Thanks Mr. Mike.

Nothing in the BIOS about the lid opening and closing. It appears to be up to date, too.

Thanks Mr. Mike. That link you gave me did help. It wasn't waking from sleep either when I opened the lid either but now it is after I followed the steps from the HP support community. Will check the BIOS now and see what that does for me.

TH forum brain trust- HP Spectre X360 Convertible 145-ea000 Windows 10 I just got this laptop brand new about a month ago, replacing an older HP Spectre X360. With this new Spectre I'm having problems getting the computer to boot up when I press the power button and/or open the laptop lid...

Weirdest thing. As I mentioned, the original power supply was putting out 12V when I put a multimeter on it. I looked up the specs on the monitor's original power supply and found that many AC powered LED lights use the same exact output (12V @ 5 amps) with the same tip so I plugged in a LED...

Yikes I wouldn't know how to do that. And even if I found that the driver board was dead, I assume the cost of the driver board would pretty much be the cost of a new monitor?

Thanks very much for your time, Darkbreeze. All very helpful points. I have a GTX 1070 currently, but will probably be upgrading soon as the card is a couple of years old now I think. My office is always well lit. I'm shooting for the big 4K monitor just to have more real estate like you...

Tom's Hardware Brain trust- I've been reading reviews, forums, etc., looking for a 4K 32" monitor. One monitor that keeps popping up that would appear to be decent for both gaming and home office stuff (spreadsheets, Word, websites, etc.) is the BenQ PD3200U. A couple of websites (I think...

Wow man thanks for typing all that out. If we're ever at the bar, beers on me : ) This will be my little weekend project now.

OK, well I have another internal drive with more than enough space to mirror my current M.2 boot drive. I guess I'm still a little confused about the process. I also have an external USB drive (i.e. a USB mechanical drive) with enough space as well. The part I don't understand is that once I...
