Dell Precision M6600 monitor no longer working...

Hello!
The monitor display has suddenly stopped working on my laptop. The computer boots up but the monitor remains completely black. I attached a second monitor via the VGA on the back and everything shows up and performer normally on that second monitor... so it is clearly the monitor on the laptop that isn't working.
I have not dropped or banged the computer around at all nor have I spilled any liquid on it... so I really have no idea why it isn't working or how to fix the problem.
Any ideas?
By the way, I am running Windows 7... not sure if that's relevant.

Hi there,
I have already gone through some of the tips shown in the vid below but up to now I haven't acheived a thing.

I'll pm you my system tag and wait for your reply then.

To reinforce what was mentioned in the first response...
There is no "urgent" in these forums and your statement that everyone must jump to your request just because you say so is rude.
You have been a viewer of these user-to-user OTN forums for more than a year. That is far long enough to know better.
For the future, whenever you have a critical business need for information, you will need to use your support credentials and log a SR ro Oracle Technical Support. Be prepared each time to prove to them that such a need exists.

External Monitor no longer works after 10.5.8 Update

I just downloaded 10.3.8 update and my Fujitsu external monitor no longer works with my Imac 24". The same thing has happened to a friend who has the same iMAC and similar external monitor. Is this Apples way to get us to use Apple products only or is this a big with the update? Any ideas? Thank you.

Hello
Try disconnecting all external peripherals, then shutdown your Mac, pull out all power cord, if it is a portable, take out the battery and leave it as it is for at least 5 minutes... 15 mins best.
Then power back your mac and see if the FW ports are working

After updating to Lion my external monitor no longer works!

I used a external lcd tv to use split screen on my Macbook Pro. After updating to Lion this week it no longer works. First I thought it was my HDMI adapter but I have replaced it and nothing is still working. I've read that people using more than one problem have been having issues but i just have the one external monitor. Help Please!

I found a discussion thread here which seems to do the trick. Like you I've authorized, de-authorized etc, but renaming the files seemed to be the only thing that worked. Here's the detail:

IPad and iPhone on Dell Precision 6500 USB3 ports: not working

Hello,
I just got a new laptop (a Dell precision 6500) with 2 USB3 ports. Unfortunately, when I try to connect my iPad or iPhone 4G to these ports, the device will enter a loop of connection/disconnection or simply have a "device not recognized" message.
No other devices connected to these ports have any issue (I tried disk, mouse, keyboard and scanner). When I connect the iPad/iPhone to the "legacy" USB 2.0 or to the USB2/eSATA port, they work just fine.
Any idea ?

Look like those devices don't like USB 3. Your the first one that I have seen post anything concerning Apple devices and USB 3.

Dual Monitors no longer working

Hey there, I've been without net for a few weeks so I haven't done a full system upgrade in about a month. I normally have two monitors running just great using TwinView but I've recently picked up a new monitor that I'm using to replace one of my older monitors in my setup. Using the same xorg.conf (didn't think much, aside from naming the device, needed to be changed) so I plugged it in and all that fun stuf,f got it set up right, and I'm able to view the monitor that isn't showing up when starting X during boot and while starting up. What's strange is that I've had a different, crappy, monitor plugged in and started x and it worked fine and while X was still running I plugged in my current "to be desired" monitor and it worked! Though when I restart X I can't use it anymore. I'm not sure where to start with this one, I'm a bit of a noob so hopefully someone can lend a hand.
This is my xorg.conf

- I've upgraded xorg (though a release hadn't happened) in an attempt to remedy ths
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I've never used twinview, but I would like to see this figured out. My guess is that maybe the LCD isn't reporting to the comp correctly? Maybe you should check dmesg for anything about either? I know some have DSDT issues, and plugging in the old monitor before means it's probably erroring out on something small and fixable when your have the new monitor in.
G'luck.

