Hi All.

 

I have a Dell N5010 which I bought second hand a while ago from a friend which is driving me mad. It turns off the screen after about 1-2 mins.

 

I have been through the standard power settings half a dozen times and set Battery and Mains settings to 45mins or 60 mins but no matter what I do it still turns off the screen after a minute or so of inactivity. 

 

Any ideas?????

 

 I am running Windows 7 Home Premium edition. As far as I know this was supplied with the laptop when new.

 

Thanks,

Hello TheWern,

 

Is it the same when connected to the mains power using the AC adaptor.
