X120e sleep / hibernation issues

I bought this machine about 4 months ago and as far as i remember the sleep / hibernation has never worked correctly.
So i have it set to sleep when the lid is closed, although when I close it I can see the green leds on the front near the track pad never moves into sleep. It just kind of hangs and when i open the lid the screen remains black forcing me to shut off the system by holding down the power button. I thought this would be resolved with newer firmware but doesn't look like it.
Windows 7 SP1
Model - 05962RU
BIOS - 1.14

Hello,
I wonder if there might have been some sort of problem with a corrupt setting in the operating system or with one of the drivers responsible for handling sleep or hibernation.
As part of troubleshooting this issue, did you try reloading the operating system from the recovery partition (or the recovery media) adn then running Windows Update and ThinkVantage System Update to get the ThinkPad X120e fully updated?

Hardware sleep, hibernation and standby mode tracking

Is there a way to find out that the hardware user is on is about to go into sleep, hibernation or standby mode? I need to be able to save data to the server before the hardware temporarily shuts down. I can't seem to find anything online that addresses this issue. I want to create a code similar to the Windows Media Player that kicks in a warning before changing modes. Thanks.

Hello avwood:
You might have add on running on your Google Crome Browser . Just dissable all your Google Crome add ons. See if that does trick. If no add ons are enabled then just un install it and down load a new copy. Then see if your computer goes to to sleep. If neither one these methods work. Then most likely it is being run by U.S.A. government spy crape back ground hiden program. I wouldn't recommend using it in the first place. frrw

Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode

Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode then restarts to try to start the Back up process again and again vicious cycle. I have made sure all settings are turned off. I have done one or two backups since the initial first backup. My HDD is almost full and I want it backed up before I try to clone/mirror the drive to upgrade it to a 1TB HDD. Thank you in advance.

Set the Energy Saver (in System Preferences) to Never. Then reset the NVRAM, as follows:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
Release the keys.

Can 4s be set to a screen sleep/hibernation mode?

Can the 4s be set to a sleep/hibernation mode?

What do you mean? You can already set the time frame for sleep: Settings>General>Auto-Lock.

How do i awaken from a deep sleep/hibernation

I have many eMacs in a library I run at my school. On occassion they go into a deep sleep/hibernation that the only way I can awaken them is to pull the plug and then put plug back in and restart. They do not even respond to on/off button being depressed for 30 seconds. There must be a command or better way then unplugging. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. Of course I have tried to depress keys and combination of keys to wake but to no avail. The power light on the eMac "throbs" bright/low and no response when in the hibernation mode. At one station 6 eMacs are connected to a hub and the hub goes to an ethernet hook up to a T1 line through our school server. We have many of these types of arrangements throughout the school. Not all of the eMacs do this hibernation however, and is very puzzling has to when and why ones goes into the "deep sleep." I guess i am concerned with screen burn in and when the Mac is in a multiple user log in screen, the screen saver will not activate. Thanks and if you can think of anything else i would appreciate all suggestions.

Mac Pro with Dell UP2414Q Sleep Wake Issue

Hi,
I have *two* Dell UP2414Q displays connected to a new Mac Pro, both using Display Port 1.2 (MST) setting in order to get 4K @ 60Hz.
Works fine. Except Google Chrome which is really lame at redrawing all these pixels when you scroll up/down.
The issue is: when the displays go to sleep for a longer period of time (actually it's probably when the Mac Pro itself has gone to sleep) and I wake the system up, the Dells sometimes won't wake up!
And if I start fiddling with the display buttons I will get a half image (left half of the screen). Same problem on each display except sometime it's the first one that doesn't wake up, sometimes it's the second one and sometimes it's both. Unfortunately the situation where they both wake up is extremely rare
Has anyone else had similar troubles?
Note: I have had similar sleep wake issues with just one UP2414Q connected.
I'm running OS X 10.9.4 (of course).
I'm also having a 3rd smaller display connected though a DVI adapter. That one wakes up 100% of the time. I previously had 3 of these and they did always wake up all 3 without issues.
-Francois.

I have this issue with the UP2414Q monitor and my new Mac Pro . . . . . and then some.
I started by losing the right half of the screen on wake up. After about two months of use, my monitor has developed a fault where both sides of the monitor are displayed but at seemingly very different calibrations. The left half is contrasty and the right half seems to be correctly matched to my working profile. This is using the display port connections. HDMI doesn't have this problem but it also won't run at 60Hz, which was an important factor in my choice of this monitor.
At this point I contacted both Apple and Dell. Although I have had quite a few different Apple support staff over a period of a week or so, they did keep good notes, were very patent and seemed to take a genuine interest into trouble shooting it. I cannot say the same for Dell. At first they did ask questions and did the right thing by sending a replacement. It worked fine on display port, then on HDMI but when I connected it back to display port the split screen problem occurred on the brand new replacement one too. After a day of fiddling with connections it went back to displaying correctly with all connections and has not reverted but it does now have the dead right halve on wakeup more frequently than before. I reconnected the original monitor but that has the split screen problem and I can't find a way of getting it to go away. It is unusable.
This incident with the replacement monitor was five days ago. In that time I have tried to contact Dell support by the original e-mail of the technician that initially helped and by phone, through the support number. The email gets the repeated response "Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your email. I have left for the day, hence my reply will be delay". It happens in the mooring or the afternoon. A phone call to Dell's support number always starts with a promise to be transferred to the technician dealing with my case and, without fail ends by me being left on hold indefinitely with a terrible one minute audio loop followed by a repeated promise of the next available agent. I once waited over 30 minutes, just to test it. I live in Australia but this was clearly an international call centre. Dell obviously have no intention of dealing with my case. They will have to talk soon though because I still have an extra one of their monitors.
Unless there is a firmware update for this monitor, I would strongly advise against buying one for a Mac, or any Dell product for that matter.

How i get by with the sleep, pause issue after 1.0.2 update

ok. i'm sure you guys are aware of the ipod sleeping/pausing issue after updating your ipod to 1.0.2. my ipod will pause whenever it is in the jensen dock station and the green battery indicator shows up. whenever i use the dock or remote to unpause the song, a few seconds later, it pauses again. so instead of using the dock or remote to play, unpause, whatever, i connect the ipod to the dock and use the wheel to navigate and 'only' use the play/pause button on the ipod itself to kick off the playing of music. if i go back to the remote, the ipod pauses. if i only use the menu and play/pause button on the wheel, my songs do not pause. it sure was nice using the remote before 1.0.2. i mean, it did come with the dock for my remoting pleasure but alas, i shall wait on the next update. hope this helps someone.

I will have to try that... I took my iPod to work today and plugged it into my JBL docking station and it was skipping. I did notice it seemed to go to sleep more often when I used the remote... There's a whole other forum on this maybe you could check out too. But it's really annoying and I hope Apple comes out with a fix soon! I will definitely try to use the iPod wheel tomorrow and not the remote.

Sleep/Hibernation Problem

After I pause my iPod and it goes into sleep/hibernation mode. Isn't it supposed to "awaken" at the place it was before it went to "sleep"?
Well, my iPod automatically goes to the main menu after it "wakes up" from the sleep/hibernation mode. This is really getting annoying since I listen to podcasts that are over a few minutes in length.
When happens it makes me restart the file, I was listening to a few moments before, from the beginning.
Please help me!

Connecting external NEC PA271W via Displayport cable to MBPr has sleep/wake issues

I am experiencing strange sleep/wake issues after connecting my NEC PA271W 27'' external monitor via a mini-displayport to displayport cable to my MBPr.
Waking up from sleep mode, the resolution of my monitor would be set to 1440x768 instead of the proper 2560x1440 and I always have to go to system settings to get it right.
NEC claims this may be due to cable issues and Apple using a "wrong" mini displayport standard but I have tried 4 different cable manufacturers and this is just strange.
Anybody else experiencing similar issues?

Windows 7 Restart issues after waking from sleep/hibernating on y430

I've installed windows 7 and installed all drivers but one driver that no one on this message board has solved yet (it is detected as an unknown device - ACPI/CPL0002) When I wake the computer from sleep and hibernating the computer cannot restart properly. It would stop the hard drive after windows has finished the shut down process but the power lights will stay on. I then have to hold the power button down until the system powers off.
I have updated my y430 to the latest bios but this problem still persists.
Any idea on why this is?
Thanks

