    Hi,

    The X220t has two power buttons (one on the display, one on the device). Both are not working :-(

    In the control panel, Power Settings, I set that in both cases (AC and battery powered), the "Power Button" and the "Sleep Button" should enter the sleep mode.

    However, thing happens in all cases.

    Do I do wrong anything?

    Are you sure you changed the setting for the active power plan? If you have Power Manager installed, it might be conflicting with the Windows settings and you should change said settings in Power Manager instead.

    Hmm, i tried everything: With AC (Dock), without, both buttons. Nothing happens :-(

    What can I do if this is not resolved? Is it a hardware issue? Bring the device back?
