- Enter power settings and slide all of the sliders to the far right so they said *never*. <br><br>This appears to have stopped the screen from blanking...<br><br>Thanks...<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 12:17 PM, Jarle Thorsen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jarlethorsen@gmail.com">jarlethorsen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
