[QUOTE="Keukasmallie, post: 1740447, member: 223420"] I'm having similar problems with my early 2011 MBP. Often, when I open the cover, the screen remains black for a period of time. I'm also getting an error message that says there is another device on my network having the same IP address. I've tinkered a bit and found that I can reduce the length of the black screen time by decreasing the length of time for screen sleep in the Energy Saver screen of Preferences. Several other odd occurrences led me to restore Sierra and re-install doc's from Time Machine drive yesterday. That really seems to have had no effect. I'm going to try to run the AHT now. [/QUOTE]
