I have a Dell D610 and when I've finished using it I shut it down, normally once reopened the screen will resume and I can carry on as normal but now I have to reboot to get it to come back on.
Any ideas?
Hi,
it is possible that the latch is sticking. located under the lid.
try pressing the small button, with a small blunt screwdriver.
Failing this, adjust the settings in My Computer/Control Panel/Display settings or Similar. If they,re adjusted to hibernate/sleep/shut-down computer, when i close the lid.
this is where the problem will be. Try changing to Do-Nothing or similar.
Thankyou For Using Fixya.

Sorry I don't mean i shut it down I mean i shut the lid!
I have the same problem and my settings are set to "do nothing" when lid is shut. I've even tried switching the power management settings to never shut down anything - hard drive or monitor - it's a a pain in the **** to say the least. Mine doesn't shut down completely though - when I push the power button, the computer shuts down and then I have to power up again.
a setting in your bios would determine what the laptop does when you close the lid... it would seem the setting is now to shut down the computer
