    Power Buttons won't put my X230 to Sleep!

    New TP X230, running Win 8 Pro (clean install).

    I have power options set to "Do Nothing" if the lid is closed, but to put the unit to sleep if I press the Power or Sleep button. (I don't know that the computer has a sleep button, so here I am referring to the power button.)

    The power button works to turn the unit on, including to wake it from sleep.

    But with the computer running, if I press the sleep button nothing happens at all, although I have it set to put the computer to sleep.

    What might be going wrong? (And is there a sleep button?)
