Turning off the touch screen saves the battery?

Hi all. I have recently bought one of these new Asus 2 in 1 folding booklets (TP500LN-CJ035H).

The battery life is OK, but I want to squeeze a little more out of it, so I was wondering if disabling the touch screen by Device Manager, will save you piles. I'm not too fussed on the touchscreen then don't use do not really mind.

Hi Luke_404notfound

Thanks for posting the question on the Microsoft Community Forums.

From the description, I understand you are looking for ways to extend the life of your laptop battery and wonder if the deactivation of the touchscreen will save batteries.

If you do not use the touch screen, you can go ahead and disable it to see if it increases your battery life. However, may I recommend try you some of the steps listed here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/tips-save-battery-power

  • How to make it turn off the touch screen?

    I don't want to use the touch screen. How to turn off the it? It is activated by all sorts of things, like my touch cat's tail, or an insect landing on it, or a curtain blowing against it. I don't type using the screen, I prefer the keyboard that I can not type quickly on the screen. I would like to turn off the touch screen when I use it not (most of the time), or even permanently - it is not useful for what I want to do that the screen is not as sensitive or as fast as the input devices that I usually use.

    Hi, I have a HP TouchSmart 320-1030, so it can work on your touch screen:

    1. Press Windows + X logo.
    2. Select Device Manager from the list.
    3. Click on the small arrow next to Interface devices to expand the list.
    4. Click the touchscreen driver (in my case, Voltron NextWindow touch screen).
    5. Right click and select disable from the list.
    6. Click Yes in the dialog box that asks you if you are sure you want to disable the touch screen driver.

    When you want your touchscreen to work again, follow the above procedure, EXCEPT when right-clicking on the touch screen driver, select enable.

    Hey Buddy,

    I downloaded the manual to the user off Camileo S20 and searched a little, but unfortunately I can't find any information about turning off the screen when you use Time Lapse or motion detection. It seems that the screen is always enabled.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L670 - can I turn off the sound when the battery is empty?

    Hello

    Is it possible to disable the bios beep when the battery is empty or the laptop's Hibernate?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L670.

    Even when the sound in Windows is turned off the laptop do a annoying sound.

    Thank you!

    Maybe it sounds silly, but I put t understand why that should be disabled. When the battery reaches the critical battery level you will be informed about this and portable must be connected to the power running or you have to save your work and turn it off.

    Do you really want to work until the battery is completely discharged?

    Anyway, AFAIK this notification level BIOS cannot be disabled.
    Let's see if someone else is better informed than me.

    Wireless devices may also not allow the computer to turn off the screen if there is no interference.

    In addition, it is not advisable to keep the laptop. He could be an update or a facility that has occurred and which requires a stop. Would cause the problem; try to restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

    If the problem persists, check that the power plans settings. For more information follow the link below.

  • Venue Pro 8 - button / stop does not turn off the screen

    I just got a coming 8 Pro (32g).  The user manual says that I should be able to press the power button and turn off the screen.  However, when I press the power button, nothing happens.  I can for 4 seconds and the PC will ask to stop, but pressing on this button does not put the tablet in standby or turn off the screen at all.  I have to go to settings-> Power-> sleep just to turn off the screen.

    Yes, I checked the setting of the button / stop under control panel, and it is set to "Sleep" for all cases, battery and plugged in.

    Is there another setting somewhere to turn on the power button to turn off the screen?

  • How can S2340T, I turn off the touch function?

    I am running the S2340T monitor on a Windows Pro 8.1 System.  Touch calibration occasionally goes haywire, but I've always been able to open the tool pen and Touch and recalibrate.  Except that now, it doesn't seem to be "holding".

    As I rarely use the tactile aspect of the screen and am completely comfortable with my trackball mouse, I would just turn the tactile aspect * off *.

    How can I do this?  I know that you go to the Device Manager, but how to know what 'Human Interface' element it is?  I'm a gamer, so I have a * lot * of human interface elements.

    Thank you!

    Disconnect the monitor cable computer USB upstream will turn off the monitor to "touch" feature This means that you will not be able to use one of the USB ports monitor downstream.
