    If I keep game client running, the display won't turn off even if I set the time in power management. Is there another way to turn it off? I'm using SR model.
    Thanks

    Look at your Function keys, and see one that has a picture of a screen.

    I think it is F7 on your computer.

    Press Fn+F7 (or the correct F key if F7 is wrong)

    And the display should turn off. You may need to press a couple times, but it should turn it off.

    To get it back on, Do the same.

    I have a small software (just 27k) that can power off the lcd immediately by double click it. after that just do not touch keyboard or touchpad, the lcd can be kept powering off. To get it back, just move your mouse or touch any keys / touchpad.
    it also can be used to save the power of battery and the lifetime of LCD because you can use it to turn off lcd anytime you want.

    if you want it, I can email it to you.

    good luck

    AFAICT, that only turns the backlight off, not the display.
