Jackie,
Thanks for this, I will look into it although sounds a bit dear for what it
does, I might as well buy one of those long life batteries for £50, thanks
for the info though, worth a look.
thanks,
Phil

Phil, I seem to recall that Techno-Vision Systems sell a small gadget you
plug into the monitor socket of your laptop that stops the screen from going
on so you save battery life. It costs £25 I think. I suppose the handy
thing with that is you know your monitor is definitely off by using it, and
you don't have to keep going into various settings to quickly get it on
again if a person with sight needs to look at the screen.

Hi,
I am after ways of prolonging the battery life on my Toshiba Tekra m3 and
was wondering if there is a way you can turn the screen off completely to
save power this way? if so would this make a difference to how Jaws
performs? If it is possible could someone give detailed instructions. I'm
running jfw 8 with Win xp pro.
I have been into display settings and adjusted the time for when the screen
turns off after inactivity etc but I'm talking about not having the screen
on at all when running it via battery.
with thanks,
Phil
