Computer does not start up automatically upon opening the lid
Hello,
I own an Alienware m17x R3 laptop. Recently, aside from the occasional BSOD, it had no problems whatsoever.
Generally when I am away from my laptop, I close the lid and nothing else. In the past, when I had opened the lid up the PC automatically started up screen and all. Now, however, the screen stays black despite the lights being on (Touchpad, power button, etc.) In order to start it up, I have to press the power button to shut it off, then turn it back on entirely.
Any suggestions on what may be causing this or ways to work around it? I checked my power options and currently, it is still set to be in "Sleep" mode once I close the lid.
