Monitor is going out on ibook g4

Hello everyone! I was wondering if you could tell me if I can plug in a external monitor to my ibook G4.
The monitor is going out. It will work for a few minutes and then the screen will go all red, all blue, all green, all black and all white. I took it to few repair shops and they want $300 or more for a new one and only a 90 day warranty.
Any and all information is welcome, the more specific the better.
Thanks in advance!

I also have an iBook G4 and I have connected it to an external monitor.
If you bought your computer new, then there should have been an adaptor in the box.
Refer to the following link for more information about the adaptor -

However - I do not know if an external monitor will (or not) exhibit those same problems.

  • How to monitor messages going out of XI? Kindly help!

    Hi Experts,
          I have a XI scenario where my IDOC message is going out from XI to TIBCO. I am using the JMS adapter as the receiver here. Once message is sent from XI we don't know if it really reached TIBCO?
    How do we monitor such messages?
    Basically my requirement is that there should be a email sent to the stakeholder once TIBCO fails to receive the message even though XI has sent. The stakeholder
    here is the business who just need to get an email alert. The objective behind this requirement is that, end to end XI scenario can be monitored and business does not have to check XI and TIBCO separately. They will no exactly where is the problem.
    How to accomplish this? Please provide suggestions.
    Thanks
    Gopal

    Hi Gopal,
    If you have already configured the alert rules then you just need to configure SAP connect and maintain the e-mail address for all the users attached to your alert category. You can go to transaction SU01 and maintain e-mail address for the each user attached to the alert category and the e-mails will automatically be sent if SAP connect is configured.
    Refere the link below for SAP connect configuration.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2b/d925bf4b8a11d1894c0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm
    You will need to set the flag under the RWB for e-mail as well.  You will need to login the RWB for each user and go to Alert Inbox - Personalization. Under the Time-Independent Delivery you will to check the box "Mail" as well.
    Also check Michal's blog on Alert Config:-

  • Monitor Keeps Going Out of Range

    This is a recent problem. I have the Pavilion 23xi Monitor for using my Mac Mini running OSX 10.10. At any random time, the monitor will just decide to shut off. The number of times it shuts off in an hour can vary from none to 10. It also keeps on telling me the signal is out of range, and it tells me to change it to something I can't remember. However, when I go in my settings to change it, it's already set to what it's telling me to set it to. I really need help as this issue is very frustrating. I use an HDMI cable to connect my computer to my monitor.

    The link you provided is the one I had followed.  It did not resolve the issue for me. 
    Windows opens, but after a while the monitor displays the message: The message pops up immediately on reboot.  I can see all of the programs coming up in the background.  I have to keep turning the monitor off and on again in order to the the system come up.
    Startup screens display, but the message opens before the Windows desktop opens: Same as above.
    The message is the only item that displays on the screen:  This is not the issue I am having.
    I cannot figure out why it was working before for about a month and now, all of the sudden I have this problem.  I have a Dell Optiplax GX520 that is about 3 years old.  I am running Windows XP.  I have security updates for Windows scheduled to upload every night at 2:00 AM.  I have had security updates applied and the system rebooted a few times since I got this monitor with no issue.

  • The light in my iBook keeps going out

    Hi
    Everytime I pick my ibook up the light goes out. I can kinda still see that the screen is still on, its like the main light just goes out and i have to cut it off and cut it back on. It just started happening frequently this past week. Anybody know whats wrong or what i could do to fix it?

    It depends on which model iBook you have, and you haven't given us that information.
    First identify which model iBook it is from this Apple Knowledge Base article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88039
    Then go down the list and find the procedure for your particular iBook.
    Good luck.

  • Monitor Not Going To Sleep on Mac Mini Server With Lion

    Summary: I am attempting to configure a Mac Mini Server that runs OS X Lion. This machine was originally shipped with OS X Lion; it is not an upgrade. My current specific problem is that my Viewsonic VX2835wm monitor will not go to sleep when the minutes setting on the Display Sleep setting for Energy Saver has been reached. Instead, the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and is replaced with a blank blue backlit monitor. (Ironcially, the display sleep menu cautions: "Never letting your display go to sleep may shorten its life".) I very much want and need the ability to have my monitor go to sleep so as to save energy and to extend the monitor's life for as long as possible.
    Additional Background: I have had a couple of calls with Mac support and they have been unable to tell me whether this is a "design feature" or a flaw in the Lion OS because they have had no similar reports and they do not have the latest hardare available running Lion Server to test to see if this happens with other monitors. (They also, of course, don't have the VX2835wm monitor.)
    I do, however, know the following:
    (1) My HDMI monitor is connected to my Mac mini via a DVI KWM switch (ATEN CS1784) such that the HDMI output from my Mac is converted to DVI (using the DVI to HDMI converter that came with my Mac Mini) and is then run through the KVM and then converted back to HDMI (using a full pin DVI to HDMI cable). However, I have tested the monitor with a straight HDMI to HDMI cable running directly from the Mac Mini to the monitor and it has not changed anything.
    (2) The Lion operating system correctly recognizes (in Hardware / Displays) the model of my ViewSonic monitor.
    (3) I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) that is connected to the same monitor through the same KVM switch (by way of a BookEndz docking station) which properly shuts down the monitor when there has been no activity for however many minutes are set in the Display Sleep setting under Energy Saver. (Indeed, all I want is the same functionality on my Mac Mini that I have enjoyed for the last two years with this MacBook Pro.)
    (4) When fully connected to the KVM, if I switch from my Mac Mini to my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini display goes to sleep while I am working on my MacBook Pro, when I switch back to the Mac Mini, my monitor backlight will be off (and the power light will be standby yellow rather than the blue on) until I wake my computer up by touching the mouse of keyboard. I wonder if this may mean that the Mac Mini's signalling of the change in status from on to standby is somehow dysfunctional.
    (5) Shutting down the server functions (and other open applications) has no effect.
    I would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone out there running a Mac Mini with Lion regarding whether or not their monitors go into standby mode when the Display Sleep time is reached (please note whether or not you are running the Server or Client version, whether or not it is a new install or upgrade, and what monitor you are using).
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

  • Powerbook backlight - turns on with computer, then goes out

    Hi All,
    I'm having trouble with my Powerbook G4's (DVI, 667MHz) backlight.
    The problem is this: On power-up, the backlight turns on, then goes out, never to come on again.
    I've swapped the inverter and cable, but the problem persists.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello everyone,
    I think I might have the same problem. When I open my Powerbook the backlight will turn on for about a second and then turn off. Nothing seemed to help it, it would just return randomly after restarting, letting it rest for a while, plugging into external monitor. I took it to a genuis bar last year and they couldn't figure it out and wanted to send the hard drive to be reformatted. I couldn't part with it so I kept it with the problems.
    I figured out that when it's plugged into a power supply it is more likely to shut off. But other than that, I have no idea what it is, and at times it is still random. Does the power supply have anything to do with the inverter board? Sorry for my ignorance, I am not tech savvy.
    Any ideas?

  • HP LP2065 Monitor suddenly goes black for a second occasionally

    Hi all, 
    I have an HP LP2065 LCD monitor that I use with my 2 desktops  that dual boot with Windows 7 and Vista . Lately the monitor will suddenly go black for less than a second. This happens randomly and not all the time, and only a few times each day. I have made sure that the driver is up to date on both computers. I have tried to troubleshoot the issue, but, nothing out of the ordinary is found.
    What would cause the monitor to suddenly go black?
    Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello TinkRbelle,
    I understand your monitor is going blank for a second or two at random intervals. As you have two operating systems getting the same issue I think we can rule out software. I would start by unplugging the power from the wall and from the monitor and holding the power button down on the monitor for 30 seconds or so. Plug it back in and see if the issue persists. If it does replace the power cord/adatper.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • My iMac monitor just goes black

    I have a 2009 27inch iMac with an external Samsung monitor.
    Out of the blue, the iMAC MONITOR just goes black. Like it went to sleep or something.
    This has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. (luckily I can restart the computer because the external Samsung still works.
    I restart the computer and the monitor works fine again.
    Help.
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    Screen goes totally black.
    The good news is, I read around and was advised to turn off the computer and unplug it, and plug it back in and start up. That seems to have fixed it. So far, so good.
    Thanks.

