Elder, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e540 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.17). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540 suspend/resume failure

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After an update of the Thinkpad Edge E540 BIOS to version v2.16 (J9ET96WW ) the suspend to RAM failes:
   -  general ThinkPad LED (the i's dot) behaved like normal: slowly blinking, which normally means "I'm suspended to RAM."
   - resume was impossible: wakeup failed through mouse clicks, various keyboard keys and combinations and also the power key, only a hard reset (5s or so holding down the power key) could bring it back to life
