Solution: will not wake from sleep with the lid closed

I had the same problem. Here is how I resolved it:
 1. Enable the keyboard and/or the mouse to wake up the laptop in Device Manager:
     * Open Device Manager (use the search box)
     * Click on "Keyboards"
     * Right-click on "HID Keyboard Device" (you might have more than one - you'll have to go through all of them)
     * Select "Properties"
     * Click on the "Power Management" tab. In case there is no "Power Management" tab, move to the next keyboard
     * Check the "Allow this device to wake the computer" check-box, if it isn't checked already
     * Press "Ok"

     * Repeat the above steps for the "HID-compliant mouse" under the "Mice and other pointing devices" in Device Manager

     * Close Device Manager

2. Reboot and press the F2 key to enter BIOS

    * Go to the "Main" tab

    * Scroll down to the "Wake on USB while lid closed" setting and change it to "Enabled"

    * Save the settings with F10

3. Reboot, close the lid, put the laptop to sleep and check to make sure that the keyboard and/or the mouse will wake it up.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I don't have either "Wake on USB while lid closed" in the Bios or "HID compliant" options in Device Manager. Any  other ideas?
