MBP screen turns off after opening
It happens every now and then that the display light of my MBP late 2011 turns off right after opening it and I only can get it back by hitting F1 and F2. Any ideas??
Thx

Screen turns off after a few minutes and needs to be closed then opened
hi, as the title suggests my powerbook screen turns off after a few minutes before my screensaver is set to come on and when i come back and press a key or move the pad it wont start up so i need to close the powerbook then open it up again for it to activate. its not a huge problem but my programs which connect to the internet seem to lose their connection when i open it up again. is this normal? is there a setting i can change?
thanks
rossIs there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .

hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out
To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

The screen turns black after the book has been closed and is now opened. sometimes it does this, sometimes it does not. If i turn down the screen brightness by using the brightness keys at the top left of the key pad, then the screen will reappear.

Screen does not display when coming out of standby when screen turned off after timing out
my dx7 2185dx laptop, running win8.1x64, just started a problem recently. I run a backup program every night after I go to bed. The backup program puts my laptop to SLEEP when the backup finishes.
My setting for lid closure is to do nothing other than turning off the display, no Hibernate nore Sleep.
If i leave the screen open when I go to bed, the PC starts up the next time OK.
If I had closed the screen, the PC starts up OK the next day, except the screen is blank. No combination of screen display keys turns it on. I know the PC is OK because I can remote into it from another PC.
When the display is blank, I press the power buitton, which I have set to Hibernate the laptop, It comes out of Hibernate mode with the display functioning normally.
I have WIN update set to get and install updates automatically. Windows Update says al is up today after I did a manual check today. I ran a utility that I have that checks all of my drivers. It said all were up to date.I highly recommend that you change your Windows update setting from automatic to download updates available but let me choose to download or install them.
There have been some recent Windows 8.1 updates which caused enough BSOD events for Microsoft to yank them from the Windows Update servers.
Your issue might be resolved by running the system file checker utility at the command prompt. That is certainly worth trying.

Early 2008 MBP screen turns off/on (not NVidia issue)
My MBP is an early 2008 A1260 15" and the screen suddenly turns off and on. Originally I thought it was the NVidia issue but that doesn't seem to be the case because I can hook up an external monitor and get video. I took it apart to check any loose video cables on both the logic board or behind the screen itself and everything seemed intact. I even pushed everything firmly in to make sure the connections were making good contact. The backlight also lights up but without any image so the inverter is not to blame either. Then as I figure it's simply the LCD that has gone bad and i'm using my comp through the external monitor the screen suddenly turns back on and works. Later shuts off and back on. This makes me think it's a faulty cable however everything is connected properly and there were no signs of damage to the video cable.
Any suggestions as to what to check or this could be? I don't want to pay nearly $150 to replace the LCD screen if that's not it. :/Allow me to elaborate the situation...
Taking in to Apple = $350
Purchasing a new display and replacing it myself = $150
New video cable = $30
Taking it to Apple = No.
I can fix computers on my own but I am a bit stuck on this slightly odd situation so I would greatly appreciate any replies to not include the response, "Take it in to Apple."
I appreciate the suggestion but that's not going to happen after I already took it in thinking it was the NVidia issue and there found it was a display problem.
You're right that it seems it's a component that's failing but that's why I am asking, which other components should I check? Any other similar issues? Etc.
Thank you -
Display turns off after opening MacBook
This morning when I opened my Macbook, the screen came on to the password login, but not even three seconds later turned off. I closed it and opened it again and it did the same. I have tried restarting the computer multiple times, but nothing has worked. I was just using my Mac nit even 12 hours before and it was working fine.

