Hi,

i am running win7
My notebook sometimes turn on by itself after i have hibernated.
Not all the time, just sometime occassionally.

How can i disable this?
when i was travelling, it turn on itself and when i arrive my destination, the battery is drained.
I am sure the button can't be pressed because the LCD is covering it when it is closed.
 
Why hibernate? Check your power settings and hibernation settings - you may have a condition where it is similar to WAKE ON LAN via a wireless signal.

When you travel turn the thing off!

What's wrong with hibernation? It provides more rapid system recovery, particularly in the case of my XP notebook while providing an actual "off state" when I put it away.
 
Hibernation when traveling is not really a good idea. This is especially true with air travel when you go through security etc. RApid system recovery? What's that? My laptop powers up and is ready to go, faster than my desktop. Prolonged hibernation will waste battery power.

True hibernation should not come on spuriously unless something is set wrong in Power Management.


A hibernating system also presents a security risk when travelling. Why make it easy for a thief to enjoy a rapid recovery sans password or fingerprint?

If the laptop will not be used within an hour or so - turn it off.

I think we have different definitions of what hibernation is. On my XP machine, hibernation saves the current state to the hard drive and shuts off completely (drains no battery). Password is still required to recover the system. A password is still required with stand-by on my XP system (which provides faster recovery than hibernation, but drains the battery).
 
That is what hibernation is supposed to be. But, apparently that is not happening in OP's case. True hibernation is stored on the hard drive using hiberfil.sys, and it can be a large file. My XP VM system in Win7 uses it, and it auto hibernates when that VM is closed.

Somehow, OP's system is using a form of standby as "hibernation." Maybe it is Standby and he thinks it is hibernation?
