Is there some kind of a proper way of disconnecting a PB from a monitor? I usually just unplug it all out and then take it with me. I open up my PB and find its on a black screen as if its still connected to the monitor. I press the Power button making it goto sleep, wake it up again and then Im stuck in a blue screen with no login window. Im then forced to reboot the whole system by holding down the power key.
Is there some special technique that I should be aware of?
I run my PB in clamshell mode, which sounds like what you're doing. If you just unplug the monitor and everything from the PB, the PB won't go to sleep. Pressing the power button may have brought the PB display to life, and the blue screen is just the PB's view of the desktop. Generally, closing the lid, letting it really go to sleep, then waking it up works for me if I happen to mess up.
However, when I disconnect my monitor after being in clamshell mode, I open the PB first, disconnect all the cables, then close it so it falls asleep properly. Works every time.
If you're
not running in clamshell mode, then you should be able to just unhook the monitor and go.
