How can I disable this?

Hi,

I have a small problem with my laptop. Whenever I try to charge, while it is turned off, it turns itself on even if the screen isn't open. Is there is a way to disable this function?

your laptop is not switched OFF, it is just sleeping or hybernating and it is set with the default power management to wake-on ac.

open up a terminal window, and provide the result of the following command : pmset -g

Shamsa,

i believe you are AC power now, remove the power plug, wake ur computer from the sleep, and redo the same command...
alternatively you can use : pmset -g custom

I wonder if it has any thing to do with the Energy Saver option in the System Preferences. Inspect the Energy Saver window.

Check the following option…
Settings for: Power Adapter

Then click on Options button
See if this option is ticked…
Restart automatically after a power failure.

Strange behavior indeed... i checked it on Mine, same thing.... even though the acwake is set to 0 as well.....

more strange, if the laptop lid (display) is open it doesnt wake up from sleep when ac adapter is plugged, it only wake up when the display is closed !

when the AC adapter is unplugged, and display is closed, i cannot wake it from sleep even if its connected to external display with an external keyboard !!!! unless i open the display !!!
