It doesn't happen every time but I would say every other time. After I close my laptop i. e. it turns into sleep mode and I open it again it is just black screen like it is not working but power button's LED is on and I can on/off keyboard LEDs with f5 button (but caps lock's and f6's LEDs don't work). But sometimes after I open it turns on immediately after I press any key and works fine or in very rare cases when it is not turning on after opening it turns on after I press the power button.
