[QUOTE="mushion22, post: 757279, member: 74217"] Heya, Got myself a shiny new macbook pro 2.53Ghz and loving it. Also got myself a shiny 22" Samsung LCD to go with it. I've read elsewhere that theoretically when you connect an external monitor, keyboard and mouse and close the lid on the Mac, the external monitor should keep going and you should be able to use it in "clamshell" mode. However its not doing it for me :( Closing the lid put the mac to sleep. It keeps power to the keyboard and mouse, but sleeps the external display. Clicking keys/mouse doesnt bring it back to life :( Any tips? Tried it both in spanned and mirrored mode, no difference. [/QUOTE]
