    Hi, I just received my laptop a few hours ago, and I noticed hibernating using F1 + Fn does not work. stand by works, brightness up and down works, and sound options work, but i can't hibernate using the hotkey. It works through shut down however.

    Yeah, that, or for some reason you might not have hibernation enabled, check in your power management options.

    as drumfu said, enable quickset. I had this problem after i reformatted--installing quickset fixed this.
