Dell Latitude Won't Wake-up After Closing the Lid <worked around>
« on: March 10, 2011, 03:42:05 PM »
How do I get my Dell Latitude D600 to wake up after it goes to sleep when  I close the lid?   Pressing the power button doesn't work.  Is there a magic key combination?

This won't be a good workaround if you're on battery, but I don't use this laptop on battery, just around the house.  Under Administration>Power Management I just changed 'close lid' behaviour from 'suspend' to 'blank screen'

Now when I open the lid, the display reanimates.
