Hello @DesCherryBomb,
I understand that you are having issues with your HP 2310m monitor going blank and/or flickering. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

Hp envy m6 screen goes black but computer is still running

My grandson has a HP Envy M6 laptop, every so often the screen on his laptop goes black but the computer is still running. If he is watching a DVD on the TV via hdmi cable the movie still plays on the tv but the screen on the laptop is still black. Sometimes it will come back up, other times he has to turn it off and restart. Please, somebody give me an answer because my grandson is in college and if I can't get this fixed, he is expecting Grandma to buy him a new laptop.

Well, I went back and reread your links and realized that the second one was to update the bios. Since I know that my grandson might not even know what the bios is much less how to update it or know that it needs to be updated. So I updated the bios and although I hesitate to say that fixed the problem since it has only been a couple of house, I haven't had the screen cut out on me since I did the update.

I am having a hard time with fcpx, it is running so slow. i upgraded my ram to 12 and have cleaned up my computer to run faster and have changed all my files to proxy files but it is still running SO slow. please help!

I am having a hard time with my fcp x running so slow. i can't even move my mouse without the time wheel coming on and staying up for at least 20 some seconds. I have upgraded my ram to 12 and changed all my files to proxy files; also i cleaned the crap out of my computer removing all other media files I didn't need and it is still running the same. Please help! I have a deadline on my short film to be submitted and I can't finish it like this. Oh also it ran fine in the beginning but and one day it just started doing this out of no where. Anything will help! Thanks

In addition have you got FileVault switched on as that will kill performance.

Lenovo z50 screen keeps going black

I've had it for around 6 months with no problems, then in the last 48 hours, the screen keeps going black when I'm using it. It happens every 20-30 minutes. If I close the laptop lid and open it again, it works fine until the problem comes up again. I've tried downloading updates and placing a fan by it, but it keeps happening. Any ideas?

I dropped my ipod in coke. The screen keeps going black. Is there anything i can do?

Your iPod is toast. No amount of dry rice is gonna help.
"Coke" and other carbonated drinks are acidic (carbonic acid), not to mention loaded with sugars and other nastiness.
The acid will "eat" metals, like the lead and tin in solder, most liquids will wreak havoc with the LCD display, and since "Coke" and its cousins are acidic, they are also good electrolytes and will conduct electricity.
You can try filing a claim against your home owner's insurace, but barring that, you're out of luck.

Try plugging it it to see if the screen comes on. If not then you're screen is damaged.

Why does my iMac display keep shutting off? Computer still running in the background. I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.

Why does my iMac display keep shutting off? Computer still running in the background. I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail. The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original. Hasn't shut off again.... yet. Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other. Thanks.

1 year old 27"iMac screen keeps going black

So NOT happy with Apple, a $3000 machine! really??? their products are not worth the premium anymore!

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

IMac 2011 screen unexpectedly goes black (to sleep), won't wake

I've been having an intermittent problem. I'm using an iMac (late 2011) with 10.7.3. I'm doing things on the computer or some process is going on when the screen instantly goes black (no dimming first). If a video was playing, I can still hear it playing, but pushing keys on the keyboard or mouse or pad does nothing to wake the screen. Sometimes pushing the power button a number of times will get the screen to come on, sometimes it won't. When the screen goes black, if an external drive was running and then stops, I can sometimes get the screen to come to live. Sometimes this black screen happens when I'm burning a DVD; when the DVD is finished, I can bring the screen to life. I thought one of my two external drives was bad, so I disconnected it. That seemed to help (though verifying the disk revealed no problems). But a few minutes ago, the screen instantly went black again; no dimming first. There have been times I thought this was associated with a new bit of software, but then it returns even after I delete the suspect software. Sometimes I have to use the power button to shut down the iMac then restart it. Once, I had to unplug and replug the iMac before I could get the computer to respond and the screen to return to life. I don't know if this is a hardware problem (internal or external), a software problem, or some combination...or something I haven't thought of, at all. Very annoying. Verified the internal drive, repaired permissions; no problems noted there.

Exactly the same issue here - same machine and OS. got so bad now that it blacks almost as soon as it comes on. Over the past few weeks I also experienced the flickering screen that others have complained about. The black screen only occured after installing latest update (7.3) - and I only installed this after earlier problems with the update reported by many users were sorted - but the flickering happened before so may be not relevant.
What's happening when you press the power button a couple of times is probably that you have 'use power button to put computer to sleep' selected in System Prefs. Henmce, 1 push puts it to sleep and 2nd wakes it up.
I have done all the usual checks plus power down, unplugged for 20 seconds and then restarted to reset the SMC (System Managemenmt Controller) but problem has recurred - normally after sleep.
Aplle did have a large batch of faulty LG screens apparently so maybe this is the poblem. Otherwise maybe graphics card issue,
Mine's off to a service centre tomorrow whilst it's still under warranty... will update when I get it back

Screen keeps going black and I can't get it to light back up

I just purchased a "pinkberry" and am getting very frustrated with it. It keeps going black and no matter what buttons I push I cannot get it to light back up. I got it yesterday and charged it for about 12 hours so I know it's not that the battery is low.

seems like a hardware problem. Return the device to where you bought it and claim a new one.

Imac screen keeps going black sound present

Imac screen goes black can still hear sounds volume on but blank black screen
can anybody tell me why this happens?

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

Lately my screen keeps going black with no warning,what could cause this?

on my laptop, my screen goes black, I can't continue my work. What could this be?

Ok,
This is a 4.1 MacBook early 2008 in white?
First of all, I would try resting the SMC link here on how to do so.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
See if that provides any solution to your problem.
if not then it's more than likely to be the common fault of the invertor board found in the display housing.
Not a very nice job to replace and advisable to get Apple to carry out the repair for you.
But let hope it's not that.
Best of Luck

IPhone screen keeps going black and buttons are unresponsive

Hey everyone, I left my iPhone 5 on charging and woke up to find the screen black, as if it's been turned off. None of the buttons work and neither does hooking it up to the computer. I held the power and home button together to reset it and turn it back on. Luckily it worked, but after an hour or two the screen went black again. This has happened four or so times since yesterday and is getting quite annoying. Does anyone know what is the cause of this problem or how it can be fixed?
Thanks

To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings without using any backup:
