CF-29 - Backlight doesn't turn back on after Standby?

Hi All!

I was wondering if anyone knows the solution to this. The 29 goes into standby but then when I bring it out the backlight doesn't turn back on. This is the 3rd 29 that I've worked with that has had this behavior...is there a setting I'm missing or maybe some panasonic software I'm not loading? Other than that issue, they've worked flawlessly.

Thanks for your help

 

I believe their might be a setting for that under Control Panel>Power Settings.

 

I had that happen to my CF-29... and I got sick of troubleshooting it, a fresh install of XP fixed it. Probably some corrupted driver somewhere.

Glad to be of no real help.

 

Hmmm, now that you mention the corrupt driver...I wonder if it is the video driver that is the problem...I'll have to play with that and report back..

 

I had an old Dull 800MHz Inspiron that used to do this every time is went into Hibernation or Standby... It had something to do with the video driver.

 

While there is a setting that controls this, many older intel video drivers were plauged with this issue when Windows XP hit the market. There is almost always an updated driver available, it is just a matter of tinkering around.

As a general rule with Windows i always run something like DriverCleaner when changing video drivers.

 

Okay, I finally got around to working on this problem and the solution was the video driver. After a reinstall of the video driver, the backlight worked perfectly after coming out of standby. Thanks for the help!
