Spooky Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Sounds like something is not set properly in the power profile. Did you save the changes to the power profile? Look in the advanced power settings at the profile your using, you will find lots of things there you can set.Hi,I have my Power Settings set as folows:(Plugged in settings)Monitor Off after 20min & do thing when I close the Lid.(On Battery settings)Monitor Off after 20min & Sleep on Lid down.the problem is that when I'm plugged in & close my Lid the monitor turns off, but when I open the Lid it never turns on.How can I fix it or at least check the source of the problem?

Biohead Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Is it going into always-available standby mode, rather than just turning the screen off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtK Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 How can I tell, the monitor won't turn on again... but seriously, I don't think so, cause Messenger is still connected (& other application seem to be still alive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtK Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Sorry, double-posted...even is this always-available standby mode is the issue, that's not what I want or set it to do... Edited January 3, 2007 by MtK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My laptop does the same thing.You're supposed to press the Power button after opening the lid.Basically, the lid doesn't act as a power switch, and needs the software to check its state (that's why it can turn *off* the computer, but never *on*).

Biohead Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I had this problem when I set in my power options to standby the laptop when the lid was closed. But because I shared media with my xbox360, I have Always-Available enabled so the machine doesn't fully go into standby, rather a lower power state. Whenever I opened the lid again though, it would not come back on, and it was hit-or-miss as to whether the power button would bring it back to life. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. I now have just set it to turn my screen off - like you - and it works fine now. What laptop do you have MtK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Off or sleep, it's much the same thing.The point is that the lid switch sends a signal to the OS which then decides what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
