    Turn on PC with USB keyboard?

    Hi,

    I used to have a ps2 keyboard with my IP35 and I could turn on my PC by just pressing any key on my ps2 keyboard, I recently replaced it with a brand new logitec USB wireless keyboard / mouse combo. Now I can't turn on my PC (not resume) with my new USB keyboard, I'm able to resume from S3. But not when its off. Apparently the USB still has power when the PC is off since my other USB devices' power lights are on. but the PC wouldn't turn on with keypress.

    Any help would be appreciated!!

    IF the keyboard is wireless then no, cannot "turn on"the pc by key press.
    IF the keyboard is USB then again NO.
