[QUOTE="stztech, post: 1536602, member: 310935"] [b]Clamshell Mode[/b] Malch, Have you tried connecting your Macbook to power and a keyboard/mouse combo when closing the lid? By default, the Macbook can function when closed when it detects it has power, a keyboard (keyboard/mouse), and an external display. The keyboard and/or mouse (?, not sure if its one, the other, or both) is/are necessary to wake the computer when the lid is closed. I've personally never tried to wake the computer when the macbook only has the keyboard/mouse and power attached. It may be worth a shot [/QUOTE]
