T500 Long Power down Issue

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced an issue with the T500 having issues powering down.  I've ran into an issue where the docked T500 takes approximately 40 seconds to successfully powerdown, after Windows XP has successfully shutdown.  Any ideas would be greatly apprecitated...

after the latest update of some windows software, the W500 at my company with XP has taken around 1 minute to power down... how long does it take to power down under safe mode. Most likely this is a software problem, but there are cases (not with Thinkpads) where i have seen that hardware problem is causing long delay in shutdowns. 
Regards,
Jin Li

  • Computer wont boot after long power down z77a-g45

    Hi experts !
    I think i need some help. I own a z77-g45, bios 2.9 + Core I5 3570K +SSD 120 Go intel + ati 7950.
    I received this MB one week ago. Since, i try to make it work, no trying OC.
    I began with Win8. Installations seemed fine, but after some time letting computer power down, i alwas found myself facing OS unable to boot, even when using older restoration point.
    So i decide to go with win7 64 bits.
    Once again, all looked like running fine, till a long power down, after that, OS refused to boot, locked on screen with colored windows logo.
    I can boot in safe mode. But still couldnt find a faulty service with msconfig a dichotomic way. Os went back during the process..
    What i noticed, is that after a long power down, it seems to happen something in the Bios : when the computer starts, it shuts down after one second, and then restarts again. Like if some settings were changed automatically by the motherboard. But I didn't see what the changes are.
    Does that inspire someone ?
    Thanks
    Nicolas

    I saw a similar post, where the guy changed the on board lithium battery.
    I did the same, and now everything looks fine.
    I also did a dual boot install : w7 x64 and w8 x64. That allows me to have access to a boot menu with the ability to easily start w8 in safe mode if needed. I noticed it can help, cause sometimes, the integrated GPU (HD4000) has some side effects.
     

  • Power down issue on a K9N SLI-2F (601-7250-090)

    I have a K9N-2F with the serial number 601-7250-090 Kxxxxblablabala
    According to the sticky on the powerdown issue it should not be affected.
    But since about a month it will power down when I download large files.
    It always powers down the first 5-6 times when I switch the computer on.
    Then it works, sometimes for hours, sometimes for minutes.
    But it always shuts down when I download files from the internet or p2p.
    If I disable the LAN-controllers the computer runs just fine, with no powerdowns even on startup.
    Do I have this problem as well? I have the latest BIOS. Is there anything I could do or do I have to get MSI to replace it?
    Regardsfrom Sweden.

    Tja mannen
    I have a Amd Athlon64 6000+ (125W)
    XION 630W PSU with 21A rails.
    2gb Corsair Value Select 5300 DDR
    I know the amps is a bit low but the PSU is not the problem... I have managed to narrow it down to the LAN controllers.
    If I push my GF8800 grahics card to the limit nothing happens, so it couldn't be the PSU.
    But if I start up IE or Firefox and dowload a file or enters a heavy webpage the computer shuts down.
    Also it ALWAYS shuts down 5-6 times when I boot up the first time after having the computer turned off over night.'
    Then it runs allright for 5 minutes up to a few hours.
    If I disable the LAN controllers the computer never shuts down,
    When I start up Azerus it shuts down after just a few minutes.
    This problem started about a month ago.
    It worked just fine for 4 months.
    I tried giving the CPU more juice, but that didn't help.
    The DDR runs at 1.90v bydefault.

  • 10.4.9 update,  external FW drives no longer power down when ejected?!?!?!

    this is really odd. and i have reverted to 10.4.8 until i can find a solution.
    i have two different fw400/usb20 external cases. inside each is a 200gb ata hd.
    now before 10.4.9, when i ejected the disks from the desktop, they would not only eject, but POWER DOWN as well.
    now, when i eject, they dont power down. This was really one of the great things about fw400 drives, and i loved it.
    whats the deal here?
    the drive enclosures are a Macally 100ac, and a Macally 500bc.