Display Turns Off After Opening Computer
I have a very annoying problem of my display turning off and not turning on until I restart my Macbook Pro by holding down the power button.
For example, I will close my computer (power cord not plugged in) and it will go to sleep. If for some reason the computer turns on while it is still closed (this happens when I pick it up/move it around sometimes) and I then open the computer, the display will be on momentarily and then turn off leaving me with a black screen. The only way to turn the display on again is to restart my computer.
Another example: I might close the computer with the power cord in. I will then unplug the computer (still closed) and walk somewhere, then open the computer. The display will be on for a few seconds and then turn off, leaving me again to restart my computer.
The third example is the worst. Sometimes with the power cord still in, sometimes with no power cord, the display will just be blank when I open the computer.
With all of the above occurrences, I know the computer is running because I can see the caps lock key light change when I press it.
Does this make any sense? Please help me, I will be going to college on Tuesday and I would really like to have it so I don't have to restart my computer every time before class.
My display was not always this way, it has just been like this for a few months.Im surfing this kinda of problemes. Its insteresting your computer turn on the screen after restart, but there no much good news for us in here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1478474&tstart=0

MBP Screen Turns Off Randomly - Battery Charge/Plugged In...
Two to three times per day for the last several weeks, my 201 Macbook Pro screen will just turn off. If I am using Spotify, the audio will stutter and I'll be forced to hold down the power button and turn it off and on.
Per instructions on this site, I ran the hardware test which said one RAM slot was faulty, bought a new stick, installed it, ran the test again, no more error messages but the problem persists.
Otherwise the computer runs beautifully, no issues whatsoever. I'm running OSX 10.6.8 with 8 GB of RAM.
When it comes back on I get the following panic report:

I've got the same problem, it seems to came from faulty memory slots, not really from faulty memory sticks.
In my case, I'm using a MacBook PRO 15" Intel I7 2,66 ghz from mid 2010 with two sticks of 4go DDR3.
At first I had error messages like yours with reboots and so on ... After some weeks it gets worst : The MacBook wouldn't reboot, it plays 3 beeps with black screen instead of starting normally.
I thought that it came from the memory sticks and replace the two sticks without any result.
Lets call the two memory slot A and B (A the higher and B the lower).
I tried to start the computer with memory stick in A : OK, some error messages and reboot by day, but starting ok.
I tried to start the computer with memory stick in B : Impossible, 3 beeps and the computer wont start.
I Have repeated this test with 4 different memory sticks, the result is always the same, B is no longer working ...
I'm very disappointed, a computer like this that brakes in two years ... I'll go to my Apple Store next week, if you're intrested I'll give you the diagnostic ... and the price of the repair ... -
Screen turns off after a few minutes of inactivity
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is a DE/X related problem or kernel.
Running KDE 4.2.4 and my monitor would switch off after a while of inactivity. I have disabled DPMS for the monitor and I've ensure that screensavers or power management in KDE is disabled. Where else can I look? I don't like this behavior. (irritating when watching a movie and the screen just powers down)Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .
Cheers,

Yoga display turns off after 1 minute
I'm having an annoying problem with my new Yoga related to the display and have not seen any other posts with a similar complaint so perhaps this is a simple fix that I'm just not able to sort out on my own. My display turns off after 1 minute of inactivity. The only means for changing behavior like this that I am aware of is through the Control Panel Power Options. My settings for "turn off the display" are 10 minutes on battery and Never while plugged in (note screen shot attached). Regardless of my settings, the screen turns off after 1 minute. I've changed the settings to multiple configurations and restarted with no change in behavior. Perhaps there's some other settings area, maybe something specific to Lenovo that I'm not aware of (since this is my first Lenovo laptop). Anyone with similar problems or insight?
This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver). BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time. See http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-us/ace4085a-b0ba-4a98-898d-cd92d9e88e13/window... for some detail.

Hi, I'm trying to shut down the phone in the normal way (the Sleep / Wake button and hold down on the Close tab) turns off the display after a while yet, but the phone turns off completely opens up the phone to come out after the apple logo .. What is the reason I'd appreciate if you help how to fix it ...pleasa help me
Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say. -
My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?
Try a system reset. It's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
