Inspiron 17R SE 7720 wake from its slumber when the lid is closed through the usb keyboard/mouse

So I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 which has all of the latest drivers with BIOS A11 (Win 7 Ultimate x 64)...  I have all the settings properly configured for sleep power (no hibernation), however no matter what I try, I can't get the laptop to wake up when the lid is closed through USB keyboard.

I use a combo of MK560 Wave from Logitech (unifying receiver) - keyboard and mouse have the wake-up option enabled in the settings of their material.  I also wake up from USB enabled in the BIOS.

What is interesting is that if I put the computer to sleep with the lid open, I can do/wake it from Logitech devices.  With the lid closed, I can only do sleep - the only way to wake up, he is to open the cover and press the power button.

Anyone know a solution to this?

Cliffs Notes:

Cover open: CAN sleep/wake from USB keyboard/mouse

Cover closed: can sleep ONLY - don't wake up if I open the Start button / cover & press

It seems that a new A13 BIOS was released on 18 March, all it says in the section '' correction '' is to "maintain the release." Download it now and see if it fixed more on the question of the USB.

    Pete,

    Depending on where you live, you will have the rights of consumers.  I live in Australia and we have pretty good consumer protection.

    I asked Dell - repair, replace it with one that works, or pay back me.

    They went away for a few weeks, and when I "called home" a few times, they acknowledged that they could not solve the problem and offered me a full refund. The laptop was picked up yesterday and I expect the refund within about five days. The guy on my "case" has been very professional!

    I guess that you informed Dell FORMALLY of the problem via a support ticket?

    I did that and followed by chat and phone calls.

    Whist, the ability to wake up via USB is not explicitly described in any of their literature, the bios has available and W8.1 has the facility.  they built it all - EXCEPT that they forgot the lid...

    see you soon

  • Inspiron 17R SE 7720 - Audio from headphones and speakers

    When I plug my headphones, sound still comes from my speakers.

    The popup asking what device I plugged is no - longer everytime I plug my speakers - but it does to the microphone socket.

    It is difficult to say 100% for you that it is a hardware failure, because it is not a diagnostic test. If you Win10 you could go back to the operating system in which decision worked and see if it still works here.

    If you have the original operating system came with the laptop, you can perform a recovery of the system (original return the laptop to the factory setting). This will be the fix or confirm that there is a hardware failure.

    To the best of my knowledge your model of laptop doesn't have a replaceable audio port circuit. If I'm wrong on this subject you will need to replace the motherboard to replace the Jack unless you can perform work on the motherboard. You could qualify for something being folded.

    A simple solution is to get a USB input audio cheap and use it for headset and your internal audio system when you want that the speakers to play.

  • nVidia Geforce GT 650 M NOT DETECTED on Inspiron 17R SE 7720 after update BIOS A11

    Hello world

    A week ago I did some updates on my Inspiron 17R SE 7720 including Bios Update to the version of the A11. Unfortunately, after this update I realized that the nVidia Geforce GT 650 M graphics card had disappeared from my system.

    I read other posts and people who have experienced this problem suggested the re-installation of the bios would solve the problem, but in my case, it didn't.

    Also, I installed the new version BIOS A12 and A13 versions but non of these have solved this problem.

    Also reinstalled windows do not either fix as suggested by others in other posts.

    I also ran the diagnostics on the computer from the bios and card does not appear there either, like the nVidia Geforce GT 650 M graphics card has not been installed on the system.

    Finally I run a version of Ubuntu on my Inspiron 17R SE 7720 and run a system check and or the card is detected, just the Intel HD Graphics 4000 is detected under windows or linux.

    Please someone Dell help us solve this problem, because it certainly is a BIOS PROBLEM.

    If you're among the unlucky ones like me this saw has disappeared from the map of nVidia Geforce GT 650 M graphics card in your system, please share your experience with me.

    Thanks for your replies.

    A disk fails at some point -, or Windows will become corrupt.  The question is not about whether you will need media recovery, but when - and having on hand means that you can fix it immediately instead of waiting days for Dell to ship the media.

  • Ubuntu linux driver installation for Nvidia 950 M on Dell Inspiron 17R SE 7720

    Hello

    I bought a Dell Inspiron 17R SE 7720 Ubuntu version because I like Ubuntu linux more than Windows.

