I GOT THIS COMPUTER 14 MONTHS AGO, AND I HAVE HAD MANY
ISSUES WITH IT SINCE DAY ONE. I'VE HAD THE CD-ROM DRIVE
REPLACED TWICE (PROBABLY UNRELATED TO PROBLEM), AND MOST
RECENTLY THE HARD DRIVE WAS REPLACED. I HAVE CONSISTENLY
HAD PROBLEMS COMING OUT OF THE STAND-BY MODE---IT
DOESN'T. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A LITERAL MULTITUDE OF TECHS
AT DELL, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. ANYONE WITH SIMILAR
SITUATION?? ALSO, THIS COMPUTER CONSTANTLY HAS ONLINE
CRASHES (SENT REPORTS TO MS), FREEZES UP UNEXPECTEDLY,
AND IN GENERAL, NEVER WORKED AS IT SHOULD.
THANKS FOR WHATEVER HELP YOU CAN GIVE!

One problem you have is that your caps lock seems to be stuck.

Regarding the Standby problem - I've always considered that feature a waste
of time and I've never had any luck with it. I don't use it - I completely
disable it. If I want to leave the computer and not have it running, I just
shut it down. Seems to me that since your's won't come back from Standby,
this would be a lot faster.
