Satellite P100-286 won't go into standby mode

I've noticed that even though it's set to sleep when I close the lid. The fans keep going and the sleep led remains blue.
Reading the manual suggest the machine should turn off the fans, hardware etc and the light should be orange.
Hibernation works fine, but I want it to sleep.
I suspect the problem lies with the NVidia 7900 GS Drivers I am using (7.15.10.9754).
I've tried going back to the Microsoft ones, with no luck.
Which drivers should I be using to solve the sleep issue and how to I get Vista to use them? It always seems to use the latest.

Hi
Do you use Windows Vista?
On the Toshiba notebooks with window XP the power saver is installed and controls the settings for standby and hibernation mode.
I assume on the notebooks with Vista OS the Toshiba power saver was not installed and you have to check the settings in the Vista power options.
I dont know what drivers you use and where you have downloaded it but you should use the drivers delivered with the notebook and the Toshiba image.

  • Satellite P100-286 won't start anymore

    Hi,
    I have a P100-286 which I don't use very often but today I tried to switch it on and all I get is a flash from the lights near the speakers and the power light comes on for a few seconds then nothing.
    The battery light is lit up red but it also won't start if I take the battery out a connect it to the mains?
    Is it likely the laptop is dead or could it just be the battery?
    I have only had it a few months and don't use it very often so the battery has not been under much load

    Hmm sounds not good!
    Try this firstly;
    Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor for about 20min.
    After this short period, connect the battery and the AC adaptor again and try to start the notebook.
    If this simply procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country for a notebook check.
    Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

  • Help, MBP 2,2 won't turn into Standby after upgrade to 10.7.2

    Recently I've upgraded from 10.7.1 to 10.7.2 via the Software-update utility, however now my MBP model 2,2 won't turn into standby mode when it is connected to the power adapter. Not when I close the lid, or when I select Standby via Apple -> Standby.
    On the other hand, when my MBP is running on battery there is no problem with going into Standby mode, so I thing it has something to do with the settings that are suddenly changed...
    Does anyone now if the settings have changed somehow? Or where I can change the settings?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Bastiaan,
    The first two days after installation of 10.7.2 and the Aperture update my laptop also refused to go to sleep, but that behaviour stopped recently all by its own. When I looked at the Activity monitor I saw the mac was indexing spotlight and rebuilding libraries, so probably it did not want to go to sleep while there still was critical work to be done to migrate properly to iCloud.
    I do not know of any other preference settings that might prevent sleep.
    So perhaps you should look at the Activity Monitor, if some high priority process is running, that might prevent sleep.
    If closing the lid does not work, that might be a hardware problem, but it seems to be unlikely, since it works when on battery power. Does your computer go to sleep when on power adapter, if you set the computer sleep interval to a very short time?
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Satellite 1800-314: When I close the lid it won't go into standby

    Hope someone can help.
    I recently had my Satellite 1800-314 (Windows XP)re-formatted, and now when I close the lid it won't go into standby.... the power light flashes amber, when I open the lid again, Windows shuts down and then restarts. I have tried installing Toshiba power settings, setting "when I close the lid, standby", to no avail.
    Have then uninstalled Toshiba power settings and set ordinary power settings in Control Panel to "standby", etc, but it STILL won't go back to standby.
    I'm frazzled now.
    Is there a simple solution that I'm missing?
    Grateful in advance for any help!

    Hi
    You should know that it is very important to install the drivers in the right order.
    The installation of common modules at the beginning is important because some Tosh drivers need this application for properly working.
    If the power saver was installed on the OS the windows power settings will not work.
    The Toshiba settings overwrite the Microsoft settings.
    Furthermore please check your preinstalled BIOS. Compare the version with the BIOS on the page. If your unit uses the older version so try to upgrade it.
    But be careful. You have to use the right BIOS and the right upgrades procedure.

  • My ipod won't go into disk mode

    i've tried and tried and it won't go into disk mode. it shows an apple then a folder with the ! and when plugged into the computer sometimes it'll say don't disconnnect for about 10 seconds and then it'll go back to the apple.
    also it sounds as though the drive is stuck in a loop; a weird repetitive whirring sound when i hold it up to my ear.

    If you can't get it into disk mode and restore the iPod it most likely needs service, especially with that noise it's making.

  • My iPod classic won't go into disk mode

    I have an iPod Classic (120GB) here. When I turn it on, it gives me a screen with the Apple logo first and after a few seconds a screen with a red circle, a cross in the circle and the text: www.apple.com/support/ipod . I followed all the steps on that page, however my iPod won't go into disk mode. The iPod is not seen by my iMac and iTunes. What to do?

