| 878299 | 2010-04-21 02:31:00 | Can you try something -- in the power options, where it says " when close lid" (or words to that effect) select "Do Nothing". I looked on my laptop and you can change the options when the lids closed. Close then open the lid and see if it still "bonks". Ok - did that. It bonked on closing the lid for the first time and didn't bonk when I opened it presumably because it had done nothing. After that it was a bit variable sometimes bonking on shuttin, then opening. As I write this it's not bonking at all. |

Unless event viewer in Windows can do the same thing... Sorry, not familiar with Linux Yep - I thought event viewr might help - not sure where to find it. |

| 878306 | 2010-04-21 03:55:00 | Stating the now obvious - something is turning off and on. :rolleyes: After looking, many people have the same problem. Some of the causes are fingerprint readers on the laptops. Some are saying its the ACPI lid driver in device manager/ System Devices. I looked on my Laptop, and the ACPI Lid Driver entry says no driver (right click it, properties, Driver tab - Driver details. Are there any devices that are in the laptop, that can be turned on / Off, web cams, Wireless on/off etc ? Something, when the lid is closed, may be triggered to turn off to save power when in sleep/ Hibernation mode. |
