IBooks screen goes dark while reading

When reading in iBooks or Kindle, screen goes dark after 1/2 page or so. Any ideas?

Hello there, tiamark.
The following page from the iPad User's Guide refers to the Auto-lock feature. You may want to increase the auto-lock time frame, in order for the iPad not to shut down while you are reading your books:

Set the auto-lock time. Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Curve screen goes dark while navigating

While using Verizon Navigator, Curve 8330 screen goes dark unless I continue to hit the rollerball every few seconds. The security option allows for a 2-minute window but, at times, I will need hours of screen light. How do I correct this?

I'm sorry to hear you're having some problems with your device and the new software. Software updates are designed to enhance features and function overall, we don't want this to take away from it. Not to worry, we can help fix this. All you have to do is go to Settings>Display>Screen timeout>change to desired setting.

Iphone4 screen goes dark while I'm using voicemail

or calling...I suppose it's to save battery but I looked at settings and didn't find anything to adjust it - For instance, I want to place a call to my voicemail on home land line, I do so and then hit the speaker to hear it without holding the phone, the voicemail needs to have some numbers put in but about half way thru the screen goes black - the voice is going on about needing to punch in 1 1 # and I'd do that if I could see the screen= but it's black = if I punch around it comes on again but that defeats the purpose of having the keypad nonhidden = and i end up punching the wrong number anyway [hitting 5 to get the screen back on because I can't see the numbers of course]

My new Macbook Air (Core i5 - mid 2011) Build 11A2063 doesn't have the same problem where the screen goes black while working, but I DO have the major issue of it not waking properly after sleep.
Mainly with the lid open on battery after leaving it for 20 mins, I come back and the thing won't wake. It just sits on a black screen. I'll have to either shut the computer down by holding the power button or close the lid and wait 5 to 10 seconds and then open it back up and THEN the login screen will come on.
I think this is a hardware issue. How would we report this?
And does anyone else have this problem?

Screen goes dark while typing password.

Since recent Samsung upgrade, screen goes dark so quickly that it's difficult to get the password entered in time to unlock phone. Any ideas?

Ibook screen goes dark

Hi,
I can get it to be normal when I turn it on again, or sometimes by closing and opening it again, but it only stays bright for a minute or so. Help!! I've tried taking out the battery, waiting and restarting again.

The cause of this kind of issue is generally associated with
the hardware, to include circuits and/or wires to the display
that run through the hinge area; so if the computer is set up
to share an external display (mirror) you could tell if the wires
to the attached internal display are a source of the problem
by having a second display running off the video port.
The computer originally shipped with a VGA mini adapter, so
if you still have that and a VGA display, you could test the
video card output, since the external display port would still
work if the wires through the hinged section of your iBook
are failing. However, there are other circuits which could be
responsible for the display's winking out.
Depending on which iBook G4 model you have, you could
look into an iFixit manual online to get ideas on the parts,
by name, which could be responsible for this issue. Most
of them are not necessarily something a casual user would
go into and repair; yet with attention to detail plus some
skills, there are some repairs one could do at home.
• iBook Repair - iFixit:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Browse/iBook
Some of the display issues, if not related to wires to/from it,
may be more involved; so hopefully the hardware repair is
only limited to these kinds of causes. Another cause known
to be behind a failing display, related to a graphic processor
chip with weak solder joints, flexing on the logic board.
The cables are a possibility; such as the inverter and also
there is a switching assembly which makes the display
sleep when the lid is closed; sometimes, that fails.
You may be able to further troubleshoot this kind of issue to
see what is affected, and narrow the problem to a more likely
cause. That may help in determining the costs to fix it, too.
A few experienced iBook repairers visit these forums and
may be able to offer some better detailed ideas on this matter.
Good luck & happy computing!

Screen goes dark too quickly while on call

Hi- I am just learning to use my new iphone 4, already did software update. When i am on a call, the screen goes dark within a few seconds so that i cant easily get back to the keyboard, the screen that allows me to go on speakerphone etc. Is this normal? I adjusted the auto-lock in settings but i couldnt find any adjustment for the screen going to sleep while on the phone. Also, is there any way to adjust the number of rings before the call goes to voicemail? Thanks.

hey mehode,
correct me if im wrong..
laptop at maximum brightness or even if brightness level is set at half .. the backlight is off. ? And if you close the lid the backlight will suddenly switch on ?
curious to know as this had happen before you installed that BIOS 7FETC7WW 2.27-1.08 , when did it start to happen ? was any new software installed before it started to happen ?

MacBook Air Boots to OS, then screen goes dark.

