Apple TV 2 Goes Black for a Second, Every 10 Seconds

My problem started when the power went out for about 20 minutes:
- When I turn my TV on, my screen looks fine and I can navigate around
- 10 seconds after I turn my TV on the screen will go to black for about a second then come back
- 10 seconds later, it will go black again for about a second then come back
- 10 seconds later... same thing, and so on, and so on
- I've tried different HDMI cables, but that doesn't fix the problem
- I've tried different resolutions, but that doesn't fix the problem
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

  • When I boot up my iPhone 4S it shows the Apple icon then goes black for over 30 seconds.

    Why does my iPhone 4S, when I turn it on in the morning and it shows the Apple icon, turns complete black for over 30 seconds before I can swipe and log in? This started happening when I upgraded to iOS8

  • HP LP2065 Monitor suddenly goes black for a second occasionally

    Hi all, 
    I have an HP LP2065 LCD monitor that I use with my 2 desktops  that dual boot with Windows 7 and Vista . Lately the monitor will suddenly go black for less than a second. This happens randomly and not all the time, and only a few times each day. I have made sure that the driver is up to date on both computers. I have tried to troubleshoot the issue, but, nothing out of the ordinary is found.
    What would cause the monitor to suddenly go black?
    Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello TinkRbelle,
    I understand your monitor is going blank for a second or two at random intervals. As you have two operating systems getting the same issue I think we can rule out software. I would start by unplugging the power from the wall and from the monitor and holding the power button down on the monitor for 30 seconds or so. Plug it back in and see if the issue persists. If it does replace the power cord/adatper.

  • Screen goes black for 3 seconds in premiere CS5 every time I click

    This is the first time I run Premiere CS5... On a fresh system install.
    I suspect it's not playing well with my video card, a Radeon HD 4870 with 1GB Ram... Very standard stuff.  I am running window 7 64 bit with 12 gb RAM, a week old build. I have all the updates and latest drivers, sigh. After Effects CS5 runs fine, Maya 2010 runs fine, Quicktime runs fine... What gives.
    Here's what happens: I only need to launch Premiere, right away I get the problem. The screen goes black 3 seconds before the prompt to create a new project. Once I create the project, the application workspace comes in, but if I click any menu, drag a tool window (whatever they are called), the screen goes black 3 seconds then comes back. Its basically impossible to work...Huge drag.
    Update:
    The problem stopped after I went into the 'device settings' in preferences and set the device to 'none'....When I clicked on the device settings panel, my monitor went black, and there was a 'no signal' warning that came up, as if the DVI-D  signal was dead. I was able to restore the signal by hitting ctrl-alt-del which switched me out of Premiere onto the desktop. Clearly, there is some issue with video. I switched back into Premiere and was able then to set to no devices.
    I'm not doing any capture at the moment, but I can only pray that it's some sort of bug related to not having a device connected? I plan on bringing footage from a RED in the next month. I upgraded to CS5 specifically so that I could use more than 4 gigs of RAM and for the new features.

    THank you for sending this.
    I followed the benchmark directions, and I get an error at the final step
    when I run the script:
    line 99
    Error: path not found
    I tried for an hour different things, namely to re run the whole test
    procedure, deleting the output files, etc... he script is looking for
    something in the preview files that it is not finding. I think the procedure
    was written for a previous version, because the metadata settings are
    different in my version of AME, and I don't know how much that affects it.
    Also, AME increments the file names when it renders them so that I did not
    get the right output file names at the first render. I had to turn off
    incrementing and manually name each clip before rendering. The vb scricpt
    looks for these names, so I understand it is important. I can't figure out,
    however, what the script is looking for in the preview folder and not
    finding.
    After spending almost two hours trying to troubleshoot the script, I gave
    up. I can tell you tho that it takes about 6-7 minutes on my box to encode
    all the videos.

  • Firefox will not launch. The screen goes black for several seconds, then returns to the launcher drawer.

    Installed Fennec 4.0b2 on my Acer Liquid running Android 2.2. When I tried to launch application, the screen goes to black, with a grey bar at the top with the word "firefox" within. This screen persists for several seconds, before the returning to the previous screen.

