I just bought a new laptop, A Fujitsu Siemmens Amilo A1667. I haven't really had a need to use a laptop until now but was just wondering about closing the screen. There is a little line in the safety manual about leaving the screen open when the laptop is in use. Although from the manual I think it's just a standard manual included with most products. I'm have to leave my laptop on for a few days unattended and I was just wondering how important that warning is. Is it safe to close the screen or is there a possibility of the screen being damaged from over heating or something. Thanks for any help
 
All the laptops I've dealt with (HPs, Compaqs and IBMs) have no problem if you close the screen while they're running. In fact, they're running with it closed much of the time since our people use them docked while they're at the company. There are a few settings under power options in windows to determine what it does when you close the screen (hibernate, sleep, shutdown, whatever).
 
Yeah I've already got the power options set. I was mostly worried about any possible screen damage due to heat and becuase of that line in the manual

Anyone got any idea on how to set up the supplied remote control to work with winamp or anything other than the supplied media software
