Sorry, I forgot to make a correction to my [Additional Information] which I re-tested. After my cron backup job is finished it will check if the lid is closed. If it is closed then it will run pm-suspend. If I then open the lid, the laptop resumes without a normal working display. So pm-suspend suspended the laptop without a display and the next time I open the lid the laptop resumes without a display.
