[QUOTE="PowerbookG417, post: 42526"] no the powerbook will run with the lid closed...you have to have an external monitor connected and you HAVE to have the powercord connected or it wont work... its been a while since i have done it so im not sure of the exact process but if it doesnt work once you close it and it falls asleep you can plug in a usb device which will wake it from the sleep OR shutdown...then connect your external display..turn the powerbook back on and then shut the lid right away...this will force it to use the external display connected and your off and running...
