Page 2 - Laptop turns itself on

I didn't purchase the Bluetooth add-on and I've double checked that I don't have it.

Hmmm...just happened again. After approximately 45 minutes of being turned off, my laptop turned itself on. Perhaps there is some type of static building causing a short circuit or something? I'm going to try calling Dell as well.

Just noticed that closing the lid does not cause the screen to turn off? Perhaps there is a problem with the sensor, which could be causing the laptop to misunderstand the shutdown mode occassionally?

I think I have solved this problem, so for anyone else having a similar problem, here's my solution.

In Device Manager, check the Advanced tab under the Properties of each network adapter and make sure that the Wake On option there is disabled.

Hi there!
I think I found the solution on another forum. Just forwarding the answer... :



I have phoned Dell Customer Support, which used that thing which allows them to take control of your computer and they showed me how to solve the issues. If you have Windows 7 follow these steps:



1. Left Click on the power icon at the bottom right of your start bar

2. Click on "More Power Options" (or just search for "power options" on your start bar)

3. Click on "Change plan settings" on either Balanced or Power Saver (depending on which one you use)

4. Click on "Change advanced power settings"

5. Once your Power options panel opens, scroll down and select "Sleep"

6. Click on "Allow Wake Timers" and then click on "Enable" and scroll down to select it as "Disable"

7. and now you're done!

I will update this post again if it turns out that this is not the solution and my laptop continues to switch itself on without me telling it to.
