Power button wont make t510 sleep anymore?

[robodelfy]

Hi guys

I used to be able to press the power button in the middle of my T510, (above the keys and below the screen) and it would put my laptop to sleep and bring it out of sleep too.

For some reason it now doesnt do this anymore.  Very occasionally it will work b8t most of the time I have to to make it sleep by pressing Fn+F4 which is a little annoying.

Can anyone suggest how I can make this work again or where you change the settings of these kinds of things]

Thanks

Alex

Hello mate,

You can change that with power manager. Open it in advanced mode and under your current power plan, you can see Event. Expand that for the option Power button you have 4 choices : Do nothing, sleep, shut down or hibernate. Choose the one you want.

You can do that under windows as well. Go to Control panel>Hardware and sound>Power options. On the left you can see Choose what the power button do. Go there and change the setting.
