T-Balancer and S3 sleep mode?

Post by SZ » Mon Oct 24, 2005 11:57 pm

Hello,

A question for T-Balancer users: does your t-balancer allow you to put the computer into S3 sleep mode?
Mine does not, only S1, but that is not what I want. As soon as I disconnect USB cable from T-Balancer I can put the PC into S3, otherwise it immediatelly resumes. And looks like there is nothing I can configure in the driver properties.

thanks!

I don't know so much about the various S modes, but my system with T-Balancer + USB cable connected + T-Balancer software running can go in to Stand By or Hibernate without any problem. :)

I'm sure you know that T-Balancer does not need USB cable connected to work, unless you want to change any configuration. In my case I need live-info from T-Balancer to feed to LCD display.

Yes, I'm using T-Balancer without USB cable connected but I'd like to use the internal USB connection.
The difference between S1 and S3 standby modes is that T-balancer is switched off when in S3, it's ON in S1.

I'd check the settings for S3 wakeup in BIOS. Also in some boards (ABit at least) there are jumpers which enable/disable the "USB-power-on-S3" -feature, which keeps certain/all USB ports powered in S3 (in case the user wants to wake-up with e.g. USB mouse).

Another option would be to remove the +5V lead from the USB wire. Provided that the USB communication chip is powered from the main power connector of T-Balancer and not from the USB wire.

Please note that I don't have a T-Balancer; just guessing here.

Cheers,

Jan
