HP w17e Monitor dims out

I have a HP w17e monitor. When I turn on the monitor it works fine, then after a couple of seconds (about 5-10) it dims out. I can still see the display but it's so dim that it can't be read. Could that be a sign that the monitor itself is messed up; or could it be easily fixed?

Hi MJ2822,
Welcome to the HP Community! I see that your monitor is having a dimming issue. What do you have the monitor connected to a desktop or a laptop? Is it an HP computer as well? If so can I get your product number? If you are using as an external monitor it could be a power plan issue. What operating system are you using?

Monitor dims and brightens randomly...

Half of my monitor dims and brightens randomly and the automatic brightness is turned off. It started doing it before and I turned off the automatic brightness. Now it's doing it to the entire or screen or sometimes it just does it to only half the screen. How can I fix this or what is wrong?

Sounds like a bad backlight or backlight inverter.
Contact Apple Support or call your Local Apple Service Provider and make arrangements to have it checked out.

HT1338 Left hand side of monitor dims on 2011/intel based iMac-any suggestions?

Left hand side of monitor dims on 2011 /intel based iMac-any suggestions? Called apple support. Restarted-didn't help. Unplugged my second monitor from the thunderbolt port-didn't help. Unplugged center cord in the middle on the back of the monitor-waited 15 seconds, restarted, held down option-command-p-r and this didn't help. Apple support thought that it was most likely a video card/hardware issue, but would like to hear of any other trouble shooting suggestions.

Not a hardware issue, since it shows up in a screenshot. Please boot in safe mode, launch Safari, and test. Same problem?
Some things won't work in safe mode, possibly including wireless networking.
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

G5 HP Monitor blacks out, says No Input Signal

This happens when the computer warms up, goes away after sleep, but always comes back. Problem compounded by the computer telling me my GeForce FX 5200 graphic card status is "No display connected." What stupid thing have I done or not done. Computer's new, a dual 1.8, so I don't know my way around it; not that I'm at all tekkie. Any obvious help come to mind? Thanx.

I get the video back by either turning "Source" on the monitor off and then clicking it back on, or turning the monitor power off and then turning it back on. In either case, I'll usually get another five to eight minutes before the monitor blacks out again. If I repeat the process, the interval between blackouts gets shorter and shorter until I cave in, put the computer to sleep and come back in fifteen or twenty minutes, after which I get a pretty good run again, fifteen to twenty minutes. Because I do a lot of writing, it's a process of mental harrassment having my train of thought broken. I'm developing a flinch in anticipation, which sure don't make for limpid prose.
I've only had the computer for two months, so it has never occurred to me to vacuum it. You really think that might help?
Can't say how grateful I am to you experts for your attention and advice.

Why are my images dimmed out in Time Machine

I have been using TIme Machine with Time Capsule for about a month. I just noticed that when i enter time machine application and I look in Finder, that "all images" and all the other items under Search are dimmed out. Any explanations?
thanks

I have this too, and i'm pretty sure it's not a bug, it's a feature. I think they want you to restore your photos from iPhoto, but I don't know about the others. The only thing I can think of is that TM does this to make sure you know what you're backing up, or maybe it doesn't know where the files are supposed to go if you work from there.

Why would a control have the customize option dimmed out when it is right clicked?

A numeric control in one of the examples has the customize option dimmed out when right clicked. Why would that be? Is there a way to get it into the control editor or saved as a control?

Just to clarify my earlier statement:
While customization was greyed out prior to LabVIEW 8.0 for items in the dialog (=system) palette, even LabVIEW 8.0+ does not allow much customization. For example if I try to customize the "System Numeric" control, the "wrench" is still greyed out and the only thing I can do is resize the control horizontally in the control editor.
This is as expected!
Dialog (system) controls inherit their visual appearance from the OS, and the same control will look different under Windows XP, Windows 2000, or MAC, etc. They adapt to the desktop theme, including fonts, font colors, and other colors, etc.. The attached Image shows the same pair of controls and how they change appearance if I switch the desktop theme between "Windows XP" and "Windows Classic".
Customization would make no sense, because the appearance is determined by the OS, not by you.

HP w17e Monitor-Camera?

I have a HP w17e monitor attached to a Mac-Mini (mid 2007version). Mac Mini is running OSX 10.6.8.
Was a little frustrated Sunday during a web chat (i-Chat) with a relative. I could see him,but he couldn't see me.
Does this monitor have a camera? If so,how would I turn it on?
Thank You,
Hohinva

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion w17e LCD wide-screen monitor. Based on the specs, it doesn't appear this model has a webcam built-in and you will need to purchase a USB webcam to utilize any web chat features.
Please send KUDOs

Monitor says "Out of Range"

G3 Beige tower OS9 Monitor message"out of range"Then goes black.Battery changed.Hoping for a miracle,I use this setup for music,Studio vision Pro.

Hi, George -
The 'out of range' message indicates that the resolution setting being read for the monitor is one the monitor can not handle. This can result from someone fiddling with the monitor resolution settings, or possibly from a damaged prefs file.
Have you tried booting to a CD?
If you're using OS 9 on that machine, try using an OS 9 Install CD as the boot volume. If it boots successfully using that, then try throwing away these two preference files -
Display Preferences (located loose in Preferences in System Folder)
Monitor Preferences (located in a folder by the same name in Preferences in System Folder)
- and then do a restart, zapping the PRAM in the process.
If that works, it should reset the resolution to either 600x480 or 800x600. You can then reset the resolution to what you usually keep it at, followed by a shutdown (the shutdown is necessary to transfer the setting to PRAM).
Occasionally the problem can exist in the monitor - some of those, especially CRT types, can have their own PRAM, and it can get bollixed or retain the wrong info. If your monitor has separate power and video cables, you can try resetting the PRAM in the monitor itself. To do this, power everything down, disconnect the video cable from the Mac. Then turn the monitor on, wait 15 to 20 seconds, then turn it off; wait about 10 seconds, then repeat the cycle, 3 or 4 times. Then reconnect the video cable and boot back up.

Why can't I select "Find"? Something is keeping it dimmed out.

I'd like to search my email for certain content and references. I've done it before using the "Find" entry. But today that's dimmed out and I can't figure out why. Any ideas?

Check Options > Advanced > General and see if the global search is enabled.

Toshiba nb505 dual monitor & line out sound

Hi all, I've gotten a toshiba recently. Everything is working perfectly right out of the box--except the dual monitor setup (w/ a maxent moniter as the secondary).
The maxent works fine w/ other laptops, so that item is not the problem. It has to be the toshiba. When the toshiba starts up, the images like the toshiba logo and very initial windows splash will show up. But then it stops, and the maxent just goes back to its blue screen. In addition, the line out sound will only play right speaker sound (on the maxent and other devices) . . . but w/ headphones it is fine.
Please advise on any suggestions. Drivers are all up-to-date and windows updates are good, so I'm really lost.
This should be basic, so it's pretty disappointing this isn't working. Thank you!
system info:
toshiba nb505-508BL
OS Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 bit

update:
sound line out: Apparently the speaker on that maxent monitor flat out just doesn't work anymore--no matter what input. And I suppose my hearing is such that it may well have been like that for a while, as it's unlikely the toshiba just happened to blow out that speaker these few recent times I hooked it up to the maxent (as there was no such indication, like a pop or the like).
dual monitor: Testing w/ other monitors successfully, this seems to be more a compatibility issue w/ the Maxent itself (though there may be other monitors it won't work w/, too). So I mostly wanted to put this out there still if wide compatibility w/ dual/external monitors is something that others are considering this sys. for, too. . . .
Otherwise, the netbook is working fine, and I have no other complaints--though I found this dual monitor issue rather disappointing (still I feel it's quite possible that a RAM upgrade may resolve this, since others have cited that upgrade as rather essential for getting the most out of this little sys., but I haven't tried that yet).

Video Chat dimmed out

If I select New Chat, the Video Chat option in the Type drop down menu is dimmed out. Everything else is available. I'm using an AIM account and the "Allow AOL's server to relay video chats" box is checked in Preferences. Any advice on how to get the video to work?

Hi,
In the Video Menu open the Connection Doctor.
In the Capabilities does it say anything about Video (red Cross - too slow a network connection)
Also in the Video Menu is the Camera Enable items ticked ?
In the View Menu is Show Video Status ticked ?
What are your Up and down Internet Speeds ?

Portg Z30-A-1E1 - External monitor blacks out randomly

Very annoying problem - every now and then the monitor blacks out for 2 seconds and comes back.
Monitor is powered all the time.
HDMI cable changed twice and does not solve the problem.
Seems like a change of resolution or a reset - can the problem be in the graphic card? Otherwise maybe the HDMI port itself detecting strange stuff?
Please help I'm getting crazy as I work 90% of the time on external monitor.
Thanks

Yes maybe you are right. Still, annoying not being a fluent French speaker to have to deal with them.... and with 90% possibility that they'll say "if you bought in Italy you should talk to them". I'll try.
PS: another ridiculous thing: you buy a product that has a problem, and you need to pay to call the support service? Really not acceptable....

"Deactivating" button in Photoshop CS4 is dimmed out preventing deactivation

I want to deactivate Photoshop CS4 on an Imac. Unfortunately I mistakenly uninstalled instead. Realizing my mistake I reinstalled the Photoshop but now "deactivate" button is dimmed out and so I can't move on to the "deactivate permanently" button which would complete the job. Does anyone know the way round this?

Then this is a well documented error and the steps listed in http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html should resolve your difficulties.
If you continue to face problems with deactivating please contact our support team. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve your issue.
