my laptop has this remote control sensor on it that picks up the 360 remote. so when I hit power on my 360, the laptop goes into hibernation. really annoying!
I like to keep it on, since it supplies my Xbox live connection.

anyone know how to turn the sensor off? I have an HP Pavillion ZV6270. Can't find anything in system settings or anything like that. Thanks for any help.
 
I know that with my Dell Inspiron 9100 the remote sensor can be turned off in the BIOS. Look there would be my suggestion.

I'll try that out, thanks!

I don't know how to mess with the BIOS (is that like editing a .ini file?) and couldn't find it in the device manager.

Usually you have to push some button like space bar, delete, or one of the F-keys on startup before windows comes on and this brings you to the BIOS. BIOS is basically the firmware of your computer and controls all the "stuff" that's inside it.
