Ok here goes. I'm attempting to use my old laptop as a media player for my tv.
acer aspire 5553g
I plan on having it closed at all times and I want to be able to turn it back on from sleep with my USB Rii keyboard/tackpad. I've set all the power setting to do nothing when lid is closed. I can boot it back up if the lid is open but not when it is closed.
I've read other posts and they suggested ennabling a setting in bios for USB wake. This is not a feature on my bios (latest version) I was almost considering taking my laptop apart and seeing if I could disconnect the piece that tells the laptop its closed (if thats even possible) and then just having the screen off. does anyonebody have any possible ways that I might go about this without tearing my laptop apart?
Thanks!
