SYMPTOMS
When you remove a device from a Windows Vista-based computer that is asleep, the computer wakes. For example, the computer wakes when you remove a USB keyboard or a USB mouse.
You may not notice when a portable computer that has its lid closed has awakened. Therefore, battery power may be consumed.
