    dv5 won't sleep; temps

    Couple of questions. I have a dv5 that recently decided it didn't want to go to sleep when I closed the lid. I checked the settings to make sure they hadn't accidentally been changed, but it's still set to sleep. I have not made any other changes or installed any additional software. Any ideas how I can get it back to sleep??

    Also, I posted this on another thread the other day, but am still looking for input:

    I'm using HWMonitor to monitor temps, and it does not show my hd temp. However, I am concerned about the temps it does show (THRM? and processor).

    My dv5 used to run at an average of 80C, and saw temps as high as 95C while streaming video. I sent it in for repairs and the temps have since dropped, but still seem high (Currently 50C, high of 86C while streaming video). Should I send it back for repair- again??

    could you perhaps post your exact temps?

    Sure! The temps won't show the same range as I was experiencing while streaming video (just browsing right now), and the low temps might be higher than necessary as I'm using it on my lap at the moment. But the current listed HWMonitor temps are as follows:

    THRM:
    Current 71C (159F)
    Min 58C (136F)
    Max 74C (165F)

    AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-80
    Current 69C (156F)
    Min 56C (131F)
    Max 72C (161F)

    does it use a little finger like thing that pops up and when you close the lid it pops in to know when the screen is open or close?

    Nope. But I have noticed that I can put it to sleep manually (fn+f5). But it won't go to sleep on it's own when shutting the lid.
