I just received this computer and I'm having trouble getting it to wake up from sleep mode. Any advice?

Hi Not Ned. Try unplugging all peripheral devices except the keyboard and mouse. Then hard boot. If that works plug in the disconnected peripherals one by one rebooting each time until the problem reoccurs.

Return it asap. Dell sent me three different Inspiron i660 desktop and none of them worked. Sorry.

Have you tried unpluging the power cord of the minitor and plugging it back in? It has a messed up sleep mode and the only way you can get it to display it when I turn my computer on is by doing that... its ridiculous I know

Mine has booted fine since purchase. Sounds like a power supply problem. Can you check to see if you have a voltage or on/off switch to the power pack on the rear of the pc and/or try a new power cord or surge protector? I don't know the warranty period, but it should be easily determined by looking at your amazon order history and reviewing the write up for this particular purchase.

Just got one of these too and swapped out the RAM. Exact same problem that you guys are talking about. It only seems to shut down completely with the original stick that came with the netbook. I've been trying every single configuration option for the last 5 hours, and nothing seems to work. Please let me know if you hear of any solution out there.

Hold down the reset button, I believe. We are still using it in a napping child's room. If this wasn't helpful enough, let me know and I'll look into it.

The keyboard does not have a power/on off sleep button. It is powerd from the usb connection.

I am not shore what to do. Mine is slow to boot up but has not gotten stuck. Ideas to try charging it all the way up even with a struck it should charge. Try holding down the power button and turning it off. Let it have time to charge and reset. Then see if you still have the problem. Maybe you could try this, unknown if it well work for curtain.

You have to open it to turn it on. But if you just put your laptop to sleep, you can wake it up (by moving your mouse or hitting a key on the keyboard) without opening it. With this set-up, I rarely every turn off my laptop.

There is a switch inside of the caddy next to the SATA Connector which I believe affects the sleep mode...maybe diagnostic mode as well. Not sure if they're linked.

Besides checking to see what the timing is on your computer power saver mode to see if it is putting the monitor to sleep, i would contact ASUS directly to see if they can repair or replace it.

It's a problem with the machine. It would do that whenever mine went to sleep and started up again. I tried everything, and talked to everyone with no success. I returned it. I got the V5-552PG-x809 when it went down to $669 and it is incredible. Everything works as it should.

I just received my case today and the auto wake/sleep function on the case is not working. Any help on this matter please?

Same here. I think I just extended the sleep mode until 30 minutes (did it yesterday) and it appears to have corrected it.

do you mean why does the display lights come on after you click the system off? In that case the system is in sleep mode. I don't know of that happening the other way around.

Sounds like a defect.. barely pressing button should change modes while a firmer press should click and power off..sounds like a lil bit of bad luck. :(

I didn't have to do anything to make it auto sleep. It just worked. Sorry, I wish I could help.

I cannot be sure of your exact setup as there are some hardware and software variations that could be ordered, but the version I have has no tangible delay on wake up. From the time I press the button to the moment I can begin typing is no longer than 20 seconds (just checked a few times) so i would look at connected devices, software that runs at startup that might not be needed, and remove unnecessary options. However, I have many connected devices and startup programs and no issue, so perhaps you should use the "Refresh Windows" recovery feature to reinstall Windows files while leaving yours intact.
