I have Lenovo IdeaPad 310-15IAP. The upper button which is responsible for turning off the screen on the model is pretty strange. Its image is divided in two parts. I suppose it is responsible for two things, but how can I make it actually turn of the screen? Now, when I am pressing it the screen stays unaffected.

Here is the button I mean:

enter image description here

It is the button with F10. There are two symbols which are divided by a line. When I press the button I get the functionality of the right most button. I would like to get the functionality of the left most button.

And by the way all the other buttons work fine.

I suppose the button works fine as well, but I have to press something like Shift+F10 in order to get the desired effect (Shift+F10 does not work in the case) and I do not know what exactly I should press.

  • Which button are you referring to? Can you provide a photo?

It's drivers. I do not suggest messing with them.

Instead get this AHK script. You can edit it, but by default ctrl + 6 puts your computer to lock and then screen off if you press any key. Holding f10 unlocks it.

Or you can install this and configure your hotkeys from the gui, tough the ahk script is better, since with the monof utility when you move your mouse by a bit, it wakes up instantly.

  • If you vote, then could you please type a reason in the comments for it? Just curios. Thanks. Jun 28, 2017 at 23:16
  • It is not exactly what I was looking for. I would like to figure out how I can I make Lenovo upper row buttons to work. And one of the most important things is to being able to turn the light in the screen off. I up voted the answer. It was not me who down voted.
