Intermittently, once the laptop went into sleep mode I couldn't get it to awaken. I had to hold the power switch down and then repower it for it to come back on. I called the tech at Eluctronics and after trying a number of things he gave up. What I did on my own was change the power management to "High Performance," all the sleep settings to "never" and the Lid so that it didn't put the computer to sleep. I have thus eliminated the nuisance factor.
I can get away with this because 98% of the time I leave my laptop plugged in, and when I do use it on battery I never come close to depleting it.
I just received the laptop last Thursday, 3-19-15, and suspect the fact that I'm using Windows 7 and had to download a huge number of updates. Doing that caused one other problem. It eliminated the tab allowing me to turn off the touchpad when I was using the mouse. The Eluctronics tech helped me with that by sending me the latest driver. I mention this already-solved-problem to suggest that perhaps some Windows 7 update didn't install properly, and my sleep-mode problem might have a similar cause.
I looked at some notes on similar problems on other laptops but never saw any "solutions" I might try -- other than eliminating the sleep option and substituting hibernation. If i have to revisit this problem for some reason I'll try that possible solution.
