Thanks for the details.
That information eliminates a few possible reasons.
Being a laptop computer.
What happens, if you just close the lid? (fold it closed)
Does the screen turn off or does it stay on?
Just hold the lid open, a very little, to see if the screen is off or still on.
Some lid switches, do not take much movement of the lid, to turn the screen on, from lid being completely closed.
My laptop the screen turns off/on at around 3/4 close of the lid.
Hey bigpup. Thanks for the feedback. I wanted the display to auto-sleep when not in use, but per your insight I'll will just be doing it manually by pressing the sleep button on the keyboard. Thanks man.
