    Hi everyone !

    Small issue that's been bothering me for a few months now. Everytime I put my T61 to sleep, ( Function F4 ), I go to wake it up and it always goes right back to sleep withen 15-20 seconds. So, I have to turn it back on twice. All the time.

    Any idea how to solve this ? If I shut it down normally, it's fine, but it always goes back to sleep after I wake it up from sleep.

    What OS are you running to begin with?

    Hmmm...I presume that you have all the latest drivers and Windows Updates installed?

    I've had machines start to behave funny with the latest version of Power Manager. You may want to check yours, and update or revert it as needed.

    Somewhere in my stash I do have a HDD with T61 image of Vista Business 32. Push comes to shove, if the above suggestion doesn't solve your problem, I'll get the drive out and try to replicate the issue on one of my T61 units.

    Good luck.
