Wireless Keyboard / Mouse won't wake up Windows 7 Home Premium

I have a Dell with Windows 7 Home Premium. I run a Logitech wireless keyboard (K350) / wireless mouse combo.

I won't wake the computer up from sleep, even though I have the computer set not to sleep or hibernate.

Whenever I turn the TV to the setting for the computer I just get a black screen.

If I push the power button on the computer, I'll get the "Log On" screen with the little windows emblem and password window on it, but the pointer is still froze, and I cannot enter anything.

If I turn the whole system off and back on, everything works fine.

I can also access this computer through Logmein with either my Droid or another computer and everything works fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

check the setting for the wireless portion to see if it is set to allow windows to shut down the power to the wireless controller

Could just be a blank screen saver

Could just be that you need to toggle the video to the tv, usually function F4

If I push the power button on the computer, I'll get the "Log On" screen with the little windows emblem and password window on it, but the pointer is still froze, and I cannot enter anything.

I am just guessing that it is just not restarting the wireless controller til windows starts.

If I turn the whole system off and back on, everything works fine.

Not messed with wireless mice and keyboards a whole lot, but sure sounds like it is shutting power down to it and not turning it back on. I would check to see if there are power setting for the controller in device mangler and set them to never turn off

Right, I had those changed as well.

Last night, before I headed to bed, I had changed the hard drive to never sleep, and then this morning, when I got up to do payroll, the computer was still working.

I will see what happens once I get home from work today and do some more paperwork.

I have the same problem with XP Pro. I can put the computer to sleep with the wireless key board but it will not wake it up. I have to press the power button to wake it up. This keyboard has the mouse integrated into a joy stick and moving that will not wake it up either. Moving the mouse activates the wireless receiver but will not wake up the computer. Any ideas to make this work?

Not a lot of experience with wireless mice and keyboards, but a google search may have found a solution.

You may have to configure the USB wake-up in your computer's BIOS settings. Enter the BIOS on POST (usually by pressing the DEL or F1 keys) and search the tabs for the USB and/or power settings to enable Wake-up on mouse/keyboard, etc.

      New boat question

      Power output is:  amps x volts = watts   If your charger is pushing 10amp at 12 volt: 12 x 10 = 120 watts.  2 banks = 240 watts.   240 watts / 120v at your outlet = 2 amp.   Efficiency isn't 100% so it's gonna be more than 2 amp on your garage circuit, but maybe like 2.4 amps.     I think.... It's been a while, LOL.  Either way 20amps output on a charger for a 12v battery isn't the same as pulling 20amps off your garage circuit.

      Wanderer, thank you. I did look at the breakers for my garage/outside outlets and they are 20 amp.  I reached out to the company that makes dual pro chargers with the question and this is the reply I received.:     Thank you for reaching out to us here at PCS. The Sportsman series charger, although rated ay 10 amps per bank, draws only 5 amps from AC when all banks are charging. As the Professional series which provides 15 amps per bank, has a maximum AC draw of 7.5 amps with all banks charging.

      That’s an interesting point.  While I understand how Amps work, I can’t say I’m fully versed in the draw of modern on board chargers.   By modern code, outdoor and outbuilding outlets should be 20 Amp.  If your outside or garage outlets are 15 Amp, they’re undersized.  But that is quite possible if the garage was built before that code became enforced.   With heavy use, you may not be able to keep up on daily charging without the 10 Amp per channel charger, however that’s with very aggressive use for consecutive days.  On our June muskie trip we run up to 15 hours a day for up to 7 days on a 24V Ulterra and by mid week we’re starting to see the batteries not reach full charge.  That’s a lot of bank running at nearly 2 mph on windy shores.   We charge at a dock with up to 6 boats per dock plugged in - some with 36 volt systems.  Now I’m not sure if all the outlets are on a dedicated circuit but I’m betting they aren’t.  But they’re all 20A outlets with a lot of draw on them.  At max draw, they’re not keeping up but also not tripping the breakers.   What I’m saying, without a technical review is: you’re probably fine either way.  You probably won’t tax your batteries so much that they can’t recover on a 5 Amp per channel overnight charge and a 10Amp per channel charger probably won’t be too much to plug into your 15A outlet - if it really is a 15A.  If you’re sure, you’re sure, but I would double check if you’re not 100%.
