I have set up Wake On LAN and I am able to wake my laptop when it's sleeping, but only when the laptop's lid is up, not when it's down/closed.
There will be cases where my laptop will be sleeping whilst the lid is down/closed and I want to awaken it in this state.
I know that I can control what happens when I close the lid, but I want to be able to change the relevant settings (if there are any) to make the laptop wake up whilst the lid is down/closed.
It seems possible (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/474516/wake-on-lan-a-laptop-when-the-lid-is-closed) but my laptop is running Windows 10.
I have not been able to find an answer on similar threads:
Windows Wake-on-LAN from Sleep on Laptop
Waking an acer laptop from sleep with the lid closed
Power on laptop without opening lid
How do I turn on laptop (Asus R1F) with lid closed?
Short of ripping my laptop apart to disable the mechanism that prevents waking/power when the lid is down, I'm at a loss...
Laptop is Acer EX2540-55GG Model N16C1 if that helps.
thank you
