DisplayConfigX blacked out my screen!!!!

I used DisplayConfigX to adjust the picture of my MacMini on the TV screen. Apparently I set it to some resolution the TV can't handle. Now I can't see anything. How do I unistall the software? Can I restart from the disk somehow?

Found the answer...
You can also try booting in Safe mode. Hold down the shift key after the restart chime and continue to hold it down until you see the apple on a gray background with the spinning gear symbol. Usually, starting in safe mode will revert you to a useable screen resolution. Then go into Display Preferences and select 1280 x 768 again. Hopefully, it will stick after a normal restart.

Nokia E5 keeps blacking out the screen as I use it

i got my new nokia e5 a couple of days ago, and its been working great, only right now every time i press unlock and then go to use it 5 seconds later it will black out the screen. it doesnt go straight to lockout mode but sometimes it wont let me go back to see mode for 5-8 seconds no matter what button i press.
it did it the other night but only for an hour this is persisting.
I now tried to reset to factory defaults but that didnt work either sigh, i geuss its a faulty phone, ill bring it back to the guy, if anyone knows if there is some way to fix it because it is a looong way for me back to the shop

If you're going to take it back to the shop, it may be worth doing a hard reset, back up your contacts, calendar and notes, dial *#7370# followed by 12345and the phone will reset to out of the box, but you will have to set it back up and re-install any apps that have dissapeared, if this doesn't resolve it , you will have to return it for repair or replacement !
Good Luck

Black out when screen is moved

My screen blacks out at times when I move the screen tipping forward and back. There is only a few positions where it will stay on. It's a 2008 black macbook running 10.7.5 and 10.6.8 Everything else is fine. Hardware test shows no problems. Any idea what kind of a repair this would be.
Thanks for any repley
Paul

The symptom is classic of a broken inverter cable. The cable routes through the left hinge to the screen and wears out from opening and closing the screen. It's a difficult repair but following the guide at iFixIt if you have the courage and patience you can do it yourself https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Inverter+Cable+Replacement/4772

Full screen video on 2nd monitor blacks out 1st screen

When I play a video full screen on a second monitor, iTunes blacks out the first screen and I can't see the Windows desktop. Is there a way around this?

I'm having this problem as well. Apparnetly the world thinks this is acceptable behavior. I do not. I'm trying to work and feed video from iTunes to an HDTV next to me. Why in the world would I want my 3 other monitors to blank???
Tripply amazing is that it's worked this way for quite a long time. Apple isn't fixing it, so they must think this is a great FEATURE.

A brand new W540 and the Ultra Dock humms, black out external screen, won't recognize mouse and some

Just received a W540 and an Ultra Dock. Here is my first impressions.
During setup ... tried to connect my speakers directly onto the laptop.... HUMMMMM! (really loud humming sound, until Windows loads ...sounds like a short somewhere ...). Ok, obviously sound is not the main focus of W540.
After a little while... boink! ... and the external screen goes black accompanied with the "Windows detected something disconnect"-sound. No matter what I clicked on the keyboard, or how much a moved the mouse, the external screen wouldn't turn on again. I had to flip up the screen on the laptop, and tada, Windows reported that something connected again, and the external screen turned on again. Turns out that I need to keep the laptop screen open at all times now, and now and then both screens disconnect and connect again. Not completely a showstopper, but somewhat annoying. Ok, how to fix - enter "lenovo ultra dock black screen" in Google and see that a bunch of people have experienced the same thing. After some reading, I found this official support page "LENOVO THINKPAD PRO DOCK AND THINKPAD ULTRA DOCK ARE CAUSING DISPLAY ISSUES ON EXTERNAL MONITORS" (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081248). Seems to fit my situation perfectly. Just download the fwdphb03.exe program and follow the instructions. But does fwdphb03.exe even start?!? NO!
Just a brief flicker and no application nor instructions to follow. In addition, I am Administrator on my machine. Please make applications that at least attempt to work....
I have an Aten mouse and keyboard switch (KVM) (CS-1784 to be precise), which have been working seamlessly for years on all other machines I have (VMWare images with different Windows versions, Raspberry Pi and Mac). Connecting the KVM with it's mouse and keyboard renders a working keyboard and a dead mouse (remember - switching to one of the other machines renders working keyboard and mouse instantly).... <rant on>pheeew, starting to get a bad feeling here. OBVIOUSLY we have a lot of cool hardware like USB 3 and DisplayPort and what not, but WHAT DOES THAT MATTER, when the Lenovo folks can't program this stuff properly?</rant off>
The W540 comes with a lot of Lenovo software. Much of it is really good and useful. But what happened when you try to log in to Windows? For some reason Lenovo want to inform you that the Num Lock is on when you see the standard login screen. The message something like "Num Lock is on - your password may be entered incorrectly". All in some black background, covering OVER the login field in Windows !!!! Hey, the laptop has a numeric keyboard, I don't need this message. Luckily others again have experience the same thing. At this page http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/New-T540p-numlock-warning-at-login/td-p/142... I get the tip that I need to rename the tpnumlk.exe to something else. Gone was the stupid message.
My advice to Lenovo - don't include stuff that harvest a lot of complaints and that obviously is going to annoy your customers. Even if the machine was one with a small keyboard and no separate numeric keyboard, I would NEVER EVER want to have some ugly black box covering over the standard login field… I can’t even imagine that the developer of this tool, use it (nor like it)! That is exactly why bloatware gets its reputation.
I would of course understand all this if I were talking about cheap machines and some wacko docking station. But I am not.... This is state-of-the-art, 2014, expensive-style laptop from the same manufacturer.
PS! At the end of this session, Lenovo tells me that there is a problem with the powersystem, and that it want to reduce power to sustainable levels....

