how can I change the notebook's settings so when I close the lid it does not hibernate or sleep or whatnot? Is there a way to make it so it just turns off the screen and leaves everything else on?
View 10 RepliesI have a problem with my Lenovo IdeaPad S206. Display isn't works correctly: sometimes it turns dark, especcialy when opening/closing notebook.
I think it's problem with LCD cable, but warranty period has timed out.
When I need to take my laptop to class, I always close the lid of the laptop, wait for the fans to turn off, unplug the magsafe and put in in my backpack.
When i get my laptop from my bag, the computer is vibrating (its on) and its burning.
i sometimes connect my notebook to the tv and watch films while doing something else at the same time. I tried Nvidias Dualview and Presentation Mode through the Fn+F8 key. But every time i want to watch just the tv and i close the lid - the dualview function turns off and the tv becomes the primary screen. But it gets worse - when i open the lid, the TV is still primary and the laptop lcd becomes the extended desktop.
I have E1705 and I use the 169.04 drivers and I ask you for help - is there any way to make the close lid event only turn off the backlight, without messing up the whole screen settings?
I have used the search, and this is the same issue as many others have described, and only provided an answer for Nvidia drivers.
I have an e1505 with XP pro installed. The video cardis ati mobility x1400. I have all but the trackpad drivers installed. Quickset is installed as well. The problem is when I close the lid of the laptop. The screen seems to resize and keep the icons at a lower resolution position. If I restart the computer, the icons loose the position and go into a standard grid on the left side of the screen. I can manually restart explorer through task manager. If I do this before i restart, the icons go back to a normal, non changed position. After restart, there is no change.
This issue only started after I plugged in an external monitor for the first time.
I have turned off quickset, and reinstalled the ATI drivers.
I have a new Dell Studio 1737.
When I close the top down and open it later,
usually the unlock screen appears and I can go back to doing whatever I was doing.
Sometimes there is only a blank screen and I can't do anything but unplug it and remove the battery so it'll start up again.
Should I be closing the top down or not?
And why doesn't it always start back up when I open it?
I have been using the apps on myspace to play a game called sorority life, and I have had no trouble until today. When I try to play nothing shows up? what do i do now?

I uninstalled this one as well leaving me with the bare bones driver that comes with windows. After installing the modded driver again and restarting it began to work again................................................
I own a Dell Inspiron 3521, and I'd been having an issue with apps not opening and closing when I do try. I went to fix this error. That's when I made a grave mistake. Somewhere along the line of me trying to fix it, I messed with something I shouldn't have and when I finished with my task, I was told to restart the computer to activate the settings. After I turned it back on it seemed normal up to the point after I saw the dell logo. It went black. At first I made the assumption that since I changed settings that it was still trying to configure them. But soon after, I saw my mouse and a little signal flash in the bottom left of my screen. So I checked around and found out that I needed to reinstall windows with disc or USB. But I don't have access to either of those.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to see what might be wrong with the Dell Latitude 2110. When I close the lid power shuts off. You can not turn it back on unless you take out the batter and power supply then plug it back in. The power settings in windows xp are all to never shut off. I also replaced the power jack and it did not change. I did a dell test and it gave me a error 2000-0412 auxilary lcd cable not detected error 0412 and error 0411 lcd board not detected error code 2000-0411. I have a display and everything just have the power problem when shutting the lid.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to repair a G6 model due to heat issues. The laptop is approx. 1 year old. From what I could read from the internet, It's due to dust build up mainly. 've completely cleaned the fan (incl. unmounting the fan cover), and change thermal paste on the CPU. The issue persists. With the program Speccy I read starting temps. for CPU of 90 degrees celsius. It's very different when the laptop shuts down. Sometimes it happens quick, other times it can run for hours. Even if the CPU is completely cold, it can shut down before windows even starts properly up. I manage to see temperatures over 150 degrees celsius which should be alarming high. Even 90 degrees seems VERY high to me. The air blown out from the fan doesn't seem hot. It's only mildly warm and the fan speed adjusts in accordance to the temperature. It starts to go up when going over 100 degrees. At 90-99 degrees it runs fairly slow.
If I try going to the BIOS, I only have seconds in there before the laptop shut down.
From my point of view, it must me either temperature sensors not working properly, or handling of the temperature sensors that's misinterpret, or simply the cooling system that's defect. I'm not sure how the cooling system works. The seating has a cobber pipe the leads to the radiator and fan. Does the pipe contain a fluid? Could the fluid somehow have vaporized?
I've had the cooling system dismounted? I haven't tried updating the BIOS, since I'm afraid I'll brick the laptop, if it shut down during the process.
Where is the temperature sensors placed on the board? Is the sensor for the CPU built in or is it placed besides/under it?
Is it necessary to have a notebook cooler for the Unibody MBP? My MBP goes up to the mid 50's degree Celsius, but it usually it is at the mid 40's degree celsius.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOnly way to restart is to press down the power button.
I've already tried several things (BIOS, video driver replacement) unsuccessfully.
the empty hole next to the clip where i clips the screen when you close it. To my guess is a 5-1 reader because i also have a modem port . My question is , is it normal that there is an empty hole with no casing inside? I mean there isn't a casing like for sd card or something , just an empty hole . What can i use it for since there is no casing for sd card? This is a picture i found from google.URL....

When using any program in desktop mode (first noticed it on Chrome, then Quicken, but really applies to any use), the cursor will randomly jump across the screen, usually to the upper right, and then without clicking, will close the window I'm working on, often losing my work. Sometimes I'll get random right-click menus without clicking the mouse buttons. I am using the track-point primarily, so thinking it might be inadvertent contact with the touchpad, I disabled all touch-pad functionality, but the problem persists.
I ran Norton Internet security, AdAware, and Malwarebytes to look for viruses but didn't find any problems. Just ran Lenovo update, and downloaded the most recent Ultra-Nav Driver. Now both touch-pad and track-point are using default settings, but the problem still persists.
I'm wondering if this a hardware or driver problem, or a windows 8.1 problem?
I'm using (handbrake) software for conversions to iphone and the heat builds up and even with smc fan control set at 6000 rpms it hits 82 degrees and tops out, is there a notebook cooler for my unibody macbook pro 17", I could get to keep it cooler ?
should I worry about thermal paste drying up on this cpu inside this notebook ?
One of our employees has an HP Pavilion G6 laptop. He uses an external display at work but has to keep the screen of the laptop open. If he closes the screen, then the video to the external display is power off.

Does Dell plan on releasing a new 12.1in notebook this summer? I currently have the 700m but I am thinking about something new. I see HP 2133. Its pretty slick but too small and lacks DVD drive. I think 12.1in is the smallest laptop I will buy.
