Sleep - Wake facing problems , N5110 Win7 help please!

This paper goes over basic troubleshooting steps to help resolve issues with Sleep and may be of help.

In many cases a computer will not attempt to hand off control to the operating system. If you power the computer on and you see a Dell logo screen with a bar at the bottom, and that bar fills up completely and disappears, then your computer has successfully completed POST.

1. 1.       Press the power button on the computer to attempt to resume from suspend.
2. 2.       If the computer does not turn on at all, remove all power from the system (AC power and battery) and wait for 10 seconds.
3. 3.       Plug the power cord and/or battery back in and press the power button again.
   If the computer still does not turn on, refer to the link below for further troubleshooting.
   
   

In some cases suspend/hibernate issues can be caused by incorrect or outdated BIOS settings or video drivers. Be sure to regularly update your drivers to take full advantage of your hardware and software.
Try updating each of these drivers individually and then retest the system to see if the problem continues.

If you are still experiencing suspend/hibernate issues in Windows, and the troubleshooting steps above have not resolved the problem, the system may be experiencing an underlying lockup problem. To troubleshoot Windows lockups, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article:

Please go over the document and see if it helps you out, it also gives links to “No Post” and “Lock Up” troubleshooters which may help as well. Please report back with what you find out and if the problem continues

whats can i do :(

The Intel HD3000 driver is the correct video driver for your system.  Updating the driver is a good place to start but unfortunately “wont wake from sleep” problems like you are describing can be caused by any number or combination of programs, utilities or drivers, and can be very difficult to find the cause.

One thing to consider is when exactly did you first notice the problem with the system not resuming from sleep?  Was it from the start when you first got the notebook, or something that started happening later?  Do you remember any specific programs, utilities, updates or drivers that may have been installed just prior to the problem, if so try disabling or uninstalling the software and see if that helps?

You have done a lot of troubleshooting so far, and I suggest start troubleshooting the notebook as if it was having problems locking up.  This is part of the document that I mentioned earlier and for specifics try here.

 If you continue to have problems you are probably looking at having to reinstall Windows. You will want to fully back up your personal data before attempting to do so. You can find directions on how to reimage the system here.

Terry i think is easier reinstall windows and make a backup than trying to identify the problem 2 month and still cant find it. 

Thanks a lot for your help, i appreciate!

Unfortunately it can be at times easier and quicker, just to reinstall Windows. Just be careful after reimaging the system.  Install only the chipset and video driver after the Windows install and test to see if the system will resume from sleep.  Create a restore point, with system restore.  If there are no problems continue with the remainder of the drivers and test again.  Once you have solid build create a full backup if you have the means, at least create another restore point.

At this point the system should be fully operational, and you will be ready to start installing your programs. Please only install one program at a time and test after each installation.  Create a restore point if there are no problems and install your next program.  The idea here is that you don't want to reinstall everything just to find out that you still have the problem.  Assuming that there are no hardware defects, you may well be able to find the specific program or utility that was causing the problem.
