X201s not properly going to sleep / hibernate / shutdown mode and instead gets piping hot

My 3.5 year old X201s that has been working like a charm has developed a nasty problem:
None of the "normal" methods to get the system to "turn off" seems to be working any longer. The OS (Win7Pro-32bit) does its normal thing during sleep / hibernate / shutdown, the screen eventually goes blank but the system never goes into the appropriate powered down state. The area under the CPU becomes hot and the system is totally unresponsive to Fn button, mouse button, lid opening, power button press.
More specifically:
"Start->Shutdown" or single Power button press results in battery LED solidly lit, no "beep". Systemis unresponsive to subsequent normal power on.
"Fn+F4 Sleep" or Close Lid results in Battery and Moon LED solidly lit, single "beep". System is unresponsive to any subsequent normal wakeup attempts.
"Fn+F4 Hibernate" results in Battery and Power and LED solidly lit, moon blinking, no "beep". System is unresponsive to any subsequent normal wakeup attempts.
In all cases, I have to press and hold the power button for 5 sec (at which point all LEDs turn off as they should) to then be able to normally boot the system again. Upon booting, Windows does not complain of any improper shutdown and boots normally from scratch (sleep/shutdown scenario) and in the hibernate scenario, resumes properly.
I have the latest BIOS and Thinkvantage updates installed, have turned off Blutooth, disabled "always-on USB" , have also uninstalled Thinkvantage Power Manager but have not seen any change.
Reading some of the other threads on here about aging thermal paste and hot running CPUs, could this have fried some of my Power management circuitry?
Could an overheated
Any insight would be much appreciated!

Some follow-up:
- I applied the Intel ME firmware update 6.1.32.1076, see
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77175
but this did not fix anything.
- Reinstalled latest Lenovo Power Manager and driver, - no luck.
- Recovered original factory image, - still the same ill-behavior.
Has anyone had experience with sending out of warranty laptops to Lenovo for repair (likely motherboard replacement)?

IMac goes to sleep/hibernate multiple times per day after installing Maverick OS. I have to shutdown and power back on.

iMac goes to sleep/hibernate multiple times per day after installing Maverick OS. Moving the mouse or hitting the spcaebar will not wake the pc.
I have to shutdown and power back on. My iMac was purchased in January 2011 and no longer in warrenty. The energy saver 'sleep' and 'display' settings are set at 10 minutes. When I changed to 'never' the machine got very hot and I changed the settings back. I have checks by: Put hard disk to sleep when possible and wake for network access. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my computer closes down instead of going to sleep. When I restart I get a message saying your computer shut down because of a problem. Has anyone a similar problem? What is solution?

My external hard drive goes in to constant access mode and really slows down my computer

I'm using an external hard drive for time machine. After working for an hour or so the drive goes into a constant access mode and realy slows down my IMac. I look at activity monitor and everything looks good, no high CPU usage or memory issues. The only fix is to use the power button to shut down my IMac. After restart it works fine for a while.
If I turn off time machine the problem seems to not happen. I tried disk utility on the external hard drive and it says the dirve is fine. I change out external drives and the problem still occures. Any thoughts?

I didn't realize my profile stated otherwise.
Please check near the bottom of your original post above to see OS X (10.7.2). You might want to update that to avoid confusion and save some time in the future.
OK, please take a deep breath.
Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme....likely because it is not reliable. You might want to review this Apple Support document to confirm:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
So, we are not going to be able to provide you with much assistance on that issue.
Some users seem to be able to make this work....some have some problems....and some (like me) who have tried this have nothing but problems.
Sorry, I can't help on this one, but maybe another user who has had better luck will post to provide his secrets.
The iTunes and iPhoto libraries and files are my only copies now. I moved everything from my Macbook to the external then deleted the originals.
Not sure if you have thought about this.
If you deleted the "originals", then your only copy of your data is on one hard drive. You have no backups if the drive has a problem.
A minimum backup plan would be to have a copy of important data on two different drives. When....not if...one drive fails, you have the data on the "other" drive.
You have no "other" drive according to the information that you have provided.
Further.....Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point....you cannot know when.....Time Machine will pick up the change on your Mac and delete the iTunes and iPhoto data from your Time Machine backups.
The files might stay there a few months, or even longer. But, I have seen instances where the files were deleted within a week or two.
So my advice would be to only delete data from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

Not Reliably Going To Sleep With Lid Open?

