    Hello,

    I just purchased this laptop a little over a month ago, and I've just recently been having an issue with the power: when my computer sleep, it will not turn back on (screen has no power), even with hitting the power button. The only way to fix this is to hold the power button until the indicator light at the front of the laptop turns off -- and then I am able to power on the machine again. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, is there a solution?

    Cheers,

    I'm still having issues with this. Is there a driver I should be updating or something?

    Thanks,

    When you attempt to wake the computer from sleep, does the system actually wake up (but show no picture)? Or does the laptop not respond whatsoever to being woken up (no apparent change in activity)?
