I want to manually turn off my display so I can listen to music from my laptop sometimes without the screen on. I'd prefer not to close my laptop lid to prevent wearing the hinges.

I tried changing the close lid options and set the power button to turn off display but nothing happens.

Does anyone have a solution?
 
Solution
You have an Acer laptop. My old Acer would let me turn off the backlight with Fn + F5 or F6. I'm not sure if Fn is turned on by default, so maybe just pressing F5 or F6 could be enough.
