Hi guys I need help. I have the power settings for my notebook to turn off display after being idle for 10 minutes (when pluged in,5 minutes when not), however I cant get the screen to resume (by either touching a key or the touchpad) without either restarting or putting it in standby and then waking it up. Any suggestions?
-
Sounds like my problem, too! Except my power management is set to NOT to power down my display after a while. It STILL goes off, and can't come back on until I shut down or put it into standby and resume.
So obviously the OS is still running - just no display.
What OS are you running? It only happens in XP, but not Vista ( dual boot ). -
I'm running XP it stopped for a while when I updated my touchpad drivers but I dont know what happened.

I think I have the same problem.
I have the setting in the power management window, that turns off your display after a few minutes and even the one to turn it off when you close the lid, off.
Yet when I close the lid for like 2 minutes. I open it back up to a blank screen which I need to then stand by and awake.
Is there any way of fixing this? Bios? Something? -

I'm surprised this hasn't been stickied, had a tough time finding it.
A lot of people have had this problem, I think. -
I got the same problem, but when i close the lid, and then reopen it it goes on...it's not a big deal, but it's annoying... maybe I'll try the fix?!

Is it right, that you have to request the Update?
