IBM-T61 Laptop

Post by wnf15 »

Hi everyone,i need help. There is somthing wrong with my IBM-T61 Laptop. I used to click Fn+F4 to make it sleeping and press any key to wake it up. But w when I wake it up by clicking some key,the screen is still being dark even i can hear the hard drive starts operating. I have to force shutdown it each time, and restart it. Has any of you meet the same problem? any suggestions for me? Due to it's out of warranty...just for help, cheers

make sure the power settings are set so that it wakes up on a key press. i rember this happened to one of my old laptops, but this laptop would be getting messed up all the time becasue in the winter the cat would sit on the keyboard all day to keep warm :lol:

to bring the T61 out of sleep mode you should be hitting a Fn key by itself not "any" key. Also you might want to check the Thinkpad Configuration Program to see what setup you have for the key combo's or even change it.
