I'm so slow... It's just dawning on me that Neil was having me do what he'd suggested when we were troubleshooting my dead 70CT LCD to see if the lamp was bad. With a working unit up and running, monitor drivers enabled and everything going except the LCD lamp... the system is sending an image to the screen, but without the bulb, you won't see anything. But take it outside, which Neil had me do with my booted 70CT with the black screen... let the sun hit it... and I guess the sun provides enough of a source to create an image. Unfortunately that didn't end up to be my problem. So my suggestion of disabling the monitor in Device Manager, and activating the lid switch would shut down the LCD totally, keeping the signal from getting there to begin with. Maybe when I get around to switching the LCDs (burnt pixel in one), I can experiment with this Neil.
