My old IBM laptop has Fn+F3 programmed to turn off the monitor. It blanks the screen and turns off the backlight, hiding your screen and saving battery power. I would like a similar function on my new laptop (HP dv9700t) because closing the screen often can wear out the hinges and I want to maximize battery life by turning off the screen when I leave the PC while using battery. Are there any ways to either make a clickable icon that turns off the monitor or map a key combination to it (Windows Vista)?
