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

X1 USB mouse resumes from standby even though disabled in Device Manager

I don't want mouse movement to resume the X1 from standby (sleep). So I have gone into Win 8.1 Device Manager under power mgt tab and unchecked the box that enables this. However, the X1 still resumes from standby if the mouse is moved.
Is there something else -- like in the BIOS -- that I need to do?

I have also found that keyboard does not seem to be able to wake this computer in any case, even though the box is checked in Device Mgr for keyboard to do so. However, if I uncheck the box for keyboard, then mouse does not wake computer either. It is as though the checkbox in Device manager for the mouse is not relevant. Only the checkbox for keyboard matters as regards the mouse, and the keyboard can't wake the computer regardless.

USB ports don't work after resuming from standby with Windows 8 on X230 tablet

I have just done a clean install of Windows 8 on my X230 tablet. Before installing Windows 8 I installed the most recent BIOS for this machine (version 2.50). After installing Windows 8 I installed System Update from the Lenovo Website and downloaded all the recommended drivers and other files. I've also installed all the latest Windows 8 updates.
Here are the symptoms of my problem: After resuming from standby/sleep mode, my USB ports do not work. My computer has two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 ports. All exhibit the same behavior. After resuming from standby mode I have tried inserting both my mouse and a USB thumbdrive, but neither are recognized. After restarting Windows, the USB ports work again... until I resume from standby mode again.
I hope there is a solution to this issue. It is very frustrating.

Thanks for the suggestion about tweaking the "Allow this computer to turn off this device" feature. I un-checked that box for every entry I could find under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" in the Devide Manager. Unfortunately, the same symptoms of my problem persisted.
I went back and looked at the README file associated with the BIOS 2.50 download on Lenvo's support site. At the bottom of the file it gives a "Summary of Changes". Under version 2.03 of the BIOS (the version just before version 2.50), it says:
- (Fix) Fixed an issue where USB device might not detected when system resume from sleep mode.
This indicates that Lenovo support was already aware of such issues. The problem was intended to be fixed in version 2.03 of the BIOS. However, the issue persists on my machine, even with the latest BIOS.
Hopefully someone from Lenovo can comment here.

35% CPU after resume from Standby

After comming out of standby, CPU runs at 35% busy for a long time (30 minutes or more). Reboot and CPU is 2%. Is there a reason why resuming from Standby is crippling the system. The CPU time is in a SYSTEM process with no other information (Task Manager) and just runs and runs and runs. The system is 4 days old and I have not made changes to the BIOS settings.

Thanks for the reply but the solution related to a docking station problem and I do not have a docking station. But the problem has gone away. Why? I do not know. That is actually more distressing because there was no cause to link the problem to. So who knows when it will just start again. I did change the power options to not hibernate but then changed them back. The change seems to have made the problem go away. Turn it off then back on and it runs differently. Not very comforting.

Laptop Freezes upon returning from standby when NI-VISA is installed

My Windows XP SP3 laptop was working fine with Labview 2010 installed. Upon installing NI-VISA 5.0.0 or 5.1.1, the computer generally works fine, but upon returning from Standby, the computer freezes. (After a few seconds, the screen freezes, and the computer is unresponsive unless I force it to turn off.)
Uninstalling Labview entirely fixes the problem, and reinstalling just Labview does not make it return, but after reinstalling the NI-VISA, the error returns.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Greg

Thank you for your reply,
Lets do a couple of steps now:
1) Are you on a desktop or laptop?
2) Can you disconnect all USB devices on your computer and re-create the issue?
3) If the issue persists, can you post the log of your computer's Event Viewer (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427) when the computer seems to freeze?
Thanks!

After 10.4.3 upgrade, problems resuming from standby

I have a Powerbook G3 Pismo 400 MHz with 576 MB RAM. After upgrading to 10.4.3, every time I open the lid to resume from standby, the powerbook freezes, even when no programs are open. It shows the desktop as it was previously, but the mouse will not move, the keys have no effect, etc. This lasts for approximately 25-30 seconds, after which time it becomes responsive again and acts normally.
I've noticed that this occurs if I have the powerbook plugged in to the A/C, but don't have the battery in. If I put the battery in, it doesn't exhibit this problem. I've tried fixing the disk permissions, and reinstalled from the combo update download, but that didn't help.
Has anyone else experienced this, is there a solution, and does Apple monitor this forum for bug reports, or is there another way to submit a bug report?

Thanks Dave; I tried dragging the folders on the CD onto the desktop and they copy okay, and indicate by size they are full. They open on the desktop with all showing in them. So I copied all the CDs I use and re-burned them -- they will now read okay so I do not need to drag files to the desktop first, but can get it right from the CD. Seems like a lot of extra hassle for something that should be very simple to do. ;-} Again, i appreciate your suggestion, and quick response.

White screen when resuming from standby

Hey,
For about a week when I resume from standby by opening the lid I get a white screen.
I'm using a MacBook Pro 2,7 GHz, Intel Core i7 with 4 GB ram bought in September this year (2011). Fully updated as of today.
Basically, I close the lid of the laptop before I go to sleep and when I open it the next day the screen goes white. So far I have remedied this by pushing the power button which forces the Shut Off options to appear and the white screen is gone.
Is this something I should be concerned about? I've read about the "White Screen of Death."
Anyone else have this issue?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Backlight hotkeys dead following resume from standby

this is a strange problem...
sometimes (but not every time) when i resume from standby or hibernate, my backlight hot keys (Fn + Home/End) are dead and i am stuck at the backlight level that the computer was at when it went down. only way to fix it is to reboot.
help!

I have the same issue. The screen brightness at times just gets stuck. No way to get the hotkeys to work (unless I reboot) . I can't change the brightness via the control panel either.
Any ideas about how to fix this would be much appreciated.

