I came across an idea that , is there a way to turn on laptop without pressing on power button ? I have found out few options through the internet. docking station, connect main ac etc.
Beside all these, is there any other option ? like maybe remotely or some key in keyboard or other?
Thanks

Therefore, when i want to power on my laptop, i need to open up my laptop lid and push the power button and close the lid again. Objective is that, i want to power on my laptop without opening the lid, ( to press the power button). This post has been edited by Kelvin1_1: Jul 27 2020, 03:03 PM
