    Why the screen doesn't turn off when only playing music?


    Sometimes I only play music on my laptop, without touching the keyboard and the mouse at all, but the screen doesn't turn off.

    the power plan settings say that it should turn off the display after 5 minutes when on battery and after 10 minutes when plugged in,

    but it's not happening.


    What is the solution?


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    FM radio doesn't turn off

    I have a Nokia 625. I turn on the FM radio app, and it works fine.

    However, there doesn't appear to be any way to turn it off. If I bring up the app list - it shows up. I press the 'X', and it disappears from the app list. However, the radio continues to play (and presumably sucks up my battery).

    The only way I've found to turn it off is to power off/power on the phone. There must be a better way?

    Second monitor doesn't turn off

    With the "when plugged in, turn off after X" option for the screen, the second monitor doesn't turn off after that time. Any idea why?

    Why the screen doesn't turn off when only playing music?

    Laptop screen backlight doesn't turn off


    Hi, I recently updated my DELL L502X to Windows 10 from Windows 7. All drivers have been installed and Device Manager shows no problem. However I'm seeing a weird issue. I'm using an external monitor (ASUS) through HDMI. I'm setting the display to show on external monitor only. In Windows 7, everything works fine. After the Windows boot logo disappears, laptop screen turns off and external monitor turns on. In Windows 10, however, there is an issue. After boot logo disappears, external monitor turns on, and laptop screen turns off - but not completely. There is no content anymore but the back light is still on. If I switch the display mode to Duplicate or Extend (just to turn on the laptop screen) and switch back to Second Monitor Only, the laptop screen can turn off completely.

    Has anyone seen a problem like this? Both monitors are shown as Generic PnP Monitors in Device Manager. I don't know if this is a driver problem or something related to my laptop. The bottom line is in Windows 7 there is no such a problem.

    Any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
