    I saw a similar post in this forum where some guy had the problem that if he took out the power cord or inserted it back, the screen would turn off for a moment and come back on.
    I'm having the same problem, but that solution didn't work for me (installed latest Intel drivers) (refresh rate was already 60Hz)

    Did you make sure the refresh rate was 60 when plugged in and when unplugged. That is the behavior of it switching to 40 when you unplug it.
