My laptop will go to sleep BUT when I wake it up I get a backlight and fan, and that is it.
To recover, I must disconnect power, pull the battery, replug all that and cold boot.
It just started this about a week ago. Before that it worked just fine.
A windows update may be responsible as I have not changed any drivers and I found the video driver to be older than what was installed when I rolled it back. No power config exists in BIOS.
Averatec 6210 - no W7 or Vista drivers for most stuff including video.
All as new as I can find --But again it worked just fine till a week ago.
2GB ram
W7 x86 7600
It doesn't matter if it is plugged in or on batteries.
It doesn't matter how it goes to sleep - manually or by programmed timeouts.
It doesn't matter how I try to wake it up - mouse movement, power button
No usable info from POWERCFG -energy
