Cannot wake up screen afer turned off by Power Saver on Tecra M5

Tecra M5; XP SP2.
Screen saver disabled.
Toshiba power saver set to turn off monitor after 10 minutes.
Once turned off, I cannot get monitor to turn back on.
I have tried various combinations of fn and function keys but to no avail.
Only solution seems to be to send to hibernate (power off button is set to hibernate).
Screen lights up to say hibernating and works fine after restart. Not a critical error but very irritating

Hi,
For this problem exists a Microsoft Quickfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917332
To download you can for example google for it.

W520 - now changes to "projector only" whenever display turns off in power save mode

I have my W520 in a dock with an external monitor. The display is configured to Extend - the external monitor is primary, and the desktop extends onto the W520 screen. I don't have a screen saver. I turn off the display after 30 minutes of inactivity. Until recently both the laptop and monitor screens would turn off after 30 minutes, and then both resume when I moved the mouse or pressed a key.
Recently, the system has started changing to "Projector Only" when the display turns off. After resuming from power save mode, only the external monitor activates, and the W520 screen is disabled. I have to use Fn-F6 to switch back to "Extend" to re-activate the laptop screen.
I have rebooted and re-saved the power plan.
Why has this happened, and how do I fix it?

Hi, timg11
I have a few questions so that I may gain a better grasp of this issue:
1) What is your machine type and model? You can find this information on the bottom of your machine. It should be in format XXXX-XXX.
2) What is your operating system?
3) Does this issue occur is the computer is not in the docking station? (Please try if you haven't already).
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Screen not turning off

why is my screen not turning off during a conversation - when I put it to my ear the screen does not turn off and I touch the hold and all the other buttons while talking. I tried switching it off and restarting it .
thx

Try a reset, hold home button and sleep/wake button down together until phone shuts off. Release the buttons when this happens and the phone should come back on. Give it minute to turn on completely and then do a test call to see if it is still happening. May need to do a restore but definitely back up the device before doing that.

Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

Sorry, my previous post was meant for another thread.
You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Iphone 3gs freezing/screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Any ideas what to do please?

can you help please? Phone having funny fit, screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Then screens merging.. Yuk!

Hey kathlovesparis,
First, I would reset the device:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

Take care,

My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

[Gnome 3] Prevent screen to turn off [Solved]

Hi guys,
I finally updated from Gnome 2 to 3 and wonder how I can prevent my screen to turn off after a while. From Gnome 2 I was used to be able to set 'never' besides settings like '1 minute', '10 minutes'...
Is there any way to apply that to Gnome 3?
Regards

Have you tried setting it in your xorg.conf "ServerLayout" section?
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Well, some systems [like mine] of some people [like me] don't have "xorg.conf cause don't need that file at all.
You should try another recipe:
From your terminal you can execute two simple commands:
xset s off # Disable X windows screen saver
xset -dpms # Disable display power management system
(From here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthrea … 528&page=2)
Really works. Just add this to your ~/.bash_profile.

Screen not turning off when closing the lid

I have Windows 7 64-bit installed on my MacBook Air 13.3" as the only OS.
Everything is working great with the bootcamp drivers except that when I close the lid the screen does not turn off. I don't want to turn off the notebook but only want the screen to turn off when the lid is down. I have looked a lot for a solution and am not able to find anything which can solve this problem.
There is nothing in the power options that can be done. Bootcamp is supposed to recognize this by itself, but unfortunately it doesn't.
Does anyone know a work around for this?
Thank you

That is correct. I have noticed the same thing. Windows 7 gives better battery life on MacBook Air then Mac OSX.
I went to talk to a Genius about this, pretty useless, told me to wait for an update. It has been half a year but no update yet. This is the only problem with the Bootcamp drivers I have experienced. I have managed to live with it, but is still pretty annoying. I always once in a while think about finding a way to fix it, but there is nothing that can fix this problem. Unless someone at Apple sees and listens to what is going on in the online fourms and fix the problem.

Preventing iTouch screen from turning off during enhanced audio book play

I have created an enhanced audio book (.m4a format) using GarageBand. When playing this file back on an iTouch the screen automatically turns off approximately every minute. Touching the screen will turn it back on, but I would prefer that the user not have to repeatedly touch the screen during playback.
Is there a setting of ID tag that I need to change to prevent the iTouch screen from automatically turning off?

Thanks for the suggestion. I had my iTouch autolock set to 1 minute, which appears to be what was causing the problem. Changing it to "never" has resolved the issue.
Thanks!

Cannot get my flash to turn off on my iphone 4? any ideas??

for the last couple of weeks i cannot get my flash to turn off on my phone4, even when battery is completly empty it still stays on. It also drains my battery very quickly.

Generally 10-20 seconds. If it goes beyond 45 seconds it probably will not reset. At this point you should plug the phone into a wall charger for at least 45 minutes to be sure it has an adequate charge, then try to put it in recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. If you can't put it in recovery mode you will have to try to put it in DFU mode to restore it (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0). If that fails, then you will need to bring it to the Apple store for evaluation. It should still be under warranty.

My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off. I recharged and reset. What else should I do?

My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off.
It disappears when turned on. It must mean something. I recharged and reset. What else, if anything, should I do?

You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

My ipod 4th gen went onto a blank white screen and turned off. what should i do?

My iPod 4th gen was dead so I charged it, the apple sign appeared and stayed on the screen for about 10 minutes then went onto a blank white screen and turned off. Now I can't charge it and it has already happened multiple times. what should I do? I also don't know which iOS operating system it is, does that matter?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.

Screen often turns off during calls - Unable to turn back on

Hello,
Often times during calls my screen will turn off - it does not respond to pushing the home button and will only turn back on if I press the sleep button repeatedly 6 or 7 times. Is there a fix for this? Does apple know about this bug?

Following an older post I have done the following:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
This worked for me. I hope this helps and thank you to Texas Mac Man who I got this info from. :-)

During phone calls the screen doent turn off, during phone calls the screen doesn't turn off

The phone screen doesnt turn off when i put it on my ear to make a phonecall

This may very well be an issue with the proximity sensor. Take it to an Apple Store; they'll be able to let you know for sure. But first, to rule out a software issue, try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.
