn't wake up from standby. The system powers up but then the hard drive led stays on and still and everything is like frozen. The very strange thing is that if I press reset at that point, then the system resumes from standby.
    Any suggestions?
    Erik.

    does any display appear, or does your screen stay black? does the monitor indicate any signal present?
    when you built this system, was it a new clean install of windows XP?

  • 13" macbook pro retina 2013 problem: blank screen when waking up from standby

    I bought a 13" macbook pro retina 2013 about 3 months ago and it is for about a week or two that I encountered a problem: when I close the lid and open it after a while(or it goes to standby by not using it for some time and then I wake it up by pressing a button), sometimes it shows a blank dark screen(with mouse cursor) for about 15 seconds and then either the screen is turned off(and by pressing a key it shows the login screen) or it shows the normal login screen.

    I also have this problem, and now the
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is not working at all
    I use gfxCardStatus for work on integrated card and i can't use other displays obviously, because all video outputs (HDMI & Thunderbolt) are taking their ways from discrete card (but working on other displays is my profession of audiovisual artist). My world guarranty is over now, new motherboard costs near 1500 $ and now i don't want what to do.Maybe reballing of videochip will help me, but i'm afraid that not autorised service in my country will kill my motherboard at all. This is my first mac & i have lost many time for take the money for buyng it. I have so much frustration.

  • Randomness when waking up from standby

    I have set up so that the 520 goes into standby after one hour of inactivity.  Closing the lid is set up to do nothing.  Sometimes when opening the lid when in stanby it goes straight to the login screen, sometimes I have to press the power button to get to the login screen.
    No big deal,  I just can't figure out the randomness of the wake up.

    This used to be a bit sporadic for me too, but eventually something I did made it stop resuming on lid open consistently. Not a biggie for me, but never figured out why.

  • Screen extreme brightness after waking up from standby

    Hello. I couldn't get a screenshot to show this issue. After 5.1.1 when waking up phone the brightness of screen is exceedingly bright, then dims down after about 3-5 seconds after or if screen is touched.
    What's gives? No root, x reality is off. I loved this phone on kitkat, been horrible after 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

    Hey, I got a fairly new z3c and the same issue.
    After the update the brightness is somewhat messed up. I did a backup and reset my phone then did the update so I think this is not something you could just repair yourself.
    I got the music widget on my screen and you can see that the brightness even exceeds the normal maximum settings and really distorts colours.
    This should get some attention and bet fixed

  • Waking up from standby

    Anyone has any idea on how can I make my laptop sleep/suspend for specific time
    or even better schedule its waking up at specific time in arch.
    Some old posts directed me to a utility called apmsleep, but somehow I can't locate which package it belongs to.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    FYI, I use pm-utils for hibernate and sleep purpose. Although my laptop bios offers an alarm clock functionality, but it allows only a max of 1 alarm timing. I desire to have more.

    headkase wrote:The only thing I can think of to wake a suspended/hibernating computer is Wake-On-LAN.  For any solution it would have to be hardware based: by definition being in a suspended or hibernated state means the machine isn't processing information to "know" when it should wake up.  WOL would be a possible solution but then you need another computer to wake your computer so it may be no solution at all.
    Sounds interesting, but as you judged its not a solution to my requirement. Still, will keep this in mind, might require to use this someday.

  • After awakening from standby the whole system becomes awfully slow

    When I wake up my system from standby the system is very slow. It seems that it pauses once every second. Even the activity monitor responds that way but doesn't show any further information. Only a reboot of the system helps.
    Any idea to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance
    Wolfgang

    Hello,
    I installed update 10.7.1 and the system is still very slow after waking up from standby mode. It seems it does get even slower after another standby period... Restarting still helps - the system is then back to normal and running well.
    What I experienced yesterday is that iTunes has little glitches in the audio output, when I do memory/HD/CPU intensive things like browsing my Aperture image library back and forth. But CPU utilization is not at 100% for both cores. Those glitches are audible after fresh restart of the Mac and are much longer and ugly after waking it up.
    I have an early iMac 24" with 2,8gig and 4 GB of RAM.
    Looks like we'll have to wait for 10.7.2 after all?
    Wolfgang, has your problem been resolved with 10.7.1?

