Could some kind soul try entering the bios (F2 at Boot ) and closing the lid. Could you tell me if the Vostro goes into sleep mode?
When I first got my Vostro just less than a week ago it kept going into sleep at random times even when I was using the mouse/keyboard. The problem then seem to go away so I put it down to a driver issue. Everythings been fine upto today and now for some reason when I close the lid it doesn't go into sleep. I have checked all the setting and they all seem OK. The Vostro will go to sleep if I select sleep rom the shutdown menu.
I have read that the sleep mode should occur in the BIOS screen when you close the lid. When I close mine it doesn't sleep.
What with the initial problems I'm thinking there is a problem with the lid sensor and the acpi lid event is not firing.
If someone could try closing the lid in the Bios to see if the vostro goes into sleep I would appeciate it.
