very minor sleep issue with G73

OK, I did search and have seen this mentioned but any talk of this is burried deep in another thread.

I have commented on this before but can't find a fix if there is one.

My G73 sleeps just fine with no power drain issues, fan issues, or temp issues. The only issue is when I hit the power button to wake it up it powers up just fine and the keyboard lights come on. The screen stays black though. I had figured out that if I hit any key (usually hit the space bar) I get the chime like it just woke up but the screen is still off... If I hit ctrl-alt-delete the screen comes on and it goes to the log out/task manager screen and everything is back to normal.

This is only a minor inconvenience so its far from a deal breaker but I just want it to function normally ya know....

Anyone else with this or know of a fix...

I have tried this from the stock bios all the way to the 209 which I am using now. Also tried all the vid drivers from stock to 10.5... This minor issue has persisted in every combo.

 

No idea. I don't have any issues with sleep right now. Hmm maybe try an ATi forum? I suspect it's more a ATi GPU thing than a G73 bios issue.

 

I had the same issue. It has stopped since I was able to update the vBIOS to 209. Did you do the same?

 

07torchgt, I noticed you are on 209. I am on 209 with stock video drivers, and do not have this issue, (sleep or hibernate)
Have you tried going directly to hibernate instead of sleep?
Do you have powerplay turned on? I have it enabled, and set to Max perform on battery and plugged in.
Last idea, Do you have a password set for windows? I do not and in power options - don't require a password (on wake up) is set.
Good luck and please do not pass any Lambo's

 

thanks for the input guys...

i am on 209 and have tried all the driver releases and i still does it no matter what

powerplay is set to max performance when plugged and there is no password

hibernate works perfectly... its only when waking up from sleep though

 

I have this issue on my other asus notebook, but not on my g73. I think it might have something to do with ATK driver. Just a guess, considering it only happened since I reinstalled windows, and I didn't do a full install.

 

I just got this computer and am too lazy to read the manual. Stupid question: how do you put it in sleep mode

 

You read it a bedtime story from the manual.

Press the sleep button.

 

Fn + F1 ftw!!!!!

 

Technically, FN +Esc will make it sleep too if you're not on BIOS v209.








...don't try this.

 

lol... guys are funny lol
