Computer won't return from sleep without pressing power button when lid is raised

Question

My friend is having a problem. She is using the Windows 7 operating system, and when she closes the lid, the computer goes to sleep fine. The problem, however, is when the lid is opened, it won't return from sleep unless she presses the power button again. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks

Answer 1

There is an option under the power settings "What to do when lid closes", you can tell it not to power off I believe, more information can be found here: link It is probably going into hibernation mode after a while.
