Many of you have been using desktop computers instead of laptops over the last few years. Those teachers are connecting their large monitors to their new Lenovos so that they can work on a larger screen. The problem is that they are forced to keep the monitor up because if they close the lid the Lenovo goes to sleep.

Solution: Turn off the Sleep Mode
· Open the Search Tool on your Lenovo. Enter “Power Options” and select “Power Options.”
(Note: If you glance at the left navigation bar, you will see a link that says, “ Choose what closing the lid does.” Don’t select it…it doesn’t work.)
· The “Power Options” window will open. Select “Energy Saver” and then click “ Change Plan Settings”

Now Test it. With the Lenovo connected to your large monitor, close the lid and notice how nothing changes on the large monitor.