    You're not alone. I have three Macally PHR-100AC drives, with a 200 and 300 GB Maxtor drive, and a 320 GB Western Digital drive. All are exhibiting the same behaviour:
    The drives don't spin down like the Energy Saver "Spin down hard drives when possible" checkbox is checked (or, for the Terminal-minded, my "pmset -g disk" tells me disksleep is set to 5.) The drives also do not spin down when I eject the drives, as you said. I've tested it over USB 2.0 and Firewire: it exhibits the same behaviour on both.
    There are threads at AppleNova (http://forums.applenova.com/showthread.php?t=22914) and MacOSXHints (http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=69428&page=2) with people with the same problem.
    I've tested the drives on another system, and they still spin down properly, so the 10.4.9 update didn't permanently damage the drive chipsets.
    I emailed Macally, and they said, "Well, that *****, tell Apple."
    I have a 2.5" Firewire external drive from EZQuest that still spins down properly upon idle or upon ejection, so it's not like 10.4.9 completely killed that ability.
    I'm posting a bug now to Apple's Bug Report form. We'll see where it goes from there.

  • K8 Neo4-F Power Down Issue

    Just finished building a K8 Neo4-F staying conservative in the beginning with everything just fine after loading the Nvidia Drivers , ATI Drivers (Dotnetfx.exe), all Windows Updates, DX 9.0C, and basic programs. Now the system Power Down from the OS AND the Power OFF Button has begun to Restart after 2 seconds Everytime UNLESS I hold the Power Button Down for about 5 sec. I've cleared the CMOS and loaded Optimized Defaults, Checked BIOS power functions, switched Power Supplies and pulled off all the cards except for the PCIE. Even flashed Up to 1B from 1A too.
    All electrical connectors seem fine and it worked OK until about 2 hours after finishing or so. Seems to be a faulty board or what??

    Power Management Setup/Restore On AC Power Loss                 off
    Set the above setting in bios setup. Then save and exit to check if the system will reboot itself.

  • At wits end with 880GMA-E55 power down issue, EDIT: FIXED

    Hello all, I have decided to post here in hopes that I can get my problem figured out and resolved. I have done everything I can (and all the searching to go with it) to find a fix to this blasted problem but I just can't seem to narrow it down or am not going far enough.
    I recently built a PC I am not completely new at it but it was the first time by myself. I got it put together and running fine, OS installed (win7 64bit pro) and drivers/programs. It is stable and runs great, tested memory and everything else and there are no problems that I can see and it hasn't crashed under stress a single time and there are no errors in the event log anymore. The ONLY problem I have is when I want to shut it down it doesn't power off but instead turns back on and starts booting again. I thought it was an OS issue with a driver/program conflict making it fail at shutdown and reboot, but no matter what setting I change in accordance with the power management or automatically restarting when it comes upon an error, it has remained a problem. It won't shut down; Not from the power button, not from the OS, not from safe mode, not from logging off or anything. I thought it was an issue with how I connected the front panel connectors (and it may be) but no matter what I do to the wires it doesn't change anything. Have I built a ghost machine? Stable but can't power off? Is it a hardware or driver/software issue? I would really like to figure this out, even though the PC runs great I don't want to simply ignore this, as having to flip the power switch to prevent it from rebooting at shutdown is not fun nor acceptable.
    I updated to the latest bios (25.3), checked and reinstalled drivers, checked every OS and bios setting related to the issue. Nothing has solved it and I really don't want it to be the mobo itself as that will devastate me. I would Hate to have to send it back in and replace it, the PC is running fine and stable after all, just reboots at shutdown.
    Rig is(Important parts only):
    AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3.2ghz
    MSI-7623 880GMA-E55 AM3 USB 3.0 SATAIII mobo
    XFX Radeon HD6850 1GB 256b GDDR5
    G.skill PC10666 8GB (x2 4GB) V series
    WD 640GB SATAIII 64mb cache HDD
    Corsair TX750v2 Enthusiast series 750w
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Like I mentioned in the first post, everything related to power management or wakeup in the OS and bios has been disabled.
    I cleaned up the errors in the event log however I did have some odd driver/software installs (like the msi software which usually conflicts with the 64bit systems).
    I didn't install from the cd I downloaded drivers from the websites and installed those. Live update also ran and installed the network drivers, I went to realtek and reinstalled just in case.
    There might still be a driver/software conflict however the only errors in the event log currently are not the ones I was having previously they are unrelated and not serious.
    Is the only way to solve such a (sorry) stupid problem is to reinstall the OS? seems kind of ...redundant ..everything works fine except it can't shutdown. I Wish the OS would just shut itself down clearing its memory and then power off the system, but apparently thats too much to ask.

