Laptop keeps falling asleep :(

[Elliot Cod]

Hi,

I've currently got my laptop as a desktop-like envrionment, so I use my 2nd monitor for the main display.

The only issue I'm having is when turning the laptop on from sleep (via usb) it turns immediately off because the lid is closed.

I have already changed the lid to "Do nothing" in control panel and disabled intergrated graphics to prevent it from displaying an output on the laptops display.

 

How can I make it wake even if the laptop lid is closed?

 

Thanks

Found a fix.

 

Going into my BIOS settings, to quote:

"Wake laptop from USB while lid closed"
