HP2509 Stays on for 1 second then goes to sleep

I can repeat this over and over again by turning off and then back on. Or changing video settings from the computer. Anything that I'd normally do to wake it up still works but then it goes back to sleep in one second.
I think this happened a year ago and it had to do with the auto power off settings in the OSD set to like 1 or 2 seconds. I cant remember how i fixed it for the life of me. But the screen wont even stay on long enough to get to the OSD. 
It doesn't matter if the computer is attached or any other video source... or none at all. The symptom is the same regardless.
Is there a factory reset that doesn't require the OSD? I unplugged and held power button for 90 seconds.... nada. PLEASE HELP!!
Thank you. 

Okay - solved my own problem. Here's how in case anyone else runs into this... 
The monitor was set to go to sleep in 3 seconds. Don't know how but it's the second time it fell into that setting. 
That means that you have 3 second window to get to the factory reset through the OSD. It takes a few tries but you just have to learn the sequence "MENU UP UP UP OK UP OK" and do it in 3 seconds. Worked like a charm. 
Hopefully this will help someone... but since I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue, probably not.

    Restart your phone,hold the home button and the off button down till the apple symbol comes up. If that doesnt fix it , you need to do a restore in itunes by connecting to itunes , click on your phones name to the left, then click restore in the center of the screen and restore from backup.

    Try quitting Newsstand completely - double tap home button, delete it from the multitasking shelf - then launch it again.

  • Bought new charger: Says it charging for a second then goes away.

    I just got a new charger for my laptop after my last one broke and I plug it in and it says it is charging for a second then the charging icon goes away like its not working anymore? I have no idea what to do because I am sure the same will happen if I bought another charger.

    Hi MSginobili20,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! Was the original charger doing the same thing as the new one? It could be the battery that is causing the problem. Start with a Hard Reset and if that doesn't work then we will run a hardware test on the battery. For that I will need your operating system and your product number, please.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • Audio plays for a second then goes dead

    It doesn't happen every time, but often, when I move the playhead to part of the file (in waveform editor or in a multitrack project) I only get a second or two of audio.
    The playhead continues to move, but I don't get any further audio and the meters don't show anything either.
    I have 10.4.3. Dual 800 Quicksilver (the first Quicksilver). I'm listening to the audio through the digital audio port (not an optical port - the powered port that they used for those Harmon Kardon speakers. It's not even actually digital, they just call it that for some reason). Speakers are plugged directly into the computer with this breakout cable: http://www.griffintechnology.com/archive/audio/prospeaker.html I don't think that is my problem, but thought I would provide the information just in case (the meters in Soundtrack go dead as well, which indicates to me that this is a software issue of some sort)

    I am having the same issue. I've tried connecting a variety of speakers including headphones to the Airport Express 802.11n with all the latest and greatest firmware updates. Same result with all. I've tried switching back and forth from Computer to Airport Exress and even Multiple Speakers. Computer output is fine even with Multiple Speakers. Nothing but a blip via Airport Express. My old Airport Express 802.11b/g worked fine in this exact configuration before it died. This replacement Airport Express 802.11n isn't showing me the love.

  • Every time my IMAC is unused for a period, then goes to sleep mode, it loses it's wireless connection and when I wake it up, it DOES NOT automatically reconnect. I have to go to systme preferences network and request that it reconnect.

    My iMac is set up wireless.  Everytime it's allowed to go in sleep mode, it loses wireless connectivity.  Then, when I wake it up,  I must go to System preferences,  Network,  and request it to reconnect to my home wireless network.   It always does this successfully, but it's quite annoying that it seems unable to achieve this on it's own.  My iPad 2 and kindle can do this,  why not my iMac?

    This appears to be a known issue, there are a couple of things both of you should do, first file a bug report in www.apple.com/feedback.
    The next thing is more a work around than a fix. Instead of putting your computer to sleep just put the display to sleep. You will find this in System Preferences - Energy Saver. Set the computer sleep to Never and then set the display sleep to what ever time you prefer.
