Going from stand-by to hibernate ...

[tranle]

Hi,
I have a T41 with WinXP sp2 and I have the power save set to:
- 10 minutes => stand-by
- 15 minutes => hibernate

The machine will go to stand-by automatically but never hibernate.
I can manually force it to go stand-by or hibernate but the timer between these 2 states never kicks in.

Does anybody knows what I should check ?

Not sure why it is not working but do not understand why you would even want it to hibernete after 15 minutes. I leave mine in standby for days

Well,
when you are on battery then I prefer to have my machine completely shutdown. When you are hook up to the power it does not really matter.

I leave mine on standby over night during the weekend without the power hooked up. In the morning I have only lost 3-4%.

For me standby is the standard all weekend when I might get on my laptop 10 times a day. It take too long to re-establish the wireless connection from cold boot or hibernation. Connection with the Cisco Aironet takes only seconds from standby.

As in another post I just made, I lose about 75% overnight. Any reason why there might be such a drain?

My x40 will not go into hibernation by timer after standy either.
But this only happens on battery power if I am on AC
It will standby then hibernation. very strange.

If you loose 75% overnight in suspend, there must be a problem. I will put mine in suspend at maybe 8pm and wake up around 9am the next day and maybe have lost 4 to 5%. I do this every weekend and get the same result.

Just spoke with IBM tech Support. I guess it's a common problem,
when on battery, and the machine goes into stand by, then it will not go into hibernation. So they are developing a driver patch for this.
It will be according to him released on Nov. the 2nd.

I have the same problem, standby to hibernation works OK on AC, but not with battery, and my T40 will die after 24 hours on standby.

As another data point, and to further confuse the OP, my 2373-8CU T40 will remain in standby for 4 to 5 days on the 6 cell battery. The 9 cell battery will go for more than a week.
