    Hi! Every once in a while when I lift the screen to wake the computer up from sleep, it turns on but the screen remains blank. To fix it, I have to close it, let it go back to sleep, then open it again. Not serious, but very annoying! Is this known or an easy fix? Thanks for the help!

    Same here. Also, a usb and bluetooth mouse wakes the computer even though i have "allow this device to wake the computer" unchecked in Device Manager.

    Yeah, my wireless usb mouse wakes the computer too when closed. I figured there might be an option in the BIOS to not wake on usb, but been too lazy to check, heh. The screen issue is more annoying, though, since I can always flip the switch on my mouse to turn it off when I'm not using it. Any ideas?

    Do you have PowerXpress graphics card switching enabled?

    Any more ideas? Or should I just chalk it up to a driver issue and wait for a new release??
