W500 will not fall asleep

I was wondering if anyone knows a reason/quick fix for this. Whenever I close my W500 (Vista 32-bit, terrible I know) it will go to sleep for 10 seconds before waking to the top; He did the same thing when I click on standby or Hibernate in the start menu.

I checked my power settings, the settings so that the laptop should do when closed, etc., but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

Y at - it a new version of BIOS for your laptop?

  • HP Pavilion p7-1240: desktop will be falling asleep and wake up, and then on its own since configuration for Windows 10

    Desktop has been configured for 10 Windows Home Premium and works very well.  However, a slight annoyance is whenever I put the machine to sleep, he wakes up in the minute each time.  So I do not use 'sleep' and turn every time that I'm done using it.

    However, I prefer to sleep until needed again.

    Already used administrator command prompt: powercfg /requests to check for power to the sleep problem issues and nothing appeared on the command line.

    Already tried disabling hybrid sleep - no help

    Already turned off all timers wake - no help

    Already changed the power of sleep settings using adapters - no network

    Any help you could give me would be much appreciated. !

    I can't answer, but the reason why Apple removed the ability of many empty trash is that it does not work with modern and SSD; There is no way to guarantee you're replaces any element as data locations are moved dynamically. Because it is impossible to well to empty the trash that apple decides to not fall asleep in a false sense of security.

  • Satellite U400 won't turn on & when we will not sleep mode

    I have a Satellite U400 and is a year and a few months.

    In the last few it was in place, and it started when the computer goes to sleep and goes to the black white screen, it will not fall.
    The only way to do anything is held in the power up to what it turns off and then back on. This brings me to the warning screen that I turned off my computer incorrectly. It was actions also for a few weeks and randomly started unexpectedly.

    Then just today it does at all, I was pressing the power button and the key itself would be lit up and on the right side of the small lights would light up but don't turn on, I kept pressing it again and again and again and finally it turn on. Once on, I used only for a few minutes before turning off again and then do the same thing, I kept pressing the bottom until it works. Its been on now and has not extinguished again.

    There not in the newspaper I had to reformat my computer because I forget my password and had put me out of the computer. About a week after that is when the problems started. I'm not all that clever computer, to be honest, I do not understand something of things, I can follow step by step to do something.

    I really want to pay to have it fix I just want myself and as soon as its in great shape and never had any problems before.

    Does anyone have any idea what this might be, or why it might be?

    I think about reformatting again because I'm worried that didn't work right the 1st time or something.

    Or if it's something that needs fixing someone have any idea on the cost of it?

    Thanks ^_^

  • 4501 envy do not print once he falls asleep

    I bought this printer at the end of last year, and I've always had this problem. Once he falls asleep, she do not print wireless. I tried printing when he's asleep and also after hitting the power button once to wake up it upward. Printing from my iPhone or iPad is also not available once he falls asleep.

    It prints again if I turn the printer off, reset my Belkin router and then turn the printer on. I tried the printer will affect an IP address, but it doesn't work anymore. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for the help.

    Read up on the subject and changed the channel on my router to 'Auto' on a different channel than the other networks who would pick up the printer. Seems to work now both in and out of fashion "Eve".

  • cannot answer the calls when 'asleep '. Swipe will not work, but appeal continues to ring

    cannot answer the calls when 'asleep '. Swipe will not work, but appeal continues to ring

    If you have not already, try to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again. You won't lose any data, but it can cure a few glitches.

    If it does not, and to make sure that this isn't related software, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

    If it still does not respond, it could be a hardware problem and the phone must be repaired by Apple or an Apple authorized Service Provider:

    Use iTunes to restore your device to factory settings - Support Apple iOS

    Find an Apple authorized service provider

  • Satellite P205-S6287 will not start.

    I've had my laptop since late February 2008 and I bought it new. I put it down like I always do until I fall asleep and it worked perfectly before doing so.

    I woke up this morning and I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't and restart. The Startup Repair tool returns unsuccessful, as well as the restoration of the system. He will say it was a success, then reboot and does not illuminate. He did something similar a month; I had it turned on to find that it has been restored back to factory settings. System Restore worked perfectly for this and I have not had similar problems to date.

    Is that what I can do to try to fix this problem without taking it anywhere? I don't really have money to take it anywhere right now and I am in desperate need of my laptop. Thank you.

    Sorry, buddy, but I'm a little confused. The laptop does not start, but you did the system restore. How to understand this?
    What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

    Did you do system restore in safe mode or what?
    You can start your laptop with AC only (removed battery) power?

  • PAP2-T falls asleep after about 24 hours of no use

    I bought the above week last for use at home.  It seems to work well, except that I noticed he falls asleep entrant if if is not used for 24 hours. An outcall seems to repair or reset power.

    At home and at work to make sure it wasn't me I tested with a NEC PBX and a method V90 SIP fone with no problem and no problem sleeping. Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks for the info.  I made the changes.

  • Windows 7 will not go to sleep when it's on battery

    I recently replaced the laptop battery on my Acer 5517 inspire running windows 7. Battery power when I leave Internet race 11 explore (and maybe some other programs) the computer will not sleep after awhile... it remains right on until the battery runs out and is not yet put into hibernation when the critical battery level is reached. The computer works fine and will go to sleep after 30 minutes, when it is plugged in or when I have it on battery with any running application. This issue is frustrating because if I forgot to plug my computer and let a program run the next morning I need to restart windows and get the message that windows did not close properly. I am frustrated because the system hibernate properly when battery reaches a critical level in certain conditions that I mentioned, but when it's on battery and an application running that he do not hibernate when battery level critical is reached.

    Hi Cory,.

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    SCP may not sleep when you use internet via the network. Windows is not designed to do by default when you do a video or audio stream from the internet.

    First, launch a command prompt window using the "Run as Administrator" option. (Search for "cmd", right click and select "run as administrator").

    Then run this command: powercfg-applications

    What this will do, is tell you all the programs or devices that currently prevent the system from going into sleep mode. In cases, it reported that my audio device was causing the problem. The message was "an audio stream is being used."  This could be caused by something as simple as a web browsing with Flash content.  See screenshot...

    So now that you know what prevents mode 'sleep', you ask the power management system to ignore this device and go ahead and enter the mode "Eve" anyway.  In my case, it was my audio card called "High definition Audio Device".  Yours will vary - it could talk about Creative Labs, SoundMax, RealTek, etc.. Or it could be any other device all together (network card, mouse, keyboard, etc.).  You need to specify exactly the same name in the following command.

    For me, the command is: powercfg - REQUESTSOVERRIDE DRIVER "High definition Audio Device" SYSTEM

    Now that I've told management system of power to ignore any audio stream opened by this device, he falls asleep without any problem.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you need help with Windows.
