    Sorry if this thread was already posted. I did a search and nothing came up.

    I have an inspiron 1521 and can't figure out how to make it not go into hibernate. And when it is in hibernate, I go to turn it back on (tapping the power button once) and instead of booting up, it shuts off entirely. It's not supposed to shut off unless I hold the button down. How the hell do I fix this??

    You can disable hibernate. Also, to come out of hibernate, tap any button other than the power button.
