  1. How to disable the mouse, when the lid is closed?


    I set my laptop to stay on, when I close the lid. However with a closed lid, I am still able to use the mouse. I can even draw something in Paint although I don't see it, which is odd.I would like to disable some input devices, when the lid is closed and no external monitor is on. E.g. I would disable the external mouse and keyboard, but not the bluetooth headset which has Prev/Next/Play/Pause buttons on it, therefore it is an input/output device.How to disable a device, when all displays are off?

    :)

  2. Bluetooth keyboard and mouse disconnects when closing lid after update

    My Lenovo Idealpad laptop no longer allows the bluetooth mouse and keyboard to work when the lid is closed.

    the current power option settings are listed as “do nothing” when lid is closed. For both power and battery mode.

    this was working fine prior to an update yeaterday.

    Not sure what else to try

    • Click on Power Options. On the left, click on "Choose what closing the lid does". Click on the drop down menu for "When I close the lid" and choose "Sleep" or "Hibernate.

    • At the command prompt, type powercfg -restoredefaultschemes, and then press

    How to disable the mouse, when the lid is closed?

    LID close screen still on

    Well, it was worth checking.

    How long have you had this Asus ROG? Has it ever turned off the screen when the lid is closed?

    The last post in this thread suggests it may be a hardware problem, the section starting 'Here's an interesting story about the GL502VS in general' describes a sequence of replacements from Asus, one of which behaved this way. Oddly, the OP actually wanted this behaviour.
