Hi,

You can turn the toshiba m3 screen completely off, although it can be a bit 
hit and miss.  Press function and F5.  I sometimes have to press the buttons 
twice to blank the screen but it does have a dramatic effect on the battery 
life.

Cheers
Karl

Hi Phil.
You I don't think can completely turn off the screen but certainly you can 
reduce the brightness which does seriously impact upon the battery life.
From memory I think function with page done turns it town and function with 
page up turns it up. There is no audible feedback about the fact that it is 
reducing so you'll need to get some sighted help to confirm that the desired 
effect has been acheivged.

  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
