i did a search, and i checked the FAQ, but i didn't see anything, so here goes...
how do you turn off the screen manually, instead of having to wait for the power manager to do it?
thanks.

Fn+F3 should do it.

You can make it a quick link so that when you press the ThinkVantage button, Power Off Display is on the list that shows up.
From the help:
Screen blank. The computer display requires considerable battery power. To turn off power to the computer display, do as follows:
Press the ThinkVantage(TM) button. ThinkVantage Productivity Center opens.
Click Customize. Productivity Center Customization Utility opens.
Select the checkbox for Power off display on the Quick Links tab page.

Well, I never knew that myself, so I was glad to research it! I was sure I had read something about a function key combo that did it, but if there is, I never found it.

Yeah, there are Fn Combos that aren't well documented for the T4X series and even they take some obscure snooping around to get as well.
