20wm monitor black strip

After accidently hitting the auto adjust/OK button,  I can't seem to get rid of this black strip on the left side on my screen. Even after I manually adjust it, there's still a half inch off the screen. When I hit auto adjust again,  it just goes back to the original inch-of-black-doom. What do I do to fix it?
Ps: I've also tried the whole unplug,  wait 10 seconds,  the plug it back in AND the reset to factory default.  Both go back to the inch of black screen on the side.

Hello karflu,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that after using the Auto-Adjust on your monitor you are not able to remove a black line on your screen. As you have already tried adjusting the monitor I would suggest you try changing the resolution on your computer and then resetting it back to the resolution that you are using 1600x900.

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

  • White/black stripes on my screen for a few seconds on my Macbook Pro Retina

  • G5 HP Monitor blacks out, says No Input Signal

    This happens when the computer warms up, goes away after sleep, but always comes back. Problem compounded by the computer telling me my GeForce FX 5200 graphic card status is "No display connected." What stupid thing have I done or not done. Computer's new, a dual 1.8, so I don't know my way around it; not that I'm at all tekkie. Any obvious help come to mind? Thanx.

    I get the video back by either turning "Source" on the monitor off and then clicking it back on, or turning the monitor power off and then turning it back on. In either case, I'll usually get another five to eight minutes before the monitor blacks out again. If I repeat the process, the interval between blackouts gets shorter and shorter until I cave in, put the computer to sleep and come back in fifteen or twenty minutes, after which I get a pretty good run again, fifteen to twenty minutes. Because I do a lot of writing, it's a process of mental harrassment having my train of thought broken. I'm developing a flinch in anticipation, which sure don't make for limpid prose.
    I've only had the computer for two months, so it has never occurred to me to vacuum it. You really think that might help?
    Can't say how grateful I am to you experts for your attention and advice.

  • Some prints have black stripes instead of text

    Sometimes when I print a pdf, the printouts contain black stripes instead of text.
    Acrobat X Pro was used to create the documents from Word 2010.
    The Printer is a
    HP Laserjet 4700
    Driver: HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (61.118.1.11744); UDP Version: 5.4.0.11744
    I also tried another drivers AND also another Printer (HP 4700 too).
    Still the same results.
    Do you have any ideas what could be the reason for that problem?
    thx 4 info
    gamma

    This type of result is often due to errors in the HP printer drivers. Several things can be tried. Sometimes, using a tested driver for an older, but compatible printer will do the job. A lot of folks used the use the HPLJ2 driver even with HPLJ3 and 4 systems. Another option is to try to print as a graphic. At this point, I can only suggest playing around with things. A lot of folks like the graphic driver aspect instead.
    You might also consider printing to the printer in a PS mode rather than PCL if that option is available.
    I am only suggesting things I have seen tried by various folks. I don't have a good explanation.

  • Regza LCD HDTV 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side

    Hi, my 2008 REGZA LCD 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side.  I think the problem started within 24 months from my purchase.  And the stripes are getting wider. 
    I have tried to reset the setup, power off and on, all to no avail.  See attached picture.
    If someone can shed light on this problem and its (preferably permanent) fix and approx. cost, it will be greatly appreciated.  I could simply chug this Toshiba LCD and buy another non-Toshiba HDTV, but I think that would be wasteful if it can be fixed. 
    Regards,

  • Portg Z30-A-1E1 - External monitor blacks out randomly

    Very annoying problem - every now and then the monitor blacks out for 2 seconds and comes back.
    Monitor is powered all the time.
    HDMI cable changed twice and does not solve the problem.
    Seems like a change of resolution or a reset - can the problem be in the graphic card? Otherwise maybe the HDMI port itself detecting strange stuff?
    Please help I'm getting crazy as I work 90% of the time on external monitor.
    Thanks

    PS: another ridiculous thing: you buy a product that has a problem, and you need to pay to call the support service? Really not acceptable....

  • Black stripe printing problem

    I am using LR4.4 on a 32 bit Win7 platform with 8gig of physical ram and a Canon IPF6300 printer. I have previously printed large photos up to A1 size without a problem. I have been trying to print a particular photo to A2 size but a 75mm wide black stripe is printed as a band across the photo. I have tried various things to improve available memory etc but have not been able to produce a successful print. At times the printer does not react at all and I have to close LR, re-open it and reprint. This latter problem occurred previously from time to time. I am able to print 2 A3 side by side successfully. I would appreciate some direction as to what is happening and whether there is a solution.

  • Acrobat 8.1.2:scanning to pdf produce problem of appearance of black strip on right side of pdf doc

    I am using licensed Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional at notebook with XP Pro. I have trouble creating a PDF from scaner by using Acrobat 8.1.2, because of appearance of black strip on the right side on each page of pdf doc.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Oleg

    I hope this isn't a dumb question, but is it coming from the scanner? We have to watch two things when scanning on our Canon 5020s.
    #1 Make sure the sidebars are as tight as possible, including making sure the stack of paper is very clean and straight and tight.
    #2 There is a setting in our scanner called Margin. It corrects for things like manufacture defect. If we leave that setting alone, we get a small black edge. We have it set to -2 to decrease the scanning area. This fixes that problem.

  • Monitor blacks out when booting with KVM Switch in the middle

    Hi
    I have attached my Xserve with an iMac G5 to a KVM Switch. When I boot up the Xserve the monitor blacks out after the apple logo.
    I know that the Xserve tries to autodetect the monitor. Apparently it fails in its job when the KVM is in the middle. Everything works well when I remove the KVM and connect the monitor directly to Xserve.
    Any ideas how do I disable the monitor autodetect feature - or something?

    Hi all
    I did try that. No luck.. Strangely enough, I realized that when the server boots up, the login screen defaults to 85HZ refresh rate. I found a site that explains the plist file that you can change to force it to 60HZ. What is weird it if I boot the Mac connected to another LCD, then move the cable to the KVM, it works. It almost seems like when the mac is booting, it sends some sort of signal just before the login screen comes up, that screws up this KVM. Tried updating firmware, still in the process of speaking with the KVM support people...
    very strange..

  • A black stripe appeared on the screen of my iPad mini

    A black stripe appeared vertically on the screen of my iPad mini.
    I tried to restart it, many times. It continue appearing.

    If something like a reset doesn't clear it then you may need to contact Apple : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! My cm1312 all in one printer prints black stripes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My hp all in one does weird thing today - Printing black stripes! Ouch! 
    I bought this last year and I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. Does anyone know how to fix it? Also, I am trying to do a regular maintenance by myself, does anyone know what kind of thing I should do to keep it running properly? Any good tip helps!
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem.  I bought my CM1312 in May 2010 and since last week, it's been printing horizontal black stripes over the regular printing.  Those lines are really black...darker on the front of the page and lighter on the back.  The first page I print in the morning is usually all black and then it goes away as I print.  But it comes back if I stop printing for an hour or two.... I'm guessing some kind of a leak... I also have very very light vertical stripes on the paper.  I had the both kind of stripes but very light...and I changed the cartridge and now it's absolutly unreadable.  Help please
