My GF has averatec 3150H notebook hooked up to a logitech elite keyboard and a 15 inch lcd monitor. Because of space constraints on her desk, she would like to always have the notebook's screen closed. However, she cannot get to the power button since its covered by the screen. Is there any way to boot up a pc without pushing the power button? Perhaps by assigning a key on the keyboard or something? Obviously, shutting down the notebook is easy though window's but I cannot figure out how to boot it up. The external keyboard has a sleep button on it which can put the pc into stand-by or hibernate. I just can't get the pc to "wake up". Any ideas? thanks :confused:
 
usually the keyboard support is on the bios, some can have it wake on lan, modem, or at a specific time. but if it's not supported by the bios i don't think you can do it.
 
I have my PC to turn on when i hit the space bar button when it's completely shut down. I believe the option was in the BIOS. Just gotta look.
 
My averatec lappy had a problem not coming out of hibernation too. I can't remember exaclty how I fixed it. You might want to check for updated drives. Mine has to push the power button once and that changes the blue light from blinking to on. The press the power button for 2 sec to get it to go come out of hibernation.