I've had my new MacBook Pro for a few days. I think it is absolutely brilliant. However, last night I left it running on battery with the lid open and returned to find the battery dead. It will go to sleep if you shut the lid or select sleep from the Apple menu.
I called Apple and they talked me through numerous procedures including resetting the SMC, PRAM, deleting various plists and finally a permissions repair on the disk. The latter seemed to make it work.
However, I've found this evening that it still does not reliably go to sleep with the lid open and I really can't work out why. It doesn't seem to be linked to a particular application. Sometimes even if I only have the finder running it will not go to sleep.
When it does work, the computer takes 2-3 minutes to go to sleep after the display sleeps.
I'm running Snow Leopard with all the available updates.
Please can anyone suggest what I might do next?

Hi,
I've been struggling with same issue too, idle timer sleep just didn't work most of the time. I am a recent convert from Windows world and there were never issues with PC to go to sleep after idle timeout. With SL it was not so easy.
However, I found a reason (Or two actually) why it was not sleeping, after going through my applications and web pages one by one.
One of them is flash plugin in browsers, if I had any page open with flash, the computer would not sleep. Apparently flash somehow makes SL think it is not idle. Solution to this was to set up flash blockers to browsers. Which is not bad thing overall, flash is mostly adverts anyway on the pages I visit.
Other one was facebook, even with flash disabled. Something in their real-time updating of statuses again prevents sleeping. I tried disabling java and java script too, it might help but then facebook does not work at all. Solution is to always close facebook after using it. Not a really good one, it's easy to forget running.
Hope this helps!

2008 iMac, display not coming back after sleep, requiring SMC reset and more.

I have a 24" 2008 iMac that's recently started giving me migranes starting a couple weeks ago. It's the kids' shared computer in the bonus room, and one of them comes in and tells me it's not working. I go in, and it seems like it's off, but I can hear the fans going. Won't respond to mouse, keyboard, even hitting the power button that usually pops something up warning that I'm about to shut it down with people still logged in. So I hold the power button down to force it off, wait a minute, and turn it back on. I hear the superdrive sounding like it's trying to load a disc, but there's nothing in there . . . keeps making that noise again and again. No startup chime, no display, nothing, just the superdrive sound. Can't get it to boot. I come to the support site and go through resetting the SMC - unplugging it for 15 seconds. That at least takes care of the superdrive sound, and I get the startup chime, but no video.
I go a step further, unplugging it and plugging it back in while holding the power button down for 10 sec. When I hit the power button after that, it comes on, display nice and bright, but the fans are now running full speed. Another article tells me to reset the SMC for that, which I do, and now the fans are working properly and the system is working again.
Problem is, I wind up having to go through this whole thing every other day. If I follow the steps of unplugging it, holding the power button down while I plug it back in, turning it on and booting up, shutting down and resetting the SMC to make the fans slow down, it will work. But it's random as to when it happens, and I'd really like to know why it could be happening and what I can do to fix it for good and not have to go through the whole thing to get it back up and running. Is it simply on its last legs? Do I need to restore the OS (Snow Leopard upgrade)? Do I need to take it to the Genius Bar and pay them to look at it and diagnose it, and God knows how much to fix?
Or, do I recycle it and just bite the bullet and get a new one? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

the first thing to try is resetting the pram/nvram

if this doesnt work it could be a loose display cable.

I keep getting a connection failed error message from mail every time my computer goes to sleep, is shut down and/or I change network connections?

Mail mail was working fine for months but now I keep getting an error message every time my computer shuts down or even goes to sleep. I get the exclamation point error and when I try to reconnect it always falis. My internet connection is fine and nothing else is losing connections. The only way to fix it is to shut down mail completely and restart which fixes the connection every time, but it's getting really frustrating have to constantly shut down mail and restart it just to use my email.

Bump ???

Not waking up from sleep whilst back of display unit getting very very hot.

I have had my first mac now for just 6 months, over the last 6 weeks or so it has intermittently failed to wake up when it goes to sleep for prolonged periods of time i.e striking keyboard, moving the mouse or pressing the power button. As well as this the back of the display unit is getting extremely hot to the touch. The only way to resolve this problem is to pull the power cord and let the display unit cool down before it will switch back on again which can take a couple of hours.
Has anyone else experienced or is experiencing this problem.

have you tried to just let it wake up? I had an issue (similar) were the MBP would be asleep, I would mouse the mouse or hit a key to wake it and it would sound like its waking up but the screen was blank. I would either close the lid or just power down. One time I just let it sit and with in a few minutes it came on and the frequency got further apart.
but I haven't have any real issues since 10.5.2 and a few other updates.

