3rd Gen Mackbook Air Won't Wake from Sleep

I have the same exact problem (mid-2011 13" MacBook Air). Every single time the battery has drained completely (I've gone through this about 6 times now) it will not wake up once charged. Like you I see the backlit screen working but nothing else responds.

I've reset the SMC, reset the PRAM, and reinstalled Lion. Nothing has helped. I think it may be a hardware issue?

Same here. Do you have FileFault turned on ?

For those of you having this issue: Do you happen to run screen or multiple terminal sessions? The last time my battery drained and the macbook air went to sleep, it actually woke up correctly after being charged. The only difference that I know of was that I was not running screen with a lot of terminal sessions.

I'm pretty sure that all of the other times the problem occurred, I was running screen and/or multiple terminal sessions.

I bring this up because there is another bug with OS X 10.7 in which a kernel panic occurs 100% of the time during a shutdown/restart and screen and/or multiple terminals are logged in. The kernel panic has something to do with ttys.

Same problem here.

Macbook Air

13-inch, Mid 2011

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B2118)

Model Identifier: MacBookAir4,2

Boot ROM Version: MBA41.0077.B08

SMC Version (system): 1.73f63

FileVault is ON.

Does not wake up from "deep sleep", i.e. after the battery was drained while the machine was turned on or sleeping.

When trying to wake it up from that state then the backlight will turn on and *stay on even when the lid is closed*.

However the screen remains black (checked with flash-light) and there is no other reaction from the machine whatsoever (no keyboard backlight, no sound when hitting volume-keys, no reaction to brightness-keys).

The only way to recover from that state is to long-press the power button (hard shutdown) - then short-press it to boot up again.

I can reproduce this 100% of the time; turn it on, let the battery drain => MBA won't wake up during/after charge.

I have the same problem!!!! it is really disconcerting. But actually I found that I have to wait very patiently for like half a day fully charging the machine then without rebooting I was able to turn on the computer with the screens I had before the battery drainage. But it is still sooooo annoying and do not understand why this is happening.
