| 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 |

| 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 Winston001 |

| 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. |

| 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 ! :-) |
