Can MJ phone work if PC is in Sleep Mode?

Post by Chappy »

Can anyone tell me how to install PC Sleep 2.1? I was reading last night that some people use this to make their MJ phone work all night, even though the PC is on and in sleep mode via PC Sleep software.

I downloaded it but it won't install. It tells me I need to have .NET Framework after I already spent a half hour installing .NET. It asks me if I want to install .NET now, and if I click no, it closes the install program.

Thank you.

If the PC is in sleep mode the processor is not running and the power to the USB ports is turned off. There is no way MJ is going to work with it's power turned off.

Some modern computers retain power to the USB ports during sleep. My computer keeps power on to the USB ports during sleep. I have a wireless KB and mouse connected and can wake the computer using either the USB mouse or keyboard. I can also plug an iPod in and charge it during sleep. The CPU must have some standby power going to it during sleep in order to wake the computer up VIA USB ports.
