I like to use my cinema 23" display at home and attaching the digital cord from my MP Pro to the monitor. However when I close my laptop it goes into sleep mode? I have a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse I like to use instead of the actual display keppad on the MB Pro. Is there a way to turn this feature off so I can close the laptop and use my accessories and view my disply on the cinema monitor? thanks for any help :D

Yes, but keep in mind that the MBP vents much of its heat through the keyboard. So, running it while closed could increase internal temperatures, shortening the service life of some of your components.

Make sure you have "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" checked in the Bluetooth pane of System Preferences.

Then just click the mouse or tap the keyboard to wake the computer.
