Latitude E5430 with Windows 7 doesn't go to sleep
My new Latitude E5430 with Windows 7 doesn't go to sleep.
Monitor becomes black, but HDD indicator light shows some periodic activity and a laptop doesn't cool down.
It immediately shows a Login screen when I touch a touchpad.

Actually laptop was going to sleep OK but then it was awakening for unknown reason. It looks like this E5430 was shipped with
incorrect settings.
I am not sure what step exactly fixed this issue, but you can find description of most of them in
http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/windows-7-will-not-sleep/. Only verification of scheduled task using Task Scheduler GUI is not
described there.
I skipped "Method 1 – Update Drivers" (I did not believe that it was required for a brand new laptop) and tried everything else.
Eventually Sleep mode started working OK.
