• Satellite 2450: How do I start the laptop with the lid closed (LCD).

  I have connected the switch of power with cables and stretched it out and it works fine.

  My question is how can I start the computer with the lid closed? Is there a switch that allows the computer to know when the lid is closed or not? Can I remove this? where is this switch?

  This option can be disabled threw the bios of the computer and how?

  Any help apreciated

  Well, you should be able to boot up your laptop in this way, but how to market? The power button on my laptop is under the cover.

  And Yes, there is a kind of switch, which leave the phone know that the door is closed, but it's only important in Windows, it does not close or go on stand-by.

  To avoid this, just set power options to do nothing on a closed lid.

• A degradation of the WiFi Signal with laptop lid closed

  I have a HP Presario DV6 running Windows 7 64-bit.

  It has an Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter using the 8.0.0.172 driver Version dated 09/23/2009

  I noticed that if I run the laptop with the lid closed there is a degradation in WiFi signal.  More specifically, with the lid open, I can see the signal from my router with - 77dBm, but with the lid closed this fall to-87dBm. (No other changes to the environment)

  I checked all the power settings to keep the NIC power on with the lid closed.

  This deterioration is simply a feature of hardware design and antenna site is there anything I can do about this other than get external USB network card?

  Hello:

  I recommend that you only install the latest driver. Who can help a bit.

  But the main reason why your signal degrades, it's because the antennas are under the screen. When the screen is opened, they stick to the top. When closed, they are ineffective, because the ends are oriented horizontally and lower (toward you) instead of vertically.

  Latest version of the driver:

• XPS 13 - Wake from sleep using USB works, but not when lid closed?

  I mainly use my XPS 13 as a desktop replacement - I have the lid closed; monitor and a keyboard, a mouse connected (both wireless).

  I finally managed to get to wake up from its sleep by moving the mouse by activating 'allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode' in the device (Win 7 64 bit) Manager, but it does nothing when the lid is closed, which is 99% of the time because I am using a monitor. I have to open the lid and use the power button.

  Does anyone have an idea on how to get this working, or not at all?

  It works fine on my other laptop Dell I bought at the same time (Inspiron 15). One is connected to a TV as a "Media Server", if the lid is also closed all the time, but he wakes up from his sleep when I move the mouse USB wireless.

  OK, it's now solved!

  The A08 BIOS update allows this, BUT the strange thing is that sometimes the option ' USB wake sleep ' is not available after a BIOS flash.

  This time, it was and now I can wake up the laptop from sleep, even with the mouse Wireless USB via a hub!

  Yay!

• 230 X: the display on two monitors with lid closed?

  My current setup:

  • ThinkPad x 230
  • Docking station series 3 ban
  • EVGA UV Plus + 39 vga box to allow setting up dual monitor

  I have the following problem, I don't know if they are related:

  First question:

  • When I close the lid on my laptop, it stops. I expect it would display Desktop on my two monitors.

  Second question:

  If I'm away from my computer, my screen become white.

  • I tried pressing the keys on my keyboard to wake up my system [does not]
  • I tried to open the lid: computer laptop screen is blank
  • So I have to shut down my computer, open the cover of the screen, and then close the lid and they press the button on my docking station to display Desktop to my two monitors?

  Do you know what causes this problem?

  Moderator edit: matched subject to content.

  1. disable stop option for "lid closed" settings within the app Lenovo Power Manager (Group of event parameters).
  2 could you be more clear. Please? Your laptop is going to sleep several minutes later (5? 15? same?) we let him? And you can not wake him normally?

• It is possible to start/powered by Satellite C if lid closed?

  I have a HDMI monitor and wireless keyboard configuration so the laptop lid is closed for most.

  I said windows 8 to the 'status quo' when the lid is closed on AC or on battery, but if I need to reboot the laptop for Windows updates, it activates again.

  If the cover is open, then it is not a problem.

  Is it possible to configure the laptop to boot/power with the lid closed?

  Thank you

  What cell phone do you have exactly?

  > so it is possible to configure the laptop to boot/power with the lid closed?

  No, if the device is turned off, you must open the cover and press the power button to power the unit in place.

• How to set up an external monitor to display cell with lid closed?

  Hello

  I want to configure my new two external monitors to function as an extended desktop MPB lid closed, but am not clear how. What I see as I type this now is the screen MBP as usual, the external monitor to the right has the image of the desktop from my laptop but nothing else, and your screen to the left with the Yosemite stock to the image of the Sun and nothing else. They are connected by a Targus docking station, I guess that properly since both are alive and well.

  What I would do with lid closed is the screen to the left of the screen MBP and see right monitor as an extension of the left. I tried to close the laptop to see it would automatically migrate to the left monitor, but it does nothing.

  Your help is appreciated in advance.

  In system/display Preferences, you can set to mirror or extend.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202351 if this does not work, you might have a problem with your connection.

• Qosmio G20 - 108 awakening with lid closed

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G20-108 with BIOS 1.2. I've set a scheduled task in Windows to run at night and wake up the computer to do. This only happens when the cover is open, if it is not closed, the task is not executed. Does anyone know if the reactivation of the BIOS will work if the lid is closed? Update the BIOS to 1.4 make windows work power the machine on the lid closed?

  On an unrelated note, where can you get information about what is in the various versions of BIOS? I'm not used to slapping just the latest BIOS on a machine if I have the problem, I want to know what is in the update, what are the features it has and what suits it contains! An hour to search the net and support of Toshiba pages and I cannot find a thing, except for the file to 1.4 real day.

  See you soon,.

  Looks like everything is clear now

• Qosmio G50 overheats while working with lid closed?

  If I work with the lid closed (i.e. turn on with the remote control) so that I just use two external monitors, the G50 will overheat or like other portable dockable, it's a very happy job like that?

  Does anyone know?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Why the Qosmio overheating?
  I want to say I put t see a link between overeating and closed or open lid

  The cooling fans are placed at the bottom of the unit and the air clear on the portable side so it s is not serious if the lid has been closed or not

  The laptop should not overheat

  Good bye

• ES1 - 512 hibernate if it is open, but not with the lid closed. LED will blink red and blue?

  I want a laptop, when closed, to go to sleep, then transition to Hibernate.

  When open, transition work. Race walk, sleep, Hibernate.

  When closed, transition fails. Running, sleep (slow orange blinking), and then rapid blue/red flashing LED.
  During flicker battery consumption is large and the battery goes dead quickly.

  I have tried many power configuration settings.

  Cover-> nothing or sleep - same results.

  Cover-> hibernate - works, but is NOT what I want.

  Button to Hibernate, but not what I want.

  I want to do what it should - sleep and hibernation...

  What does glitter blue/red LED mean?

  OK, I found a workaround solution - with a caveat.

  The xHCI driver is apparently in conflict with something that causes chaos when the laptop tries to transition from sleep to Hibernate with the lid closed.

  This is definitely a bug that should be fixed! Acer needs to work with Microsoft to find the problem and fix it.

  If you go into the BIOS settings (reboot and press F2) and disable xHCI.

  The USB ports will return to PCI mode. All USB ports are working, even if I think they are USB 2.0, not 3.0

  Now the power level can be set to sleep when the lid is closed and it will cause a transition to Hibernate when appropriate!

• HP Elitebook 8560w: screen using my 8560w with the lid closed and external

  Hello

  I connected my 8560w to an external monitor via an advanced docking station.  My monitor allows me to switch between two sources.

  I intend my set-up for my future office and virtually all that my activity will be on the 8560w and the monitor.

  Can I run the 8560w for a long time with its lid closed without risk?  I was in Control Panel/power/choice what closing the lid does and all sleep on battery and nothing power are.

  Is there a heat problem? Or other side effects?

  Thanks, Russ

  It should not be unwanted problems to run for a while with the lid closed.

• How to lock your laptop when the lid is closed.

  Hi, I would like to know how to lock the computer when I close my laptop something similar to press windows + L. I don't want to put my laptop in prolonged standby/sleep mode and do not want to set a screen saver due to watching movies and other. Surely, there is a parameter that can be tweaked to make this happen if it is not a visible option?

  Because you don't want your laptop to sleep/hibernate just by closing the lid, the only way to lock your computer click Start and close this computer or windows logo press L and then close the lid of your laptop

  Hope this info helps
