"overhybernation"????????????

Multiple support reps at Toshiba have told me that Toshiba does not
recommend using the hibernate mode as it may damage the system board. They
referred to it as "overhibernation" and they recommend only using the full
shut down. Sounds screwy to me. Opinions please.

Bob

Sounds screwy to me.

When you want to use your PC - Power it up.
When you are finished using your PC - Power it down.

No problem.

Even power up can damage your motherboard,
it is recommended not to do it. :-)

Sounds like they are talking about leaving it hibernated for up t
72+hours just sitting there, mostly for legal reasons though so, in th
actual event something does happen were not responsible. Mostly to sto
people from trying to scam them, fine print here, fine print there. I
may even be that there mobo cannot handle idling as in it doesn'
hibernate properly

HA HA HA HA - Powering up your computer can damage your motherboard? Use
power strip or UPS. HA HA HA HA. Better yet, sell your computer and get an
Etch-A-Sketch.

Just FYI.

You have not obviosly got the joke, just FYI.

But, seriously, every shutting down / powering up
is a stress to any electrical system,
so it can one day to damage any such system.

An incandescent light bulb is a classic example.

Noticing device break at powering up
is much more probable than during running.

Very screwy. Hibernation involves writing the contents of RAM, video
RAM, and whatever else is needed to a disk file and shutting down.

One thing I've noticed on my Toshiba laptop: there's a yellow LED that
slowly flashes when the machine is hibernated. I guess that means that
something deep in the BIOS knows that the machine was hibernated and
flashes this light. Seems to use extremely little energy, the battery
charge diminishes just about not at all.

What I have said does not imply I have my systems always on.
In fact, I use Vista hybrid S3/S4 ACPI mode all the time.

Switching equipments ON/OFF DOES make stress to them
AND
Switching equipments ON/OFF DOES make sense.

All depends on level and circumstances.
