I understand the display contains the following:
- screen
- bluetooth antenna
- wifi antenna
- isight camera
- some part of the sleep/wake mechanism I use my laptop as a desktop like many others. Let’s say I don’t need bluetooth, wifi and isight. Can I use my laptop without it’s display attached? (This is semi-retorical since I’ve seen photos of such “configurations”, where only an external display was connected and apparently it seemed to work.) In fact I’m only asking the following; if I remove it’s original display: -will the “normal” sleep/wake/restart/shutdown functions still be working? If I leave my desk, will it normally go to sleep after x minutes if such a setting is made in “Energy saver”? Will it normally wake up if I press a key? Will it restart properly? Will it shutdown properly? -will it function 100% correctly, given it’s missing parts (which I don’t actually need)?
Answer would be positive to all your questions..you can use it without top lid without any limitations in power/sleep/wake functions, everything will work normally. I’m only dubious about the screen brightness settings. Since I use such configuration occasionally just for testing purposes I never noticed if that works correctly too without a screen properly plugged to the connector. Hope someone can add some insight about that.
