Hi guys!
I just bought the new LG IPS 236 monitor to run with my MBP (2009 model).
My aim was to run the MBP with the lid closed so I could save up some space on my desk. I got the wireless keyboard and mouse as well for this.
However, whenever I connect the monitor, and then close my lid, my display switches off as the MBP goes into sleep, then as I wake it up by clicking the mouse, it wakes up but only for a second, and then goes blank again! It writes that it's going into energy saving mode...
Now, the above happens when I don't have my power cable connected. When I'm plugged in, the display wakes up fine and then works.
However, my question is can I somehow do all this without being connected to power?
Thanks!