can you connect the device in _*recovery mode*_ ?

How can I get my iMac to not go to sleep, but also black out the screen?

I want to leave my iMac on during the night, however when I sleep the display it ends up (after a couple of hours) completely going to sleep and an AppleScript won't work. Is there a way to make the screen go black but keep the computer on?
I've got energy savers preferences to never sleep the computer and never put the hard drives to sleep, and when I press control + option + eject I sleep the screen, but AppleScript's won't work...

You can just set a hot corner to black the screen and it won't go to sleep.
Ensure the sleep slider is at never.
Go to System Preferences, and click "Exposé & Spaces"
Go to the "Exposé" Tab, you will see "Active Screen Corners"
Change one to "Sleep Display" So when you put your cursor to the corner and leave it there (don't touch it or it will come back to a normal screen) it will be black but won't sleep!
This is what I have set on my iMac, hope it helps! It's my first answer post

Voice Contrl blacks out the screen

Hi, I bought iphone couple of days ago and noticed that everytime I use voice control (be it for dialing a number or playing a song) my screen goes black with the start of that call or music. It does not come back so easily. I mean I can understand that the phone is working in the background but I don't get any display. Sometimes it gets so frustrating that I powered my phone off and then back on three four times just to see the display.
It is really very annoying. Is it really how "voice control" works or there is something wrong in my set.
Please advise:

My Q10 Screen blacks out & touch screen does not respond randomly

Hi Gang. Hoping someone can help... I've got a Q10 (only accessory is a screen scratch film) and recently the problem with the screen randomly going black has untenably increased after updating to the new OS.
Key facts: T
he ONLY two ways the screen will come back is:
A: I restart by either removing the battery or pressing the power&mute button for 8 secs (and currently its now going black as soon as the hub initialises) OR
B: It <always> comes back when I plug in the USB cable connected to either power or pc and this seems to job it back to normality for a hour or so.
The phone is still operating when this may happen: for one example in the middle of a phone call (usually when i activate speaker phone) the screen will go black whilst still talking fine… but if i try and end the call/deactivate the speaker phone/do anything I hear the error beeps when i inevitably start mashing the whole keypad - but the screen will not reappear or read <any> finger gestures or singular power button pressing.
Btw. The phone passed all tests on the BBVirtualExpert App.
I have just installed the new OS 10.3.1.1779 (but it was happening before)
Anyone have any ideas? Anything to try or should I repair or get a new one. Thanks in Advance.

I have the exact same problem. Can't find a fix or answers anywhere

How to keep full screen mode from blacking out 2nd screen with dual screens in windows

anyone know how to do this its been driving me crazy for years.

I can't get either Acrobat 9 Pro or Reader X to do this and I tried with several PDFs. Unchecked, nothing advances automatically. Maybe someone else has some insite.

Lenovo H520- screen blacks out while in use

the PC had been working fine until about a month ago- while actively working online, the PC appears to go into a momentary (lasting a few seconds) power save mode by blacking out the screen and a logo appears. The PC will then pull itself out of the black screen and the website that the PC was on just prior to this blackout will reappear.
This is very annoying. We have not adjusted any settings and have updated all the recent software updates, thinking this might be the problem yet the issue continues. We have been using this PC for about a year and are running windows 8.0.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Laburke,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear about the issue, as the computer boots to windows. I suggest you to re-install the Chipset and Video Drivers in the computer, while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error. Below is the link to download the exact drivers for the same:

Do post us back if the issue persists.

