    Hi there,

    Is it possible to get the Dell XPS M1530 laptop to wake from USB or the internal DELL 355 Bluetooth module?

    If so, how do you do it?

    Thanks.

    What do you mean by "to wake from"?

    Well you have "Wake On Lan".....works similarly.....

    ...when the computer is in Sleep state it keeps the power going to the bluetooth module or usb port, when the usb port or bluetooth port receives a signal (key is pressed on a usb keyboard or phone tries to connect to pc via bluetooth), then it brings the computer out of sleep state.

    Oh, I didn't know about that "Wake on Lan". No idea, sorry.

    Good luck

    Hi there,

    Well I found out than you can do "Wake on USB" - there is a setting in the registry to enable it.

    ...but saw nothing about "Wake on Bluetooth" in the bios.

    The item is greyed out in Control Panel -> Device Manager too:

    Any ideas?
