    About 99% of the times, that I try to recover my Dell Vostro 1510 from suspend it doesnt work. I hit the power button to resume and the power light and WiFi light stays lit but the screen doesnt turn on and it stays like this. I have to hold down the power button to turn it off and turn it back on. How can I resolve this?

    Windows Vista SP1



    I have the latest BIOS from Dell.

    Have you tried reinstalling your video driver and/or updating/rolling back said driver(s)?

    ... and the stock Dell drivers? Older versions of the ForceWare drivers? Do those not work too?

    Ignore this (apologies if any offence taken)

    I had the same thing happen to me

    make sure you delete any and ALL NVIDIA/Display related drivers you have on your computer, use a driver cleaner utility if need be

    http://www.download3k.com/System-Utilities/Other-Utilities/Download-Driver-Cleaner-Professional.html

    try that one

    then, head on over to the nvidia website, and search for the drivers on there

    www.nvidia.com -> Download Drivers -> Download Drivers -> Product Type: Geforce, Product Series: Geforce 8M Series (Notebooks), Operating System: [select whatever your using], Language: English (US), Click Search -> Agree to the terms and download

    install those

    make sure you restart during any installation/uninstallation of drivers no matter how irritating it may become!

    this should fix the issue

    good luck

    Drivers on nVidia.com are VERY old.
