2420.0. "Hinote won't wake up" by ANNECY::HOTCHKISS () Thu May 29 1997 09:22

    I have an original Hinote ct475.It is effectively new since it has had
    two new mother boards,two screens and three batteries in the last 3
    months..still,I digress.
    When I close the lid,it suspends but won't wake up again and needs
    rebooting.This happens with or without the net or AC power.I have bios
    1.42.
    Any ideas.It seems to be independent of the power/lid settings too.

	Good idea - just send me your cost centre.... ;-))
2420.3	This worked for me	NWD002::FEIGLE		`Tue Jun 03 1997 00:04`	10
	I had the same problem.... figured it was the color of my shirt that day. After leaving the machine on charger for 24 hours and still no result, I went into desparation mode. Took the whole machine apart, including disconnecting the CMOS battery. When I put it back together, it worked <duh>. P.S. I also changed the color of my shirt? You figure.... jff
2420.4	there must be another answer	ANNECY::HOTCHKISS		`Tue Jun 03 1997 06:15`	7
	re -1 If I do this I'll probably break something else. Does anybody know what settings I should have in the power management to get the machine to switch off when I close the lid and start when I open it. Is it too much to ask to NOT have to spend at least an hour per day screwing around with unreliable PCs?

	re -1 true but sad
2420.7	Macintosh rathole	FUNYET::ANDERSON	OpenVMS pays the bills	`Tue Jun 03 1997 15:17`	6
	re -1, Why is it sad? Macs have always been easier to set up and use than PCs. I guess it's sad that DIGITAL doesn't sell them. Paul