I have recently been working on an older style (A1304) MacBook Air with the 128GB SSD. I've been working on Mac's for years, and have worked on hundreds, but this is the first time I've ever come across this particular issue.
Liquid damaged MacBook Air. Keyboard and Trackpad mainly took the brunt of the spill. Popped off the keys, cleaned it all up. Button for the trackpad no longer works, but everything else does. Entire computer was disassembled, no other liquid was found.
MacBook Air boots up normally, and I was using it for a few hours to make sure everything was working fine. Left it to charge. Came back two hours later, and the screen was dark (but the image was still visible, as if the backlight was not on). Could see the mouse pointer moving, but backlight won't come back on. Turned off computer, turned it back on. Backlight works just fine, and it boots to the OS. Within 10 seconds of booting to OS, the screen goes dark (screen goes completely black with no image). Couple seconds later, light on the front starts to "breathe" indicating it's sleeping. Wake it back up, and image appears on the screen, but no backlight. Then it "goes to sleep" again.
Boot computer to a Flash Drive with Snow Leopard Installer and once the blue screen comes on as if the installer is just about to pop up, it "goes to sleep" immediaetly. Though, the backlight and computer will stay on in the Apple Hardware Test for as long as I want. (ran it several times, "no trouble found". Also reset the PRAM, nothing helps.
I was wondering if anyone has ever come across this. Completely baffled on whether it's a software or hardware (or combination of the both) issue I'm having.

The keyboard and trackpad reside on top of the motherboard and all the components of the computer. The keyboard and trackpad are not liquid proof. It is VERY likely that the liquid made its way to the motherboard and has affected those components. If EVER there is liquid spilled on a computer, the last thing you want to do is A. Turn it on to make sure it is working.. and B. Plug it in and charge it. Do the EXACT opposite. Unplug and turn off all power, and, if possible, remove the battery from it. The liquid itself doesnt do the damage...the damage is done when the liquid comes in contact with the circuits and shorts out the contacts and components. You could try to connect to an external monitor, if you have the means to do so, to see if it makes a difference, but it probably will not. I seems that the motherboard is not functioning correctly.

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

700P Sprint Update 1.10 - Screen goes dark after sync

I updated my Sprint 700P yesterday to V1.10 Palm software. All seemed to go well with the update, until I tried to restore my data with a HotSync.
The sync seems to go normally, but at the end, it says a "reset is necessary"...after the reset, the screen goes dark right after the Palm logo appears. The phone seems to be still working.....just no visible screen.
I spent hours on this yesterday....now have no working phone.....very frustrated.

Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Yes
i just replaced my 700p due to this issue and return home to find that nothing has been resolved.
It turns out that the update is rather seriously flawed. There is no way to revert the update so, Verizon (after checking with Palm) replaced my Treo and suggested that I not run the update again.
Now the sync issue that you describe.
There appears to be files associated with your treo on the Palm software on your desktop that are set for installation. This was due to the update i believe. These files: specifically those associated with AudibleAir.pdb are creating havoc during the sync.
The Work-around that Palm suggested to me which appears to work (on the new phone with the original ROM) is as follows:
1) Hard Reset the Treo
2) Re-sync the treo
!> When it asks you to choose the correct id, DO NOT DO SO!!!
3) Create a new ID for the treo and continue the sync.
This way these bad files are no longer set for installation because you are not using the same account as when you ran the update utility.
I would be interested to know if this works with a Treo 700p with the new ROMs installed.
My method requires the old ROMS and Palm in its infinite wisdom has not created any means of rolling back to the old ones. Thus a catastrophic update.

6288 - screen goes dark after 15 seconds

Hi
Have just purchased a 6288. Screen goes dark after 10 - 15 seconds if you don't touch the keypad - very annoying if reading a message. Have turned Power saver and sleep mode off, but screen still goes dark. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
Thanks

Yes it is quite annoying. The screen saver time out does little to remedy this. A way around it that I use is to reassign the navikeys. you can dictate what each button does :go to menu > settings > my shortcuts > navigation key. my up goes to contacts, left goes to new message, right goes to music player and down does nothing. so every time the screen goes black, I just hit the down key to turn it back on.

Screen Goes Dark During iPhone Sync

This sounds strange and I can't seem to find a logical explanation for this. I noticed that I went I plug my iPhone via USB for iTunes to automatically synch, within seconds the screen goes dark. What I have been doing lately is to rest the phone on top of the MacBook Pro, just left of the trackpad. I have also noticed that if I just place the iPhone elsewhere, rather than laying directly on the MacBook Pro, the problem doesn't happen.

That's where the magnetic sensor for the lid is located. It causes the computer to think that it is closed! Now, an iPhone doesn't have a magnet, except in the speaker, so maybe that's what happens. Our your case has a magnet.
I hope this answers your question.

Computer screen goes dark (stops)after latest update.

After my latest update,computer crashes,screen goes dark,using wireless mouse;difficult to restart.
Is it 6.3 or the mouse?

First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
Then, download the 10.6.3 Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
You can install it right over what you already have.
