Sleep function disappeared from Windows 8
I have had my Asus convertible tablet for over 2 years and just yesterday I lost both the sleep function and my built in wireless adapter. I have restated several times and scanned for new hardware. To no avail. I even did a system restore to a few days ago. Nothing shows up in device manager for the wireless adapter. And the "show sleep" button is checked under power management.
I only mention the wireless adapter being missing as it happened at the same time. I had used the computer in the morning at a client when the bluetooth locked up. I was bale to finish and as usual put the computer to sleep. When I pulled it out later it had restarted with the sleep function, wireless adapter and bluetooth adapter missing.

No, unfortunately, it is all one board, at least I think so. This a tablet with a detachable keyboard. There are no visible screws on the tablet portion.

I was hoping it wasn't a hardware failure. Hopefully someone else may chime in with an other fix in a day or two. If not I'll award you the points. Thanks!
It seems a bit unrealistic to imagine that both the wireless section and the Bluetooth sections would fail at the same time and not be a hardware failure.

I was hoping for a software problem, but as John stated, it is likely hardware.
Most likely hardware. Good luck with the machine.
It would appear the motherboard has developed a problem. Are the Wireless adapter and Bluetooth ONE card on your machine (they are two cards on my computer). IF one card, try replacing the card.
