    Anyone know how to make the G50vt wake up from sleep when the lid is opened?

    I've never been able to do this on this laptop, and I think it might be somewhat handy. I tried looking in the device manager under ACPI lid for an "Allow this device to wake the computer up" but did not see anything.

    Thanks

    I've had the same problem with my G50VT on Win7 here.. shifted to forceware 191.0 to fix it.
    However, now I can't change the brightness of my screen :-| stays stuck at 100% bright even when i'm on battery power

    I know how to turn my computer on and off, make it go to hibernate, sleep, and even play a game. I don't know how to make the lid turn it on from sleep.

    trivial matter. And how lazy are you? you just need to press a button. Pretty soon we'll turn computers on with our brainwaves...