  • T400 - frozen mouse and keyboard after waking from standby

    I'm experiencing a very annoying problem on my T400 with Win XP Professional SP3:  around 75% of the time, when I wake up my T400 from standby mode, the mouse and keyboard don't work.  Actually what happens is one of these situations:
    1) Neither keyboard nor mouse (stick and pad) respond - Ctrl-Alt-Del to enter username/password is not registered, I can't log into Windows
    2) Keyboard works (I can log into windows) but mouse doesn't respond
    I have to close the laptop to standby and re-open, repeatedly, until it finally works.  Though one interesting aspect is that if I have external USB keyboard and mouse plugged in, they always work.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Thank you in advance!

  • Problems with waking from standby (suspend to disk)

    Hello,
    I have a late-2010 MacBook Air 11.6". I am running Lion 10.7.2.
    To save battery life and also increase data protection via FileVault 2, I set the hibernatemode to 25 (alwas immediately suspend to disk) and enabled destruction of the FV key on standby (pmset -a hibernatemode 25 DestroyFVKeyOnStandby). Suspending works fine; and when I open the lid to resume from standby, I get the password prompt for FileVault's full disk encryption. After entering the password, the resume process starts. But then in some cases, my display stays black and I cannot turn it on again (tried closing/opening the lid, pressing Ctrl+Shift+Eject, connecting external monitor, ...)
    If this behavior occurs, I can find entries like the following in my kernel.log:
    Dec 23 13:30:15 mba kernel[0]: NVDA::setPowerState(0xffffff800c6b3000, 0 -> 2) timed out after 61662 ms
    Is that a hardware bug? Any idea how I could possibly work around it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Best Regards

  • When resuming from standby mouse-click/keyboard doesn't work.

    When resuming from standby about 80% of the time the mouse on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) stops working. I think it is a software issue. It appears that the mouse will do a click or click and drag but will not let go when removing my fingers. The issue only happens within 5seconds of waking up. The issue is only fixed with a hard reboot. I can bring up the shutdown menu, but am unable to slect shut down as the mouse/keyboard won't give input. This issue was present in Lion and was gone for the first few months of Mavericks but appeared again this week.
    I can freely move around the mouse cursor and enter expose with three fingers but cannot select anything.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can use viewToModel() method to get caret position for x, y location. No need to click.

  • Mac Mini wakes up from standby automatically

    Hi,
    My Mac Mini wakes up from standby automatically. Waking up via network is disabled and I use an Airport Extreme, a USB mouse (not from Apple) and a wireless Apple keyboard. OS X version is 10.5.8.
    I have the Mac Mini since about 10 months now. Almost 1 month after I bought it, I had the this problem but thought I am doing something wrong or my wife has forgotten to turn it off
    After a while it was OK. About 3 months later it startet waking up by itself again. I called Apple Care (although the 3 months support was over). They tried to help, but there was no progress. It waked up again and again. After about 1 month it was OK again without me having done anything, no installations, no system updates.
    One week ago, the Mac found some updates at Apple and installed them. Since then I have again the problem! I contacted again Apple Care and again they could not help. They just want me to pay for an extension of the Apple Care package, although they could not help me in this case!
    Now I want to try it myself getting support by people in this forum. I hope there is someone with experience about this case.
    I am not much experienced with OS X, but I will try to answer questions that could help me resolve this problem.
    BTW, I searched for a similar topic and found one ("My MacMini always wakes up from standby") but in that case the wake up feature is activated by the user. In my case this feature is deactivated, as mentioned above.
    Thanks
    Cheers

