Problem

I had a problem with the laptop lid so I am using it with an external monitor. I was wondering if there is any way to power on the laptop without opening the lid, that is through ports. Laptop: Dell Inspiron 1525

Fix for: Power on laptop without opening lid

Low Risk

From this thread : Put it on suspend rather than off, then wake it up with a piece of semi-flexible "tonge" and insert it between the lids to press a key. Not high tech, but effective and cheap.
