Hi,
I have a z61t running Windows 7 Professional on BIOS 2.27. I have a problem that only occurs when I am connected to an external display. When I close the laptop lid, I want it to stay in the external display mode so that my desktop does not jump over to the external display.
This used to be a problem but BIOS version 2.23 took care of it. See description here:
(New) A design change that the screen is set to extended desktop mode with an external display and "When I close the lid of my portable computer" option in the power option is set to "Do nothing", and when the lid is closed;
- (Old) The extended display mode is canceled and video output is switched to the external display only, so icons on the desktop will be moved.
- (New) The extended display mode is kept and video output is not switched, so icons on the desktop are not moved.
Even though I am on the latest BIOS, this problem has resurfaced upon my installation of Windows 7. I am using the latest Intel graphics drivers and all Windows settings are correct (i.e., I have set the power settings so that no actions occur when I close the laptop lid).
Does anyone know if a new BIOS release will come out to address this again? This is super annoying.
Thanks,
Kenneth
