    So some of you may have seen my threads or posts regarding problems in getting my T400 into sleep or hiberate.

    Well after only a 2 minute phone call with Lenovo Tech Support they narrowed it down to a faulty mobo and are sending me a box.

    They first asked me to reformat, and I told them I did and still no success. And right after that I was told its a mobo problem and that they'd send me a box; it will get repaired in 3 to 4 days.

    Anyone else experience this problem? Apparently theres a problem with power not being transmitted correctly to be able to switch between the different states.

    I just got off the phone with lenovo and they are sending me a box. I would get BSOD's with XP or vista business. I had enough, I paid for ultimate, it crashes first time it was powered up. I call for ultimate recovery, they send me business twice. Business is slow as hell and freezes up almost every time, crashes on a regular basis. I have spent many hours recovering, downloading, drivers etc. Multiple hours on tech line. I hope they get it right and get me the computer I paid for.

    well sent it out Tuesday at 6pm and received it back Thursday at 8am. Thats like less than 48 hours i think. they send them overnight both ways.

    anyway, my freakin sleep problem is still here and now i'm assuming its some software conflict that i cant figure out. they replaced my mobo, updated bios, and did some PC diagnostic as stated on this repair sheet here.

    edit: actually it does work now. i dont know what i was doing earlier, perhaps it was due to me barely being awake.
