    I want a keyboard or a touchpad or a usb mouse to wake up my laptop from sleep. I have made sure it's checked in the device manager. Yet there is absolutely no response when keyboard or mouse or touchpad is hit. Why?

    I don't have this problem on my VAIO.

    :confused:

    Did you mess with your sleep settings? Also check BIOS options.

    Nope, didn't touch anything in the sleep settings.

    BTW, what should I look for in BIOS?
