Solve : Turn off laptop monitor? |
|
Answer» Hi folks, I do not want to use others software. So, thought there must me something in windows. There is. Shutdown.exe C:>shutdown /? Usage: shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e] [/f] [/m \\computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c "comment"]] No args Display help. This is the same as typing /?. /? Display help. This is the same as not typing any options. /i Display the graphical user interface (GUI). This must be the first option. /l Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options. /s Shutdown the computer. /r Shutdown and restart the computer. /g Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is rebooted, restart any registered applications. /a Abort a system shutdown. This can only be used during the time-out period. /p Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning. Can be used with /d and /f options. /h Hibernate the local computer. Can be used with the /f option. /e Document the reason for an unexpected shutdown of a computer. /m \\computer Specify the target computer. /t xxx Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds. The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 YEARS), with a default of 30. If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is implied. /c "comment" Comment on the reason for the restart or shutdown. Maximum of 512 characters allowed. /f Force running applications to close without forewarning users. The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is specified for the /t parameter. /d [p|u:]xx:yy Provide the reason for the restart or shutdown. p indicates that the restart or shutdown is planned. u indicates that the reason is user defined. If neither p nor u is specified the restart or shutdown is unplanned. xx is the major reason number (positive integer less than 256). yy is the minor reason number (positive integer less than 65536). Can you give any command to turn off computer display?http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/07/20/how-to-manually-turn-off-notebook-or-laptop-lcd-screen/As Salmon Trout said, Shutdown /hMy guess is he wants to turn off the display of his rival's laptop so he can win a bet. But yes, it can be done without extra software and not putting it into hi berate. Quote from: MattPwns on July 25, 2010, 01:51:52 PM As Salmon Trout said, That actually shuts down the computer. If he wants to blank the display but keep the computer running then this is no use! Anyhow, another link Turn Off LCD.exe is in this archive; can call from batch; works on 32 & 64 bit Windows http://www.redmondpie.com/downloadscenter/TurnOffLCDv101.zip Thank you for the replies. I have seen that softwares already. I would like to turn off the monitor of my laptop. I am not right now on my desk. So, I would like to type command on Dos and turn off the display. Setting the Hz rate more will turn off the display but that is not the way. Cause that will try to increase the hardware functionality beyond it's limitation. I just need to know if there is some kind on command on Dos to do it. Like we do have screensaver blank. If we could do something to run the blank screensaver immediately. But, That is not what I am trying to do. Just turn off the montor of laptop. Thanks and regards Vish That will ultimately die and give you the error. Quote If we could do something to run the blank screensaver immediately.Yes, that works. Find or make a SCR file that does a blank screen. It would normally be in the WINDOWS32 area. Create a shortcut to it, a LINK file. In this example I will use ss3dfo.scr I will make a shortcut Shortcut to ss3dfo.scr I will place the shortcut in a place I like. D:\BAT and rename it to a shorter name : s3dfo.lnk On the local machine the command is START s3dfo Code: [Select] D:\BAT>ver Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] D:\BAT>start s3dfo D:\BAT> That DIR will have to be shared on the network. I would have to issue a command for remote execution. But let let somebody else tell you how to do remote execution over a local network. I am getting tired and need more Coffee.He he he I already had that. Already done with it. I want to let you know that there is no screensaver for blank. However, I tried to workaround on it. by using "ssmarque.scr" config it to blank and background as black. But still your monitor will remain in use. Even if there is black display or say no display. Even if you use black image things will be same. So, may I take it as "no command for in dos to turn off display" Cause if window can turn off the display. Then dos must be having this command somewhere hidden in his heart. if you can perform detail check. Please read under power usage. I hope we can find something there. Let's hope for best. Thanks and regards VishuYou are right. It does not turn off the power to the screen... just makes it black. But might be enough to... win a bet with your fellow workers in the office! Quote I hope we can find something there.Without other software, you cannot force a monitor shut-off. Sorry to disappoint.Note a problem. You really rock! You have a good name as well I really liked it Carbondudeoxide I have seen many of your replies that are really good. I do respect your comments. Thanks |
