JP1 Remotes

[vickyg2003]

I have a hibernation issue. Its not really an issue except that I am sharing a laptop with a non-techie. If I forget to unplug my JP1 gear (the widget and a Serial JP1.x cable with a USB adapter and remote), before the laptop hibernates the laptop will not restart. I can leave it sit on the screen for hours, but it never starts up windows. As long as I unplug my equipment before hibernation everything works fine, so as I said its not really an "issue" but it does cause a little marital trouble.

Has anyone else had a hibernation issue with our JP1 gadgets?

Any known solutions?

Vicky, I used hibernation only once in my life. It's a painfully slow process, therefore can't comment for sure.
But I do use Standby, a different beast altogether, and have no issues with the gadgets.

That said, check Device manager, USB Root Hub Properties and Power Management. There is a setting "Allow computer to turn off device to save power". UNCHECK it if is checked. Hope this helps, otherwise you may have to spend the rest of your life at google university.

I don't have a laptop, nor use Windows much at present (moved to ubuntu Linux) but I found the following utility useful when I had some USB issues with other devices when using Windows:

Link to USBDeview.

Basically it lists USB ports and devices and lets you turn off and on USB ports. Maybe turn off the JP1 device prior to hibernating or see if you can write a script to turn it off and then send the Hibernate command.

Thanks, I'll look into the utility. The problem here is that I'm not the only one using the laptop, and when we're done we close it and it automatically goes into hibernation. So basically I've got to sit guard over the computer as long as I've got my gadgets plugged in or the DH shuts the computer and it won't restart.

I was thinking of a script along the lines of:
