Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) is provided which is controlled by a remote control that sends commands to a receiver in the IHS. The IHS has the ability to recover from a loss of power that occurs when the IHS has entered a reduced power state. After power loss and power return to the IHS, the IHS will still respond to a power on resume command from the remote control. The IHS is configured such that when power is returned to the IHS, a sufficient portion of the IHS is powered so that the receiver is enabled to receive a power on or resume command from the remote control and the IHS can act on that command.
