Turn off backlight on MS xp like a Mac?

I have a Thinkpad T60. I have downgraded it to MS xp and I was wondering if there is a way to shut off the back light of the screen like a Mac.



In a mac, the back light turns off to conserve the battery, but the screen is still visible under proper lighting. This is because the LCD is still active, it is simply the back light that has tuned off.



I have found a few programs that %26quot;imitate%26quot; the mac by changing the dimness, however, this does not turn off the bulb. Rather, it simply adjusts the indivdual pixels to a darker colour.



Is there any way for me to turn off the back light?



Thanks in advance.Turn off backlight on MS xp like a Mac?That has nothing to do with XP, but rather the hardware of your computer. Download the power management utility for your laptop from the manufacturer's site. If the backlight can be turned off, the utility will be better able to do that then XP's built-in power management.