  • Laserjet m276nw won't go into eco mode

    Hi all,
    For some reason my new printer won't go into eco mode. I've doubled checked the settings and even though it's idle for days the touch console is always on and it never enters sleep mode.
    Any idea how to fix this? I've checked the settings via the Web interface and the touch console and they both have this mode enabled. I'm afraid if this keeps up it'll burn in the console UI and use a lot of electricity.
    Thanks.

    Hi @Mkakers,
    I understand that you are having issues with the printer not going into sleep mode. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    I have provided the menus for the sleep modes, just to double check the settings again. This information was provided by the manual on page 139. LASERJET PRO 200 COLOR MFP.
    Set the sleep delay:
    1. From the Home screen, touch the Setup button.
    2. Open the following menus:
    ● System Setup
    ● Energy Settings
    ● Sleep Delay
    3. Select the time for the sleep delay.
    NOTE: The default value is 15 minutes.
    Set the Auto Power Down delay:
    1. From the Home screen, touch the Setup button.
    2. Open the following menus:
    ● System Setup
    ● Energy Settings
    ● Auto Power Down
    ● Power Down Delay
    Update the printer's firmware if the issue continues. HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw Drivers.
    What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!

  • My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

    My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

    That's normal behavior. It turns off automatically in order to preserve the battery. Pushing the On/Off button turns it on immediately. This also requires entering the passcode and prevents the phone from being accessed by anyone but you.

  • Should Apple TV be put into standby mode when not in use?

    Anyone,
    When I am done watching Apple TV, should I put it into standby mode or leave it on? Just want to take of my new favorite toy!!!!

    I tend to leave them on all the time - standby mode isn't particularly low power as lots of things are still active.

  • Yosemite install won't boot into any mode

    Really sorry if this has been covered before but I spent a good time searching and couldn't find any existing posts with symptoms to the same extent.
    I've got a 2008 iMac 27" and have the latest version of Yosemite installed (10.10.1 I guess). I upgraded to Yosemite probably 2-3 weeks ago and everything has been fine. Then yesterday when I woke it up from sleep it effectively froze - no mouse or keyboard input. So I did a reset by holding down the power button, and when I turned it back on it went to the apple logo boot screen with a progress bar that gets to just below 50% and stuck there. I've restarted quite a few times and left it running up to six hours and still it doesn't boot.
    Now this is similar to the issue here - OSX Yosemite won't boot after install on mid 2010 iMac - except I am unable to boot into any mode, and the only startup keys accepted are the P-RAM reset. It won't boot into recovery mode (command+R), safe mode (Shift), startup drive select mode (Option), diagnostics mode (D)... nothing
    I've booked into a Genius Bar appointment when the Apple stores reopen after Christmas, but I'm hoping that is a last resort and to be honest I'm unsure what they can do for me except to say it's a lost cause.
    Are there any suggestions on what could be happening and why it's ignoring the startup modes? I would have suggested the keyboard not being recognised except the P-RAM command works perfectly, so it's obviously seeing it. I'm a little scared that because it won't let me into a boot device menu (which must operate independent of any HDD) then there's an issue ahead of that in the boot sequence, so possibly the motherboard is shot...
    Sorry if I seem a little desperate. I had a HDD crash two years ago to the day (great Christmas present Apple) and it kind of puts a dampener on things.
    Happy holidays and I'm grateful for any help that anyone can offer

  • My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode

    My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode. I have to close the screen and wait a few seconds and re-open it in order for it to come back on.
    Sometimes it immediately goes back into standby mode again after closing and reopening the screen. I have checked the battery level everytime, and it has never been below 40% when this occurs. Is this a Mountain Lion issue?

    Well I fixed my problem.
    I took it into the Apple store. Even without the other two monitors they were able to recreate the problem. One symptom (I had) was that one of the Hot Corners was set to Disable screen saver. If you then put your cursor there, you'd go into screen saver mode. Change the setting to another corner and the problem follows you there.
    The Apple person at the Genius bar logged out as me and back in as test and same problem. He tried some stuff and finally said I needed to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS (Lion). I'd only had the machine for 12 hours and had just migrated my data to it, so I didn't mind doing that. I did it at home.
    Problem solved.
    BUT... then I reinstalled the driver for my EVGA UV Plus 19 (most current drivers) and bingo problem back. Uninstall. Problem gone. I'm now using mini display port to DVI for one monitor and HDMI for the other I think the machine is a bit warmer this way (versus using a USB to the EVGA device) but at least it's not sleeping all the time. Someone might say "it (the heat) is your imagination" or something else. Or someone might say "use the other thunderbolt port for another mini-display port to DVI" but I need that for the LAN... c'est la vie.
    Maybe I'll write to evga and see what they say. Maybe they'll fix their driver and/or Apple will fix it.
