You can assume that the LCD display is always off.
Hibernation - as opposed to standby - will not wear out anything, because no part of the laptop is in use or receiving power. But hibernating is not just closing the lid. It's Fn + F12, which writes the contents of the memory to the HD and powers off the laptop. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
