Acer hangs in standby

Expand Post »

My Acer travelmate 230 suddenly don’t go in standby anymore. It hangs at the message that Windows is being prepared to go on standby. It is definitely NOT a software problem (Windows XP or driver) because I have restored a stable and working clean image without viruses etc. But the problem still exists. There was no change in hardware or bios. The bios is set to default.
It should thus be a hardware problem. Maybe something with the bios battery?

Re: Acer hangs in standby

Check the ACPI settings in BIOS. Some machine's default setting is "disabled".

Problem with this setting is that you will not be able to boot windows once it is changed. Windows will boot ONLY if this settings is set as it was set when windows were installed.
