    Hi all,
    I have a M1330 with windows vista Ultimate and i took sat it aside this morning after i closed the lid and 4 hours later i came home and i wondered why it was so warm, Not hot, just warm, and i opened lid but nothing happened,
    so i had to plug it in and it started right up, which means the battery was empty, anyways, i checked everything in power options, like closing the lid it should standby and etc.... please help. thanks.

    There could be a problem with the switch which tells the laptop that the screen is closed.
