    You need to have quickset installed, go to support.dell.com enter your service tag and download quickset under applications and it will work ;)

    It seems on mine that FN + Esc works as the sleep button, but Fn+F1 doesn't work even though it has the little moon icon. I have quickset installed. I think historically FN+Esc is what usually controlls suspend/sleep on notebooks so it's kinda odd.

    That's interesting. I actually prefer fn-esc, so if that works (I'll try it, if I remember, next time I want to use Standby) I'd like that, since the esc is leftmost, so it's a split-second easier to find when holding fn down.

    fn-F1 causes my comp to hibernate instead of sleep.
    Is there any way to change this setting?
