    Hi folks,

    Just got my Studio 15 today. Configured with P8600, 2GB RAM, ATI 3450 and Vista Home Basic. Everything seems to be working fine except that Vista can't resume from Sleep.

    Any ideas?


    Thanks

    I've even done a clean installation of Vista and still it doesn't seem to be able to resume from sleep....

    Hi I too have this issue.

    Dell has been absolutely hopeless in helping.

    My laptop was delivered with BIOS A03 (which was up-to-date)
    What I did was back-rev the BIOS to A02 which works a lot better.
    Only every 5th or so times it doesn't wake up.

    I have tried the A04 BIOS today but i think its a little bit worse than A02.

    Let me know how you go.

    Drivers don't seem to help with this issue.

    For me the sleep issue occured with various operating systems, so it doesn't appear to be a OS issue.

    As I said above download the A02 bios from the dell website (goto drivers, click on the current bios, then click previous versions) and apply the A02 version to your system.

    This should resolve your issue.

    GOOD NEWS!!

    Dell just released BIOS A05 (sorry i can't post the link, i havent posted enough yet.)

    This new BIOS version A05 makes sleep work. I've tested it and sleep works 100% of the time!!

    Please note the link above is for Dell Studio 1537.Hope this works for you.
