Laptop won't go into sleep mode when I close it and won't turn on after I open the lid
I have an M1530 and had to reformat it and reinstall Vista because of some problems I was having. For whatever reason, now the laptop won't go into sleep mode and turn on when I open the lid. The power light doesn't flash when I close it. How do I fix this?

If you haven't installed Vista SP1 do so.
If you have SP1 and you can not put the system to sleep you can use the following tool:

just have to run and it asks you if you want to use later, i choose no for a 1 time configuration, it will pop up and say "sleep state" "Unspecified" change to S3, then close the tool and test sleep. This tool has worked everytime I have used, except in cases when you put the system to sleep and it reboots.
The original dell power settings can be downloaded here:
