X120e 0596 screen wont wake up after sleep mode until unplug it and remove the battery

I recently purchased a Thinkpad X120e (0596) and am genneraly very happy with it however when it goes to sleep the screen does not wake up when the laptop does. when i wake it up i hear the fan spin up but the the screen remans powered off. ive tried waiting several minutes and it still doesnt wake up, ive also tried holding the power button for several (more than 5 ) seconds to force it to power off fully then start it again and the screen still doesnt wake up. the only way i can get it to work again is to make sure to unplug it and remove the battery for several seconds then i can get it to boot with the normaly expected complaints from windows after an abnormal shutdown.
I have the latest updates from lenovo and microsoft installed including the latest firmware. I like the laptop so i would rather report the problem and provide any information neccisary to find a resolution than have to return it. Ive seen this problem with other laptops before and know its probably a bug in the firmware thats not waking up the GPU is ther any tool i can use to provide the debuging info or any more direct way for me to report the bug I tried calling customer support and they told me they told me my only option was to return it and they could not report or record the issue.

Same issue here, confirmed many times in linux, will likely recur at some point now that I am on windows (8). The event log from the HAL says "The platform firmware has corrupted memory across the previous system power transition. Please check for updated firmware for your system" even after successful suspends, so who knows what happens when it fails. Since it's video-related, the problem could as well be in AMD's driver (also hinting at this is the fact the system periodically freezes when the screen is simply turned off from being idle).
Also worth noting is the fact suspend seemed to work just fine on my system with the factory BIOS (1.08), with the issue appearing only in newer ones (the oldest one still available for download is already affected, and I am running the latest one). There are also slight differences in the issue between the legacy and UEFI boot modes, but none of them mitigate it.

X505-sp8915r wont wake up after sleep mode

My laptop wont wake up after sleep mode (suspender). The laptop does everything it should like the red lights go off but when i hit the power button just the power red light goes on... The keyboard backlights if I try using it but the monitor wont show anything and the hard disc red light doesn't even blink.
Hibernation seems to be working fine. I had to change all that will make my computer enter sleep mode to hibernate. But I would like to get that fixed. I read something about the bios and my version is "BIOS Version: V1.40. 12/04/09.

Qosmio X505-SP8915R
The BIOS is up to v2.2 now. It's possible that will help.

Memory RAM upgrade won't wake up after sleep mode

i just recently purchase a pair 16GB RAM of crucial CT2K8G3S160BM for newegg.com. Yeesterday i try put this on my macbook i7 intel 2.9 processor that crucial said is compatible. but found out everything was good until i close my mac lid for hibernate. What happen is, it won't wake up no matter what i do until a way of reset SMC. BTW i try stick by stick to plug in together with my original 4gb RAM together found out 1 was ok and other one was not. But somehow why the info of hardware show that memory ram 16GB was installed and was OK. Everything was run smooth even booting. The only problem is won't wake up after sleep mode. I already try reset smc, pram, delete startimage, delete powermanagement.file and also sudo hibernate 0-7. Did anyone had this same issue of me. I'm my curiousity will it be the bad ram or software problem.

i just google around and found this two both crucial ram. Both spec are the same but different model no.
CT102464BF160B 16GB and mine is CT2K8G3S160BM are this 2 same? but both same spec.

Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

I think I have the same problem. The whole sequence is:
* Put MacBook Pro to sleep by closing lid.
* After some period of time that varies, I notice sleep LED is no longer pulsing.
* The case is VERY hot.
* When I open the lid, the display stays black.
* No sequence of keys or closing/opening lid wakes display.
* Only way to recover is to power cycle.
* Problem is VERY intermittant -- I do not know how to reproduce it at will. AppleCare service had it for a whole week and couldn't reproduce it, whereas for me it occurs once every 1 or 2 days.
Actions:
* AppleCare service replaced the main logic board in early June, but it didn't help.
* I did a clean erase and install, but it didn't help.
* AppleCare service had the unit for a full week in July and couldn't reproduce the problem, so they returned it and it still had the problem.
I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, don't know model other than M-RBB93. I'll UNset "Allow Bluetooth to wake..." and will also turn off the bluetooth mouse before closing lid. I'll post my results.
Meanwhile, please let me know if anyone determines a solution!

