    I just got my x230 yesterday and I'm having some weird issues.
    (1) whenever my laptop goes to sleep mode. I can't seem to make it wake up. The power button would just slowly blink and would not respond to anything. I would have to hard reset my laptop for it to turn on. When I turn it back on, it would go the "Start windows normally" screen.

    (2) whenever i close the lid, I'm guessing it tries to go to sleep mode, then if I wake it up, the system seem to reboot and would go to the "start windows normally" screen.

    Both seems to all relates to sleep mode. Does any body have the same issue? I saw the same issue got posted on another computer forum but with no solution

    Thanks.

    ok, in case anyone has the same issue.

    I may have fixed the problem. I tried upgrading the ram (from 4gb to 16gb). Now sleep mode works as its supposed to be.

    I guess 4gb wasn't sufficient for x230. It sucks that I had to upgrade something just to make the unit work. I was hoping to test run this unit for a month without upgrading.

    oh well......
