    M5310 won't restore power after hibernation?

    Each night I hibernate our computer and on occasion when I go to power up in the morning it will not start. The power light comes on near the power button but the computer is totally non-responsive and will only respond to the power button being held down for a few seconds then I repeat the process with no further success.
    I have noticed when it does this a light at the bottom the keyboard comes on. It looks like disc. (sorry I don't have my manual to know what that light represents). However, on a successful start up that light will flash then go out and the one next to it comes on.
    Usually after many tries and a few hours later the system will start normally but it is very frustrating not being able to use it when I need to.
    Any ideas on what is causing this and what I can do to prevent it from reoccurring (I'm not very tech savvy but I'll try any suggestions provided to the best of my abilities!)
    Thanks.

    check ur peripheral devices and uncheck the option to "turn off the device to save power".

    cheers ...
