Dell XPS 8700: USB Power while PC is off???
I'm having a huge issue here. I'm currently using a Razer Naga Epic (wireless mouse) with my Dell XPS 8700. The mouse has a dedicated docking station for charging. The problem is when I'm turning the PC off. When the PC is off, the USB won't provide power :emotion-6:
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance! :emotion-1:

Hi VYPER512,
I have an easy solution for you,
Plug the mouse in the wall charger at night with a usb wall charger like this one:
My friend when the computer is off, all of the computer is "OFF" not just part off it or it would be called Deprivation and not sleep.

Well... I forgot to mention that the USB dock serves as a Bluetooth dongle as well, so a wall charger is not going to do this much easier :emotion-7:
I've been looking through the BIOS, and I can't find anything that will allow the USB to power while the PC is off :emotion-6:

It appears that only one of the top panel USB ports has Power Share on the XPS 8700.
Specs don't say which one, so you may have to try connecting your dock to both to find the right one.

Left one is. Check in Bios to make sure it is enabled.