    Hi,
    sorry for the delay, but I was on a business trip.
    @Bsteely: Sometimes it wakes up immediately because of loosing connection to the keaboard when I send it to sleep. I suppose at the beginning of the sleep mode it into sleep mode, the keaboard connection is closed, then the keyboard "thinks" there is a problem and sends a message to the mini and the mini just wakes up again showing that the connection to the keyboard was lost but established again! This even happened as I had unselected the checkbox "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake up this computer" in Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Advanced.
    But there are also times when the mini does not wake up so quickly. It just wakes up after hours. I had a look at Console.app as you suggested. Very weird to me indeed Well there I found something like "Wake reason = OHC2" or "Wake reason = OHC1". Unfortunately I cannot find older logs there.
    @Boece: Hi and thanks for helping!
    Well, I will try the update as soon as I can. By now I have no external harddisk to first save my data before doing the big update. But I am going to buy one soon.
    Well turning off the monitor is OK, but the harddisk can wake up anytime while the mini is turned on as the OS might need to do something from time to time. And I don't want my computer to consume electricity even if it is such a small one like the mini. I'm a kind of green dude (but not from Mars ). And the sleep mode is interesting for me as I have very often many different Internet sites and some applications running, so I don't need to close them before turning off and open all of them again when turning on the mini.
    Regarding other IR devices: The only IR device now is the keyboard. I even took out the batteries and the mini still woke up over the night!
    Thanks again for your support guys. Please let me know if you have any further information of ideas.
    Cheers

  • When I wake my computer from standby, Firefox is frozen. I need to restart it before I can do anything.

    All of a sudden, each time I come back to my computer and wake it from standby, Firefox seems to be frozen. Tabs wont open or close, web pages wont scroll, etc. I have to shut down the browser and reopen it. I dont think I've changed any settings recently, but ...
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    It is unclear what Firefox is doing upon waking from sleep. Or not doing, as the case may be.

  • T500 Unattended Wake from Standby - Windows Image Acquisition Service entered running state

    I haven't been able to figure out what is waking up my computer while I am away..  After I standby or hibernate then come back the next day, it is always running again. 
    I'm running XPsp3 on my T500 in a home network environment. 
    Tonight I stayed up with it, and it woke up at around 1:59.  I see in the System Event Viewer this event was logged, "The Windows Image Acquisition Service entered the running state".
    What is causing this service to start and wake up the computer?  
    Since this is imaging related, I mention one other thing that I have noticed, that occasionally on startup the built in webcam light will stay on, only going off when I start it and stop it again.

    If you are running XP MCE (Media Center Edition), it's likely that there is a scheduled MCE task that is waking your system every night.   When I was running MCE on my former desktop, the system came out of hibernation (as well as standby) in the wee hours every morning.   As I recall disabling the ehrecvr process prevented the behavior (though this has other affects on MCE); there may be a way in XP's task scheduler to find the MCE task and change it to not run if the system is in standby (I'm a little fuzzy on that since I later switched to Vista MCE, and the task is visible there).
    Searching on 'MCE wakes up computer from standby' in Google will show lots of similar complaints.

  • SP A60: Upon resume from standby, why devices don't work?

    Hi there,
    A question about my Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 (P2.8GHz, 40GB, Win XP Pro, as factory-delivered and extended with Belkin 54G PC-card wireless network adapter).
    When the laptop wakes up from standby, several devices don't work anymore, e.g. the wireless network-card. I haven't found anything to (un)check for Wakeup-On-Lan, resume, power management or anything similar.
    After a full reboot, all works fine again.
    What could I do to let all devices work the same after waking up from stand-by?
    Thanks in advance for your reply.
    Regards,
    Herman Zandt

    Hi Horwath
    Indeed not easy to explain. It doesn't make any difference if I use an AC power supply or battery, the same problem happens with both power sources.
    I re-checked the whole issue: upon pressing the on-switch on the SP A60 whilst it is blinking yellow (ie. A60 is in standby mode), it reboots perfectly without any errors. All devices work, ie. connectivity wireless card with base station ("excellent"), USB-ports, modem is recognised, touchpad works, DVD/CD-RW reads and soundcard works. (In fact, subject of this email is not correct anymore...)
    To be precise, what is NOT working is the data transfer, neither in my internal zone (LAN), nor outside (the Internet).
    Summarised: upon resuming from standby, the SP-A60 operates as being purely local without recognising anything outside the machine, despite the wireless network card being properly installed and excellent connectivity with the base station shown.
    As said, after full reboot all works fine again. No settings or checks have been found related to this. I'm running the latest BIOS.
    Any ideas? A hardware- or software-related issue?
    Thanks a zillion,
    Herman
