    Good day all,
    I have an odd problem on my T61.
    Just yesterday I updated the BIOS for my computer via. the Thinkvantage Productivity center. That went great. Now I've been noticing that when I put the laptop into sleep mode (via. FN + F4) at certian times the computer will turn on, but the screen will remain off. This is such a PITA, because then I have to restart the computer and wait for it to restart. Any ideas on why this is happening ? This does not happen every time, but more it DOES happen about ever other time I wake it up from sleep. This just started a few days ago, and is really annoying. I checked all the options under power manager for the screen to be on, etc.
