Sleep or hibernation problems
The critical low-battery error
message appears, and the
computer immediately turns off. • The battery power is getting low. Connect the AC adapter to
the computer, or replace the battery with a fully charged
one.
The computer enters sleep
mode immediately after Power-
on self-test (POST). • Make sure that:
- The battery is charged.
- The operating temperature is within the acceptable range.
See “Chapter 2. Use and care Information” of Lenovo Safety
and General Information Guide.
Note:If the battery is charged and the temperature is within range, have the computer serviced.
The computer does not return
from sleep mode and the com-
puter does not work. • If the computer does not return from sleep mode, it may
have entered hibernation mode automatically because the
battery is depleted. Check the power indicator.
• If your computer is in sleep mode, connect the AC adapter
to the computer, then press any key or the power button.
• If your computer is in hibernation mode or power-off state,
connect the AC adapter to the computer, then press the
power button to resume operation.
Note: If the system still does not return from sleep mode, your system has stopped responding, and
you cannot turn off the computer; reset the computer. Unsaved data may be lost. To reset the
computer, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds or more. If the computer is still not
reset, remove the AC adapter and the battery.