Laptop monitor no longer works, and neither does external monitor

My laptop has always had a severe problem with overheating when running even the simplest games, and the fan area in the upper left consistently reaches temperatures unbearable to touch. Using software to find internal temperatures I have found that the CPU usually is about 100 degrees celsius just standing by, and reaches upwards of 130 degrees Celsius when running games. If it ever went much past 130 it would usually shut it self down so it wouldn't fry, but recently the heat seems to have caused the hinge in the area to become ridiculously stiff to the point where the tension cracked the case. This caused the hinge to come out of the casing which placed strain on the cable running through the hinge into the display. I eventually managed to get the hinge back inside the case after it being outside for a few weeks or so, but it didn't seem to matter because a few days later the monitor stopped working completely. It was now just white instead of displaying picture and my first thought was to use an external monitor temporarily but that didn't work either. When booting up the computer the power and fan turn on and the wireless light turns on, first orange then white, and the caps lock key will turn it's light on when pushed. I'm not sure why an external monitor won't work but if anyone can at least help me get that working if not the laptop screen it would be awesome, thanks!

@ckurtz22 ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forum.

Second monitor no longer works

Just did the software update (10/17/2012) for OS X and upon restart my second monitor will not work. Checked the actual monitor and it is fine. Any one else experience this?

Thanks for checking in, Jason.
I've been working with Matt on this issue, and your link contains a partial list of the various things that we have tried. Sad to say, none of which have worked.
We have any number of additional items which we've tried, including cables, res levels, resetting PRAM, SMC, deleting preferences, even to the point of installing an older kext for video. None of these have worked. This 27in LG monitor simply does not work with this 27in iMac, under either Yosemite or Mountain Lion.
Interestingly enough, a 23in NEC monitor works fine with the 27in iMac, and the 27in LG monitor works with a smaller iMac running Yosemite. The only difference that we're aware of between the two iMacs would be a minor speed difference in the CPU, the screen size, and the video card. Matt identified the differences in his post above.
The conclusion we've come to is that Apple removed some of the supporting code for the Radeon 4670 video card. From an intensive search on a variety of Mac websites, this problem has been occurring under Yosemite with other iMacs and MacBooks using external monitors for months.
This is a pretty big deal, since this machine was slated for replacement. However, there's no point in purchasing a newer iMac if it won't function with what is otherwise a good high-res monitor. Right now, we're looking at downgrading Yosemite to Lion, and we're also going to visit the local Genius Bar.

Dell 3008wfp hdcp monitors no longer detected

LAtest version of itunes doesn't detect dell 3008wfp 2560*1600 30inch monitors as hdcp compliant/capable.
How do I fix this so I can go back to watching HD movies via itunes?
using:
nvidia gtx570 x2 sli'd
dual link dvi cables
dell 3008wfp monitors
latest non-beta drivers
http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/displays/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s =pub&sku=223-4890
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-gtx-570-us.html

I have a similar situation. Am running the Dell 3008wfp 2560x1600 30" monitor, and cannot download or view HD movies from iTunes; can do so with standard definition movies. Took computer to a repair store I trust. They downloaded an HD movie from iTunes (one I wanted) onto my machine, but connected to an Asus monitor. Both of us were using a DVI cable. So they think the problem lies with the monitor. Although when connected to the Dell monitor, the Nvidia control panel says that the card and display are HDCP-compliant. But read on...
Using:
twin Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 cards, each with two DVI ports, but no HDMI port
dual link DVI cable
Dell 3008 wfp monitor
updated drivers, along with updated iTunes and QuickTime player.
On another forum, someone else was having a similar problem. After talking with Dell and eVGA, plus testing, he came to the conclusion that this monitor does not run HDCP with DVI cable, despite Dell's assertion to the contrary. It will run HDCP with HDMI and DisplayPort. I only recently got into HD movies from iTunes, (or am trying to); the monitor has done well prior to this. I hope a solution does not involve equipment replacement, but it may.

