Is there a way to turn off the power save feature? I want to use it to watch movies and not have it stop playback because the keyboard powered down

Just because the keyboard powered down does not mean your actual media should stop. I had this but sent it back, it did not affect my media playback but I did have to press the space key before typing just to start the keyboard up, if I didn't it would skip the first letter because the first letter would be the first keystroke so this would turn on the keyboard not actually type in the letter. Also no I don't think you can turn off the power save feature but I didn't need to so didn't look.

Turn off the key board and turn it back on each time you turn on your tablet or pc

It cant be turned off. Only the mouse which turns both things off. But the keyboard does ware out the batteries so I never put the lid on the batteries compartment and try to take them out every time. If I forget it doesnt really matter as they do last for some time and most important I use rechargeable batteries here.

Change your setup, as suggested by others. Ours has never turned off unexpectedly, and we've sat through many many hours of movies using it.

nope, I jus have it plugged into a power strip and I just turn it on when I start watchin' movies. And I turn it off like 15mins later after I turn off system to get rid of left over heat works perfect.....

There is something under the "Energy saving" setting. It has a list from Screen off - - > Maximum. It's talking about the dimming effect...when screen off is selected as long as you don't wave the remote around it'll be off. Sound seems to be working just fine. Hope this helps.

It goes into power saving mode automatically when not in use. Alternatively you can put it upside down to avoid accidentally activating the optical sensor.

I have not noticed this problem with mine. In fact I'm using it right now without being plugged in. You might want to check your power settings under the screen saver settings. Perhaps it is set to put your computer to sleep or turn off the display when it is running on the battery. When I first got mine, I had to change the "choose what closing the lid does" settings so it wouldn't go to sleep and stop whatever I was downloading when I would close the lid. Hope this helps!

you can press and hold src button for about 4or4 seconds if the power does not turn hit the display button on bottom left which will say dis. that will turn it off, if u turn ur key off and come back you will have to turn it back on by pressing src or display. hope this works for you. jw

Yes. You may want to remove the keyboard when doing this, but you don't have to. As long as you turn it off it should be fine either way.

I have had my computer for 3mo. and i have never turned the keyboard off but i have from time to time turned off the mouse, the only suggestions i have is to take out the batteries.

I turned mine off also, it is too annoying for an old guy like me. Look on page 30 of the instruction manual if you have one under "Changing the Display" and try the "no display" procedure. If you don't have the manual, it says to press the Display button repeatedly (on right side middle of the remote) with the system turned off until you have no display (power saving mode). Hope this helps!

You can power it off from the menus. But there is no button on the device to power it down, you just have to unplug it.

Mine has never done that ... I charge the keyboard often as there is no indicator light that warns of low power, maybe that will help you too.

You can dim the screen, turn off blue tooth and the wifi (when you're not using it) and shorten the time it waits unused until it turns itself off. Most of these are in the Power Management section. There are F key buttons to toggle some of them. I believe there is also a setting that will allow the computer to drain the battery down closer to zero charge. As it is I believe it turns off with about 25% remaining as a margin of safety. I did everything I could think of and don't get anything like 14 hours of life. It is beyond mere marketing hype to claim 14 hours. Really it is a lie. Perhaps I now get 10 hours.

Hello, it sounds like the unit has accidentally been set with the "Screen Saver" mode on. TO FIX: - With the unit on, but not recording, click on the MENU button two times (you should see the little wrench highlighted at the top) - Use the down arrow button to go down until you see "Screen Saver", click on the "RECORD" button to select Screen Saver. - Use the up or down arrows to go to the "OFF" selection and click on the "RECORD" button. (this is where it may have previously been set to 3 minutes) - Now click on the MENU button again to exit. The screen should no longer shut off while recording and with power.
