    All of a sudden my 1520 does not wake from sleep when the lid is re-opened, checked power options and lid closed setting is set for sleep.

    Dell is recommending a complete windows install, are they crazy, i don't feel like spending hours for a minor problem.

    I have to open and close at least 4 times till it finally wakes, I can set it for instant on but then I'm not password protected, only protected after sleep.

    Any info please, Thanks
