I posted this on another site but received no help.
A few months ago my power button broke. Please don't offer fixes for this. I'm over it. The way I power it on now is basically tinkering around with a safety pin which can work in 2 seconds or 2 minutes trying to find the sweet spot. I'd like to avoid this for obvious reasons so I've started looking up Wake On Lan. This should allow me to boot it up from another computer in my house without having to deal with it.
The laptop I want to boot up is an HP Probook 4720. I've gone into the BIOS and enabled Wake On Lan. So I know it's supported and possible. I've gone into the power options and disabled "Turn on Fast Startup". I've gone into the Network Adapter settings and made sure Wake on Magic Packet was enabled. I went into Power Management and ticked "Allow this device to wake the computer" and Only allow a magic packet to wake this computer" were enabled. I'm not sure if I should tick "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power" because I've read conflicting posts on that. Either way, I then downloaded TeamViewer and thus far I've been able to get the two computers to interact with one another. I'm able to use one to control the other. I'm able to file share. But I still can't get the Probook to wake up when it's turned off.
If someone could walk me through this I'd be forever grateful.
