    All,

    If I hit Fn + F1 (Hibernate) the system will not go in hibernation mode. It does nothing.

    If I hit Fn + Esc (Stand by) the system goes in stand by fine enough.

    If I click Start - Shut Down, I see the Hibernation option. I can select that, and the system goes in hibernation mode without issues.

    For the life of me however, I can not seem to get the quick key combination (Fn + F1) to work.

    Do the keys need to be mapped somehow?

    Any and all help is appreciated.

    Is Hibernate enabled in your Power Options?

    Yes it is enabled in my Power Options.

    As I noted above, when I click Start - Shutdown, I do see Hibernate as an option. I can select that, and it works great.
