Packard Bell sw51-b-012

[Michael Thompson]

I have just finished installing Ubuntu on my laptop, and everything
works as intended, quite refreshing to see. However, I do have a
question.

Suspend does not work, it goes to sleep, but it does not wake up. there
is disk activity when the unit wakes up, but the display remains black.
This also happens with hibernate. The unit also refuses to boot after
this happens when the power is cut the system locks on the initial bios
screen until the power is cut and restarted again.

has any one got any ideas on how to fix this?

I am using a Packard Bell sw51-b-012 easy note.
