Keyboard shortcut to turn off display

I just bought BT keyboard. Could you please advise, what is the shortcut to turn off display? there is no break button on it. I suppose, there should be some alternative.

Try Shift+control and the Eject key in the upper right of your keyboard.

Turning Off Display Shortcut

Hello,
I was wondering if you can change the shortcut that turns your display off (shift-ctrl-eject)?...im using a remote program and the keyboard that is in that program does not have an eject key. If you cant change it is there any kind of work around or app that could turn the display off??
Thank in advance for your help

In Exposé, you can set up a hot corner to put the display to sleep. Set it up from System Preferences > Exposé and Spaces. Moving the mouse into the hot corner will put the display to sleep.

To continue and clarify this thread: I've had no problem pairing my iPhone and my headset, and no problem using the headset for calls when I'm anticipating that I'll want to use bluetooth and have it turned on. But, unlike many I've seen lately, I don't think of my bluetooth headset as a fashion accessory, and as others have noted, having it on all the time drains the battery much more quickly than turning on bluetooth only when you need it.
I've been looking for a shortcut such that, when my bluetooth is turned off and I find myself taking a call for which I'd like to be using bluetooth, I could easily and quickly turn bluetooth on and handle the call on my headset. My handling of such situations now is clumsy and cumbersome; I put my call on hold and back out to settings to turn bluetooth on, then the headset, then back to my call, which I switch over. So, nobody has a more elegant solution? I'm not just the naive user who hasn't yet figured out the trick?

The keyboard shortcut that turns an exclamation mark into an apostrophe no longer works in iOS 6. How can I restore that shortcut?

the keyboard shortcut that turns an exclamation mark into an apostrophe no longer works in iOS 6. How can I restore that shortcut?

Well, I for one really hate when they change this stuff. They get us used to doing it one way for years and then they change it. Why? Really, seriously, truly......WHY?
In fact, I originally noticed it had changed and then when I'd hit it, I thought it required me to touch both so I ended up with an apostrophe but then also a letter "l". I just left commas everywhere I went for a while cuz it ticked me off so bad I just rebelled.
In ios5 it was actually faster because it's the same move and time involved, but without the extra "slide". So, in essence, Apple went backwards.
Nice, eh?

I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute.

I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute to dial before.

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

Phone key tones are audible now even though keyboard click noise turned off

My phone key tones are audible now even though keyboard click noise turned off. i have turned keyboard clicks on and off and turned iphone on and off but still happening.

Why do you believe keyboard clicks and dialing tones are connected in some way? Neither one has anything to do with the other.

Msi p45 platinum - freezes after power save turns off displays

Just put this computer together, everything is stock, no overclocking. Seems to run fine, played a few hours of modern warfare 2 with no issues.
I noticed It seems to freeze after the monitor gets turned off by the power save mode. I just tested this by setting it to turn off displays after 1 minute of inactivity, waited watched the monitor turn off, then I went to the move the mouse and the screen came back on but the cursor would not move. sometimes the screen will not even come back on.
I have turned the computer on, left the room while it was booting to eat breakfast or take a shower, came back the screen was still on but the computer was frozen. Window 7 login screen was up, but there were some graphic glitches. this has happened a couple of times.
If I manually put the computer to sleep it seems to come back properly.

I think it might be the video card or power supply. Was building two systems,
second system has identical motherboard, processor and ram,

Installed from same OS disc and same set of drivers. Second system seems to operate the powersave mode for the monitor correctly. Will have to do some testing switching videocards tonight.

Turn off display (like an iPad/smartphone)

I have googled all night for this, and only found forum posts where people don't understand what the question is.
I'm looking for a way to make the power button on my helix do the same as a power button on an iPad or smartphone.
I want it to turn off the display and ignore any inputs from the touchscreen. Then touch the power button again and either have to unlock/swipe up or just continue where I was.
Yes, I could just lock the screen, but it would then still be on, thus using more power. I don't want to use sleep mode, since that would stop downloads/IM sessions/and so on.
Any suggestions?

Dont know about using the power button for this - but -
you can search the web for "monitor power off" scipts (Uses windows SendMessage with parameters specifying power off monitor), and create a shortcut for this script.
Then you could click this script, or set it with a hot-key to run it.
The only problem is that the screen will still be sensitive to touch, and will wake up on touch ot keyboard input.
** Did not try this myself.

Turn off display mirroring once and for all ?

Hi there,
I have a 13'' macbook pro, recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now every time I connect my external screen (a DELL E198WFP connected with the DVI output) the display starts in "mirroring" mode. I have to manually turn mirroring off every time. According to the documentation, MacOS is supposed to "remember" my settings the next time I connect the screen but it doesn't work. Previously I had a Macbook Air with Leopard and I had not this issue (the screen would start with mirroring turned off when I connect it). Is there any possibility to disable mirroring once and for all, as I never use this feature ? Thanks

Ok since you upgraded your system you might have a issue with your preference files for the displays. you need to Delete these two files reboot and Zap your PRAM. (Print this out)
#1. Delete these files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver"
#2. Turn off Computer
#3. Reset your PRAM by:
(From Apples instruction page)
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

GT70 Turn off Display LED Backlight

Does anyone know how to turn off the DISPLAY LED Backlight when using an external monitor on a GT70 running 64bit windows 8?

You mean display all only on external?
Just righclick desktop and go to resolution setting. Set screen output only on external. You can do it in Intel graphic card settings too.
You can use Fn button on keyboard too. If i good rember FN + F2(just check images on buttons).
If you want to have 2 monitors but from some reasons you want to turn of screen on build in for some moment there is button to do next to power button 0 right side.

Turn off display

How do I turn off the main display when using external monitor or tv, or can you?
Thanks
Arthur

The way to turn the display off is by closing the lid on the MB. Here is a link to an Apple article on the topic:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
Notice the article mentions using an external keyboard or mouse. But that isn't absolutely necessary. For example, I often close the lid and then wake up the computer using a USB flash memory device. Then I can open the lid and use the built-in keyboard and trackpad and the internal display remains off.

Firefox turning off display while watching Netflix in fullscreen

While watching Netflix in fullscreen the display will automatically turn off, as if due to inactivity. This was never a problem while using Chrome. I'm using Windows 7 and do have an adblock plugin running in the background. I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.
I realise that I could turn this off completely in Windows, but I'd rather switch back to Chrome given the choice between the two.
I did a lot of googling and no one else seems to have had this problem before, so your help would be appreciated!

I've seen a monitor power button on another OEM's AIO. This is also on my wish list It's such a green thing to do. However, it may cause confusion for folks who won't remember which one is the system power button vs the monitor power button leading to a support call (my PC won't resume from Standby or stays at a black/blank screen). I'm sure it can be designed/already designed by someone/somewhere
For the time being, how do you feel about either
1. Creating a shortcut to the blank screensaver (C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr) on the desktop and clicking on that to invoke this immediately
OR
2. setting the screensaver to "Blank" and set it for 1 minute
before you go to bed?
And there's the 3rd option: Just drape a black cover over the screen/unit, but keep the PC's vents unobstructed.

Turning off display resizes open windows

This happens through power settings, or manually using the monitor power button. Does not happen if restarting with open windows.
Something is also turning off the sceen saver from time to time. Happens with corded or wireless mouse. Using corded USB keyboard.
No problems at all in this area with Vista.
I have tried every setting I can think of; and have'nt yet found any help through web searches.

Here is a solution that created a solution for me, with extra directions at the end since only doing what MichealAtOz states didn't solve the problem for me:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-movesresizes-windows-on-monitor-power/1653aafb-848b-464a-8c69-1a68fbd106aa
"I have found a work-around.
Using Sysinternals ProcessMonitor I found that Windows was accessing the following Registry path;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration
My system had three entries;
DELF003YY7707BR0MUL_30_07D7_6A^9A3774EB79DEE3E3E38496CC7DF4D936
QHD32000001_31_07D6_D5^63E1ABDD175E7871DCAEB710418A0F75
SIMULATED_8086_2A42_00000000_00020000_1010100^CDE365D1B3F0942F0CF38BFB8E127AB4
Under each is a tree called "00" two of the keys are
PrimSurfSize.cx
PrimSurfSize.cy
Under "00" was another branch also called "00" two of the keys are;
ActiveSize.cx
ActiveSize.cy
The first two of the configs (ie DELF00... & QHD3...) the above keys were 1440x900,
so they were not involved.
The third (SIMULATED...) were set to 1024x768.
I changed these to 1600x900 and the problem was solved.
Further I changed resolution (via control panel) to 1920x1080, the moving/resize issue returned,
but the lower right corner was set to 1600x900, ie the SIMULATED... settings."
Use MichealAtOz's advice but within all the folders that are labeled "00" or "01", (etc, I had 00 and 01) look for any settings that contain 1024, 768, or I 4096 in the data values at the end in parenthesis. Change the 1024 to the x resolution of your desktop
(the first number in resolutions) and the 768 to the y resolution of your desktop. Change the 4096 number of "Stride" to whatever number there already is in a "00" or similar titled folder that
already has (without you changing them) the desired desktop resolution numbers in primsurfsize.cx and ...y. Right click the name and choose modify, then select binary as the base to enter correct resolution
values.
Hopefully this makes sense - it solved the issue for me.
I LOVE YOU!!
This has been annoying me ages and I finally decided to get to the bottom of it. After trawling through endless pages of MS engineers telling people to update their drivers, and the sage advice of, "have you turned it on and off?", I stumbled across this.
Great job, fixed my problem with a 5 second registry tweak.
