    Close down the Lid = Sleep mode.
    This is the original setting for a laptop.
    However, you can change it at Power Option located in your Control Panel.
    Double click the Power Option in your Control Panel.
    On the Top-Left Side, select "Choose what closing the lid does".
    And adjust it as u wish.

    Try this TurnOffLcd

    Double click the icon to turn the screen off, move the mouse for the screen to come back on, you will need to make a shortcut to the .exe once extracted.
