Wake Up From Standby

I just added a MS wireless keyboard. Is there a way to wake up the Portege from standby from this keyboard? Now I have to open the lid and use the power button on the notepad. Before, I had settings that put the notepad in standby when I closed the lid. I changed that setting to do nothing when close the lid.
The notepad is set to go to standby after 15 minutes of non-use. This works fine but when I want to use it again I can't find a way to wake it up without opening the lid and using the power button.

I have read your posting 5 times now and I believe I have understand what you wrote but I am asking myself how you want to work on your Portege if you do not want to open the lid????:|
> …I can't find a way to wake it up without opening the lid…
You want to use notebook with closed lid or what? Do you use external display?

Satellite A300-1NO - Wakes up from standby mode

Hi all!
I have got a Satellite A300-1NO with Win XP pro.
The problem is, that the laptop wakes up from standby mode automatically after about 5 minutes.
I tried to unplug all cables (LAN, usb, etc) but the power plug, but it's the same result.
So what can cause this? What should I try?
thanks.

You should disable the Wake up on LAN function in BIOS and Windows.
Check the BIOS for this option!
You can disable this feature in Windows if you right click on the network card > properties > advanced > wake on LAN
I hope it works for you.

Satellite L850-13R wakes up from standby with no reason

My L850 wakes up from standby every 10-20 minutes and after some time goes to standby again.
All power options are set as they should be (that means no wake on battery and even no wake up on power).
Problem is that this is my business notebook and I moves around with me so I could expect HD errors, not to mention battery life (I found it with dead battery this morning).
I have the latest firmware available (1.60)...
Anybody else facing this problem ?

In case anybody has similar problems one of the solutions could be:
IN registry look for
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl \DumpFilters
where you'll find a list of drivers that can possibly prevent standby (dumpfve.sys seems to always be there so don't touch it).
For other drivers remove the programs that installed them (I had MfeEpeHb.sys) or
do something not recommended and remove the lines with drivers you're suspecting prevent successful hibernation).
Eg. modify DumpFilters from
[DumpFilters]
MfeEpeHb.sys
dumpfve.sys
to:
[DumpFilters]
dumpfve.sys
That did the trick for me.
Hibernation tested and works without any problem

Mac Mini wakes up from standby automatically

Hi,
My Mac Mini wakes up from standby automatically. Waking up via network is disabled and I use an Airport Extreme, a USB mouse (not from Apple) and a wireless Apple keyboard. OS X version is 10.5.8.
I have the Mac Mini since about 10 months now. Almost 1 month after I bought it, I had the this problem but thought I am doing something wrong or my wife has forgotten to turn it off
After a while it was OK. About 3 months later it startet waking up by itself again. I called Apple Care (although the 3 months support was over). They tried to help, but there was no progress. It waked up again and again. After about 1 month it was OK again without me having done anything, no installations, no system updates.
One week ago, the Mac found some updates at Apple and installed them. Since then I have again the problem! I contacted again Apple Care and again they could not help. They just want me to pay for an extension of the Apple Care package, although they could not help me in this case!
Now I want to try it myself getting support by people in this forum. I hope there is someone with experience about this case.
I am not much experienced with OS X, but I will try to answer questions that could help me resolve this problem.
BTW, I searched for a similar topic and found one ("My MacMini always wakes up from standby") but in that case the wake up feature is activated by the user. In my case this feature is deactivated, as mentioned above.
Thanks
Cheers

Hi,
sorry for the delay, but I was on a business trip.
@Bsteely: Sometimes it wakes up immediately because of loosing connection to the keaboard when I send it to sleep. I suppose at the beginning of the sleep mode it into sleep mode, the keaboard connection is closed, then the keyboard "thinks" there is a problem and sends a message to the mini and the mini just wakes up again showing that the connection to the keyboard was lost but established again! This even happened as I had unselected the checkbox "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake up this computer" in Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Advanced.
But there are also times when the mini does not wake up so quickly. It just wakes up after hours. I had a look at Console.app as you suggested. Very weird to me indeed Well there I found something like "Wake reason = OHC2" or "Wake reason = OHC1". Unfortunately I cannot find older logs there.
@Boece: Hi and thanks for helping!
Well, I will try the update as soon as I can. By now I have no external harddisk to first save my data before doing the big update. But I am going to buy one soon.
Well turning off the monitor is OK, but the harddisk can wake up anytime while the mini is turned on as the OS might need to do something from time to time. And I don't want my computer to consume electricity even if it is such a small one like the mini. I'm a kind of green dude (but not from Mars ). And the sleep mode is interesting for me as I have very often many different Internet sites and some applications running, so I don't need to close them before turning off and open all of them again when turning on the mini.
Regarding other IR devices: The only IR device now is the keyboard. I even took out the batteries and the mini still woke up over the night!
Thanks again for your support guys. Please let me know if you have any further information of ideas.

I reset nvram and pram.
Any advice? any chance to get informations by apple?

K1 wakes up from Standby randomly & Camera Force Close

I just bought my K1 last week from Best Buy Canada, and I updated to the latest firmware (Kernel 2.6.36.3, Build K1_A301_02_02_110930_CA).
Sometimes, when I put it on Standby via the Power button or Widget, it wakes up again after 10 seconds and shows the main Locked Screen with the date & time. Is something Sync-inc in the background and waking it up? I haven't yet installed anything new on it.
Also, sometimes, when I'm in the camera app, and I press the "take picture" button, it force closes. This happens constantly if I keep trying, until I reboot. The pictures seem to get taken/saved, but they don't show up in the gallery until I reboot.
Anyone else?

