Quote from: MattPwns on July 25, 2010, 01:51:52 PM<blockquote>As Salmon Trout said,<br/><br/>Shutdown /h<br/></blockquote> <br/>That actually shuts down the computer. If he wants to blank the display but keep the computer running then this is no use! <br/><br/>Anyhow, another link<br/><br/>Turn Off LCD.exe is in this archive; can call from batch; works on <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/32-243836" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 32">32</a> &amp; 64 bit Windows<br/><br/><a href="http://www.redmondpie.com/downloadscenter/TurnOffLCDv101.zip">http://www.redmondpie.com/downloadscenter/TurnOffLCDv101.zip</a><br/><br/><br/><br/>Thank you for the replies.<br/><br/>I have seen that softwares already.<br/><br/>I would like to turn off the monitor of my laptop.<br/><br/>I am not right now on my desk.<br/><br/>So, I would like to type command on Dos and turn off the display.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>I just need to know if there is some kind on command on Dos to do it.<br/><br/><br/>Like we do have screensaver blank.<br/><br/>If we could do something to run the blank screensaver immediately.<br/><br/>But, That is not what I am trying to do.<br/>Just turn off the montor of laptop.<br/><br/><br/>Thanks and regards<br/><br/>Vish<br/><br/>That will ultimately die and give you the error. Quote<blockquote>If we could do something to run the blank screensaver immediately.</blockquote> Yes, that works.<br/>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.<br/>In this example I will use s<em>s3dfo.scr</em><br/>I will make a shortcut <strong>Shortcut to ss3dfo.scr</strong><br/>I will place the shortcut in a place I like.<br/>D:\BAT  and rename it to a shorter name :<strong> s3dfo.lnk</strong><br/>On the local machine the command is <strong>START  s3dfo</strong><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a><br/>D:\BAT&gt;ver<br/><br/>Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]<br/><br/>D:\BAT&gt;start s3dfo<br/><br/>D:\BAT&gt;<br/><br/><br/>That DIR will have to be shared on the network.<br/>I would have to issue a command for remote execution.<br/>But let let somebody else tell you how to do remote execution over a local network.<br/>I am getting tired and need more Coffee.He he he      <br/><br/><br/>I already had that.<br/>Already done with it.<br/><br/>I want to let you know that there is no screensaver for blank. <br/>However,  I tried to workaround on it. <br/><br/>by using "ssmarque.scr" <br/>config it to blank and background as black.<br/><br/>But still your monitor will remain in use. Even if there is black display or say no display.<br/><br/>Even if you use black  image things will be same.<br/><br/><br/>So, may I take it as "no command for in dos to turn off display"<br/><br/><br/>Cause if window can turn off the display. Then dos must be having this command somewhere hidden in his heart.<br/><br/><br/>if you can perform detail check.<br/><br/>Please read under power usage.<br/>I hope we can find something there.<br/><br/>Let's hope for best.<br/><br/>Thanks and regards <br/><br/>VishuYou are right. <br/><br/>It does not turn off the power to the screen...<br/>   just makes it black. <br/><br/>But might be enough to...<br/>  win a bet with your fellow workers in the office!<br/> Quote<blockquote>I hope we can find something there.</blockquote> Without other software, you cannot force a monitor shut-off.<br/><br/>Sorry to disappoint.Note a problem.<br/><br/>You really rock!<br/><br/>You have a good name as well I really liked it<br/><br/>Carbondudeoxide<br/><br/>I have seen many of your replies that are really good.<br/><br/>I do respect your comments. <br/><br/>Thanks</body></html>
