Laptop turning itself on???

wigwam12 — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:10:49 GMT

On 2 occasions now i have discovered that my vaio has seemingly turned itself on:
first time I noticed was coming back from holiday - machine was fully charged when I left but was 100% drained when I got home. When I hooked up to power I got the "windows did not shut down properly last time" message.

Then a couple of days ago I charged it again and just turned it on to find that it popped out of hibernation.
The machine has been kept in the same laptop bag it has always been kept in.

Anyone got any ideas to account for this odd behaviour?

TVTV is known to do this, as it updates it's EPG at 6am.