A305D-S6886 New Hard Drive - Can't Wake From Sleep, BIOS issue

Well I hope this is the right area and this gets listened to, I use sleep often... >.<
Laptop is a A305D-S6886 Satellite bought from ToshibaDirect.
So I dropped my laptop, and the HDD is busted. No biggy right? So I bought a new one. Spefically this one. It is a Western Digital, my Dell laptop friend used it, good reviews, exact equilivant to the one I use. Great!
So I add it right in, easy enough. Boot up the laptop, install Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. Install all of my software, Toshiba software, copy all files, all updates, etc. It is done!
Go to school next day, and while using laptop it feels funny, like it keeps hanging. Why? It hangs when I try to resume from sleep/standby OR hibernation! That won't do. I do a bit of Googling. Tried that hotfix for 1 TB or bigger SATA hard drives, didn't work. More Googling shows this is an issue with Win7 in the beta/release client, both 32 and 64 bits. Nothing on the RTM or build 7600 except for the 1 TB or bigger SATA hard drives. Hm, maybe the HDD is broken?
With into Ubuntu 9.10 x64 Desktop edition, opened up wonderful thing called "Disk Utility." It said the following: Disk was healthy, no bad sectors, and Self-test past. Well then let's run a through SMART test! I did, and it still passed. Hm, hard drive seems perfect, so what can I do? Fiddle with BIOS settings of course! (I have version 2.10)
So the only option I could find related to SATA or HDDs was SATA mode, which had the follow options: Compatibility or AHCI. It was on AHCI, so let's try Compatibility! That didn't work, still crashed. What is next? Let's install OEM Vista that came with my computer! (Vista SP1 x64 bit)
So yay, it is done! Let's put it to sleep! What's this a crash? Then it is OS independent! Now to decide which hardware it could be: BIOS, or hard drive. Next up: stick it in my desktop and install Windows 7!
So yay, w7 has installed! Put it to sleep, it works fine! Wow what could it be? I didn't have an OEM partition before, because of the new driver, could it have been an update, or maybe the BIOS? Clean install and back on laptop!
3rd W7 install later, it crashes on sleep! OEM and software/drivers is out, so that leaves BIOS! D: This took me 2 days, and I don't think I missed any possibilities. I am pretty technically able and confident, so if you have any idea what else it could be, please reply! I use sleep often! D:
P.S. I want more options in the BIOS! D:
EDIT: Maybe some specs may help:
One of the 1st A305-S6886 made I think:
AMD Turion x2 RM-72 at 2.1 GHz
4 GB DDR2 RAM at 800 mHz (Maybe 667 mHz)
ATI HD 3470 and HD 3200, in "CrossFire"
BIOS version is 2.10
Screen size is 15.4
Chicony WebCam is broken, due to cable tearing in the case (I voided my warrenty D
This exact hard drive
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate currently installed
EDIT 2: Also, it SOMETIMES seems to resume from sleep, specifically after long periods of times in sleep mode.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like something else besides the hard drive was "busted" when you dropped it. Does it do this when you use hybernation as well as when you use sleep?
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Resume from Sleep / Hibernate issues

Hi all,
First time poster. I have a Helix and am running into a heap of resume from sleep (and hibernate) issues.
The sleep issues tend to happen overnight - I do not have this issue if I sleep the machine and then wake it up 5-10 minutes later (e.g. moving between meetings at work). However, when I attempt to wake the machine up in the morning, it fails to resume from sleep, and instead boots from scratch.
Typically, when the unit is in this state, the status led on the lid is rapidly blinking (which I believe means that it's trying to enter sleep) Since there is nothing in the Windows event log during the overnight period, I'm wondering whether it's trying to enter a deeper sleep mode and failing.
This happens every second day or so. Which is really frustrating as a tend to lose some work.
I tried enabling hibernate as a trial, to see if that would avoid the issue, but resuming from hibernate fails as well. At least I get a Windows event log entry for this (source: kernel-power. The unit fails to resume from hibernate with status 0xC000000D)
I have the September 10 BIOS update, and am running Windows 8.1 Enterprise (though I had the issue with Windows 8 as well).
Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this?
Regards
AC

Windows 8: In Windows 8, the default shutdown behavior puts the system into hybrid shutdown (S4) and all devices are put into D3. Remote wake from hybrid shutdown (S4) or classic shutdown (S5) is completely unsupported. In Windows 8, NICs are explicitly not armed for wake in both the classic shutdown (S5) and hybrid shutdown (S4) cases because users expect zero power consumption and battery drain in the shutdown state. This behavior removes the possibility of spurious wakes when explicit shutdown was requested. As a result, Wake-On-LAN is only ever supported from sleep (S3) or hibernate (S4) in Windows 8.
Note that in Windows 8, hybrid shutdown (S4) stops user sessions but the contents of kernel sessions are written to hard disk. This enables faster boot.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373229(v=vs.85).aspx
From the Helix User Guide:
•Slow blinking: The tablet is in sleep mode.
•Fast blinking: The tablet is entering hibernation mode or sleep mode.
That was my reason for clarifying if hybrid-sleep was enabled; since it's the default setting and you noted that the LED was blinking fast. Does the LED ever stop blinking fast?
There can/may be multiple log entries during a normal sleep operation, because "the system uses the lowest-powered sleep state supported by all enabled wake-up devices." If one of those devices wakes the system (this does not mean power on) then the logs will report the devices and will likely return to a another level of sleep, but this does not mean full power loss or empty logs.
If the system has successfully entered sleep state, then you should see the following message in System Event logs.
Event 42, Kernel - Power
This system is entering sleep.
Sleep Reason: Button or lid
When the system is successfully woke you will see a System Event Log similar to this:
Event 1, Power - Troubleshooter
The system has returned from a low power state.
Sleep time: 2013-10-08T01:42:25.XXXXXXXX
Wake time: 2013-10-08T05:53:21.XXXXXXXX
However, there will be other events in the logs after sleep and prior to this wake period, such as hardware device issues(My helix has Bluetooth device warnings, nfc driver warnings and some other nondescript hardware errors), kernel messages (about boot manager, boot options, etc.).
Have you changed the behavior of the power button?
You also can program the power buttons so that by pressing the power button you can shutdown the tablet or put it into sleep or hibernation mode. To achieve this, you need to change your power plan settings. To access power plan settings, do the following:
From the desktop, tap the battery status icon in the Windows notification area.
Tap More power options.
In the navigation panel, tap Choose what the power buttons do
Follow the onscreen instructions to configure settings.
Lastly, when you updated to Windows 8.1, did you format the whole C:\ (mSATA) drive?

