So does this explain why the system seems to be different when the sleep mode is set to "performance" instead of "recommended" ?
To recap, when powermode is "recommended" the display goes off, the hard drive stops, the fan stops, the power key flashes, the key board lights go out. When the power mode is se to "performance", the dispay goes off, the hard drive and fan keep going, the power key stay lit, the keyboard lights stay lit.
