I have tried to upgrade the microcode.  I rebooted into Windoze and ran
the .exe.  I see no difference in the value of microcode in
/proc/cpuinfo, so I don't know that it took, but I did run the upgrade
command, and sat there while it displayed its progress indicator.

I tried installing the 3.18 kernel but it failed, as I reported, and
nobody has got back to me to suggest what I did wrong in the
installation.

I have tried using the proprietary ATI driver.  If I manually suspend
the system and restart it does recover correctly with the proprietary
driver.  However with the proprietary driver if I close the lid and then
reopen it the system does not resume at all.  That is the only result is
that I hear a "clunk" after the lid is opened, so obviously the BIOS
recognized that the lid had opened, but there is no disk activity, and
the keyboard is not enabled so the only recover is holding down the
power button.  With the open source driver the system reliably recovers
on Ubuntu 14.10 kernel 3.16 (which it did not do on 14.4 with kernel
3.13)  However the backlight is not turned on so I cannot do anything.
I have been having that problem with the Xorg driver for several years
now and when I ask their development group how to give the driver a kick
to turn on the backlight their response is "the driver should do that
for you."  So I ask them again and every time the response is "the
driver should do that for you".  Why they cannot just add a command to
turn the gd light on I do not understand.  I guess they are purists.

I have even tried reformatting the partition and reinstalling 4.10 from
scratch.

I really want to help you out by testing the problem but you have to
tell me what to do, because I have tried to do everything you asked when
I opened the problem and I have not heard from anyone since.  I am
really tired of having to leave my laptop open!

I cannot see any option for adding tags in the Launchpad user interface.

Title:
  resume hang ubuntu 14.10 kernel 3.16

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to 14.10 every time I open the laptop lid the system
  hangs after enabling the keyboard but before turning on the display.
  That is the backlight on the LED screen is not turned on.  This issue
  has occurred occasionally since 12.4, but is now completely
  consistent.
