    Hi there!

    My NP7280 went into sleep mode and won't wake up*
    Usually it would just wake when I pressed the power button

    Currently it would just blink twice when I tried to power on, I tried with battery or just the PSU alone, and it shows the same no Fans are turned on nor other lights on the dashboard..

    Is there any solution to it? I need to access my Data urgently
    Thanks in advance~


    Btw if Babyhemi is watching, I might need serious help this time :(

    Try the power drain and CMOS/BIOS battery reset. If nothing works you probably will need a new mobo.

    I tried to power drain it but its still appears the same, will need the manual for CMOS battery reset.

    Will most likely try it tomorrow, as its late now (I don't live in.the states)

    Thanks Aikimox!

    How did you do the power reset? Did you hold down the power button until the lights went off and removed the battery? Doing that and turning it back on should bring it back if it was just stuck in sleep/hibernate.

    It happened that I needed to reseat that CMOS Battery, I tried draining without anything plugged in for 30s, tried restarting with battery in (force shut down failed), Babyhemi showed me the service manual since I'm only left with my Mobile phone (Sager's down)

    All working as per normal now ;)
    Thanks Malibal, Aikimox and Babyhemi for the help!!
