2. the secound thing, i have error messege from the HDD Active protection but it's only when i flip the computer, if it horizontal, every thing is ok, but if fro example, i want to work with it from my bed, and flip it 180 degers i get this error messege and only after restart it came back to work.

sorry about my bas english.

Thanks allot

 

aghh..........I tried really hard to read your post....
For your first problem, it's a normal thing that the computer runs into
sleep mode when you close the lid. However, you can let the computer stay on even if u close the lid. To do this, go to the control panel--->Power management-->advanced to change the different options.

I don't think I understand your second question, sry,man.

 

kastro, how exactly are you holding your computer in bed? Do you turn it so that the keyboard is vertical, at a 90 degree angle from a flat horizontal surface? To be more specific, this is how the keyboard would be during normal use: __

Are you holding your computer with the keyboard like this: |

If so, holding the computer at such an angle may disable the hard drive protection.

 

Kastro...

i think u got both of ur answears...

closing the lid makes ur system to go to standby..
nothing strange with it.. its normal for thinkpad..
you can change the settings to go to hibernate or shut down..
from power management in control panel..

and i think..
active protection is protecting ur HDD when ur are flipping ur Z61 over..
and thats why it gives u the msg..
and that makes sense... u should avoid doin that...

 

yes you are right, i am holding my cmputer like this : | in my bed, 180 degree.

and about that my computer is get into sleep mode, i know that is normal when we closed to lcd screen the computer is sposse to get into this mode but i dont think that it start to ger into this mode in 45 degree open !!!
in my old T43P only when i closed it about 5 degree it get into sleep mode and this is normal posiosn. you can see in the scound picture that this is the mode that start sleep mode!!!! this is noraml ????

Thanks.

 

neither of those sound normal to me. i would call lenovo if it were me.

 

can someone tell me at what degree the LCD have to get into sleep mode?

 

my x60 at I estimate 65-70 degrees from vertical

 

Usually just a few degrees from closing, 45 degrees is odd because there should be a little piece of plastic at the back of the keyboard that gets pushed in to tell the notebook to go to sleep (or the lid is closing). Maybe yours is really sensitive. If you want to disable this from happening, you could go to Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced > and then select "Do Nothing" as the option for the lid closing -- you'll have to remember to put it to sleep yourself when you close the lid though or the battery will drain when it's closed.
