Twist - BIOS 1.67 - random wake up

After 1.67 BIOS update Twist began to randomly wake up from sleep mode after 2-3 hours of sleeping. Also deep sleep (standby mode) stopped working. After revert to 1.63 (1.65 was also broken update (USB ports weren't working after sleep mode) and 1.66 just resolved that issue) everything goes back to normal.

Albert, go to http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032000 , which is the download site for the latest BIOS update. Scroll near the bottom of the page and you will find all the previous versions of the BIOS files that you can download. Just select the file and it should begin to download.

MBP Randomly Wakes Up With Lid Closed

Hi,
My Macbook Pro (OS 10.4.11) always randomly wakes up by itself after I closed the display lid. Is there anything I can do to remedy this? Thanks.

I get this too and it is really really annoying. Then, when I open the lid to try to put it to sleep again, it goes to sleep, so now it's doing the opposite: asleep with lid open and awake with lid closed. The real problem is that I can't wake it up! The other annoying thing is that with the lid closed some of my bluetooth devices i.e. wireless keyboard and mouse wake it up. Solutions?

Macbook randomly wakes up from sleep!

Hello,
I have a macbook 13" (white) and I use 10.5.2. When I set my macbook to sleep it does what it is supposed to. But it randomly wakes up. It does that when I am using the power adapter or battery. It even does it when I have the lid closed. It is really annoying, because I never know if it is going to stay asleep or not. Sometimes it wakes up at a certain time (19:00) and sometimes it simply wakes up whenever. I looked for messages in the consoles and it only showed that it went to sleep and woke up. Not why.
However, there is a message in the console that keeps coming up (every 10 seconds):
2/18/08 6:41:00 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent[13413]) posix_spawn("/Applications/CheckUp.app/Contents/MacOS/CheckUpAgent", ...): No such file or directory
2/18/08 6:41:01 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent[13413]) Exited with exit code: 1
2/18/08 6:41:01 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Is this normal? What is wrong with my mac?? Please help me...
P.S.: I do not have it scheduled to wake up in the preferences. I do, however use iSleep, but it is not started when this problem occurs.
And it did this with 10.5.1 too...

I'm going to make 2 assumptions: 1) you know it is going to sleep because you can see the little diode blinking on and off. 2) in the energy tab of the system preferences you don't have the computer configure to wake up at a particular time.
You could fiddle faddle about like this for days and never find it. I know - its why my hairline is receding Create a new account and when you put it asleep disconnect everything but the power cord and see if the computer still wakes up. If not you know the problem was one of your peripherals or something in your account. Still logged into the test account, start adding peripherals one at a time. If you wake up at any point you now have a suspect peripheral. If not, it is your account.

Z97 Gaming 7 - bios 1.6 , random SATA drives disappearing

Hello, today I updated the bios from version 1.5 to 1.6.
There is a problem, when i reboot the system, displays the message no drive to boot the system.
I have 3 drives, intel sad 520 with system, samsung ssd 840 evo and one normal hdd. Boot order, have changed, so i recover correct order and after the next reboot bios lost this settings. After several reboots, bios lost both SSD's and shows only question marks .
I disconnected all SATA drives, plugged in again, loaded the default settings, after that all disks get back but i lost my dvd-rom, bios also shows question marks. So i think its a random issue.
I switched mono to second bios (1.3) and all works fine, with 1.5 also was fine.
Is this a bug of the new BIOS or i've made something wrong?
BIOS 1.5 from the support site (no matter eu or global) won't run on Windows 8.1. the file downloaded by msi live update runs normally. Can somebody help and share BIOS 1.5 installer?
Regards
(sorry for my poor English)

1. Could you state clearly what is the original boot sequence of your HDD shown in the bios?
you mentioned that after you reset from Windows or from DOS then the sequence will changed?? how often will this symptoms happened.
2. If you only use the Intel SSD 520 + the Normal HDD (remove DVD and the Samsung SSD) , will you see the boot sequence lost issue?
3. What do you mean by the below?? you can't flash bios 1.5 in DOS mode??? please help explain in details

Orginal boot sequence:
1: SSD Intel 520 (system)
2: SSD Samsung 840
3: HDD
Mobo was traing to set Samsung at first place, but after disconnecting this drive, it put HDD on fist place. So i disconnected all other drives, and mobo shows only question marks in Intel SSD field.
I never had any problems with this intel SSD, it works perfect, samsung behaves the same way, it disappears randomly.
Sometimes all works correct, some times some drive is missing, it does not matter the restart is made on windows, dos, or on bios. Totally random.
When i switch to second bios (1.3) all works fine, only on 1.6 freaking out.
When i what start bios package from msi-support site windows shows "this app. can't be run on this system", thats all (there are 3 files i archive). File downloaded by msi-update starts normally (and this is only one exe file), unzip and run dos-mode update. Unfortunately, I removed the file with 1.5 downloaded by msi live update.
Maybe the bios package is dedicated to installing from usb-drive through m-flash ?
And on the windows can update only through msi-live update? I really do not know, I'm confused.