I have lost the ability to upload files to a website. I have to transfer files from my computer to a web site and I get an error message "connection was reset" and the file will not upload. I try to transfer pictures and I get the same message.

I have to upload a scanned receipt to a website and I get the error message "connection was reset". I have uploaded these receipt for two years and last week I have had to use another browser to complete this operation. I connect to the website and do the report I must do, but I can no longer upload to this site.

Are you using any additional software for the uploading?
Try using Firefox in [[safe mode]] when you upload. There is no need to make changes when you see the option. Disable all plugins whilst in safe mode. Then try the uploads.
You mention [/questions/921993 elsethread] that it is a work site. Have you contacted your IT department. One possibility is that the site is not recognising Firefox 10.
(One temporary workaround and troubleshhooting test would be to install Firefox3.6.27 [http://portableapps.com/news/2012-02-01_-_firefox_portable_3.6.26_released portable] as an additional browser and try that.)

I have iPad model number MC706B/A and battery gets very hot quickly and also discharges from 100% to 0 in under an hour with onyl one app going. Brightness res turned right down also to stop over use on battery.

Hi All,
I am getting increasingly frustrated at the battery grossly overheating ( as in cannot hold it on legs as gets too hot) also that I have to keep it on constant charge a other wise it discharges from 100% to zero in well under and hour. Is this a battery or design fault of this particular model. Its not even a year old but I also know whilst they brought it out in March 2012 they discontinued in October 2012...
Can anyone assist as Apple lcearly want nothing to do with a now defunct model and I am thinking that perhaps with the backing of the Trading Standards Authority and the Office of Fair Trading, Apple might just want to sit up and listen as up until now they have not. They simply suggest that I should trade up!!!

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

HT4970 I have chosen not to use iCloud for the time being, and cannot get the Reminders i input on my Mac to replicate to my iphone and iPad? any help is appreciated.

I have chosen not to use iCloud for the time being since the syncing was inconsistently working with the calender and contacts; and cannot get the Reminders on my Mac to sync/replicate onto my ios device, neither iphone nor ipad. Help is appreciated in respect to Reminders. Thank you.

ok, thanks. couple other questions...
1. will it sync to my reminders on my MAC too if i enter via icloud? if not, what's the reason for having the reminder list available on my Mac if it can't sync?
2. I have 2 different email accounts, one with a .mac address and another with .msn. both can be accessed via icloud. i ran a test using my msn acct as the signin and it logged the reminder onto both the iphone and ipad fine.
however, when i try with my mac address, it only shows up on my iphone, which list reminders under icloud(which worked on both devices and then under mac which worked only on the iphone, not ipad. any idea why that might be happening?
thanks for your help.

My iPad is not charging and it gets very hot

My iPad isn't charging and it's get really hot.. What is wrong with it?

Hello there simisammy,
If the iPad is not recognized in iTunes then I recommend this article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
This is a basic over view of the troubleshooting involved with it.
To begin troubleshooting this issue on your iOS device, first follow the steps in the appropriate troubleshooting assistant below:
iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant
iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant
iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
If the issue persists after following the troubleshooting assistant, continue with the steps below, testing to see if the issue is resolved after each section.

1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
When that is finished I would recommend this article

I just bought an iphone 4s in surat india.the phone switches off itself atleast 2 times in a day.at times the problem is that when it goes to sleep a person trying that number gets a dialer ring.Hence he seems that i have not picked up his call

i just bought an iphone 4s a month back
the phone gets switched off on its own atleast 2 times in a day and when we press the home button it gets started.
when it is in the switched off mode, a person calling on it gets my dialer tone. He feels that i have not answered his call and has gone as a
missed call on my phone. But in actual, i have never received the call nor its presence is there as a missed call on the "switched off" iphone 4s.
Hence the caller feels that i am not answering his call nor even calling after i see his missed call
this is a very grave problem i am facing
please help me out.

HT200154 My apple tv is frozen sits on main page light blinks twice fast trying to use remote but will not change just goes to sleep or picture mode untill i unplg it then the same all over

My apple tv just froze or hung , it was working then nothing, only way to power it up is to unplug then plug it in , but staays on the main screen frozen, if i try to use the remote it just flashes 2 x fast and does nothing, i assume its connected or i would not see my itunes etc

Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.
