(The screen stays off, this is the bug.) Yeah, you're right. The blindly part does work except my screen never turns off.

Be sure to run > the latest Dell BIOS and device firmwares. I am using the latest device drivers and everything. I know some people had issues with the Intel Application Accelerator but that isn't the case with mines. Something is not turning the screen back on after it resumes.
