    So today i finished watching movie on my 360 so i grabbed the Media Remote to turn off the console. but then i noticed that my M15X thats right next to my 360 had turn on after it was on Hibernate, so i guessed right away that it was the remote that turned it on. so i put it in hibernate twice and pressed the power button on the remote and it turned on both times which means the 360 media remote turns on The M15X on Hibernate ONLY. i have tried on Sleep mode put it doesnt turn it on, if you have a 360 and have got the media remote give it a try but i advise you that it will ONLY turn on the laptop it wont turn it off or will it do anything else then turn it on :confused: lol

    It's not the remote affecting it so to speak, but the fact that it picks up an RF signal and that causes it to resume. My Dad's laptop is an HP and that wakes up when you press the sleep button on a media center remote, but doesn't otherwise respond to it. Very annoying!

    Yeah I've got two pavilions and a media center remote designed to work with an ADD ON USB infrared adapter, but because my laptops both have infrared sensors on them, when it picks up the signal from my media center remote, it will turn on, but nothing else.

    My m15x responds fully to every button I press on my HP media center remote control (comes with a TV tuner) but only turns ON when using the express card remote.