How?

Why is my Macbook Pro suddenly and constantly shutting down/crashing on me and giving me a blacked out or blued out screen with lines? Seems like a total system failure is happening?

Macbook Pro- shortly after upgrading to free software upgrade to Mavericks- 10.9.5-
has suddenly been freezing up, but went more directly to 'shutting down,' CRASHING on its own. Most of the time, if I'm even able to successfully get the laptop turned back on, it only stays up/on for a few moments before repeating the failure. The failure is often accompanied with the monitor going 'blank,' or most typically either 'blacking out,' or going blue/green or grey screen with lines or grids all over the monitor. All Desktop visibility, functions or applications in process disappears. This has caused repetetive 'forced shut downs,' which I never usually do, unless prompted to because I have no choice like this.... Or as I said, the computer itself will just shut down and turn off by itself.... Can anyone tell me what this issue is, and I'm pretty sure other Mac users have seen this exact thing I'm describing happening on their laptops, with their systems or on their monitors. Someone please explain or point me in the right direction... as naturally my laptop just went out of warranty as well.... And I don't know if this means the entire system is basically corrupted, dying/dead... and or if it is a monitor issue, a hardware issue, software issue or if there is anything that can be done to restore, repair it, etc.? Also another thing I have noticed ever since getting this laptop- (few years old now...) is that it runs VERY HOT... has in fact burned my lap /skin many times... and seems like the fan or internal operating systems/functions are also perhaps not functioning properly. Can this also be causing the problem? Or is it a corruption or virus of some kind? etc. Thank you.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Mac Mini 2011 screen blacks out during heavy screen activity

I have a Mac Mini 2011 i5 2.3Ghz with Intel HD video. It's connected to a 30" LCD 2560x1600 (Dell WFP3008) via mini-DP to DP cable and a 22" LCD 1920x1080 (Samsung LCD TV) via HDMI to HDMI cable.
For the first few weeks I had it connected to the 30" only and it was fine. Then I hooked up the Samsung as a second display and the problems started.
The problem is that the Dell blacks out briefly, then comes back. It is not "drawing" the screen black, the signal to the Dell gets disrupted momentarily so the monitor has no signal so it goes black. Then it resyncs with the signal and the display is back. This only happens to the Dell, during the disruption, the Samsung image stays put. I know it is a signal disruption because the Dell shows a displayport icon showing that it has just resynced to that input.
The problem happens more frequently when more things are going on; like if I have a window or multiple windows playing video, then the disruption happens more. If I disconnect the Samsung, it happens less. It could even happen if a web browser window taking up a large portion of the 30" screen does a full page update, it will disrupt. If I am running Adobe Lightroom, it seems to happen more also.
When it happens it seems like messages like this appear in the console, although i can't say they are directly correlated:
6/1/12 8:28:46.000 PM kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero
I'm thinking perhaps the mini is running low on memory since the 2560x1600 is pretty high res and then add the 1080p screen and stuff being updated, perhaps it runs out of memory and disrupts the signal while it garbage collects? Pure speculation.
Has anybody else seen this and have any clues on how to resolve it? Thanks.

I should clarify that when I say perhaps the mini is running low on memory, I mean low on shared video memory, since the computer has 16GB installed. I'm not sure how to view or test shared video memory allocation.

Macbook Pro screen blacks out keys stay lit

The gist of it is in the subject
Pretty much without warning, does not have a preference for type of application being ran, the screen will completely black out. If sound is being play it either stops or begins to skip. The keys stay lit. The only way to bring it back is a hard restart.

Screen blacks out after a few seconds and won't return to normal state.

I have the 30 gig ipod photo that i got about a year and a half ago. Whenever I look at the screen to access music or anything, the screen blacks out like there's a screensaver or something and won't return back to normal. Even after I reset it, it stays normal for a few seconds and then blacks out again. The backlighting still works so it's just a bright black screen and I have function of the click wheel because it clicks everytime I move up or down. I already tried restoring it so I am all out of options. Anyone PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks
Steve

This happens rarely but consistently! I't seems to happen about 5% of the time waking from sleep. It MAY be more prone to happen if I had been moving with it in my bag, but it can happen at any waking time after any duration of sleep.

DisplayConfigX blacked out my screen!!!!
