Display Turn Off inoperative

Well Mike, that fixed it! The only other thing I did simultaneously was turn the power off on the monitor. So unless that reset something the wireless mouse was causing the problem.

Thanks,

do you use a wireless mouse/keyboard, sometimes their drivers prevent the system from some power operations.

That is a thought in that my old Logitech MX700 doesn't work but it is still connected. Maybe I'll just pull the chassis out of the desk and pull it out of the USB. I was going to do that anyhow but I was too lazy. Note that the display power function did work with the MX700 connected as recent as a few days ago.

Turning off automatic email checking did not solve the problem

In case you missed it Dev, I had an unfunctional wireless mouse in the
system since day one. However, in removing the mouse from the USB the
display turnoff now works again.

glad things worked out.
