    Screen stays black after opening lid from sleep mode


    Simply put, every time I close my laptop lid enters sleep mode and reopen it, the screen stays black. I try waking it up by using my mouse and keyboard but nothing works. I have to do a force shutoff in order to get the screen working again. All of the windows updates are up-to-date, as well as the drivers from Lenovo but I have no clue what the issue is. Right now, I just have sleep mode turned off in the power management settings but it'd be nice to use sleep mode again. I have aLenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 if that helps.

    :)

  2. Screen stays black after opening lid

    Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

    • Are you able to boot the device to desktop with black screen from sleep mode?
    • From when are you facing this issue?
    • Were you able to see any error code/ error message with this issue?

    Hi, Thank You forgetting back to me so quickly.

    To answer your questions:

    1. I am NOT able to get from the black screen after I have opened the lid.

    2. I'm assuming that when the lid is closed this automatically puts the computer to sleep. I can hear noise in the background, but can not get the black screen to go away without shutting down and rebooting.

    3. I did see an error code when this happened, but was unable to read it because I was logging off.

    When I restarted the computer, my desktop would not function. IE when I tried clicking on my task bar, nothing would happen. I powered off the computer, turned it on and it came up.

    But again, after I leave the computer (with lid down) for more than 15 minutes, the same problem is happening.

    I read through some previous suggestions on here, someone suggested to disable sleep/hibernate mode. I did so, and now things seem to be working OK. My concern is, #1 the problem isn't truly fixed, and #2 Will keeping the computer from going into sleep
    or hibernate mode cause issues?

    Screen stays black after opening lid/sleep

    My Dell Inspiron is set to sleep when the lid is closed. When I open the lid, the keys light up, and the power button lights up, but the screen stays black and I have to hold the power button to shut the computer down and turn it back on. The computer
    is up to date with all Dell and Microsoft updates. This was never an issue until about a month ago. I have tried to find more information on how to fix this problem, but can't seem to find anything that works.
