Hello there,
As I said in my title, my laptop has stopped waking up from sleep mode as of 3 days ago. This is a pain in the butt and I'd like to get it fixed. I've looked around these forums a bit for similar problems and haven't really found a solution.
About the problem:
-When my computer goes into sleep mode, it will not wake up to any external input. I did wake it up to random key pressing once a few days ago, but other than that I've had to remove the battery and power and restart it.
-There is no activity whatsoever when I try to wake it up. The LED over the power button blinks normally as it does when sleeping, but no external input does anything (even holding the power button).
-Hybrid sleep and hibernate have been turned off for quite a while.
Info about my computer:
-Running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit (which has been installed for about a year or so of the two years I've had it)
-It's an HP Pavillion dv6700 (model is dv6824ca)
-Not sure what else needs to be known, I'll provide info as needed.
The only notable thing that has happened before the problem occurred was a windows update. I guess I could system restore to before the update and before it first happened; is there anything I would need to back up before doing this?
Thanks in advance for all help.
