Dear all!

Does anyone know if it is possible to run my iBook (G3, 600 Mhz, Panther) whith it s lid closed? I closed the lid with an external Monitor, Keyboard and mouse connected to it, but it fell asleep (people told me it wouldn't). Is there a way around this? It's not that I don't want to see the internal screen, it's that I need it to be closed but up and running, and connected to another screen. Thanks a lot for input, rigardos,

H

It's called NoSleep

It isn't good to run your iBook with the screen closed, because the heat that dissipates from the keyboard and harddisk (palm rest area) *MAY* damage your screen.
