Changing the backlight period

The backlight period is the length of time a backlit screen

remains illuminated before the computer turns it off

automatically. Although this power-saver feature is designed

mainly for the backlit model screen, follow these instructions if
you have the standard model to select no time limit. This
makes your computer run more efficiently.

The backlit screen draws power from the battery to stay

illuminated, and should last a long time. However, it gradually

loses some of its brightness, and may eventually need to be

replaced.

To help conserve the battery’s charge and extend the life of

the screen, the computer turns the backlighting off

automatically if you have not pressed a key for a certain length