@Burger - I thought you were talking about my problem. But about your issue - if nothing works maybe you just should exchange your model for new? Maybe it's hardware problem in some serie, like e.g. 1000 devises, you know, factory failure or sth.
@aleafonthewind - I haven't got the problem with camera too.
About what you described - yes, random wakeups.
Normally, it should work like this: When you use your tablet and for that or other reason you stop for a while, you click the power button. After that tablet goes into standby mode and the screen is turned off. When you come back after 30 sec/1 min/30 min etc., doesn't matter, it should STILL be in standby mode with turned off screen.
But instead of this - after clicking the power button the tablet goes into standby mode and turns off screen, but after a while (as I experienced it was from few second to few minutes) it wakes up without any particular reason.
It looked to me like something, either software stuff like process, program, update etc., or hardware stuff, like a modul, processor or other component, wakes up the tablet. But why? Still don't know and still looking for an answer.
If anyone have any clue, even if you don't use K1 but maybe you observed similar issue on smartphone, laptop, please let us know, every idea could be useful!

My Pc doesn't wake up from standby (845PE Max2)

Hi,
I have Windows Xp Pro installed and when I stand by my computer I can't get it to wake up successfuly. The PC is powered up when I press the power button, but I don't get any video signal or USB power (both my keyboard and mouse are connected to USB ports, and they don't get power after waking up).
Any clue on this? What should I do to make it work?
And could it have something to do with installed software? Besides the drivers for the hardware on the end of this message, I have Norton Internet Security 2003 (antivirus + firewall), Nero ImageDrive and Daemon Tools (these are tools similar to VirtualCD, thus making new cd/dvd drives available on my system).
Best regards,

Hi,
I own a Chieftec full tower black case that came with a 360W power supply from Chieftec (with PFC). I know this isn't a "top of the line" power supply, but I think it is enough to handle my system.
Besides the power issue, what could influence this? I know that my PC handled well the standby feature, but this was before I made some changes (moved a CD burner to the Intel IDE bus and placed a hard drive on the Promise controller, replacing the CD burner).
Best regards,

Screen stays off after wake up from standby

So this happens most often when I have an external display connected, but has happened otherwise to me and my friend who has identical macbook.
usually, I'll connect the external display, then shut the screen on the macbook, then wake the macbook with an external mouse or keyboard, and use the macbook with the external display. When I'm done and want to disconnect the external display, i'll unhook it, and then open the screen on the macbook. when I open the screen, the standby light (the one that pulsates when in standby, and stays bright when screen is off and computer is not in standby) turns off, signifying that the computer has woken and the screen is running, but the screen remains off. the function keys for volume or contrast make nothing appear on the screen, and it is completely off, rather than just showing a black screen. if I shut the screen when this is happening, the standby light turns back on, and upon opening screen again, the standby light turns off again, but still, no display. it seems the only way to alleviate the problem is to hold the power button for 5 seconds. I've tried resetting the pram, and everything else you can reset upon booting, as well as doing the thing where you take the battery out, disconnect power, and hold power button for 7 seconds. nothing stops it from happening.
If i open the screen before disconnecting the external display, it usually works fine, but sometimes it happens without an external display ever being present.
any ideas?
-Tim

I use a dual monitor system at work all the time. The best thing to do is to disconnect the second monitor while your computer is still awake and open. It doesn't like it when you put it to sleep and then disconnect. It's probably like putting toothpaste in the ear of your best friend when he's drunk and passed out. Then when he wakes up he wonders why he can't hear out of one ear.

Satellite M70-394: WLan does not work after wake up from standby

Hi all....
I have a problem with my WLan connection and hope one of you may be able to help. Starting my computer from off there isn't a problem with the WIFI connection but if I put the computer into standby by closing the lid and then restarting it from there the light comes on briefly for wi fi but then goes off and the only way I can connect is through a cable.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi
I have read in the forum that some similar "Wlan standby" issues were fixed by BIOS update.
I think you should compare the BIOS version on the notebook with the BIOS which is available on the website. If there is a new update try to upgrade it
Be sure that you have chosen the right BIOS.

Computer Won't Wake Up From Standby After Installing 7520 Printer

I installed a new 7520 on my desktop PC (running XP Home). The printer works fine but when the computer goes into sleep mode, I can't wake it up - forcing me to reboot the PC. Sleep mode on the computer worked before the printer install.
If I keep the printer turned off, waking from sleep mode on the computer WILL work properly.
How can i fix this?

Hey Zyzx,
I have seen this type of condition before in a USB connected printer. How do you have the printer connected to the Windows XP Home Edition desktop PC? (USB or Network connected)
If the printer is connected by a USB cable, then you may try a different USB port on the PC and uninstalling/re-installing the USB Controller on the PC.
To perform the uninstall/re-install of the USB controll follow the steps listed below.
Boot into Safe Mode on the PC
Click on the Start menu of the PC
Right Click on My Computer
Select Manage out of the list
Select Device Manager in the list on the left
Right click on the section titled "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and select Properties
Uninstall the section and restart the PC to perform the re-install
I will look into this issue more for you and get back with you.

Help! my computer won't wake up from standby!

This problem just started. If I put it into standby, or if it goes into standby, it either takes forever to wake up, or it won't wake up and I have to reboot. It used to wake up immediately if I hit any key. Now I've tried keys, mouse clicks, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Esc, pushing the On button. Sometimes it will f-i-n-a-l-l-y give me the login page. Sometimes it won't.
Thanks for any help!
