Phil, I have used this device from Technovision for about 10 months and it
works a treat.  I have it on a Toshiba laptop and set the output to the
external monitor rather than the laptop panel.  This plug simply fits onto
the external monitor port to fool the laptop into thinking there is one
connected.  Mine remembers the setting and i only need to switch it back to
the laptop panel output if i need sighted help with something.

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
