    Is it possible to Boot with num LK on?
    Does anyone know how? I couldn't find the option in BIOS 201,203 or 205.

    Another question too :)

    I have my system set to sleep when I close the lid. Is there any way to get it to wake on open, without having to press the power button?

    Thanks for reading...

    I'm not sure about numlock if there isn't an option in the BIOS. I think win7 saves the setting when you shut down so if you leave numlock on it may come back after you log in. I could be wrong, I don't run windows. :p There used to be a setting in the control panel for it but now I think it's automatic.

    There is no way to have it resume when you open the lid. This is controlled by the EC/BIOS and it is not able to be changed. You have to hit a key or click the mouse, or hit the power button (some models vary, the power button always works).

    Unfortunately Windows does not remember NumLK state when you restart and there seems to be no option under control panel. I can't find the option in the BIOS, didn't know if maybe it was hidden or able to be created/set up.
    Thanks for the response though :)
