| | All the new modes like the Sleep Mode and Hibernate Mode This might sound silly, but I can't seem to find the way to wake my laptop up after putting it into the Sleep Mode. I just got a new laptop, Toshiba Satellite A200-12V, and I tried the Sleep Mode once and I couldn't turn it back on. I pressed the Power button, and the power sign was on, but the monitor stayed off and the laptop was unresponsive. I had to turn it off forcefully and restart it. So I just use the Turn-Off Mode(this works fine), but if I leave it on for a few minutes, it will go into the Sleep Mode automatically and the same thing would happen again. Is there a "special Vista" way to turn it on or is it my laptop? I'm having a hard time changing from XP to Vista. Could anyone help me?  |

Double check your Power Plan Options in STEP TWO of this tutorial to make sure that they are set properly for "Sleep". Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | RE: All the new modes like the Sleep Mode and Hibernate Mode I had a similar problem with my Satellite (it would also inexplicably turn the monitor off about every 10 computing hours) until I installed the ROM update from the Toshiba site. Haven't been bothered since.