Screen randomly wakes when playing iPod

When I am playing music with the native iPod app the screen randomly wakes when the next song begins playing. It is not consistent but it is normally ~10 seconds or earlier into the next song that the screen wakes and the lock screen is displayed.
I am running 4.0.1 and the iPhone 4 is sitting on the desk when this happens (ruling out "are you pushing any buttons" comments!)
Anyone else experienced this?

I first noticed this issue when I upgraded my 3G to iOS 4. I later purchased an iPhone 4 and have seen this bug on every version of iOS: 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and now 4.1
It's so easy to reproduce, I can't see why it hasn't been fixed yet!
How are you able to reproduce it? I'm unable to, it's totally random. If I'm able to reproduce the problem I'd like to setup an appointment to take the phone in.
4.1 did not fix this issue for me by the way.

G5 randomly wakes from sleep usually near midnight-screen sometimes flashes

Since handing down my G5 to my mom, it randomly wakes from sleep. I always notice that it happens at night because then I can see the light from the display. Not sure if it happens exactly at midnight each night but its usually near then. I just get up and put it back to sleep and its usually fine until the next night.
Occasionally when this happens the screen will flash - it will flash the desktop, then a black screen - and on and on. The only thing I could think of that might wake it up was that I used to have it set to speak the time every hour, but I have turned that off. Any suggestions?

You might learn more about why that computer is waking up by launching the Console utility and looking for messages around that time. If you see messages that might be related but don't understand them or aren't sure what to do about them, post them here and someone may be able to help.

Mbp randomly wakes from sleep

For some reason, my mbp SR 2.2ghz stock model randomly wakes from sleep for no reason roughly 20 minutes after I put it to sleep. I am about 10 feet from the computer and do not touch it. Auto wake from bluetooth is off. I reset the video ram, ran onyx, and tried everything i could think of. Nothing is plugged in. No programs are running. How do I fix this?

Follow the instruction listed in this thread…
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1077308
… and return the results. There might well be an issue within Mac OS X and or the hardware which needs identifying and this will help Apple identify/comfirm their suspicions.
By the way, if you use a password to wake your MBP from sleep you will need to disable it so your MBP won't go back to sleep.

Twist BIOS 1.65 wake from sleep causes port replicator failure

Recently, I updated my Thinkpad Twist to BIOS 1.65. After the update, my Targus ACP70US USB 3.0 port replicator / dock (video, audio, Ethernet, USB hub) would not reconnect after waking from sleep. Unplugging and reconnecting the USB connector would do nothing. The only way to get the port replicator to work was to do a full reboot. I'm running Windows 8.1 x64.
I can confirm that this is a new problem specific to BIOS 1.65. Downgrading to BIOS 1.63 resolved the issue--the port replicator works fine & wakes from sleep properly with this BIOS revision. And yes, the Targus dock has the newest firmware & the Windows drivers for it are current...
I didn't bother trying to see if any other USB device would fail in this way or if it's something to do with this specific Targus device...
Maybe the following change may have something to do with the regression: - (Fix) Fixed an issue the computer might not resume normal operation from suspend state.

X121e randomly wake up from suspended status and real time clock error

Hi all
Previously I considered my x121e suffer from overheating issue and causes real time clock error (RTC). However, after more testing and investigation, I believe the problem is related to other hardware issues and I like to hear people opinion before sending the laptop back to Lenovo.
The machine goes into suspend status either pressing the power button or closing the lid from Windows7 (clean install) without problem. However, it would wake up itself randomly, "beep" twice and screen shows RTC and CMOS checksum error. This happen more often when I am holding the machine (i.e. some movement/vibration). I wonder:
- Is it the RTC battery problem, cause the RTC to wake up the machine?
- Other hardware failure?
The laptop has a clean OS installed/recovered. Latest 1.16 Bios installed. No USB or memory card attached. Ram replaced and not the cause.
Please advise
Howard

Hello,
I am unsure; you would have to contact Lenovo directly and find out how they handle this situation. They may want the ThinkPad X121e back so they can run thorough diagnostics on it, just in case the problem is something else. That way it gets fixed the first time.

Compaq Presario 1714EA (Laptop) (BIOS Update and/or Wake-on-Lan)

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if there is a way to update the BIOS on that Laptop or a way to make Wake-on-Lan work on this Laptop? Thank You

I'm fairly certain that there is not. HP locks out certain features from the BIOS, and there isn't much you can do to get them back.
Though I am an HP employee, I am not here as a representative for them. I am here of my own accord to help those requesting it.
Please demonstrate any appreciation for help with a kudos!

