Hi,
------------------------- "Always On USB [Disabled]
Help
The USB ports can charge external devices during low power states (standby, hibernate, or power-off). If the system runs on battery mode, this only works in standby state.
[Disabled] USB ports are disabled during low power states.
This above is the key. "USB ports are disable during low power states". That way, it is not disabled at all until low power state is reached.
I fully agree. So then one only needs to clarify what a "low power state" is. But doesn't the BIOS help actually tell me(?): it is defined in the 1st sentence of the help text. Citing this once more: "...low power states (standby, hibernate, or power-off)..." For me this reads, that "standby" *is* a "low power state", meaning that if I close the lid, i.e. when entering standby, the USB-ports should be disabled ... which they are not. And just before kicking off a semantic discussion, here's to the meaning of the various terms "standby", "sleep mode", "suspend" w.r.t. "closing the lid": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_mode They're all the same. Finally, rather than discussing semantics I'd be more than happy if there would be any way to cut power off the USB-ports, when closing the lid, via some clever configuration, which someone might know on this list?
