Hmm ... well I dunno then ... both my L50 and L100 with EZ-Bios never had any problems getting into the BIOS ... >>My L50 was set to hibernate after 10 minutes on standby which was nice >>but I've never been able to get hibernation working properly on my L100. >>In the end I just gave up and set it to disable hibernation so it'd >>always just go into standby (which isn't such a big problem given that in >>standby the L100 uses hardly any power, I lose about 1% of charge an hour >>compared to about 5%-10% with my L50). > >I presume you were setting the Standby and Hibernation values for your >L100 in the Toshiba Power Saver, right?

Actually I don't exactly know where I turned it off ... on my L100 I just turned off ANYTHIGN that made ANY mention of hibernation and it worked. The annoying thing is though that I've got to stop and unplug any PCMCIA cards before going into hibernation or Windows would do weird things when it woke back up again. I never had that problem with my L50 (I could suspend and/or hibernate with say a network card in there, unplug it, wake it up with a CD-ROM ATA card in and it'd detect everything and just work). Same with the docking station ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