External Monitor no longer working after install of 10.4.3

Hi:
I am having some major issues after the last update with my external monitor, Dell 1905FP. I have a PowerBook G4 15in, 1.5 processor. Prior to the update I had no issues utlizing the monitor while closing the clamshell but after the update I was unable to utilize the rotation to portrait view on my monitor, with the clamshell closed. It would work on standard view to close the clamshell and then wake the computer utilizing a USB device or bluetooth keyboard.
I decided to after repairing permissions, disk utility, utilizing a DVI and the Analog cord with adaptor, creating a test user account, resetting PRAM and NVRAM and such to try reapplying the combo updater. This further broke the problem as I was unable to close the clamshell and wake the computer up to utilize the external monitor, even in standard (landscape view). When I do close the clamshell with the external monitor hooked up and then wake the computer with my mouse or keyboard the external monitor does power on and shows a lot of static and such not allowing me to see my desktop, but I can see the mouse cursor.
The external monitor works just fine, so long as I leave the lid open and if it goes to sleep with the clamshell open, it wakes just fine and the monitor works. This problem only occurs when I close the clamshell. I prefer the clamshell closed because it gives me the full screen that I desire in portrait mode due to the great amount of writing I do (it allows me to see a full 1 1/2 pages of text in Word while writing).
Another monkey wrench is that I was able to use another monitor, a 17in CRT and it worked just fine, I could close the clamshell and wake the computer utilizing my mouse as I have always been able to. However, I do not believe the Dell monitor is broken, given it will work with a PC laptop perfectly.
Does anyone have a clue on what this issue could be and a possible fix. I have used my Mac exclusively for a little over a year and I am just learning how to troubleshoot this. My thoughts would be to throw away the preferences in the system and then try hooking up the monitor again (as if it were a new monitor)but I have no idea what preferences to throw away.
Any help is appreciated!
Michelle

I answered this question on my own. I was able to utilize Pacifist and reinstalling the video card drivers and display profiles. Now everything works as it should.

External monitor no longer works after installing iLife '09

Before, the external monitor (Apple Cinema HD display) connected via DVI to Mini-DVI adapter was working fine. However, after installing iLife '09 and restarting, the iMac will no longer detect the external display attached to it. I even tried installing a different (but same model) display but it still will not detect.

I'm not sure how installing an application would cause that to happen. Have you shut down (powered off) the iMac completely, and then restarted, since this problem occurred?
Some display settings are stored in PRAM, so if you have not already, try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that does not help, you can try disconnecting the iMac from power and reconnecting it, using the reset SMC (power management) procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
When you reconnect it, initially connect the iMac to a wall outlet, by itself. Leave all peripherals disconnected, except for your USB keyboard/mouse. Make sure it is working properly, then connect only the external display.
If it still does not work, as a test, start up with your Mac OS X installation disc. You are not installing anything, but note if the second display is displaying the background image or not when you are booted from a different system.

Server Monitor no longer working between 10.5 client & 10.4 servers?

I've been running Server Monitor 1.5f6 under 10.4.x on my desktop machine to monitor a dozen or so Apple Xserves running 10.4.x Server for ages (3 years?). Upon upgrading my desktop machine to Leopard the Server Monitor application no longer connects to any of the remote Xserves. They simply state "waiting for connection". I tried every "expert" diagnostic I can think of including deleting prefs, caches, adding & removing server entries, firewall off (on the server), etc. I also observed that upon quitting the application, it often produces a crash message instead.
So I tried what I thought would be the obvious fix of upgrading to the latest Server Admin Tools suite (downloaded from Apple, also v10.5) on my desktop which includes Server Monitor 1.5.1-- only to discover it does not work either.
If I boot back into 10.4, everything works again so I am 110% sure the problem is related to Leopard. The 10.4 servers can also monitor each other fine (as a test).
Now I've seen some similar reports in this forum about problems with the admin tools after 10.4.11 and such. But none of them clearly described IMHO the exact problem of using Server Monitor under a remote Leopard client to monitor a 10.4 Xserve.
Can anyone else confirm this problem? Am I missing something?

