Anyone else having trouble with their L501 staying asleep?
I unchecked any "allow this device to wake up computer"
and similar options in Windows 7 (64 bit ultimate) device
manager; but still the system wakes up randomly
from sleep. Powercfg -lastwake tells me it was the
power button, even though the button was not pressed...
-
I've been having this issue also, am not sure exactly what is waking it up but it's annoying.
-
Go to power options / advanced settings and change
"lid close" action to "do nothing" for both on battery
and AC power.
This essentially disables the lid sensor: my laptop no longer goes
to sleep automatically when I close the lid; but it also doesn't wake up
from sleep when I open the lid (only pushing the power button wakes it up).
Most importantly, it now stays asleep once in sleep mode (until
I press the power button, of course).
So the problem seems to be a calibration problem with the lid sensor:
it appears the sensor is over-sensitive and would send occasional
lid-open signals randomly. At any rate, that's my semi-wild guess
diagnosis of the issue...
