    Hello,

    On my old desktop computer I could assign in the BIOS a certain combination of keys on the keyboard to turn the power on (Such as CTR+F1). Can I do the same with ASUS G73JW if I use external keyboard? Thank you!

    I don't think there is a way to do that. If there is it's not a documented AMIBIOS feature (that I know of at least). I think that power-on hotkey feature is for Award BIOS.

    I've noticed that my G73JH-A2 powers up from sleep when I press any key from the keyboard. Is that normal?