Resume from standby in Vista

I have been having the problem with my 20" alu imac that when I resume from standby in vista that it hangs for about 5-10 seconds before I can enter my password. I do have hybrid sleep disabled, so that isn't the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this.

You think 5-10 seconds to load or check the contents of RAM to what is on disk and be ready is a problem though.
I would leave hibernation enabled, even though it use to pose a problem early on in Vista I think it is better to have, especially now with SP1 and SP2.
Windows 7 beta has a number of improvements but Vista has always taken longer on boot or loaded before it is ready to use.
~1GB hibernation support is necessary in order to prevent data loss when a machine has been in standby for many hours. This can be removed via the Disk Cleanup wizard or via an elevated command prompt (powercfg /h off).

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.

Windows 8 won't find any airport after resuming from standby

Hi,
I have had a windows 7 PC with both airport express (2nd and 3rd generation) working flawlessly. I bought a new Windows 8 Laptop. Initially everything worked fine, but after resuming from standby mode (closed the display and reopened) my itunes stopped working, and the airport utility software was unable to find both airport express. After shutdown and restart they both worked again until the next standby mode.
I've read somewhere that it might be a conflict with IPv6 so I disabled it from registry, but the problem remains.....
any thoughts
Regards,
German

Did you upgrade the drivers from the wireless card manufacturer in win8 machine.. ??
If that doesn't work.. do some more basic wireless investigation..
1. Are wireless names SMB compliant.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric?
2. WPA2 Personal security with a password which also conforms to the above.
3. Test with fixed wireless channels. 11, 6, 1
4. If none of the above work.. turn off security for a few minutes and see if that works.

Resume from standby does NOT ask for password--how to fix?

On my X240, when I resume from standby, I am NOT being asked for my password. But I want to.
In Power Manager, in Events, I keep setting Require password on standby resume to yes, but the computer comes out of standby when I touch the keyboard, without asking for my password.
NB I work with the laptop closed, and docked in a Targus dock. Under AC settings, for the lid closed event, I have set it to Do Nothing

Hi,
Pardon a silly question, but is it actually resuming from standby or just re-activating the display? By that I mean that the screen is blank but the laptop isn't yet in standby mode.
How do you have the screen blank and standby timers set and how do they compare to the times that you observe the problem?

T60 Slow to Resume from Standby

I have noticed that ever since replacing my HD, because of (1) bad sectors and (2) it was getting noisy, it takes a long time for my T60 to resume from standby, sometimes 2 - 5 mins before it gets going again. If I shut down and restart all seems to be fine although not as fast as pre HD replacement. It seems only to be a problem when I go to and from standby. Any ideas?
Recent changes that may have impacted - I replaced my OEM 60G HD with a WD 500G HD by cloning the HD using Acronis. I didn;t reload the OS. I did have to change some BIOS settings to get the new HD to be recognised by the BIOS - something about compatability mode - not 100% sure. I'll add more details once I reboot and check these. (it was AHCI to Compatability I have since changed to AHCI again to see if this has an impact). Otherwise all else is the same. I originally cloned the HD to extend the partition to the full size of the new HD but noticed it was a lot slower and had an annoying habit of accessing the HD on a regular (approx) 1 sec interval even when idle. So I changed the partition size to about 100G thinking it would have to span physically less of the HD using Paragon HD Manager and it did make it faster.
I have Win XP SP3 2G RAM, T60 with Intel CPU T2400 @1.83GHz

Sounds to me that you should get your harddrive checked. You shouldn't notice any difference in speed between a 60GB drive and a 500GB drive, apart from the fact that the 500GB drive should in theory be faster. At least given if they're both the same RPM (5400 or 7200 most likely).
If the problem persists, even after running a hardware-diagnostic, I'd recommend reinstalling. Changing the harddrive by cloning it shouldn't present any problems of this kind, but one never knows - it's amazing what can be solved by reinstalling, sometimes

3000 N100 lost network connection when resuming from standby

My Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop seems to lose it's network connection when it resumes from standby. I have to restart the machine in order to reconnect to the ethernet network. Running WindowsXP Pro. Any advice or suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris

Sorry for presumption that it was wireless connection issues, it might work since the solution involves tweaking or changing power management settings.
However, if does not work you can still look for the solution in that website by entering the problem in the search dialogue box and clicking "search site"
Let us know how it went.

K8t Neo2 problem with resume from standby after BIOS flash

Previously while using the 3.2 BIOS and a Winchester 3200+, Both Standby and hibernation worked perfectly almost without fail. Since I flashed the BIOS to 9.3 and installed an X2 4200+ I have had a problem with resume from standby. The machine starts up OK but the 2nd processor core (cpu1) is almost maxed out and stays that way. Task manager shows total cpu load as about 45-50% (all on cpu1) but shows no running process using any cpu load, just the usual System Idle process at about 99%. The only way to get it back down to normal again seems to be to reboot. By Contrast Hibernation works fine, with no increase in cpu load after resume. I have all the latest MS patch's installed (I think!) the AMD dual core driver and the MS and AMD dual core optimizers. Any ideas what is going on?

Noticed last night that S! standby seems to work OK. Also was experimenting with a fresh windows install on a spare hard drive (checking on another problem). The fresh windows install appeared to work with S4 hibernation, so it looks like that is the answer to that problem. However the problem with high cpu load on the second core after resume from S3 suspend to RAM standby was still present. This problem is so specific and so repeatable (it does it every time without fail), that I feel there must be some very well defined reason for it. Unfortunately I have no ideas what could be wrong. Have now tried Windows re-install, latest cpu drivers, AMD dual core optimizer, MS dual core optimizer, Cool'n'quite disabled/enabled, and various others and suspend to RAM still gives the same behaviour