Wow, thanks for the article reference. Some times no amount of searching will uncover the hidden treasures.
So... not to be too dramatic but... what is Apple trying to do? PUNISH users that have not purchased any copies of 10.5 server? Why wouldn't they release a stand-alone Server Admin Tools installer like they have in the past? (They "forgot"???)
As it appears someone attempted the package extract approach (and it didn't work), can someone offer another solution?
p.s. Where is that number for my Apple rep... >:-( UNHAPPY!

T510 dual monitors no longer working properly

I have a T510 running Win7 64-bit. For at least 3 years, I have had the same dual monitor setup (2 DoubleSight DS-1900S) running off my minidock with the laptop closed. The rgith monitor is the primary, running off the DVI port, while the left uses the analog port. I was away for a week at Scout camp, powered on the system once while I was there, and when I came back to the office, my monitor setup started failing.
Specifically, the right screen is active but it no longer displays the signal being sent to it. When I powercycle the screen, I can see the display for about a quarter of a second, then it goes blank. When the problem first started, I could cycle it about 20 times and eventually it would stay on, until I left the unit overnight and it went to sleep, at which point the probelm started again.
Sounds like a wonky monitor? I have a backup set of monitors that I swapped in, and had the same exact problem, so that appears to rule out a mechanical defect. More fun facts: I can only use the laptop screen as a standalone display. I cannot get the multidisplay control panel to open, even though my left screen is powered up. However, one of my programs that normally launches to my right (main) screen will still launch, but not to my laptop screen. It really wants to live on my right screen, even when that screen is not powered on (I can close the program by accessing the icon bar at the bottom of my laptop screen).
As you might surmise, this is an extremely frustrating situation. I have gone on many trips with this laptop, and each time I returned, I either plugged it into the minidock with no issues, or I had to readjust my power settings briefly to get it to work as per usual. This time, I have no clue what went wrong. Suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have not changed any software or drivers (knowingly), and I had already checked the cables to make sure they were all tight, so off I went to ransack the house to dig out the spare cables. DVI cable? no change. Power cable? no change. Converter cable - OMG!!!! IT WORKS!!!!
Thank you SO much! I could have sworn this was a software issue, never considered a bad cable or power unit.
Both monitors are working properly, left-to-right scroll is working properly. Now all I need is to figure out how to get all my icons/shortcuts back onto the right screen...

Upgraded to Firefox 4 and now the program I many alarm dealers use with Rapid Response Monitoring no longer works. RR Tech support said it had something to do with a change in Java not working with Firef 4

Rapid Response Monitoring Center developed a program for their dealers to log on to the main frame and look at customer info. The program now has a disclaimer on the log-on page Does not work with FireFox 4. RR tech support said it had to do with Java functions that were not continued in FF4. I can log on but the program will no longer display customer history or anything that seems to have a data base behind the function tab.
See www.rapidweb2000.com or call 1-800-932-3822 and ask for tech support for additional info about what they have found is the problem.

Id this the HP SimplePass Identity manager or Digital Persona fingerprint reader? If it is, the company that make the fingerprint reader have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

Dell Precision M6600 with internal display + 2 external

The only answer I found for this issue was from 2 years ago and the options arent the same anymore.
I want to connect 2 external monitors through a dell pros2x docking station while using the laptops display.
1 monitor works fine but the second one will not display a picture. the PC recognizes it but the display wont appear. Ive adjusted resolution and restarted the PC several times.
I am using a DVI port for the first monitor and a display port to DVI adaptor for the second monitor.
I also tried running the monitor from the laptops e-port via display to DVI adaptor.
Can someone help or send me to a thread that answers this question?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Try to boot with a live CD/DVD system and see if you don't have a hardware issue.
If the machine worked for a couple of days and if it works sometimes, that seems a hardware problem to me.
