    playing with LM3914 IC

    So, I can't sleep so I figured I would go find something to play with. I figured I would look through my drawer of ICs and see what I have in there to make a quick little project. I came across a LM3914, figured I would throw together a little 5v max LED voltmeter, for no good reason! Why for god's sake am I going to sleep to this "simple circuit" not working is beyond me! I guess i can't follow the directions on the datasheet, i must be new to this, lol! At least I'm tired now... mission accomplished! Have a good night guys!

    Lenovo Flex 5 14ITL05 - will only sleep if commanded to through start menu>power icon
    by survivalbloke
    This laptop refuses to sleep unless specifically commanded to sleep through Windows. If I close the lid, the screen does go dark just before the lid is closed, so it appears the hall sensor works. However, it will sit there, drawing 1.xx amps until the battery dies. If I command it to sleep, it drops down to normal sleeping current. If I have it sleeping with lid closed and I disconnect the power adapter, it will wake from sleep, even with the lid closed. I have updated the firmware, but still the fault persists. I've also verified power settings in Windows that the device is to sleep when the...

    Satellite r945-p440 - Hard crash coming out of sleep
    by cappernicus
    Toshiba Satellite r945-p440
    Motherboard: FAM2SY2 A3256A
    I do not have a schematic or board file

    I usually let it go to sleep every time I use it because it is nearly always plugged in, with occasional shutdowns to reset things. Then it started to hard crash every time it tried to come out of sleep. The lights would come on for half a second but before anything shows on the screen they would all shut off and it would boot up as if I had shut it down completely (except that windows knows it didn't), and when it comes back on the fan ramps up to full and stays there perpetually...

    A1286 with 820-3330 sleep wake failure in efi, battery drains fast
    by colos85
    Hi,

    Let me share you a story that could be useful - not just with this model mentioned.

    Symptoms:
    - Battery drains fast, 20-25% a day while sleeping.
    - As soon as it runs flat Mac turns off, like normal.
    - When hooked on charger starts twice (two chimes), then boots normally, but a message appears in the OS "Sleep wake failure in EFI..." The exact message already lost, but many things can cause this as I saw, so wont point out the source of the problem.

    So I changed in pmset the standbydelays to 100, and hibernatemode...

    by nothinghyper
    Hi Everyone,

    After couple of hours playing a game i get blackscreen , i can still hear the sounds and i can move the character but the image doesnt come back until i reset the computer. I have tried running Furmark 1080p settings fullscreen for 7 hours and didnt encounter the same problem. It used to give me an error as driver not responding so i have installed only the driver itself and not the radeon software since than that message doesnt come up anymorre but i still have the same issue. Sometimes it happens after 30 mins gaming time , sometimes after 3 hours , sometimes even after...
