when i leave my new T60P sitting and it goes into hibernation I can't get it to come back to life. Doesn't matter if I press the function key or anything else. I have to restart it. ideas?

The Fn key is good only for getting the laptop out of standby, not hibernation. You need to press the power button to get out of hibernation, which is actually an "off" rather than "sleep" state.

Just to elaborate - Hibernation is just like "Turn Off" except the computer saves every speck of RAM to a disk file first. When turned back on, it reads the disk file into RAM and you are then exactly where you left off. A nice feature. IMHO.

Yes....nice if it works correctly.

There are limited occasions when this feature works propperly.

If you are working on something important, I advise disabling the feature.
