Won't wake up from standby

When I use the Fn+F4 keys to put my Acer Aspire One into standby, I can't wake the thing up again.

I try pressing the sleep (power on) button, the silver one top right with the green LED (still lit). No response. closing the lid and reopening, no respones. None of the other keys wake it up.

Seems to be a "coma mode" rather than standby to me

But the only way out is to press and hold the sleep button and do a full reboot.

Any ideas ?

 

Happens to me too... It doesn't necessarily have to be when I use the Fn +F4 keys either. It happens every once in awhile when I close the lid.

 

This is because of the webcam driver. Uninstall the driver and reinstall it as a generic webcam and it will work fine.

 

I am having the same issues.

Can someone confirm its the webcam driver?

It seems the webcam should have nothing to do with it.

 

I just discover the same problem half hour ago. I updated the crystal eye webcam driver using device manager and it is waking up from sleep now.

I have the 160gb 6cell battery model.

 

Changing the webcam driver seems to have fixed this problem on my machine. See the solution described in detail in this thread. So far so good.

 

Problem solved....turns out it was the Webcam driver the whole time.

Here are the directions pulled from the thread provided above:

UPDATE: I found a much more straightforward way to do this. In the Device Manager, Property, I chose Update Driver, Install from specific location, Don't search, and then picked USB Composite Device. Suyin went away. It remains to be seen whether this solves my hanging-in-standby issue.


PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!

 

Thanks stutter55 change webcam to generic usb did the trick re lockdown.
