When I first got it, it was in I think sleep mode, because if I wasn't doing something it would nod off and then I would have to press the spacebar on my name to wake it up again. It was doing this seemed like every 15 minutes. I guess this was factory default setting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dgcnc" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 7:02 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Putting Laptop in Sleep Mode There is no reason you should not completely shut down your laptop at night. Mine is shut down every single night or even other times too. But, with most laptops that I am aware of, if you close down the lid, it goes into a dormant state and when you raise the lid so you can type, you have to put in your pasword and it comes back up. Is that what you are wanting or something different? -----Original Message----- From: Trish Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 7:01 PM To: Blind Computing List Subject: [Blind-Computing] Putting Laptop in Sleep Mode I need help going about putting my laptop into sleep mode or something like that when not in use, or is it ok to turn it off each night when not in use?