    I can't find the linux drivers that will allow my Nvidia GT 950 M graphics so, basically, the card useless and no power management.
    There is absolutely nothing for Ubuntu Linux on your drivers page.

    I have updated to the latest BIOS A03.

    The laptop's Ubuntu Logo sticker on it next to the Intel i7 so I thought it is totally compatible.

    Please advise,

    Thank you

    Optimus system and at the present time, it is not properly supported under Linux, there is work in progress for him, but for a workaround, see Bumblebee project: wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

    Description a little longer: you have two graphics - integrated (Intel) and discreet (Nvidia). Optimus systems are designed with the intention to use the GPU integrated tasks that requires no graphic heavy treatment (most of the day-to-day activities) and the use of the discrete GPU for applications requiring more powerful GPU. Integrated card is less eager for power and voltage GPU discreet when not in service allows cooler use.

    Normally you use integrated card and there is no way to use the card nvidia directly if the BIOS does not switch to it. Help Optimus allows to use the Nvidia card for rendering and power down to save power when not in use. It has not been official for Optimus of Nvidia Linux support. Bumblebee is a community created project attempting to address the issue, but it is really only a workaround until the solution has been created. FIRST is such a solution, but at present it is still experimental and is not in any version of Ubuntu, more it is officially supported only in the open drivers source (new), Nvidia has not yet validated supporting in their binary driver.

    I agree that Dell support for bids Linux pages are sorely lacking, in fact I was not able to locate a page describing their Linux pre-installs. Ubuntu certification pages are not really informative on Dell changes and upgrade policy.

  • Portege Z30 - Has is not awaken from its slumber

    One of our employees is using a Toshiba Portege Z30 - A connected to a DisplayLink Targus docking station. By default, our SOE configures power settings to do nothing when the lid closes. We have configured the laptop of this person to go to sleep when the lid closes if the notebook is on battery, and keep the default setting to do nothing if the lid closes when the supply network. About 6 weeks, the laptop has stopped waking up from his sleep.

    I don't know if the implementation of standby or try to wake up from its sleep occurred when it is connected to the sector or on battery only. What are some troubleshooting steps that we can take to help diagnose the problem? BTW, the key entry nothing on this forum site, using IE10/Windows7.

    The laptop does not wake up from sleep, open the lid or also by pressing the power button?

    What BIOS status?
    Is it already knows?

  • T430s is not awaken from its slumber with mouse and USB keyboard Logitech wireless

    Hello

    My T430s is hooked up with a monitor and a keyboard/mouse (Logitech LX710) wireless.

    I put the laptop itself under my desk since I did not take it with me that often.

    Now, when I hit the sleep button on my keyboard, the computer goes to sleep, as expected.

    -There is no way (it seems) that I am able to wake up.

    I am running Windows 7 (x 64).

    I tried different USB ports (to make sure I use a motor) for Logitech wireless USB adapter.

    In the BIOS Setup, I checked to see if the USB ports can wake the computer from sleep mode.

    In the devices tab Manager keyboard (and mouse), power management, I enabled "allow this device to wake the computer". I did the same thing for the "Human Interface devices".

    "Update driver software" for the keyboard and the mouse says I have the latest drivers to install.

    In power controls of Lenovo, under Advanced settings, USB settings, I tried the USB selective suspend allowed many people with reduced mobility. They are disabled for the moment. Under global settings of power, I enabled 'always on USB"and"even when the computer is turned off.

    Then... I'm slowly running out of options. So for now, I can leave the computer at any time (it's what I do, with an occasional reboot - that seems not so respectful), or I can crawl under my desk in the morning, take the laptop on the little stool that I put there, make attention to diet, USB and cables monitor and external hard drives, open the laptop , press the power button, close it again and carefully put it back. What is bulky.

    So... what someone has ideas on how to fix this and leave my wireless keyboard to wake the portable computer?

    (Oh.. and of course buy a wired keyboard is an option, but not one I prefer...)

    I only have the mouse, but I have a T430s and a Microsoft wireless mouse to wake it. I always use the blue (USB3) port on the left side for all functions related to the startup, because I learned that the always active port (on the back) is started later in the process of turning the power on. Use the right-click button to wake it up, which is the function that was originally defined as one to this end, even though I believe that this movement of the mouse as she wakes up on a wired mouse.