Macbook Pro random wake from sleep

Last September my MBP went to service for a dead fan, a corroded top case and a whine problem (which was not fixed!). Ever since the machine has been randomly waking from sleep. Sometimes just picking up the machine will make it wake up. But the big problem is that it often wakes up while in my bag during my daily transits! Obviously I am highly concerned for both the heat and the hard drive. I have just reinstalled the entire OS, reset the PRAM and SMC, but to no avail. The machine still acts the same way! What is going on? The machine is always safely in sleep (most of the time in hibernate mode) when this happens. I can clearly hear the fans and drives are off when I put it in my bag; so the problem is not that it's not going to sleep.
Any ideas?
P.S. I've got my Apple Care box just waiting to get registered... I seriously wished I wouldn't have had to use it so soon... Not to mention that my already recalled battery is not holding its charge, despite pmset reporting the status are Good/Good!

Hello there DaveWoo,
It sounds like your computer is occasionally restarting on its own when you wake it from sleep. There can be a number of reasons for this to happen, and I recommend you use the following article to help you resolve or isolate the issue. Its pretty thorough and has a lot of information.
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."

Has anyone experienced random wake/sleep cycles? (NOT random shut down)

I bought my macbook on August 1, 2006, and previously had a problem with my it randomly shutting down. I had that fixed in December. Now I'm having the opposite problem, essentially. Whenever I put my computer to sleep, it wakes itself up, waits a few seconds, puts itself back to sleep, waits a few more seconds, wakes itself up... a constant annoying cycle. It doesn't matter if I put it to sleep by closing the lid or by choosing "sleep" from the apple menu, it still does this. I thought that perhaps one of my applications was causing my macbook to wake itself up, but this happens even when no applications are in use and I'm completely disconnected from the internet. This is driving me CRAZY because the noise of it waking itself up keeps me awake, and having to close out of all of my applications and shut down every night or whenever I want to transport it is terribly bothersome. Plus... the fact that it is waking itself from sleep can't be positive! Does anyone have any advice? I'm going to take it into the mac store but I'm super busy and wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions until then.
Thanks!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I started having an almost identical problem. I would put the computer to sleep the screen would go black and seem to shutdown for a couple of seconds. Then the CD drive would make it's noise and the computer would wake up. I reproduced it with a clean install of OSX. If I had a password set on the computer and did not enter the password the computer would go to back to sleep and then repeat the process again and again.
The first day it happened I could reproduce it every time. Now it's not so constant. I need to get the CPU to around 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a few minutes and then put the computer to sleep by typing command-option-eject.
I suspect that there is a faulty cable or sensor. Conincidentally when the problem ocurred my bluetooth also seemed to "disappear" the computer could not detect the bluetooth module. That leads me to believe that there might be two cables one that is a case-open-close sensor and a bluetooth cable sensor and that they are getting pinched.

Since s230u Twist Bios rev. 1.57 Keyboard is Dead

Hello, Since the Bios Update 1.57 come out,
The Twist have massive Problems in near every Linux Distribution
Actually with rev 1.63 and the Versions before, you can reproduce this Bug by trying some Live Systems like Ubuntu or Fedora.
or try to install Ubuntu in EFI.
EFI Installation works but after a Reboot no Keyboard, Trackpoint or Touchpad working.
Touchscreen works.
After an Odysee with an Auto Rotation Bug, or Intel Rapid Start Bug, or Battery Problems this is the next Thing.
Nearly every 4 weeks a new Bios came out and brings more Bugs than fixes.
I Need Linux to Work with it, because a few special Programms for Ingeneering i use, work only with this OS.
Is this Bug established to Lenovo Tech support? and are they working on a Solution?
I have to tell that i´m not alone with this
-------->>>>>Ubuntu Bug
Input to know whats going on would be nice

Hello,
Every Lenovo ThinkPad S230u I have seen (my own, plus a handful in office supply stores around the US) has come with Windows 8 pre-installed and worked fine with that; I am not aware of any distribution of Linux that is officially supported on the unit, although that may vary from country to country.
You might want to try running Linux in a VM under Windows and see if that works, or perhaps trying a non-EFI installation of Linux, if possible.
Since this forum is primarily for user-to-user support, you will want to contact Lenovo support directly in your country to open a ticket with them if you would like the issue investigated.

Screen randomly wakes

Hi Guys,
Recently (possibly since the latest software rollout) my Z1 keeps waking from sleep. The screen will light up and then turn off again after the screen timeout. It happens on a regular basis (once every 15 minutes or so approximately)
I have uninstalled recently installed apps, tried disabling location settings, tried changing power settings, wifi settings, stamina settings and all to no avail .. it keeps on waking up randomly.
This is MOST ANNOYING at night when the light from the screen wakes me up too .... anyone got any ideas? I would appreciate some help here. If anyone from Sony reads these then please feel free to email me and I can provide more details if needed.
Thanks in advance,
John

I know that the screen wakes when you charge the phone and it reaches 100%.
But if its not during charging you may want to try running the phone in safe mode just to check if this could be cased by any app.
