Lenovo ThinkPad Edge USB port is turning off after sleep

[VARIJ]

I have recently bought Lenovo ThinkPad Edge and I have found that after the laptop is going in to the sleep mode after I close the lid the 2 USB ports gets turn off and any device that I plug in will not work, I have to reboot the machine to get them work, is there anyone who has an idea about the same and can help me out in resolving this issue.

I am not very sure but then I have searched out for the same and I have found some mentioning that it is a feature and it is not a problem, I mean that from the 3 USB ports only one of it is an "always on" port and which can be used for charging the other usb devices where as the others stays odd during the sleep mode.

I have found that this has been fixed with the latest bios, if you want then you can try out the same:
