hi i have a predator 17x and i would like the screen to be kept on with lid closed because i use it for vr and i want to put it in a backpack while using headset

Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options -> Change what the power buttons do -> When I close the lid On battery (and Plugged in if you want): Do nothing

Hi,
Go to Power Options( right click Battery icon in Taskbar), click "Choose what the Power buttons do", change to "Do nothing" for when I close the lid. HTH.