  • Power on-Power off issues with X200

    I am having power up and power down issues with my Lenovo X200.
    Prior to the immediate problem, I would experience occasional unexpected shutdown of the computer (I would hear a relay click when it happened), and on some occasions when I put it into hibernation, then power it back up later it would not resume, instead, it would restart with a new session of Windows.
    About a month ago, it shut down while I was using it.  I powered it back on, but it took a long time (nearly a minute) to get the “ThinkPad” initial boot screen, then the screen would be blank for about a minute, then I would get a screen that read, “Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension v 4.0.4.0007” and also “M.E Initializing……”   That screen would show for about a minute, then I got another screen reading “Security chip is generating endorsement key pair.  Please wait.”  That screen would show for about 5 minutes, then it would read, “Generation failed!!!” for about 5 seconds.  After that, it would boot to Windows (I am using Windows 7 Professional).
    When I would shut it down, either in hibernate mode or full shutdown, after the hard drive icon stopped flashing (indicating it had shut down), the power icon, battery icon would stay on, and the “sleep” icon would flash.  I would have to hold the power button down to turn those icons off; if I failed to do that the power would stay on until the battery completely drained.
    I read something about the “Security chip is generating endorsement key pair” message so I went into BIOS and changed the security chip from “Active” to “Inactive”.  However, when I would start the computer with the chip “inactive”, it would go first to the initial boot screen, then to the “M.E. Initializing” message, then the screen would go blank and remain blank, not ever booting to Windows.  So I went back to BIOS and changed the security chip to “Disabled”.  With it disabled, it will boot up, but still is very slow booting and I still get that “M.E. Intializing” message for about a minute, and also I still have to hold the power button down to power down the computer after I shut it down (or hibernate) with Windows.
    The good news is that, after this started happening, I have not encountered an unexpected shutdown nor has it failed to resume the previous windows session if I hibernate it.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    The difference may be that the G5 iMac bus (where your fire wire plugs into the back) is a powered bus. What this means is the LaCie drive will "sense" the power from the bus and not turn off. The power it gets from the fire wire bus however may (is) not be enough to actually operate it, only leave it on. You still need to the drive into a power outlet.
    In the LaCie manual (CD that comes with drive) and the FAQ section of LaCie's web page it states this as well.
    What I do is manually turn the drive on when needed (performing back up or for scheduled back up). The LaCie drive should be quiet when not in use as it has no fan.
    PS - try SuperDuper for backups, much better (IMHO) than Silverkeeper.

  • Can not power down my HTC Droid Incredible as the phone options menu will not display.

    Press down power switch at top of device for up to a minute and nothing happens. Options menu no longer appears. Had trouble with the device about  2 weeks ago where nothing would work and I was getting force close messages. Found a solution on this forum to fix the force close issue but then I could no longer power down the device.

    I just resolved my orriginal issue with the power down by calling Verizon support (866) 406-5154. It was very simple while the phone was on just remove the back case and take out the battery. Then with putting the battery back in turn on the phone and when fully booted just try to power off and it worked.
    There are many articles written about battery life in this community and in the documentation.

I've lost track of many topics in tags I had open when I had to shut down in advance of a power down by the electricity co. for day-long maintenence work in my area. Being able to quickly close all tags, knowing one can recover them later is invaluable.

  • Kernel panic when I power down my Thunderbolt 1 drive AFTER unmounting it

    I've been using a "LaCie d2 USB 3.0/Thunderbolt 4TB" external drive since April 2014, which is connected to my late-2012 iMac via the Thunderbolt 1 port.
    When I'm not using the drive, I first unmount it, and then power it down at the mains.
    This worked fine until 1 Feb 2015, when I started getting a kernel panic every time I power down the drive - after it's been unmounted.
    The issue is 100% reproducible, and it doesn't matter how long I wait between unmounting the drive and powering it down - I've tried waiting several minutes. Powering down the drive ALWAYS causes an instantaneous kernel panic.
    I do not get a kernel panic if I turn off the drive as follows: unmount the drive, disconnect the Thunderbolt cable, power down the drive, and then reconnect the Thunderbolt cable (while the drive is turned off).
    The panic report text is virtually identical each time this occurs. Below is the most recent example.

  • Long term ADSL issues

    Hi guys, looking for a little advice. I live in a fairly rural area, and for nearly a year and a half now I have been battling with constant disconnects, speed changes etc. on my broadband line.
    Open reach have been out to the property several times, always locate and fix a minor fault on the line somewhere and then report back to BT that the problem is fixed. A couple of days later...
    Anyway - I'm not sure if my line is totally at fault here, which is why I'm posting in the broadband section. This past week, my dowload speed has been less than 1Mb, despite my line averaging 2.5ish and able to hit 4 if I'm lucky.
    A quick check on the wholesale speedchecker shows my IP profile is 1.01, and:
    "For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.4 Mbps-1 Mbps."
    This used to show 4.
    My current router stats are as follows:

    18 hours since I was told to reset my home hub - the line has been up longer than that. 
    A call to customer services had me testing ethernet ports on my router, and checking to see "if I could go online", which was irrelevant to the problem. I'm not sure if the person I spoke too quite grasped the issue clearly. This long cycle of asking customer services for help, assurances that the speed will improve etc is getting really quite wearing. I understand that at the end of a rural copper wire I can't expect massive bandwidth, but I know my line can comfortably manage more than I'm receiving.
    I also know that I'm being fobbed off by call centre robots following a script which doesn't quite fit the problem in hand.
    Sorry to complain - I'm just not sure what the next step is. It's probably the line, but that performs sufficiently well to operate a phone. Bad weather causes noticable noise on it though, so I suspect one or two bad joints somewhere. They never manifest themselves when an engineer is here though!

    Done.

  • Sudden, complete power-down of iMac G5 PPC

    Here's the history: This is a 1.8GHz 20" PPC iMac G5 running 10.5.8. It is the one with the bad capacitors; I had them replaced just over two years ago, and the computer has mostly worked well since then. A short time before those repairs, I replaced the power supply. It has a hard drive which was installed (new) along with the capacitor repair.
    Just recently (past week or two) the computer occasionally just suddenly powers down completely. No warning, nothing odd happening right before, and complete, immediate power down. Usually will start right back up. Sometimes there is a loud, single tone (not the regular startup tone) as the power light comes on. Then the tone stops, the power light flashes several times, then comes on steady and the startup proceeds normally. Other times, it starts up normally. I tried to startup from the hardware test disc, but could not get it to do so. It would get to the screen with the little folder icon in the middle of the screen, then would just flash back and forth between a plain folder and the same one with a question mark. Had to do a safe startup to get it to just go back and open off the hard drive so I could remove the disc.
    Other than seeming a little slow sometimes, mainly in opening new browser windows, and some snow on the screen for a minute or two when initially powering up after it's been off for awhile, the computer seems to be working well. Aside from these new sudden power-downs, of course.
    I opened it up and...yeah, the replaced capacitors are bulging. More than half of them. So, questions: would it be normal for two-year-old capacitors to be developing problems like this? As far as I could determine, the repairs were done by a reputable service. If they are going bad, why? It was my impression at the time (from a considerable amount of reading on these and other discussion boards) that the reason the old ones failed is that they were defective. Many people (including myself) had failures of those after a much longer period of use than the two years I've had these. Is it possible the ones put in were bad too?
    And beyond that issue, is it possible/likely the power supply is bad again? I'm sure I used these boards (and the kind people who respond to questions!) at the time I replaced it to determine the problem in the first place, but I can't recall exactly what the symptoms were then, and in any case thought it best to start a fresh thread with all the other information about the computer.
    I'd love to just get a brand-new computer but it is not possible right now. I have three others that are even older, and shall have to rely on them if I can't count on the one I'm describing here. It'll be a real problem, so any insights or assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    It is possible that you got a bad bunch of caps agan, but it seems morel likely that it's the power supply as well this time.  Replacing the caps, as you know, is not cheap, it's a fiddly operation, replacing the power supply isn't as bad, but it does cost a bit.  You'll have to decide whether to bite the bullet and pay for repairs, or save up for a new Mac.

  • T61P - Won't Power Down - Win Installer Seems Broken Too

    Not sure which patch mucked up T61 but Vista Business SP2  will no longer shut down. When pressing power button or using   Win shutdown command, system hangs and eventually produces BSOD (BCCode 9f). Can't make much sense of mindump. Event viewer shows 2 critical errors related to Kernel-Power without additional comment; I believe this was an 'issue' before. 2308 errors in 7 days, 7639 warnings, most prominent event id  4676 Servicing Hotfix patches.
    sfc checked. no malware trace, hardware fine. Disabled nonessential start-ups but same result.
    Strangest thing; programs no longer install. Getting progress bar to 99% before installer hangs. No logs as far as I can tell. Baffled how this is all related..
    No restore points.
    Suggestions are most welcome.
    TIA
    Frank
