Hello,
Perhaps the hibernation file got corrupt? You might want to remove
it, run a CHKDSK, and then recreate it. Here's how to do that:
1. Open an elevated Command Prompt (filename: CMD.EXE) as you
normally would.
2. At the prompt, type "powercfg /h off" to disable hibernation
(this will remove the HIBERFIL.SYS file used by the system for
hibernation).
3. At the prompt, type "chkdsk c: /b" to perform a detailed test
of the file system on drive C:. A reboot may be required for
the chkdsk to run, which can take a while.
4. If you had to reboot, open an elevated command prompt again
and issue a "powercfg /h on" command to recreate the HIBERFIL.SYS
file and enable hibernation.
Hopefully that should solve the problem.

Aryeh Goretsky

Hello all,
Late last night my X220 was working fine. I don't remember whether I
hibernated
or just shut the lid, but this morning it wasn't working. It may or may not be
working now, I hit the power button to document for this email what
it does, and
I got a "System Resume?" message. I don't know if it will recover or if it's
okay, so here's what was happening this morning.
When I opened the lid the only light was the fingerprint reader. I
hit the power
button, the fingerprint reader light turned off, the keyboard light blinked,
capslock blinked, the battery indicator light went on (and maybe
off), and then
it sat there with only the power button lit (and maybe the battery indicator).
The HD indicator never blinked. If I plugged it in, the AC-power indicator
didn't light. It just sat there with the fan running. If (after a
few minutes) I
hit the power button again, the fan went quiet, the power button was dark, and
the fingerprint reader was lit (the last state is what you'd expect, I guess).
Now as I said, while I was typing this on another machine, I hit the button to
make sure I had the above behaviour right, and it booted. And went
to an (80x25
display) message saying the last attempt at System Resume (?)
failed, did I want
to continue or to go something else. I said continue and eventually I got a
Windows prompt and what looks like its last state. :) Battery says 0:54 so it
wasn't like a phone when the battery's running on fumes.
I'm going to start by running a backup :) and hope it continues to work.
Can anyone suggest what was wrong, and if there was a fix? BTW I
tried this 4 or
5 times always with the same result, except the last time. I was
fearing having
to call Lenovo and get service on Monday.
Thanks!
