Flashing light on the side of the PC when the lid is closed

I just bought a HP Pavilion dv6-6117dx notebook PC. It is defined so that when I close the lid, the PC is in "standby mode". That's fine, however, when I close the lid and the PC goes to sleep, there is a blinking light on the side of the PC closed, which is sharp and fast boring (and potentially dangerous, as I have epilepsy!) How can I change my settings so that it does not happen?

The flashing light is normal mode 'sleep' and it is not any way to change this, but you can change the action of closing the lid to go into "Hibernation" who does not have the blinker.

Go to the "Control Panel" and find food Options. Open and click on 'Change plan settings' plan what ever you're on, it's okay. Click on 'Change power avancΘs' in this window.

Look for this in the screenshot and the drop-down list choose "Hibernation".

You will need to replace it with "battery" and "plugged in". Hibernation turns the computer into a deep state, but it is even faster then start a closed complete and more important still, there is no flashing light.

  • Dell XPS 13 lights up once the lid is closed and put to sleep

    I have a strange problem. I noticed that when I close my XPS 13, it stops (as indicated by the boring before LED) but then later it will start up while it is transported. Sometimes I'll get home, get out of the computer case, and it will be as hot as a heat missile because it worked.

    I don't know why it would boot only randomly like that? I have power options 'sleep' when the lid is closed, as shown here: http://i.imgur.com/p0x1C86.png.

    For the life of me I don't see what would be the trigger that the NSA (just kidding). It happens to someone else? Did you find a solution for this? Was it a dell program? Or is there a defective piece of hardware on this computer?

    Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :)

    I could solve this problem by installing a clean version of Windows 10. I have an MSDN account so I downloaded the ISO from there and everything removed from the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 10. The only problem I encountered is that I wasn't able to install UEFI mode. After you have installed all the drivers for Dell, laptop can accommodate properly and autonomy is great. There must be a problem with software that installs Dell with Windows that is the cause of the sleep problem.

  • Dv6 7000: charging does that when the lid is closed (sleep mode)

    I have a laptop HP DV6 7000. The battery doesn't work that when the lid is closed (sleep mode).

    If I close the lid and plug in the charger, the light indicates orange and the battery will deliver to load almost full.

    If I open the lid before the orange light changing to white, battery icon always says: _ % available (plugged in, does not support).

    Several different Chargers give identical results. EACH of them is fully charge the battery in two hours; as long as the cover is closed. If I open the lid, even to say 50% load, the orange light glows white and the battery icon always says: _ % available (plugged in, does not support).

    Thank you, Ed.

  • Computer user connection laptop turns off when the lid is closed

    How can I configure my laptop to disconnect the current user (switch not only users) and force them to close all programs when the lid is closed, and then switch to sleep mode?

    There is no direct option for this, but you can create a batch file that has orders for logoff, then the command for the night and have that run the trigger of "Lock Workstation".

    Task Scheduler allows many triggers.  Type Task Scheduler in your Start menu, and then click New task on the right side to explore your options.

  • NB250 makes scream sound when the lid is closed

    Hi all

    I am facing this problem with my laptop NB250.

    Steps to reproduce the problem
    i. internal microphone and speakers are enabled
    II. play some audio.
    III. close the lid while the audio is playing.
    IV. when the lid is closed (or even when she is brought very close to the keyboard) there is a loud noise.

    I went to the shop where I bought the laptop. The technician he said that this sound is done because the microphone is taken directly above the enclosure when the lid is closed.
    But I do not think that the sound must be made when the lid is closed.

    I should be grateful if the following queries are processed:
    i. This is a problem with only with NB250?
    II. is it a common problem with all laptops that have the speakers placed next to the touchpad, which brings the microphone from the speakers when the lid is closed?
    III. If there is a problem with my laptop, what should I do to repair/replace?

    Thank you
    Yogesh

    Hi mate

    I think you're talking about the sound looping between speaker <->microphone.
    I n t have this model laptop but I found an interesting How TO from Toshiba on similar topic. It addresses s L500 series.

    Check this box:
    + Hissing sound +.

    Disable the microphone volume in the speakers properties and this will help you get rid of these sounds.

    How can I fix it?

    I guess that your laptop goes into mode standby when the lid is closed.
    Right?

    In this case, you must set the option to choose what closing the lid does nothing to

  • Satellite don't wake up from sleep or hibernation when the lid is closed

    It is a problem that I had with my laptop from the outset - if the laptop is in sleep or Hibernate mode and the lid is closed, or the lid is closed and will switch "standby" from there, it won't wake up or respond to the switch once again opened.

    Even holding down the power button has no effect, the only way to turn it back on is to remove the battery, put it back and turn the phone back on, lose anything I had opened.

    I fear that the laptop could be damaged by this, but there is no other way.
    This isn't a problem with the settings of windows, I had the same problem with the function suspends in ubuntu.

    Anyone had similar problems or know anything than either could have caused this?

    What model of Satellite L do you have exactly?
    What system is pre-installed? Have you tested this problem with laptop recovery fees?

    BIOS is up to date? If it is not updated in the BIOS.
    After update BIOS, set the default BIOS and test the features of the laptop.

  • Satellite U - Vista starts when the lid is closed

    Hello

    The title says it all!

    My girlfriend showed me her cell phone yesterday. She manually stop it on the start menu, leave for a few minutes, close the lid, then watches in joy as the computer laptop Springs revive again.

    I checked and the judgment indeed makes a stop, not a hibernation or something like that. I also changed the lid closed to "nothing" action and "stop" and I tried various methods to stop this strange behavior. My only solution was to have vista recognize the lid close like a stop action and have this control by turning off the laptop. Unfortunately, my girlfriend is a woman of routine and like to manually turn off the laptop before closing the lid, so my solution is not a long-term one.

    One thing that I've seen is that she had managed to install Uniblue Registry Booster. I quickly removed it, but wonder if it could have changed his behaviour of the laptop? Surely the fact if boots up when it is turned off when the lid is closed could not be attributed to Vista or whatever it is that was done for her?

    Thank you

  • Satellite L10-187 wakes up when the lid is closed

    I got this Toshiba Satellite L10-187 for a few years now, and since I bought it I had problems with it to wake up even if the lid is closed.
    Suspended or hibernation is not serious, he always wakes.

    More annoying is when I have it in my backpack and I noticed that the battery has been drained, when I want to use the computer.

    Is this a known issue?

    Hello

    L10 is old enough laptop model and if you noticed from the first day, I wonder why you waited so long time and didn't search for solution before. In any case, enter the BIOS settings and disable Wake up on LAN option. As far as I know wake up the system can also be result of active Windows update Service. Disable it.

    Please disable both options and report us what happens now.

    I can't say much on battery. Just a question: is the battery just when the laptop is in sleep/hibernation mode or this will happen even if the laptop is turned OFF?

  • I can do: sleep when the lid is closed, EXCEPT when an external display is connected?

    Hello

    Please let me know if this is possible. Seems to me like a current need, but I can't find a way to achieve this.

    I wish that the laptop to sleep when I close the lid (battery / plugged - matter), except when I have a connected external display.

    The script is very simple, I prefer to work with an external display, so I don't want or need the lid is open. When I'm on the road, the "sleep when the lid is closed" is a desired behavior.

    Is this possible?

    Thank you

    Roee.

    (1) this function is available in the Apple OS, but not in OS Win.

    (2) but, you can set a custom power plan to do this, so when you connect an external monitor just switch the power around plan. It is the easiest way to get what you want.
