 > This sounds like EC, since that controls the lights.

 I tested Joyride 1529 and every time the machine actually went into
 suspend the LED flashed.  I did however have several times that the
 machine did not go into suspend.  It just sat there long enough for the
 screen turn off to happen.

 According to the setting in timeouts.ini file ohmd should be attempting to
 suspend when it sees that the machine has been idle for 30 seconds.  If
 that is really working correctly (and the machine is really idle) then I
 would think the screen turn off should never happen.  This is supported by
 my tests both with and without external power.

 What puzzles me though is the report that the power light was off.  I was
 not able to reproduce this  If this can be reproduced then please do it on
 a machine with a serial console so you can verify that the machine really
 went into suspend.
