Hello everyone!

 

After buying an external monitor to use with my Acer Aspire v5-573G I've started encountering several issues that are really annoying. I want to use my laptop with the lid closed and use the monitor instead of the standard Acer's screen.

 

So, here are my issues:

 

  1. Turning the laptop on with the lid closed - I can't seem to turn on the laptop on when the lid is closed. What I need to do is open the lid, press the power button and then close it again. What I want is to be able to start the laptop with the lid closed (just like an ordinary PC).
  2. Waking the laptop using external keyboard and mouse with the lid closed - I am not able to wake the laptop using my external keyboard and mouse. What I need to do is to open the lid, press any key and then close it again. I've tried every option from Device Manager to Power Options but none of it worked (tried BIOS settings as well but couldn't find anything relevant there).

Any help would be highly appreciated as these issues are just so annoying.

 

Best regards,

 

Zdravko
