• Food access option for when I close the lid on my laptop cant

  When I go to the control panel and select power options and then "choose the closing cover" it not gives me the ability to change anything. I can see the options there but they are that a little gray color which means that you cannot modify them. I have a Samsung qx410-jo1 notebook and that as far as I know that they do not have a driver for it so I wonder if there is a way to ensure that I can change what happens when I close my lid.

• Laptop shuts off and turns on when I close the lid

  Hi, I just bought a HP Pavilion 15-n253sv and I noticed that when I close the lid its turns off instead of getting in standby mode. Also when I stopped it, and then I close the lid it lights up. Its like the on off button. Is it a hardware problem that I must return the laptop? I checked out the settings and it is said that when the lid is closed it just goes to the standby mode. I have win 8.1.

  Hi Biliou,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  If I understand you correctly, your computer shuts down when you close the lid, and if it is turned off and you close the lid it lights.  I think you are right to think it's a hardware problem. You can contact our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click on the link to get help from your region number. Contact HP worldwide

  I hope that this helps, please let me know how it goes.

  Thank you and have a great day!

• Satellite C650 stops when I close the lid

  I recently got my laptop for Christmas, and a few weeks ago, I noticed that whenever I opened the cover, I had to turn it back on. He woul say the computer stops unexpectedly. Then you choose the security mode or regular. You hit one and we would send you to the Start Up repair.

  What should I do to get that normal back where I can close the lid and then open it again without having to reboot and wait more than seven minutes to start repair.
  Also, I got the blue screen.

  Do I have a virus, or is there another way I could fix it?

  Stand by. In the history I n t understand one thing: in power options on the side left (blue color), you can find the option choose closing the cover. Which option is implemented here?

• External screen goes blank when I close the lid Satellite P100

  Hi all.
  I hope someone has an idea as to what is happening here.

  Sometimes I like to watch a dvd or use the center of the media on my HD TV. I use Windows Vista to make it.

  When I had XP installed, I close the lid of the laptop and watch them to my heart's content. Now with Vista, I need to have the lid open be able to watch on the external display. If I close to you then the external screen is empty, as if I unplugged the laptop.

  That makes me free! What worries me is burn-in screen, because the standby screen not turn on as I am watching video.

  Help! Someone! Anyone!

  AFAIK in Vista that you can use the same options as under WXp. check please supply option and you will find an option called when I close the lid. As option, choose no action.

  I think you should be able to close the lid while watching the movie on screen.

• Satellite A200 AH3 stops instead of standby when I close the lid

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A200 AH3. When I bought Windows Vista was preinstalled (I still drive recovery). When I closed the lid of the previous day (I mean the monitor turn off the HD, the cooling fan and all the rest). The light On / Off on the laptop turned to a flashing orange light.

  Then I opened the lid and Windows prompted me to the logon screen. This process occurred when the laptop starts on the battery, not when it is plugged. Everything was going fine.

  But I formatted the HD to install WIndows XP that I bought Windows vista seem to be too heavy for my laptop. So I installed Windows XP and the driver and the software available on the Toshiba site. Now when I close the lid, the Windows shut down very quickly (about5-6 seconds). However, it is a real firm. When I reopen it cover anything happen.

  Then I press the power button / stop and start Windows, normally (no screen saying that windows close annormally and no Safe Mode boot option). Even if I change the setting in the control panel/power Option or the Toshiba Power Saver, utility and I put them to sleep, he always make a stop down.

  How do I restore that?

  Hello!

  Have you downloaded the BIOS for Windows XP?
  For the Satellite A200, there are two versions available; one for XP and one for Vista.

  Also, make sure that you have the latest graphics card driver and keep your XP to date.

  Good bye

  When I close the lid of my new laptop Inspiron I don't get the emails.  I also do not receive if the lid is open and I have not used the computer for a while. Can you still get emails on outlook while your computer is in mode 'sleep'?

  You will receive e-mail messages, regardless of the mode 'sleep', etc...

  I've never had mail downloaded from the server until I "wake up" my computer. Never have.

• Takes too long to Hibernate when I close the lid - also the noise of random device when starting

  Hello guys.

  Since I wiped the machine, I had these two problems. When I close the lid, he used to go to bed right now, but now I see the light of sleep (and the power button), flash and flash, and then he goes to sleep.

  Upon awakening, he crosses the start of lenovo screen and resumption of the windows, then it asks for a password, before I used to open the lid and he was asking me the password immediately. I know it was going to sleep because I could hear the beep immediately when I closed and opened, but now it takes just too long.

  In addition, every time I have boot into windows or resume in a sleep state windows, I hear the sound of the device, like something being connected input/output. But there's nothing being plugged or back at the time. I can't to Device Manager fast enough to see who it is who is the cause.

  But all the drivers seem to be correct.

  Thanks in advance.

  Sam.

  EDIT: Also noticed, when the lid is closed, randomly the laptop turns off (beep) one then turns left.

  Weird.

  T420 model number: 4180-PR1 with operating system: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  Completely wiped the machine and reinstalled everything. No Acronis this time and work all fine.

• Computer locking when I close the lid

  I have a laptop sony vaio vgn-aw290. When I got it after you have configured the fingerprint reader it would lock the computer when I closed the lid. If I close and open it immediately and it would make me a password. He wouldn't buy support standby or hibernation, it would simply lock the computer. recently, we went to panama, fl on vacation and this feature no longer works. don't know why or how or exactly when. I looked through the settings and power options and may not know how to re - set parameters to lock the lid closed. I also have an HP that has begun to stay unlocked when I close the lid. I would like to know how to configure it to crash when the lid closes, so I don't need the screen saver locks with a password to send it in stand-by or press win + L before I close the lid.

  Hi Mr. Folse,.

  You can follow the procedure below to change the Power Options.

  1. Click Start, then Control Panel.

  2 double click on Power Options.

  3. under "Advanced", set the option "When I close the lid of my portable computer" according to your preferences.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue. 2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next. 3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next. 4. click on finish.

• Computer will not be put into hibernation when I close the lid

  I have a problem with my laptop. It is a series of Toshiba C55. When I close the lid it will not be in hibernation, even if I set power options to do so. This happens not all the time, but it happens enough that it's boring. If I close the lid and it will not be in hibernation, which means that it is in danger of overheating if I put in my backpack. If I use the start menu, it just goes to the lock screen, that's what I suspect it is when I close the lid. Help on that would be great.

• When a close the lid of my portable computer Windows Media Player stops, and when I open it, it picks up.

  When a close the lid of my computer laptop wmp stops and when I open it, it resumes. This only happens on the battery. I have it set to not sleep, and there is no screen saver. I want to use my cell phone as an mp3 player without having to leave the lid open. is there anyway to prevent a break?

  original title: WMP stops when the lid is closed

  Open Power Options - you can do it from the control panel by typing Power Options in the start menu, or by right click on the battery icon in your system tray (right end of the taskbar.)
  Click on "change plan settings" for your current power management.  On the next page, click "Change advanced power settings".  On the box that opens, expand 'Power buttons and lid', then 'action close cover.'  Change the selection to "on battery" to the 'status quo', and then click OK.  Close the power Plan window.
