I have a Thinkpad X230T with Debian testing installed. As the title says, it only boots in "odd numbers".



What I mean by this is that I turn it on, I work with it normally, and then I either shut it down or hibernate it. The next time it won't boot. I will press the power button (or open the lid) and both the power and wireless lights will turn on, but nothing else will happen. The screen won't turn on , no disk activity, nothing (I've checked with running an ssh server to see if it was just a display issue, but it definitely isn't). I turn it off and on, and now everything works normally again... until the next time :)



It happens practically every time. I can't seem to reproduce it if I do it a bunch of times in a short period of time though, it has to be turned off for a while.



I upgraded the BIOS but nothing changed.



I appreciate any clues you may have. Thanks for reading!
