Hello,

I have connected an LG 27UQ850V-W monitor via USB-C to my
Lenovo Yoga 9 14IAP7 (IdeaPad) - Type 82LU Laptop.

I would now like to be able to boot the laptop without having to open the lid of my laptop and continue working on the second screen.
However, this is currently impossible.
I use a keyboard and mouse, both with bluetooth.
Does anyone know of a solution that can help my way forward ?

Regards

Hey there,

Not much you can do my friend. There's no button on a BT keeb or mouse that can boot your system from cold. You have to physically press a button to start the process.

You can, however, set your laptop to sleep/hibernate when powering off. Then you need only press a key on the keyboard to wake it, and away you go.
