[QUOTE="MickMAC, post: 42555"] This is out of the PDF instructions on my 17in powerbook, and I have tried it and it works great... Using Your PowerBook With the Display Closed You can use your PowerBook with the display closed if the computer is connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and the power adapter is plugged into the PowerBook and an outlet. Important: To use your PowerBook with the display closed, the power adapter must be plugged into the PowerBook and an outlet. To operate your computer with an external monitor attached and the display closed: 1 Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to your PowerBook. 2 Connect the power adapter to the PowerBook and an outlet. 3 Close the PowerBook display to put the computer to sleep. 4 Follow the steps in the previous section to connect your PowerBook to an external display. 5 Wait a few seconds and then press any key on the external keyboard to wake the PowerBook.
