Computer question - Battery saving tips

If you just want to run on batteries from your laptop and listen to an MP3 file, is there a way to turn off your screen to save battery power? I know this is probably a stupid question because if you turn your screen off how do you see to turn it back on? I figure it is the screen that drains the most power while listening. Maybe there is a control button you can use. I have a Dell laptop running Widows 7. If there is a power saving trick it would be greatly appreciated, I run 2-3 hours max with full battery, any help or suggestions are welcome and appreciated. The only reason I am asking is our electric went out today and made me think about it.
