My Asus laptop turns on when it wants to...and someone told me it was on sleep mode...he change that setting and it turned on all the times I wanted yesterday...but today i has a light that indicates it has power...but it does not turn on...it takes a few hours for it to come back to life...I don´t know much about computers...need any help possible.Thanks

No worries.

If sleep is an issue, then for now I'd disable it all together. Press windows key + C to open the charms bar, go to settings, then go to control panel, type in the search power options and click on the power options icon in the search. Once there click the "change plan settings" on the power plan you have selected (I assume it's the balanced plan), and set sleep mode to Never.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your PC has issues sleeping but when it isn't, it works perfectly?

Can you please explain more? I'm having a hard time understanding you.

Also, what are your laptop specs?
