[QUOTE="Maul, post: 496714, member: 14317"] I figured it out... To operate your portable computer with an external monitor attached and the display closed: 1. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to your portable. 2. Connect the power adapter to the portable and a power outlet. 3. Close the portable display to put the computer to sleep. 4. Connect your portable to an external display. 5. Wait a few seconds and then press any key on the external keyboard to wake the portable. I guessed there is a reason for the help section :D [/QUOTE]