My powerbook G4 12" wont wake up after sleep anymore all the time!

Hi there
I've got a problem with my 12 " pb. quite often it wont wake up anymore after sleeping mode. I then press the "p", "r", comand, and "alt" together with the power button and usually that works. sometimes I need to do that 3 or more times untill it finally starts up again. I ran the hardware test, repaired everything I could but it still does it and I cannot figure out why.
Do you have any ideas what could cause this problem and if so what I could do to solve it?
Thank you very much

Luca:
If you leave your computer on all the time and allow it to sleep instead of shutting it down, you should completely shut it down every now and then (I do this weekly) and then start up in Safe Mode, log in, empty Trash and Restart normally and log in.
Let me know if this helps.
Cheers

Monitor won't wake up after sleep mode

Does anyone know how to fix the monitor, so it starts up after sleep mode? When my computer comes out of sleep mode the monitor doesn't always come on. Does anyone else have this problem and do you know the cause? The computer is only a few months old and hadn't had any problems.
Thanks,
Shaneil

Well my solution may not be the most cientific one but it works for me (at least until the real solution comes to the public)...
My computer has the problem that when it goes to sleep mode she never comes back... but it the screen that does not comes back... all the system is workin in behind (its like the brightness level was set on the less power possible) so i had to turn off the computer and had to do for a long time some times i had to wait that the computer cooled off a little and then try again to turn it on... I some tried things that the support page of apple said it could be... but did worked out... i dont know i think is a problem over 2 factors...
1. heating (the screen generates to many heat but, TO MANY!)
2. tiger os the OS "sleep mode" (it knows that the screen its heating a lot and tries to go to sleep to prevent over heating and damage)
So based on this i tried conecting a external monitor to the computer while she was unable to "awake" (or to show some thing in the screen)... and it worked whit no problem at all... so my conclusion was to prevent the over heating (1st factor) and the sleep mode (2nd factor)... so I deactivated the sleep mode setting up the computer to a never sleep mode... and to prevente the over heating well I use a low bright and when i need more brightness (to se the colors of what im doing or some thing like that) I use high brightness... when I away I set the brightness level to no brightness so there is no over heat and no sleep mode (cus if it is deactivated and it over heats it will go to sleep anyway...
Soooooo....
1. deactivate Sleep mode...
2. Activate a Screen saver...
3. And remember to contro your brightness your self... and turn it off when you are not using your computer...
well i hope it works for some body :P cya...

Can't wake up after sleep mode

Mac owner for 2 months now and have had no problems till today...had to reboot to wake up from sleep mode...one time occurrence or start of an issue?

That's an important one. Let it finish normally until you are fully rebooted and things are stable.
Whenever I get a firmware update like that one, I follow nine steps to ensure my computer is in top shape. Basically, they represent checking the disk for errors, fixing the errors, fixing the permissions, and setting the default memory values to whatever was in the firmware.
1) shutdown the computer
2) push the power buttom and as soon as you hear the chime, hold the option key and don't let go
3) when you see your boot options, let go of the key and select recovery partition (Lion only)
4) select disk utility from the options, then highlight Macintosh HD, do a repair the disk and repair permissions
5) now click the apple icon in the upper corner and shutdown
6) pull the power cord and hold the on button for 15 seconds
7) plug it back in, and find the option, P, command, & R keys
8) hit the power button and as soon as you hear the chime, hold all four keys (it takes two hands)
9) wait until you hear the startup chime twice and let go, allow the computer to finish booting
I'm not recommending you do it, it is just what I do. Good luck.

