Alienware laptop, bluetooth mouse & keyboard, wake issues
I hope I don't get too many of 'The Search Engine is Your Friend". but I've scoured the Internet, didn't have energy to deal with phone support, so here goes: using both a Bluetooth Keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse (though I suspect USB devices wouldn't matter), is there some secret squirrel handshake to awaken sleeping unit other than opening LID and press Alien/power button?
I use the Dell 4K 27" monitor and it truly a pain (more an annoyance) having to open the lid every time.
Thanks in advance,
John/Florida

In Power Profile, set "Lid Action" to "do nothing"
In Device Manager, for Bluetooth Radio ... turn off Power Saving.
Pair them, get them working and they should keep working.

Yeah this is also something I've found. I was hoping the button on the AGA cable might power it on, but nope. All I have found to do is open the lid.

Sleep can be troublesome with any laptop ... especially a "docked one" ... like maybe AGA qualifies.
I suggest you do what I do with most of my computers and laptops (on AC Power ... which it can be if using AGA).
For AC-Power in Power Profile, disable Sleep and Hibernation. When you want to use computer, turn it on. When finished using it, shut it down and turn it off. [:)]

Fortunately the AGA takes care of that for you - sleep and hibernate are disabled when it's tethered :-D
