    In the morning I put my m14x to sleep before I go to work. Every day when I come home the computer is off, and will not power back on until I unplug the power cord from it. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Check your settings in AlienFusion.

    The computer could be going from sleep to hybernate to off, depending on your settings.

    As for the power cord thing, I don't know. Maybe it's on hibernate and since unplugging it sends a command to go into battery mode, maybe this is what's turning it on.

    Just turn it off before leaving for long periods.