PowerBook enters sleep mode with charger on and with new battery in Full

Hi all,
My powerbook enters in Sleep mode when it has a lot of energy. I have the powerbook with the charge on and battery in full charge and it still goes to sleep mode. It happens even when I'am working a lot with the computer. It appears that when a left my computer go to sleep over night the next day e goes a lot to sleep even when I'am working with the computer. I have tried to use just the charger, and just de battery but the error continues. I havemy power setting and it is e best performance (and it never goes to sleep in this mode).
I can only avoid this if I never put the computer to sleep, because I i put it i will start putting it self to sleep.
I have bought a new battery (7 months) and a new charger (2 month) recently, could be this the case?
What is happening to my computer?
It is my computer to ald and tired and needs to sleep a lot :/ ?
Thanks for any help!

The date only goes to 1970-01-01 if e click in power on without the battery and the AC adapter.
If I remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter e wait many minutes and put back on the battery and the AC adapter a switch the power back on the date staid the same.
I have notice one other think, some times the new battery that a bought in apple store does not charge (a have to remove the AC adapter a plug back in for it to charge), the AC adapter is correctly plug-in but it does not charge. I am begging to suspect that it is something wrong the the hardware (or the battery or the charger) sell by apple store.
Is the any place for replace bad hardware still in warranty in apple store?
What is the place to contact apple suport for this matters?
Thanks!

Screen won't wake up after sleep mode

I bought the new Macbook Air 13" a month ago, and I got a problem with my screen display recently. This is the second time in a week. It went to sleep mode and when i opened the lid, the screen was still black as usual and no matter what i pressed (I tried touching and clicking the track pad as well), nothing happened. So i ended up pressing down the power button to restart it. The only thing I could do was to report this problem as it just turned unresponsive after the sleep mode.
Has anyone encountered the same problem as I did?

I'm having this exact same issue with my wife's 11" MacBook Air (July 2011) we just bought it last weekend and she's frustrated with the issue.
I have none of these issues with my 13" MacBook Pro (March 2011) which frustrates her even more, she wanted the Air because of the portability, but she's not very happy with this issue.
I imagine if it were a bug with Lion it would be present on my MacBook Pro, right? so I can only think is a firmware issue.
Hope Apple releseas a fix very soon!

My laptop wont wake up from sleep mode

Hello, I hope you can help me!
I have this problem: When I set my laptop to sleep mode or I close my laptop (I have set "sleep" asi action after closing the laptop) it just wont wake up... I open in - nothing, I try to push the button for starting - I can hear it booting, but after few seconds the laptop is quiet again and nothing happens.
All I can to do is trying to turn it on over and over again and after 10 tries it finally starts. Sometimes helps plugging or unplugging the charger.
I don't have this problem with hybernation mode.
I own ThinkPad E535.
I hope it's Windows 7 problem or something with drivers. Or do you think it's a problem with BIOS? I hope not.
Thank you for advices!
(I'm sorry for my poor English, it's not my first language.)

Hit me over the head enough times with a fact and it will sink in.
In the front right corner where your right wrist sets when typing there is a light in the dot of the i in Thinkpad. When the computer is asleep, what is that light doing? When you try waking up the computer and the screen is black, is the light doing anything?
Do you have the power manager installed?

MBP 10.6.4 wont wake up from sleep mode

My MBP is connected to an external monitor and i keep the lid slightly open to keep it running cool (last MB I had overheated and caused battery issues, so was advised to keep lid slightly open). It works fine until it goes to sleep mode, after which it wont wake up. This is annoying as I lose data on documents Im working on as I have to force it to restart.
Is there a solution to this ridiculous issue?

