HP Pavilion N5415 Information Note page 3

System goes to standby even when timeouts are disabled
The computer enters standby after a random amount of time. This may happen even though the
standby time has been set to never in the Power control panel applet. This will happen only if
hibernation is enabled.
To workaround this condition, follow these instructions:
1. Open up the Power Options control panel applet by clicking Start, Settings, Control Panel and
then double clicking the Power icon
2. Click the Hibernation tab
3. Uncheck the hibernation checkbox
4. Click the Power Scheme tab
5. Set the standby time to a value other than never. If you are using a computer with battery
power capability change the standby time similarly for the battery also.
6. Click Apply
7. Set the standby time back to Never
8. Click Apply
9. Click on the Hibernation tab
10. Check the hibernation checkbox
This should be done for each power scheme used.
Pad Lock button
When you disable (or reenable) the touch pad by pressing the Pad Lock button, avoid contact with
the touch pad itself at the same time you are pressing the Pad Lock button. Simultaneous contact
will not allow the Pad Lock button to work properly until a delay occurs.
TV set after resume
If you are using a TV set as the monitor for your computer and it does not work properly after
standby and resume, check to see that the BIOS setting for Video Display Device is Auto (which
is the default setting):
1. Shut down Windows and restart the computer (Click Start, Shut Down, Restart).
2. When you see the HP logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
3. In the Main Menu, select Video Display Device and set it to Auto.
4. After you have finished making changes, press F10.
Press Enter, then Enter again, to confirm and reboot the computer.
Running the Tour of Windows 2000
