    My T61's specs are listed in my sig. I have the latest nVidia 180.84 drivers.

    Any idea why my computer absolutely refuses to wake from sleep? All I get is a black screen when I press the power button to turn it back on after it goes to sleep.

    Sorry, I don't know the exact answer here.

    From past experience with other brands, I've had this happen to me 3 times and every time it has been a video driver issue. If nobody else here comes up with more concrete suggestions for you, maybe reinstall the video driver or even try an older version.
