![]() ![]() Luckily for me, none of the laptops were actually damaged, but even after searching in the Lenovo support site and on their forums, I couldn’t really find one solution that would work for me. What was causing this? In this article, I’ll show you how I figured out what was causing my laptop to wake up by itself and some troubleshooting tips on how to fix it. ![]() When I got the laptop out of the backpack it would be so hot, too hot to touch, and I can only imagine that not only it could melt internal components, but possibly also being in danger of bursting into flames. Obviously this is not just a wasted battery issue but an actual security hazard: the laptop heating up in the enclosed confinements of my backpack, all vents working at full speed and not being able to get enough fresh air to cool it down. But every once in a while I would get to work, to a customer, or back home, and I would see that all this time the laptop was in fact turned on. The laptop would take a few seconds to do whatever it had to do in order to prepare for sleep mode, then the screen would shut down and the “moon” LED icon would turn on (or flash, depending on the laptop’s model), and I would put it into my backpack. I used to configure them to sleep when pressing the right combination of keys (usually FN + F4), or when closing the lids. My problems began when I started carrying these laptops to work everyday in my backpack. The second and third were running Windows 8. First there was my previous work’s Lenovo T510, then a new T420S, and finally a Lenovo T430S. The story is one that bugged me for quite a long time, through not one but three different models of laptops from Lenovo.
