Inspiron 5558/Win 7 won't wake from keyboard.

It only wakes up with the power button.

Any suggestions on how wake it from the keyboard (like my XP did)?

Thanks,bobA

Hey RAAONE2015,  

I am having the same issue as you with my new Dell laptop.  It seems ridiculous to not be able to wake computer from sleep with the keyboard.  I too have had several laptops all with the ability to wake from sleep via keyboard or mouse.  

Did you ever find a way to make your dell wake from sleep via keyboard or mouse?

Another annoyance with my new dell is that there is no keyboard shortcut for turning off the screen.  Again most laptop have this feature.  

I have the Dell 3147 2 in 1 by the way.

Cheers, hope to hear that you have figured out our problem.

Hi.
 
In the BIOS, there is a selection for "Wake on USB." I enabled that and the computer wakes from the built-in keyboard or my remote USB keyboard.
 
Good luck.

How do you get into, edit and save the change in the BIOS?
