    1410 wakes from sleep by itself, but ONLY when lid closed

    My 1410 has a very strange problem. If I put it to sleep with the lid open, it will properly stay asleep for hours and hours.

    However, if I then close the lid, it will always wake up within 5 minutes (I can tell by the status lights). This happens regardless of the lid-closing action I have specified in Windows (hibernate, sleep, none).

    If I tell it to hibernate on lid-closure, it will hibernate properly. If I tell it to sleep on lid closure, and close the lid, it will go to sleep and then quickly wake up again. What the hell could be doing this, and how can I fix it?

    The laptop is a bone-stock aspire 1410, running windows 7-64, with up-to-date drivers and the latest BIOS (happened with old BIOS too).

    Mine does nothing when I close the lid, no matter what state I ask it to go into (although it obeys if I ask it to do nothing :rolleyes: ) I am using the original Vista and Bios.

    To me, yours sounds likely a hardware problem.

    Whereas mine is, I think, likely software.
