The BIOS- Power menu has a section titled "Lid Switch". So what you are describing concerning opening the lid is normal.[IMAGE] But the other issue is in question. * The external 240W ac power adapter is connected to the m15 R6* The m15 R6 is powered on, the lid is fully open, you are on the Windows desktop* Click the left bottom Windows icon (Start)* Click Power* Click Shut down* The m15 R6 now turns off* Close the lid fully Now, you are saying that if you simply press the middle of the fully closed lid, the m15 R6 turns on?
I have recently bought (October 10, 2021) a brand new Alienware 15" laptop. Initially I noticed the lid seemed a bit flimsy and could be pushed in. I'd decided I could live with that but I thought I'd mention it here in case it was common and it would make me feel better after parting with so much money on something that seemed flimsy. The issue relating to the title of this post, though, has me more concerned. For example, yesterday I wanted to clear some dust from the laptop so I blew over it and it switched on. If I were to push the lid without opening it, it will turn on. And when I do want to turn it on, usually it switches off at least once so I have to do it again. I have updated the BIOS as another post suggested but I'm not sure what to do now. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ash
m15 R6, keeps turning itself on and doesn't turn on properly initially
