Hello,
I am having a problem with my Think pad and maybe someone can help me please. I write long documents that i need to at times sit back and review. While i am not typing and just reading, my Think pad goes into standby mode and shuts off, it does this like clockwork every 5 min. its very frustrating. You also can't undo standby by touching a key or touching the mouse, in order to undo standby, i have to shut the lid and open it again. i have been doing this for months, shut the lid and open it shut, open, shut, open, it will drive you crazy and it is very frustrating. I have been all around and through the control panel and put all the settings on 'never ' but this doesnt help, it still shuts off every 5 min when i am not typing. how can i fix this? I have windows 2000 and my thinkpad is # 9547 . Is there a password in the mother board? what can i do? thank you. signed very frustrated.
