Question

Wake up laptop from sleep ON BATTERY.

Apr 17, 2018 3:10AM PDT

Hello guys, is there anyway beside open up the lid on laptop to wake it up from sleep (ON BATTERY)?
The problem is when I put my laptop to sleep, and it is still plugged in, I can simply move my mouse or press a button on my usb keyboard to wake it up. But as soon as I plugged out, the usb devices are completely useless, even if I re-plug the charger.
This is super annoying because I set my laptop as stationed-pc and I let it lay upside down (avoid high temperature when gaming, also have a fan for it).
Any tips guys? I already try Hotkeyz but it seems like the problem is when I plugged out the charger, all of my usb devices are useless, hmmm...
