Omen 30L not waking from sleep mode

[ColinMagerle]

Is there still no resolution to this issue? I just bought a new 30L Omen and it's very frustrating

Power button inop. I have to unplug it to get it back on. It’s not sleeping, it’s in a coma.

I was on my way out to return it. But I thought I would give them a chance to fix it.

DON'T RETURN IT!!!

I got mine at best buy a few days ago and found this in another HP thread:

Follow the instructions in the top comment after clicking this link.  I read somewhere else that you have to wait 24 hours and then a new "HP Firmware" update was available.  That was accurate and today I installed the firmware update and it wakes up from sleep now!  Good luck and I promise this will work.

I had the same problem with the Omen 40L.  I have it hooked up to an LG 32UN880-B monitor with a USB cable running from the back of Omen to the LG monitor. I have a Corsair keyboard and mouse connected to the back of the monitor using USB.

The problem seemed to be the USB SuperSpeed 10 Gbps port on the Omen. When I switched to the 5Gbps USB port on the back of the Omen, sleep mode worked fine.
