I am running WHS 2003 on a dell inspiron M5040. The laptop does not have a keyboard or trakpad. It works fine but i cant seem to figure out how i'm going to turn off the display! I've tried all the settings in power options! as well as nircmd, and variuous other utilities! The damn display just won't turn off! Anyone?

Shut the lid and the screen should turn off

The lid doesn't close! The screen has been removed from the hinges and hot glued to the back case into a tablet like design! P.S Please don't say "unplug the screen from the mobo"

I use a third party utility that can do that with a shortcut.

In windows 8 it'll complain about it being a foreign app, but if you

pick more info and select run anyway, it'll work from then on.
