Dell Laptop no longer sleeps when lid is closed
This is similar to the issue in this thread.
Laptop doesn't sleep when lid is closed
I have a Dell laptop that always went to sleep reliably when I closed the lid. Now it does not. I am able to get the laptop to sleep with the Start --> Sleep option but not with the lid closing and not with the power button.
On the power options interface screen, in the section that says "Power Buttons and Lid" there is no way to set a lid action - there is no choice or link available. It's like someone completely removed the computer's knowledge that it has a lid - maybe it somehow got tricked into thinking it was a desktop?
Thanks in advance for your help - I appreciate it!
