d820 doesn't resume from sleep when i open the lid
i installed vista on my d820 this week and to install the quickset program from dell, i needed to upgrade my bios from a01 to a05. i have my laptop set to go to sleep when i close the lid. under XP it woke up fine when i opened the lid, but after upgrading to vista and the newer bios, it doesn't wake up. i have to press the power button to wake it up.
don't know if this is a bios setting or something with vista - shouldn't have been so hastey and installed them both on the same day! oh well.
anyone else having this issue or know of a resultion?
It's normal to wake up the computer with the power button. Nothing wrong there. All current notebooks require that now. You should have updated bios before installing Vista.
i didn't know about the bios upgrade before the quickset installer prompted me for it. and the behavior is different that what i had under XP. not a big deal.
