is there anyway to turn on the laptop with it closed? or do you have to open the laptop every time then close it?

If you want your laptop to come on at the same time everyday YES there is a way to do that without hitting the power button. No one seems to mention this. Go to Energy Saver in Sys Prefs then into Schedule. Do nothing but set a time to WAKE. Completely shut off the laptop (not sleep nor spin down just plain OFF). Plug in power cord and of course make sure power cord is plugged into an AC source.At the desired time laptop will fully boot!Now I wish there was a remote that could turn it off without the power button.

You have to open it to turn it on. But if you just put your laptop to sleep, you can wake it up (by moving your mouse or hitting a key on the keyboard) without opening it. With this set-up, I rarely every turn off my laptop.

By pressing the button, it opens up. To close you need push the drive to close. Hope this answers your Question.ThanksSrinivas

First I'm not sure--never encountered the issue. My generic answer[a/k/a guess] is that you need to lift the lid and press the power button. To have the lid closed and power up or operate may be a function of how you set the windows settings on your laptop when you do close the lid (it may be set to shut down, to sleep or hibernate depending on the setting options). Perhaps if set to sleep when lid closed it is 'on enough' to accept a charge, whereas if it were completely shut down it may not accept a charge.

be sure you do not power off before closing the cover. the device will go into sleep mode and is awakened by opening the cover.

I have had trouble. My laptop does not stay on unless it is plugged up. This has been happening since I first purchased it.

Power Options -&gt; System Settings -&gt; "Choose what closing the lid does" -&gt; Assuming you want to change this for a plugged in scenario, change "When I close the lid:" to 'Do Nothing".

Hi Alan, you have to press the Fn key at the same time with the F9 key.When you use the laptop with the AC power, the backlit keyboard turns on automatically but when you use it with the battery,the backlit is off as the first choice. Regards,Victor

Let me understand your question. You want to turn the device off? Just hold down for 3-5 sec the power button.

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.

You close your laptop and it won't move. If you are carrying it open then make sure you carry the up right

Good question! I never leave mine on when finished so I have always had to turn mine on when opening back up.>

Try to take out the battery and turn on the laptop without the battery, when the computer is on turn off and put the battery again.

Hope this answers your question; If you turn it off by holding the power button down until the display goes off, then it will do what I call cold boot, several seconds with Dragon logo etc. If you just quickly press and release, it will start immediately the next time you turn it on. When you say reboot often, do you mean spontaneously? If so I've never had that problem.

A bit additional info, when you see it is less then 10% Batt left, stick in the power adapter ASAP, it could shut off by any min...just FYI, I got 2 of this laptop, all the same...

If it is window 7 premium, no, I can't tell if the laptop is turned off. I am not good in Laptop O learned by myself but I know only window 8 usually has touch screen hope it helps

There is an option to set the machine to shut off after a certain amount of time. You must manually activate it every time you turn the device on. It's like the sleep function on your TV.
