    The keyboard will illuminate, but I have to turn off the computer, and turn it on again, very frustrating, running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. Any ideas??

    The culprit is usually drivers failing to wake up.

    seaching would solve because there've been quite a few people who've had the same problem.
    the problem seems to have different causes and solutions:

    I would make sure you are using all the latest BIOS and drivers from the DELL website. Then try hibernation again.
