Here is something that I was thinking may work, and some links support that.
Laptop turns off instead of going to sleep when I close the lid? - Laptops - Laptop Tech SupportI had the same problem and force installing the latest BIOS update fixed the issue. Basically, I installed BIOS v208 over v208.
If WinFlash says that you already have the latest version and cannot upgrade it, just start the WinFlash.exe using /nodate parameter.
Yes it was coming with windows 8 "downgrade to windows 7". The problem is, its annoying to not close the lid while I'm sleeping or away from the lap. So, it would be better if I can let it continue working while closing the lid.
thanks,
You did not comment on my post? There was an answer there with success as my Quote showed.
Just from a quick google search I see many problems with this laptop that are similar, but not exactly like yours. They all were associated with drivers that were not working well on that laptop. This is probably the reason seeing you are running Ulitimate and there are no official drivers for it. Have you checked the Device Manager to see if all drivers are installed and working properly?
There are no drivers for any specific version of windows 7, all versions use the same drivers to suit the hardware fitted, some hardware may not be fitted to laptops that have different versions of windows installed, but this is not related to the versions directly.
Now lets see what we know ...
The switch off is not directly related to the lid closing, there is a a delay of ten minutes from closing the lid until the device switches off,
there are a number of options in the Power settings that use a timer to switch off the laptop a set number of minutes after it becomes Idle (ie. no user input, like if the lid was down)
Maybe it's time to check the other power options that relate to Sleep/Hibernate/Power off on Idle
Nasty7 gave a good suggestion: Open device manager and see if you have any yellow alerts from missing drivers.
Also, how I update the BIOS? without losing my files (is it make me losing them?)
You will see a Yellow Triangle with an Exclamation Mark on it if there is a Driver Missing. But some were reporting that the wrong driver, or a bad driver install was causing issues also.
Where, or who installed the drivers if there are none at the Official Page. Someone would have to had searched for them and got the right ones to install. Most might install automatically, but some won't.
I would lend more help buy my skills are not all that good.
Did you Re-Start the pc after making these changes? that may help but cannot say for sure.MiX QUOTE: Note: I've edit the options in the battery to not do anything while close the cover, but its turning off.
Please help & sorry for my English
