Display backlight flickers and goes off

3000 2049 44Q
Backlight of my display flickers and goes off after some time...
Moreover is there any solution to overclock to overclock CPU

Hi-
Try switching the power adapters to see if the problem moves to the other display.
Of course, reconnecting/double checking all connections is a good idea.
Other than that, any references in Console/Logs regarding graphics driver errors?

  • 23" cinema Display flickers and goes to black

    Hey all,
    I am running two 23" cinema displays and one of them is flickering and going to black. Here is a video of it.
    http://larskoerkemeier.com/MVI_0972.MOV
    The curved bands arent there thats just from the filming but what happens is the entire image shifts up very quickly and what you see flash on the bottom is actually the top. It repeats this a couple times and then turns off and then it repeats and after a couple times the display just stays off.
    System:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Memory: 6 GB
    Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
    Thanks,

  • Why is my 2007 HP V17 monitor screen flickering and going black?

    I have an old  2007 HP V17 monitor attached with a VGA cable to an early 2008 Macbook running on OS 10.6.8 software  via a  DVI- mini connector (this is also my desktop computer). 
    About 6 months ago, the HP display started going white and sometimes gray for a few seconds before the image would return, and a couple of times I had to unplug it and restart the Macbook before it came back.  I followed Apple's instructions for testing whether the problem was in the computer  (= resetting the system by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC), but the computer tested okay.  I then purchased a new VGA cable and DVI-mini connector, but the problem persisted. 
    Today the HP screen suddenly went black (first time going black) and stayed black.   The power button stayed lit and if I pressed the Volume or Auto buttons, the "Volume" etc. message boxes did appear, so the device's backlight is apparently working and not burnt out (unless the backlight has nothing to do with the message boxes showing up, which for all I know may be the case).  However, the Desktop showed up only on the Macbook. 
    I checked all the connections, removed the DVI connector and plugged it back into the Macbook several times, but the HP screen stayed black, so I removed the DVI connector in order to type this message on the Macbook.  Then, as I was writing this, I decided to plug it back into the Macbook one more time--and sure enough, the display is back! 
    I love this monitor, which is the perfect size and ergonomic height for my setup, so I'd hate to have to replace it.  Can anyone tell me
    Given the information above, what's the probable reason for the flickering and going to black?  If it's the computer, what could it be?  Can I solve this problem myself? (See above; I couldn't find any other ways to test the computer in the Apple articles database.) 
    If not, could a monitor this old  be repaired?
    If so, how much would repairing it cost, since buying a new monitor that I probably wouldn't like as much would cost upwards of $300?
    Thanks so much for any advice out there!

    Hello @turtlewiz,
    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 your HP V17 Monitor has gone black and is not displaying anything. I am providing you with some steps for you to 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 issue persists after this you can try the monitor on another computer to see if it continues. If it does it appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.

  • My iPhone 4 fails to restore. Using iTunes, at step 3 of 4, displays "Restarting Sync" and goes to step 1 of 4, and then forever.

    It all started with a blank screen on a frozen iPhone. Doing the sleep and home button reset seemd to solve the problem, but then the apple logo started to show in the middle of calls, and finally, mail, camera, facebook and pulse apps failed to start, returning to the home screen after a few seconds. So it looked like a restore with ITunes was the solution. I was able to back up the iPhone. The restore process sems to start fine, but the process cycles forever, at step 3 of 4, display "Restarting Sync" and goes again. It seems it can´t pass from step 3.
    I have tried doing the restore from recovery mode with the same result. IOS is 6 and ITunes is 10.7.
    An interesting thing, is that as I kiled the restore process and disconnected the iPhone from the USB cable connected at the Mac Book and then used the phone as "Normal" it seemed that all the data and settings where restored, but not the apps; camera and mail keep failing to start, but the interesting thing is that the battery drains very quickly, in a matter of 4 hours.
    Any suggestions or ideas will be very welcomed.

    Try Recovery Mode:
    1. Start iTunes.
    2. Plug phone into a USB port on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
    3. Press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes detects the phone in Recovery Mode.
    4. Follow the prompts to restore.
    If recovery mode doesn't work, you likely have a hardware problem that needs service/replacement

    You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.
    What troubleshooting steps have you tried.

    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  • Screen flickers and goes black on boot up.

    Have an older white MacBook that when I boot up, screen flickers and goes black, MacBook does power on.

    I am seing a similar issue with a 13" White MacBook.
    Powers on ... chimes ... then screen goes blank as if the machine has gone to sleep. Hitting the Return key or the power button wakes it again, but only for two seconds ... and repeat!
    Any help gratefully received!

  • IMac 27' Mid 2011 display flickering and going dark

    Having bought an iMac 27' in may 2012 I was confronted with a flickering of the screen and the display eventually going dark for a certain amount of time.
    Unfortunately the first level support wasn't helpful and the second level support rather rude.
    Have taken the iMac to the seller I was told they would have to change the display for € 700,-. Apple would refuse to extend the one year warranty though other people have encountered the same problems obviously after checking in different support forums.
    So did anyone find a cheaper solution then just to exchange the whole display? Having to spend half the prize of a new iMac can't be the answer.

    Yes, the light comes back after a few minutes or half an hour.
    Will try take a screenshot when the display is off again as soon as I get the iMac back from the workshop.
    I have decided not to spend so much money on the replacement of the display for the moment. If the light goes off more often I will buy another display (probably a non-apple-product with a better warranty) and connect it to the iMac.
    As much as I love the concept of the apple products and the idea of an All-In-One computer (it's my 7th apple in 25 years), I really disliked how they treated me as a customer with a valid complain.
    If it just this little cable why would Apple replace the whole display? I'll check if I can fix it myself then.

  • Retina display on Mac Pro goes off randomly while working

    My client has the latest Mac Pro (cylinder) with two screens, one of which is the latest Apple Retina display.
    In my client's own words, here's the problem:
    "My monitors have been really buggy. The retina display just cuts out - then randomly comes back on.
    I have verified that all cords and plugs are secure and that the power source is on... it's been doing this since the beginning but is worse now.
    Sometimes one stays on and the other goes off -- sometimes it switches.  When I reboot the same thing happens.
    I ran disk utility permissions and repair just in case and all seems to be in order."
    Mac Pro (64G RAM)
    I searched online but haven't found any info on this problem
    Any ideas?

    Howdy generatech,
    To help resolve or troubleshoot the issue with these monitors intermitently turning off on their own, I would use this part of the following article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • IMac starts and goes off after a few seconds

    My iMac turns on and after doing the usual sound goes OFF! Any advise?

    Hi,
    Check for Login Items Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash.
    If login items aren't the issue, probably a good time to boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair any errors on the startup disk.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
