R52 has to be unslept twice?

Recently my otherwise-trusty R52 has been having trouble unsleeping. I'm on XP SP2, everything up to date.

I generally sleep from the Start menu/Turn Off/Sleep, and that works ok (I find the physical power button and lid unreliable to initiate sleep).

When waking from sleep, all seems well at first -- it opens to the XP login screen as expected. I can log in ok. But then a little while after successfully logging-in, the thing re-iniates the sleep mode and nothing will stop it.

After that, I can unsleep again straight away -- and it then works just fine!

Any ideas please? Thanks,
Stewart.

Perhaps you have a Virus, What virus scanner are you running?

I have a similar problem---enters sleep mode after A31 returns from hibernation. Google to find two potential fixes from Microsoft.

In the power settings is the machine set to "hibernate when I close the lid of my cmptr"?

No virus -- I'm running CA eTrust.

No, it's set to Stand by for that.

I've looked at:

But I'm not seeing anything relevant to my problem. Thanks anyway.

I had the same problem on an R40 after the system board was replaced (thankfully, under warranty).

The solution for me was incomprehensible, but with hindsight very simple: I merely had to "safely remove" the DVD/CD-RW drive from the Ultrabay.
I believe I then just plugged it back in and had no problem ever after. But it is possible that instead I also sent the computer to sleep while missing the optical drive, and then forgot I did so.

Anyway, it's so simple it's well worth a try, even if I would be anything but surprised if it didn't work for you.

Good luck,

Giacomo

Thanks for the suggestion, Giacomo. Unfortunately this did not work in my case. I tried various combinations of your suggestion, but no luck. I'm glad it worked in your case.
