    I own a A215-S7462 and I recenty developed a weird power problem. I had the toshiba power program on it and after I tryed to resume from the screen saver my screen would go black but would resume after I hit the power button and everything was already set at max settings, so I removed the toshiba power program and started using the windows default power settings also setting those to never! My operating system is win xp home sp3 and my bios version is 1.7. Anyway the problem has started all over again as described above! i'm at a loss to figure out exactly what is going on, maybe since my Bios is for vista I should flash it back to the 1.5 version. any help with this problem would be very appreiated!
    thanx!!!!