I came across these two useful links. The problem is not gone but is less frequent now.
http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2009/11/16/fixing-a-nasty-wi ndows-7-mac-pro-sleep-and-hibernation-problem.aspx
http://www.troublefixers.com/macbook-does-not-hibernate-sleep-in-windows-7-insta lled-in-dual-boot-with-bootcamp/
John Robbin's solution of resetting PRAM/NVRAM addressed the problem but only temporarily in my case. The problem would recur in an hour.
Abhishek's blog address the opposite problem, but his solution of not having any programs in windows start up helps. I removed skype from the startup.
I also started using Parallels to bring up the bootcamp windows and that too provided a workaround.
Looking for a cleaner solution.

NEW iBook and doesn´t wake up after sleep mode!

Hi,
I´ve just started to use my new iBook G4 3 days ago, added my user information, and for a little while the wireless internet connection. Then, I closed the display to put it on sleep mode.....and.............it DOESN´T WAKE UP!!!
The hard disk seems to start up correctly (the fan is on and the disk noise is ok), the Caps Lock on the keyboard is on too, but as soon as I reboot the computer, a strange beep (like a phone tone!) starts up, then the sleep light signal flashes but the screen stays black.
I think that by now I´ve tried the most solutions (as far as I can having the black screen) I´ve read on the troubleshooting page and the recommendations posted in this Discussion chat... The iBook remains partially dead.
Help!!!

ummm, even when its not plugged in to the power adapter? i find that when my ibook annoyingly doesnt wake from sleep, its usually because i connected/disconnected something while it was sleeping. even plugging in the power adapter seems to affect it. the way i fix it is to put it to sleep again, and then open the lid. its worked every time so far.
oh, and apprantly 'manually' putting the ibook to sleep does the trick (ie from the apple menu)

Help me!!!!!!My iBook 800mhz sometimes can't wake up after sleep mode...!!

Hi everybody. I'm a happy mac user sinc 2001, and i have since 2004 an ibook G4 800mhz. Ok, everything good, the problem is that from today if i leave the ibook in stop mode for half an hour for exemple it can't wake up, everything seems dead and i have to push the power button for 4 second and then turn the computer on again. If the sleep mode duration is about 5 minutes ok, otherwise it can't wake up. whyy???? what is the problem? i reset pram, nvram and pmu, but nothing. everything else works perfectly, but this is a very important problem for me because i risk to lose my work because i have always to reboot the system.
Pleas help me!!!
Ps i'm sorry for english, but i'm italian...
thanks a lot

annihilator,
Quoting from my own post:
""It could be a PMU problem. The PMU is actually a tiny computer within the computer. It's official designation is PMU99.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/DeveloperNotes/Macintosh_CPUs-G4/12inchPowerBookG4/2_Architecture/chapter_3_section4.html
"Power Control IC
The power manager IC in the 12-inch PowerBook G4 is a Mitsubishi M16C/62F microprocessor, also called the PMU99. It operates with its own RAM and ROM. The functions of the PMU99 include:
*controlling the sleep and power on and off sequences<</div>
*real time clock
*controlling power to the other ICs
*monitoring the battery charge level
*controlling battery charging
*supporting the interface to the built-in keyboard (AND TRACK PAD)
The PMU99 also provides the hardware interface to the keyboard. Software in the PMU99 IC scans the keyboard, then sends the data to the system in packets like those from the ADB. To the system, the keyboard behaves as if they were ADB devices""
Try resetting it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
If that doesn't work try what I call a deep PMU reset.
Pull all power including the battery, push the power button to remove residual charge in soft start capacitors.
Then walk away from it for at least 10 hours.
This has worked for Macs with the PMU99 since the G3 Desktops and especially the G4 Towers (Sawtooth, GI, MD, etc)
Also:
i had a problem with trackpad that became crazy, but i unmount it from the case i clean it and now it works better than perfecty.
Could you explain this more clearly? You opened up the iBook, then
i unmount it from the case
so you removed the trackpad part itself from the upper case? the trackpad part and associated circuitry? Was it glued to the upper case? in that kind of little well it sits in? But you didn't break the plastic welds that hold the "clicker" part to the upper case?
i clean it and now it works better than perfecty.
Which part was dirty?
