Hello hermits_haven,

You can click on start - Control Panel - hardware and sound - power Options. There you can select power management. On the left side you should see a selection that says "Choose what to do when you close the lid" or something to that effect.

I'm moving your question on the forum hardware and drivers.

Let us know if you still need help.

  • Tecra 9100: Sleep Mode is no longer enabled after closing the lid

    Hello

    First post here and not the smartest when it comes to computer skills...

    Have a Tecra 9100 about 4 years old, under XP Pro SP2.

    last 3 days whenever I close the lid of the laptop it won't STAND BY mode me leaving no option but to propel to the top and I get "SUMMARY FAILURE PRESS ANY KEY."... »

    I changed any settings whatsover and since then, I tried to access the Power Saver icon in Control Panel, but when I click on it nothing happens. I then click on a few of the Control Panel Power Options and I get the message "...". "a Microsoft power options and use the Toshiba power Saver saver" which obviously I can't access either!

    Is there any reason why closing the lid of my laptop is no longer 'Stand by' mode, basically going in OFF format only, it became a major drawback and don't know where to turn to.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Reading your post I guess windows on own power options and doesn t use Toshiba power saver power profiles.

    Generally, the issue should be resolved by switch again to the Toshiba power saver in the-> power options control panel! But your announcement about turning the power on, it is not possible! It s very strange?  :|

    In this case, I recommend to remove the Toshiba installation energy saver. This can be done in the Add & Remove programs.

    So finally, check out the following steps:
    Remove the energy saver, restart the laptop, reinstall the Toshiba Common modules, reboot the laptop and install again the energy saver.

    After this procedure, the splash screen should work! By the way; the hibernation mode is disabled by default. If you want to use the Hibernate mode, you will need to enable it first!

  • Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

    Hello
    I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
    When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
    change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
    with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
    If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
    Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

    First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

    So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

    A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!

  • Equium A60-692 restarts after closing the lid

    More annoying, the only thing I can do is hold the power button to turn off & on again. Is there a key combination should I put pressure to bring its edge form after you have closed the lid, or is it a fault?

    Thank you

    Usually when the size of the memory changes, the system can recover.

    Remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC, and then remove one of the memory Modules and power on.

  • SP U400 - cannot return to the desktop after entering in the mode 'sleep' by closing the lid

    Satellite Pro U400 V-11 I used for a week. I don't know if this is a problem or I did something wrong. My setting of closing the lid is recording mode "Eve" in Vista.

    When I close the lid and open a few minutes later it's ok, I see the password login screen. But if the computer is in "sleep" for a while it does not return to the office when I lift the lid. The screen is black. Fan started working then quiet several times.

    The first three LEDs on the left are green. Keyboard does not respond. And also switch / stop does not work either I press once on or hold it. And only after I unplug the power adapter and press the power, it works. But it restarts the system and Windows could not close correctly the error message is displayed.

    Is this normal or something wrong with the mode 'sleep'?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I read on some of the similar problems regarding "standby" mode and the black screen.
    Someone suggested to update the BIOS and the display driver

    So I highly recommend it too much
    See the European driver of Toshiba page, choose the model right for laptop and try to update the BIOS, then the display driver.

    Reboot the laptop and see if the problem still occurs.

    Good luck

  • 311-1037 mini Wifi connection is lost after having closed the lid of the screen?

    OK, this just started to happen yesterday, my wifi on my mini disconnects now after you have closed the lid! It is never used to do this, nothing has changed hardware wise, signal is the same strength, really confusing to me.

    Someone at - it the same problem or a solution?

    I have my power mode set to do nothing when the lid is closed, so it shouldn't be disabled at all.

    In fact, it switch performance Max to max power save, then return to perf max seemed to solve my problem.

  • Windows error recovery received CONSTANTLY after closing the lid

    I did a factory reset using the recovery a month ago discs.  When I was using the system at this time as I closed the lid.  When I came back to it at a later date, I opened the lid and noticed that it was not on.  I pressed the power button and received the following message is displayed:

    Windows is not shut down successfully.  If it was because of the system does not, or if the system was stopped down to protect data, you might be ale to recover by choosing one of the Safe Mode configurations from the menu below:

    Start Windows normally

    What is the problem and how can I fix this so it doesn't happen or is this normal with Vista.

    Hi SouthernDixieCowgirl,

    This would happen if the driver graphics card on the computer is damaged or needs to be updated.

    You will need to update the drivers to display on the computer card by visiting the manufacturer of the card or the computer manufacturer's website and check if it works.

    Hello

    It does not repeat the operation after you close the lid.

    I have to restart the computer to make it work again.

    What is the driver for this problem?

    Thanks for joining the HP Forums.

    As I understand it the laptop is not take over onscreen once his COVER is closed.

    Don't worry, however, as I have a few steps to help solve this problem,

    Let's start by disabling hybrid sleep: click here to see a YouTube with a step by step guide.

    For the steps and details on how to control what your COVER:

    In the Power Options window that opens, click the link to Choose closing the cover on the left sidebar.

    Here you can choose what your power of the buttons on your computer, as well as what happens when you close the lid.
    You can choose to do nothing, sleep, Hibernateor shut down.  In general,sleep is a good option, but if you leave your laptop running, select do nothing.

    Note that you can change the settings for a cell and sector, so your laptop works differently when you use mobile compared to when you are connected to your office.
    Given that we usually only would want to let our laptop running when it's plugged in, we put ours to always go to sleep when it's on battery power, but to do nothing when you close the lid while it is plugged in.  Very convenient.

    Below, you will notice a few additional parameters, but they are protected by default.  Click change settings that are currently unavailable for editing.

    Now you can choose if you want that your computer requires password when he wakes fashion 'sleep'.

    Once you are finished, click Save at the bottom to start to use your new settings.
    If you want to come back when you're on the move again, just repeat the steps and set it as you like.
    Now, you are in full control of what happens when you close your laptop.

    I would like to know if these measures worked for you.  If they did, it's great!  Give us some reinforcements by clicking on the solution and laurels, buttons that help and others see that we have the answers!
    Good luck.

  • A60 can't go on stand-by by closing the lid

    My laptop satellite A60 had to replace the motherboard. I sent it to the warranty for the replacement service. now, after having changed the motherboard, my laptop can't switch mode sleep or hibernation automatically when I close the lid (I checked toshiba's energy saver, but all settings are OK). He may not resume the stand by mode automactically when I open the lid, I press the power button to restart the pc.
    You have a solution for this problem
    Thank you

    Hi miki

    What is your device reinstalled after the replacement of the main card? Normally, it should work fine if the energy saving settings are correct named. Each cell has a small switch which is activated if the lid is opened or closed. Perhaps is it some defects.