Windows 7 – 802.1x Authentication fails after wakeup from Sleep/Hibernation

In our environment we randomly have issues with 802.1x authentications after Sleep or Hibernation of our client-systems.
Clients have Windows 7 as OS and are up-to-date regarding regular updates/patches. Drivers (at least
network and chipset) on affected machines have also been updated.
802.1x authentication method is PEAP (EAP-MSCHAPv2) and systems are validated
against Active Directory by RADIUS.
Analyzing the logs of our RADIUS-Server you can see that the client trys to authenticate
via MAC instead of its DNS-Name/FQDN (desired method). So the request fails and the client is assigned to a different VLAN without access to the company’s resources. Following steps like DHCP work correctly.
We have enabled the tracing of RAS-components on some of our clients by executing the following command-line: netsh ras set tracing
* enabled
Analyzing the client’s log-file “C:\Windows\tracing\svchost_RASCHAP.LOG” it looks like that the
component is simply not up at that point in time, because there are absolutely no entries making it impossible to search for a specific error/error-code. Side-fact: unplugging the network-cable and plugging it in again forces the client to
authenticate again – successfully and with entries in the given log.
There has been an article KB980295 describing my issue but that does not apply to Windows 7. Hotfix KB2736878 cannot be applied (0x80240017
- install is not needed because no updates are applicable).
Does anyone have an idea how you could force the component to initialize earlier (if it is possible at all)?
Any other advice is highly appreciated as well!
Thanks a lot

Hi Deason,
sorry for my very very late reply on this.
Even if I could not solve the problem yet, I can tell about some progress.
As both KB-Files (980295 and 2481614) sadly did not help with this at all and even setting the blockperiod to 1 (I saw that 0 doesn't seem to be supported here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831813.aspx) didn't make any difference I
have been working on how to reproduce the issue. So I wrote a tiny script disabling and enabling the client's network-port on and on (I have removed outputs and logging to keep it short):
$doAllTheTime = $true
$i = 0
$DomainName = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem).domain
$NWAdapter = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapter | ? {$_.name -like "*gigabit*"}
while ($doAllTheTime -eq $true)
$i++
$NWAdapter.disable() | out-null; Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
$NWAdapter.enable() | out-null; Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
$ping = $null
$ping = test-connection $DomainName -count 1
if ($ping -eq $null)
"Error with connection"; return
So I kept it running and after a dozens of loops the issue reoccurred. I could see that it is the dot3svc-Service that does not response anymore by the RASCHAP-log given above. Restarting the service manually triggered a re-authentication that was then successful.
So I added the restart-service-cmdlet to my script in case that the error was detected and configured a Scheduled Task triggered by the event that a network-cable has been plugged in (has to be provided by the driver). Script and Scheduled Task
have then been deployed to our clients.
Even if this is no solution it definitely helps with a high rate of incidents -
but not entirely... so I am still looking for further steps to
solve this. Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your support!!! Uhle

Windows 8.1 sleep/hibernate issues

I have some issues with sleep and hibernation on my freshly installed Windows 8.1
Hibernation gets triggered properly after the set number of minutes, however, instead of going back to the previous state, a hard boot takes place. hilberfile.sys has the current time stamp, so I suspect it's an issue with waking up, not with going to sleep.
I also tried the sleep mode as an alternative. It seems to go to sleep correctly, however, there's no chance to wake the computer up. I tried mouse, keyboard, power button - nothing. I hold the power button for 5 seconds, and a hard boot takes place. Seems
to be another problem with waking up.
Any ideas for further analysis on this issue?
BIOS is up to date, and on default settings (I've skipped the latest Beta update though).
Best wishes,
Jan

Hi,
My computer also encountered the similar problem. in my opinion, it is too old, even didn’t had corresponding driver of Windows 8.
For this problem, I would like recommend you upgrade all the hardware driver to be latest, especially the Graphic driver and power management driver(if accessible).
You can use Driver Verifier to check the driver problem.
Please refer to the link below for more details about how to use Driver Verifier to identify driver issues.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617
In addition, please try to disable hibernation for test.
For the BSOD problem, you can zip up the minidump files in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder and make available (provide link) via Windows Live SkyDrive. We may could find some caused reason about this problem
