Hi all,

I recently purchased the 64GB version of this laptop and have been mostly happy with it.

After getting it all setup the way I want, and adding games and few apps etc. I started to use it a lot more but noticed the issue.

Some context:

I installed G-Helper and have installed all the latest drivers. I set a max battery charge limit of 90% but left everything else alone. I've also installed the most recent BIOS but I noticed this issue prior to the BIOS update as well. I've uninstalled McAfee crap software and the like.

Problem:

When I use the laptop for a bit while unplugged (10-20 minutes), and then simply close the keyboard to the display the device seemingly goes to sleep.

If I open the laptop 20 minutes later nothing happens. It won't resume from sleep. I just see a black screen.

I was able to get it working again by plugging the AC adapter and holding the power button down for 10+ seconds (do this a few times) and it eventually fires up.

The issue is this doesn't happen every time it sleeps. It's random but has happened several times since I started using this laptop (purchased late last month).

I did some searches and came across others having similar issues but it wasn't for the GZ302 model, but older versions.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? and if so how did you resolve it?

I'm still within my return window (bought via Amazon) but I'd rather not send it back if at all possible since I really like it (when it works!).

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Reports on the W5050SQ5 emitter are coming in.

My Brass T6 arrived today and besides having more rings than Saturn itself, it's quite the impressive emitter!

Some quick notes:

- Pinky/Rosy hue. Not really Orange/Amber at higher brightness. Not sure if I like the tint yet, but I definitely prefer over Green tint.

- SFT40 3000K looks yellow when directly compared. (Both in the T6 and S7 hosts).

- Noticeably brighter then the T6 SFT40 3000K, and with a tighter hot spot. It'll out throw this combo easily.

- Slightly bigger hotspot than the nm1 but not as concentrated.

- T8 /SFT25R 5000K outperforms it but not by as much as expected. Would probably be a lot closer if both were compared at 5K.

- First two brightness ​settings are closer to what you would expect 3000K to look like. Level 3 and 4 the emitter tint shifts to a more pinky/rosy hue.

Overall I'm fairly impressed.

While I don't have a like for like to compare directly, the W5050 outperforms the SFT40 and appears to match what the SFT25R can do.

I'm not impressed with the amount of rings which limits indoor use (unless some film can be applied to smooth it out). Not sure if this is a result of the emitter, or the Brass host, but my other T6's and T8 have very minimal ringing in comparison.

I took some beans but for whatever reason the tint/color doesn't match what I see. It's the opposite really which is confusing. Like my SFT40 looks pinky and the W5050 looks yellow but in reality it's the exact opposite.

If I can figure out how to capture the tint I'll share some beans. I can say mine looks different then the OP's in the link I shared. More pinky and more rings.

Just wanted to give some feedback as there isn't a lot of info for this emitter.
