199641 2003-12-11 23:13:00 HP Pavilion ze4315. I have my laptop set to hibernate after 30 mins of inactivity. How do you get it to come out of hibernate..I had thought by moving the mouse this would happen. It doesn't. The only way to reactivate is to hold the on/off button for 4secs+ and have the machine turn off and then reboot when I turn it on again. Have I missunderstood the principle of "hibernate"" ?
Should I being doing something else to reactivate the machine..the manual is not clear. Thanks

199642 2003-12-11 23:24:00 You should just be able to press the on off button to bring it out of hibernation. Moving the mouse or keyboard will only work when it is in standby mode which is different. Try just pressing the on off button.

199644 2003-12-11 23:32:00 Thanks B. I will try that again. I did try to do that previously and it would not reactivate, hence my holding the on/off button down for 4+secs and turning the machine off and then rebooting. Smurf Smurf (506)
199645 2003-12-11 23:33:00 I use a Compaq NX9005. It awakes from hibernation when I press the power button for half a second.
Have a look at the HP site. There are various combinations of applications which interfere with hibernation. For example multi-function printers.

Or your machine my have a software fault.
Good luck

199647 2003-12-11 23:42:00 Thank you to all that have replied. I am now going to hibernate and then try again. Smurf (506)
199648 2003-12-12 00:48:00 One other thing, I use Standby on the laptop, not Hibernate.

Many software packages are not happy under Hibernate.

Is this wise? Generally you should wait for winter before hibernating. Right now you should be gobbling down as much food as you can, followed by mating, and then a good long snooze. :)

199650 2003-12-12 01:43:00 Well I think you are right Godfather. I must have a software incompatibility with hibernation. It is certainly not working and even when manually trying the screen hangs indefinitely.

Winston..nice to see the sense of humour ! :-)
