how to switch off T41 lcd but keep computer working ?

:?: Is ther any function key which does that.
I have a T41 2374-7fu with windows 7(!).
I use it as internet downloader and sometimes downloading Microsoft MSDN's goes on for Hrs.
I presume I should switch off theCCFL lcd during these times.

FN + F3 = shut off display - however mouse vibrations would bring it back in an instant
FN + F7 switch between notebook display and external display, however it will turn off the internal LCD. You'd have to hit this key combination twice to get it back.

:( yes... But they are not working with my setup...
Is there any special software required....?
the Fn key works for F5(wireless ..) and brightness controls.

:?: Huh..what is that....?
My T41 is extra special (thats why I still use it...). I cant do auto update because the model type returned from the bios...is ^&*. I manually fetched the drivers last time for windows 7.
Everthing else works fine including the video (With the Driver Harry pointed to).
