Check BIOS version.
Problem: Dell Latitude C640 Power Options standby and hibernate tabs and dropdowns
did not appear. ACPI was enabled. BIOS version was a06.
Solution: Tried upgrading to a09 but still nothing. Then I download C600_A10 BIOS
drivers (I used R71684.exe). Tabs appear and dropdowns
I'm guessing here - It's possible apparently same motherboard might need upgrade
(or downgrade), or even just the act of redoing the BIOS (same version or different)
might jog something loose and get the problem fixed.
