    Heya!
    I've got an Asus j73JW with Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I connect it using an HDMI cable to a LCD TV screen of Philips.
    The problem is when I close the lid of the laptop the display on the TV shuts down as well. It used to work before a week or two, dunno what happened.
    I tried changing the Power Options so that when the lid close nothing happens but it simply doesnt work. I tried reinstalling my video driver, no help as well.
    When I use my fn+f8 key or windows key + P and change it so only the external display works both displays go off.

    HELP! =)
    thanks in advance
