ThinkPad models 380 and 380E
The LCD screen does not turn on from "Turn off monitor" power scheme
when user moves TrackPoint pointer or PS/2 mouse device.
This is a hardware limitation.
Press any keyboard key to turn-on the LCD display monitor.
All ThinkPad models
Excessive keyboard or mouse movement while system returns from Standby
will cause pointing device to malfunction.
Continuous movement and activity with the TrackPoint device or keyboard
while the system resumes from Standby produces incorrect responses when
the pointing device is reset.
Do not touch the keyboard or TrackPoint device while system is returning
from Standby. If the keyboard or pointing device does malfunction, place the
computer back into Standby , and then wake up the computer to recover.
ThinkPad 380E and ThinkPad 760 Series models
When system resumes from RTC (configured by ThinkPad Configuration
Utility) with BIOS "Power on Password" enabled, the pointing device and
keyboard do not function afterwards.
Do not set the BIOS "Power on Password" setting under Windows 2000
when RTC is enabled. Instead, use the operating system "Prompt for
Password" protection when RTC is enabled.
ThinkPad models 390, 390E and 390X
When the system enters S1 state such as waking system from Standby using
USB input device, the system wakes up when attaching or detaching the AC

adapter.

This is a hardware limitation.
Do not attach or detach the AC adapter while the system is in S1 sleep state.
