midugre,   Unfortunately,  I have found no other way of waking the system other than turning the keyboard over.

midugre,   Press the enter button on the keyboard to see if that will wake it. Why do you have the keyboard facing down?

Were you able to fix the issue? I have the same issue with my Inspiron 7415.

Hi there, I have the same issue with my Inspiron 7415. I cannot wake it up when I have it in table mode with the keyboard folded. I touch the screen but it does not wake up. I have to turn it around and press the power bottom or apply some pressure to the touchpad to wake it up. Very inconvenient issue.

That's really not much of a solution. What might be a nice workaround would be to have a separate power state for tablet mode where you could prevent display from going off.

Clicking a button on an attached mouse seems better than nothing
