S205 Hangs when closing the lid! (Windows XP) [ Edited ]

[Strider_H]

I bought a lenovo s205 AMD Fusion E-450 a few days ago, installed windows XP on it and the latest drivers...

Now when i close the lid the system hangs or freezes, so the only way to fix it is turning off the Netbook...

I can`t believe how you guys don`t test these thing...please help us with this...a lot of netbook users need Windows XP

hi stride_h

possible power management issue, please, take a look at the thread below first:

I`m not really sure about the power management, looks like the Video Drivers are having issues.

I uninstalled the video catalyst  drivers...now my video screen looks  with a low resolution, but i can close the screen lid without problems!, then installed again the video drivers and i`m having the same issue

which drivers are you using? ? ( from lenovo support or local drive )

[Strider_H]

The drivers were downloaded from the lenovo support site, the last version of them

PD: I`m using the AMD VISION E450 Dual Core , last version of the S205

Question:

this is a official support forum from lenovo or not?

Where i can find a fix to my computer?

[Strider_H]

Ok, that´s all folks, i am going to return the S205 to the shop.

The reason?, i have a semi-functional unit, no support from the technical service and all i had is a waste of time

Next time i will buy a better computer and never again a lenovo.

this is a peer-to-peer support community.

I have the same situation. My S205 E Series came with Windows 7 starter, i don`t like that OS so i tried to run my old Windows XP.

After the video drivers were installed, now my laptop freezes when i try to close the screen (or lid)

I tried with newer drivers from AMD, but the situation is still the same.

Please escalate this situation to the lenovo guys, because the windows XP drivers are corrupted

can you check if the issue persists after installing the graphic card drivers?
