T500 unable to Power Off automatically

Hi,
I got a T500 recently and is running Windows XP SP2 (downgrade from Vista).
When I shut down the laptop, the power on (LED) indicator that is next to the battery LED does not switch off automatically and the screen stays on.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Philip.
Solved!

I updated the BIOS to the latest version and this seems to have solved the problem.

  • Unable to power off via init 5 on Solaris 10 5/09

    I installed Solaris 10 5/09 at my home PC. The mother board is Asus P5QL-EM. I have checked that all major hardware/chipsets are on HCL.
    Now I have problem power off the machine via 'init 5'. 'Init 5' will stop all services, sync file system then leaves the machine in a state of black screen, no keyboard response. But the machine is still powered on, fans are running.
    If I bring the system to single user mode by 'init s', then 'init5' from single user mode, sometimes I can power it off completely but not every time.
    I guess the problem is between the bios acpi interface and the kernel drivers, but just do know from where to start the investigation. Any idea?

    Sun's ACPI support is really sucks.
    After I applied the latest kernel patch 141415-09, the trick I found stopped working. Any attempt to power off the system will just end up with a black screen. The last message I saw before the screen went black was
    sync file system ... done
    I then tested the Solaris 10 on another of my pc, that is about 3 years old. After the installation without apply any patch or tricks, system can be powered off properly. However, once I applied patch 141415-09, "init 5" stopped working.
    All the pc I tested Solaris 10 here are able to be powered off properly by number of linux distro or even as simple as grub. So I created a work around it.
    I created a small jfs partition and installed just GNU grub(no the grub from Sun) on it, then install Solaris 10 on the second fdisk partition. I created menu.lst
    default saved
    timeout 5
    title Solaris
    savedefault 1
    rootnoverify (hd0,1)
    chainloader +1
    title Power off
    savedefault 0
    halt
    The idea is to use GNU grub chain load Solaris grub and set default menu entry to "Power off" at the same time. When I need to power off the system, I issue "init 6" to reboot the system, then GNU grub will power off the system and at same time it set the default menu entry back to "Solaris". So next time, when the system waked up on Lan by the magic packet, it will boot Solaris. The down side of this solution is that I last the ability to reboot system.
    It is really shame of Sun that as simple as grub is able to interact with ACPI and power off the system correctly.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT201401 unable to power off

    all of a sudden, I am not able to switch off. The on off button does not work anymore, I cannot make screenshots, I cannot switch off, I can ofcourse put on airplane mode, but will not save battery during the night and cannot have a black screen to save battery during the day, unless it turns black after 1 minute.
    I have tried pushing hard on the button, or pushing more on the left or on the right, but this does not help.

    If the button is unresponsive, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Turn off automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

    On Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I am unable to turn off automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to turn off auto updates for Add-ons and Search Engines.

    Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
    If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
    You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
    For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)