  • How can I uninstall windows 8 and install windows 7 on an Inspiron 17R SE 7720

    I bought my Inspiron 17R SE with Windows 8 installed in December 2012. I tried my best to become familiar with Windows 8, but most of the time I do love. I tried to use the classic interface so it looked like Windows 7 but I still don't like it.  It seems to me that Windows 8 be not really suitable for the use of the laptop.

    I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install my own copy of Windows 7 Pro, but I do not know if it will install on a laptop at the origin of installation for Windows 8.  I asked Technical Support on this issue, but I was told that Dell would not support this so they couldn't help me.

    Can anyone here help me with detailed instructions on how to achieve what I want... I read that the needs of settings in the Bios to be changed before I start but do not know what to do.

  • Inspiron 17R SE (7720) upgrade screen resolution?

    Hello
    I have a 'special edition of the Inspiron 17R"(serial number: DCC2DT1) and I used it for about 2 and a half years.
    Not once in that time has stopped working, I'm very happy with it and I would update some components and I hope to continue to use it for a few years.

    I am looking to change/update the screen 1600 x 900 on a Full HD 1920 x 1080 display.
    My main question here is, if this is possible and will not be a problem, and if I could use first put the other components of the laptop?

    I would also like to upgrade the HDD for an SSD and a day later the Intel i7 Intel i5 processor. Is this what I need to know before I Exchange/upgrade components?

    Thanks for reading.

    To upgrade the display panel, you must also replace the harness of the display - one that comes with the lower panel of the resolution will not work with the FHD display.

    SSD upgrade will not be a problem

    Updates are possible with this model (it is the last of Intel Mobile processors, which is sold in the form of half-bridge, removable) - you will need an Ivy Bridge CPU.  Also check your power adapter - 90 w does not have an i7.  You need a minimum of 130 W power adapter to run an i7 CPU.

  • Laptop Dell Inspiron 17R-SE-7720

    Please could someone explain to me on the 2 GB Nvidia GeForce GT 650 M, it says its 90w and the other says it is 130w, just a little confused, until I have order a.

    See you soon

    I guess that's the power adapter, 90w for core i5 cpu and 130w for the core i7. = D

  • Inspiron 17R SE 7720 - funny laptop computer (not dead) pixel LCD

    Hey people, this laptop is less than 4 months old and yesterday began to show strange pixels on the screen (see screenshot of the website of Dell)

    This pixelation presents itself not only on the desktop and in the games, but also in its display of the windows loading screen and also enforcement Dell Pre-boot system assessment. Know me this isn't a driver problem.  (However I've updated the Nvidia drivers).

    These aren't dead pixels as they change or move according to what's displayed.

    If I connect the laptop to an external display via HDMI, there is no pixelation, if I take a screen (screen printing) and look at this screen shot on another PC it is no pixellation there.

    Hi MrKG,

    The problem is with the LCD of the computer and it needs to be replaced. Please private message me the serial number of the computer.

  • Computer won't wake from sleep after installing the update July 2013

    Original title: a reason any after July 2013 windows update mode "sleep" freeze my computer

    Before I wake up problems due to incompatibility with windows 7 and SATA Hard drives (WD). This problem has been fixed with Windows Update August 2012.  Just recently after July 2013 Windows Update. After that my computer is in mode "sleep" for a certain time it freezes and will not restart until I press and hold the power button until the computer turns off. Then pressing the windows button star as a "Recovery Windows" message will appear.

    I blame the July 2013 Windows Update. But I can't be sure what it causing the problem... I cleaned the Reg via CC & norton util 16 more run antiwalware Malwarebytes and run a Norton virus check. the lock in question remains.

    Any ideas?

    Problem solved... I had added a USB 3.0 Hub to my system. Unfortunately I do not share this Yauqb, thinking that a USB problem would not cause the fault that the USB (connected devices to the) worked well, my lack of this info likely extended the solution time.

    Somehow that it finally dawned on me that look at the manufacturers site hub, of course nestled in the catacombs of the FAQ is a text of presentation all by unchecking the checkbox in the section of wake-up USB Device Manager.

    When you look in Device Manager, USB devices are not the easiest to deal with because there are many multiple subdivisions more with no name and only cryptic blurbs attached when you look in the properties. Lucky a USB 3.0 arrives as 'High Speed' which reduces my 3-point action fields, uncheck all sleep problems fixed.