    Thanks for the report. This is a known bug that only affects Acer Liquid phones. We're working on it, but we don't have a fix ready yet. For details, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606194

  • Newish LED goes black (for split seconds)

    Hello,
    A few months ago I got a new LED 24" display for my early 2007 MacPro. Until a couple of days ago it was working fine with the Geffen adapter. Internet was via airport only. Then a few days ago--after getting aggravated for the 100 time with all the interference here-- I decided to connect via ethernet. (The cable runs from the airport to the MacPro). Since I did that the display has been acting weird. While online, from time to time the display would go all black for a split second. Nothing reloads when it comes back; so it doesn't seem to be a downloading issue. It seemed to be getting worse--and was happening while not online-- so I disconnected the ethernet cable, reset the network prefs, and am now back on wireless. But, the display is still doing its weird black out thing. It's getting me pretty worried (way way way too much money spent on computer problems in the last few months). Display problem? A conflict? Something with the power supply? Don't know why, but the ethernet switch seems to have triggered it. Only other issue I can think of is that I had to turn off the UPS for awhile while I was setting it all up.
    Thanks for any information.
    Jen

    I'm having the same problem. 2.8 GHz Aluminum iMac, started last week to black screen for about 1 sec about every two days, duration slowly getter higher each time, just now blackscreen lasted about 6 secs. Mouse wiggle, keyboard press, doesn't bring it back. I've kept a log and I'm never using the same program when it happens. It's disappointing thinking it might be a hardware problem. Internal temps are running as follows in °F:
    HD - 121
    CPU - 104
    Airport - 140
    GPU - 128
    GPU Heatsink - 124

  • Macbook screen goes black for a few seconds then reappears fine

    The last two days my macbook screen has gone black for a few seconds then reappeared a few seconds later. Its as if it goes to sleep for a few seconds. The two times it has done this it has been charging. I have checked for hotspots but i have not activated any. I only bought the macbook air two months ago and have been really careful with it so i am confused.
    any help? Please?
    Thanks people.

    Hello @bobbiy58,
    I understand that your HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC is going black for few seconds and coming back. I need to ask has this just started? Like since you connected your X-box? If so have you tried disconnecting the X-box to see if it stops?
    Please re-post and let me know. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • The screen goes black for about 1/2 a second.

    The screen goes black for about 1/2 a second. Is it time to panic?

    I don't see any common link. Sometimes it is just one 'instance', sometimes it is several in a row. But there doesn't seem (to me) to be any sort of common circumstances. (Other than that I am using the computer!!)

  • U3415W, randomly goes black for like 2 seconds?

    Just got this monitor and I'm having the exact same issue. Goes black for like 2 seconds randomly. It's differently on the monitor side of things, as I have another monitor connect through DP(daisy chain) and the same issue happens on that monitor as well. Both random, but sometimes at the same time with each. My third monitor which is connected through DVI has zero issues. I have tried the Dell without anything else connect, but getting the same issues.
    Any ideas?

    I am indeed, just a single mDP to DP was supplied. The issue was there with just that cable and the Dell monitor connected.
    I have since turned off DP 1.2 on the monitor and the issue has gone away. Problem is that my graphics card supports DP 1.2, so that shouldn't have been causing any issues. (Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X)
    Dell support were support to contact be back again today so I can update them, but never got a call.

  • IPhone goes black after 5 seconds

    My iPhone 4s, when I hit the round button, my screen goes black after 5 seconds.  Not sure why, I dont have any timeouts in the settings set to 5 seconds that I can tell, the only one i have is the lock, but that's at 5 minutes.  but its pretty consistent if the screen is black, then i hit the round button and it's sitting at the screen to swipe to unlock, if i dont do anything for 5 seconds, it goes black again.
    It will also go black randomly while the phone is unlocked and in use.  any ideas?   Can't imagine 5 seconds is the default idle time for it to go black, that's pretty fast!!

    Your iPhone has suffered damage and will need to be take or sent to Apple for replacement. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost wll be $79 US. If you don't, the cost (if memory serves) will be $269.

  • Help I just installed the latest update on my IPhone4 and now I can't open any of my stored podcasts. When I hit the podcast icon, the screen goes white for a second and the goes back to the opening page with all the icons. What happened?

    Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?

    Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • Computer boots with Apple logo then goes black

    So my MacBook Pro boots up withe the Apple logo then goes black as if the it is set on the lowest dim setting, you can just barely make out the icons on the screen so it is booting into the log on screen. I tried brightness, I tried holding down shift, you get a flash of blue then goes black. I tried the startup disk it starts up and goes black, you can just make out the outline of the language selection on the startup disk.
    Any suggestions.

    1. Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down apple/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.
    2. Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
    When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
    fsck -fy
    Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
    If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - run the command again and keep doing so (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
    reboot
