How to turn off laptop screen....

when my PB is connected to my Plasma and how do I get the sound through my amp/speakers?
Help appreciated.
Cheers

Could you just put the brightness to the lowest setting, which will turn off the backlight?
As for sound, you can use a 1/8" mini plug to RCA cable to connect your PowerBook to your amp/speakers.
If you have the last PB models with optical audio output and your reciever has optical audio input, you could get a optical audio cable to connect your PB.

    i just want to know how to trurn off the screen for save energy and protect the screen,someone tell me please! thanks a lot !

    If you are ready to switch off, put to standby/sleep mode you laptop by pressing alt-F3-F4 or through menu, then I recommend you set in power options "when I close the lid-do nothing". In that case closing the lid will switch off the screen for downloading time.

  • How to switch off laptop screen when you connect external LCD?

    Hello, being new to Mac I'd like to ask if it is possible to completely switch off the laptop screen when you connect an external LCD screen and use it as your main desktop. My MacBook Pro does that automatically when I launch a full screen game, say World of Warcraft, but I would like to be able to do it manually.

    If you have it connected to a keyboard and mouse, you just shut the lid and use it that way. Of course, I'd be curious why you wouldn't want to use the screen. Having two screens can be extremely useful. The only problem with it is that then you may miss it when you are away from your second screen!

  • Turn off laptop screen while using iTunes? Or best screen saver?

    Is there a way to turn off the iBook display and still let the computer use iTunes? I can't find anything on this. If that isn't possible, what would be the best screen saver for actually saving the screen? If you know what I mean....

    That does work--thank you. I wanted this solution for iTunes. This came to my attention when a friend of mine was using his MacBook to run a movie on a television, and he was complaining about the fact that the MacBook display could not be shut off while exporting the feed to the tv. You've answered my question, but I'm going to amend the topic to include shutting off screen while exporting a video feed--perhaps someone knows the answer to that. (I don't have anything to port a feed too, or I'd try it myself.) Thank you!

  • Smart Card Reader - How to turn off logon screen from reboot or wake up

    I just set up the bluetooth reader on my laptop and now when my laptop wakes up or on reboot the BB smart card reader is there to logon.   I rarely use my smart card reader on my laptop, i use it primarily on my phone.  I don't want to unistall it but I dont need to see that screen.  Any one know how to shut it off?

    Most likely after installing it changed the PC log on type to the reader.
    In control panel (assuming you have a windows product) you can change how a user logs on.

  • How to turn off on-screen notifications

    I am running Yosemite and I have become annoyed with the Notifications that keep streaming in the upper right of the screen.  I used to just get software update notifications, but now I'm getting notices overtime and email comes in or someone likes a Facebook post.  They are quite distracting and unnecessary and I cannot find a place to turn them off or change preferences.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.  It was the banners that were bothersome.   I had looked in preferences and it wasn't making sense to me since I didn't know what banners and alerts meant.  And I still don't know what badge app icons or lock screens are.

  • How to turn off the Screen Saver in 10.4.8

    I've been running tiger since 10.4.5 and do not want the OSX screen saver activated. Until now it has been sufficient to set screen saver to "never" in System preferences. After upgrading to 10.4.8, however, this does not prevent the screen saver from turning itself on.
    I've done the usual magic, like repairing file permissions, without it helping much. Anybody have any suggestions?
    best,
    bob_tm

    Hmmm... it did not work. I deleted the file and then the screen saver type and the time reverted to (I guess) default values. Then setting it to "never" did not fix the problem - the screen saver still came on within an hour (I would guess after default time - I was away for an hour).
    Doing a "find" I saw that there was also such a file under "Safe Preferences" - should I delete that as well?
    Any other pointers? Should I reboot as well?
    best,

  • Cant figure out how to turn off my screen speakers

    problem solved, thanks anyway!

    maybe your power button is pushed down and won't allow it to turn on.
    usually when you touch any button on an iphone, it will turn on. wether it's the home or power button.
    you should take your phone into the apple store.

  • How to turn off screen rotation on itouch 5

    I just upgraded to a 32 bit iTouch 5 and was wanting to know how to turn off the screen rotation when I'm playing music. I have the shake to shuffle off (great feature!) but would like to turn off the screen rotation. I just find that to be annoying (to me anyway)...how do I do this on the 5?

    Pull up the Control Center and lock the screen rotation. Tap the arrowed-circled padlock on the right side to toggle
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • In Windows10 - I have a cracked screen on my ACER Laptop Aspire. How do I turn off touch screen?

    I upgraded to Windows10. How do I turn off Touch Screen ; My ACER Aspire is cracked. ThanX!

    Hi roger,
    It appears that the option isn't available in Windows 10 as it was in Windows 8. You can try going into the Device Manager, expand Human Interface Devices and disable HID-compliant touch screen. This worked for me. I did a restart and it did not enable on it's own. In the mean time, I'm asking our content team to review and publish content as necessary.
    Hope this helps,

  • Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?

    Dear All,
    I am connecting my Mac to TV 32'' via mini display port converted to HDMI.
    I am using it on MAC OS X 10.6.6, and on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 also.
    when i am connecting my TV, the 2 screens are on, Laptop screen and TV screen.
    Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?
    how to do this on both operating systems?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Boudy,

    The quick answer is, hook up the tv to the computer, close the lid, then wake the computer up by clicking the mouse while the lid is closed. Not sure if it'll work while running windows, but I'd bet it does if you have the mac drivers installed on the win os.

  • How to turn off screen without passcode lock.

    I just upgraded my wife's iPad 2 from ios 6 to 7.  It used to be when you closed the ipad cover, it would turn off the screen right away.  I would still like it to turn off the screen right away when the cover is closed (so as not to waste batteries) yet NOT require a passcode when opened again (just a slide of the arrow like it used to be).  But right now, if I turn off the lock/unlock feature, and close the lid, the screen will remain full-on until the the auto-lock timer goes into effect - which will be never if I set it to "never".
    I don't want to argue about the merits of having a passcode, I concede all your points, so there is no reason to tell me how stupid I am for not wanting to use one - but I would like to be able to have the screen go off without requiring a passcode to turn it back on.  Is this now impossible?  At the least, it should turn off the screen immediately when the cover is closed, and wait to put it in passcode lock mode until the auto-lock timer expires.
    Is there any way to do this or is this just a case of Apple imposing this security feature our own good? Thanks.
    -J

    Wow.  That was a super-fast answer.  Thanks.  I had seen that optoin and foolishly hadn't tried it because I thought typing my passcode there was just another way to put it into passcode lockdown "immediately".  Well, I said I was stupid. Thanks, it does now work the way it used to and I can still have it require the passcode after a certain timeout period.

    How to turn off screen on Macbook Air when connected to Led monitor screen?

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.
