Sleeps, Cannot awaken. USB Mouse???
I have a problematic Toshiba P55W-b5224, the HDD for which failed, I started over with Clean Install Win 10 on a new SSD. Issues thinned out mostly except one very annoying issue: The user is mouse-dependent and uses a GE branded USB wireless mouse with a small USB transceiver. Periodically, when the laptop's display goes dark, the lights [disk, power, etc] will show it 'on' but there is no way to wake the system. Must shutdown, then restart- and when that is done, the sys will boot and run looking fairly normal, except that the USB device will not work until we remove the transceiver and pick a different USB port.
I am suspicious that the mouse and its transceiver are at fault but how to prove? with it removed, I cannot force the system into a sleep/wake problem. It sleeps and wakes as it should, so far as I can tell. I have read a bunch of threads [and fought through a few issues on other laptops] re: the reverse condition: the USB device prevents the system from sleeping as it is supposed to. Not the case here.
Suggestions other than the obvious one of "stop using that mouse!"
thx
