I could be wrong but I as far as I have seen when you open the lid a laptop doesnt start up, you normally have to press the power button once to take it out of stand by mode or hibernation mode. What power setting is your laptop under?

737118 2009-01-11 03:09:00 Not the fault of the vendor, so why, Gary67, offer a knee jerk response?

Yes, you pusha da button an mekka da wake up. Id is nodda faulty.

Otherwise it is too easy for the lid to be accidentally lifted when the machine is carried about and the battery thereby discharged.

Because so many people do more harm than good and then find the warranty is void

No not a MOE laptop, my mum brought it ....
Open lid AND press button and it still won't wake...so have sent it to stay on ....plus also in a recent update it has updated the bios which could apparently rectify this problem so will check that out next time I'm there. Thanks for the help...and advice..both sucky and good....lol