  • My video goes out and comes back on frequently

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini and the video goes out (blue screen) with an error that says "Check video cable."  It will then comb back on without doing anything but it can take several seconds or a minute to do so.  This happens randomly not dependent on doing anything on the computer or not.  It seems to happen consistantly maybe every 20 minutes or an hour apart.  This computer is being used as a cash register so this is quite frustrating when you have customers waiting.
    Anyone have any clues?  I swapped out monitors to rule that out and even replaced the VGA cable.  The only thing I did not replace was the video adaptar.
    Is there a way to reset the video with a keyboard sequence on startup or does anyone have any other ideas?
    Thanks you,
    Barb

  • Program monitor keeps going black in Premiere Pro CC

    PC - Premiere Pro CC - AMD Fire Pro (13.101-130604a-158071E-ATI)
    I'm working on a project and the program monitor keeps going black in Premiere Pro CC while I am working on the timeline. I've got like 28 GB of memory alocated to the program and just updated the latest driver for my video card. No clue why this keeps happening, but the only way I can get around it is to restart. When I go to close down the program freezes and I have to shut it down in the system preferences.
    Under a crazy deadline if you can help? Thanks

    here's my story. I'm also having this problem with video appearing in the Program monitor. The only thing I did differently is that yesterday when I was editing, I pulled the Program monitor out of the main Premiere interface and dragged it over to my second desktop monitor. that worked just dandy.
    when I opened Premiere today, and opened an entierly different project, there was no video in the output window (and it was locked back into the main interface). I also can't select clips on the TL. The software locks up, and I have to restart.
    I am able to create a new project and render the countdown leader. I was also able to import the project that wasn't displaying correctly, and have it work just like normal. So I think I'm back in business for now.
    I'm deeply concerned though. I'm doing a webinar about Premiere very soon (with rehearsals tomorrow!). A failure like this looks bad for everybody. Also, I don't relish having to re-import all of my old projects in this way to get the basics working again. Any idea what went wrong? Right now I feel like I'd better never drag the program window to a second monitor to enjoy a larger program monitor while editing.

  • [SOLVED] Monitor sponteanously goes into irrecoverable powersave

    I've been using Arch Linux on a new computer setup for about 4 days, and twice recently my monitor has gone into powersave, and I can't get out. It won't let me restart X or switch to a terminal. If I unplug and plug in my monitor, it goes right into powersave again. I'm using KDEmod and an ATI Radeon x1650 graphics card. To set up my video card, I just installed hwd, ran hwd -xa to generate a xorg.conf, and installed catalyst. 3D Acceleration works fine, and I've had no other problems with my video output. Any Ideas? This problem could be potentially catastrophic.
    Last edited by md5fungi (2008-03-19 04:59:54)

    Well I added flags to my xorg.conf file to prevent Arch from going into hibernate or standby mode and also changed my monitor's "display mode" to "desktop" instead of "gaming" (gaming caused all sorts of weird flickers too) and I have not had this problem since. Will repost if I do.

  • Power adapter light goes out & battery kicks in + random shutdowns

    Hi,
    there's a few weird things going on the last couple of weeks.....i'm wondering if any of them could have to do with the 10.4.9 update that i installed and really screwed up my mac.....it took an hour+ on apple tech support to do the re install because it would not load after i did that update.
    so here's the screwy things that have been happening:
    sometimes the light on the power adapter just goes off and the battery kicks in - i'm wondering why it does that........and sometimes the power light goes off the computer just shuts down at the same time really fast.......like in less than a second.....i'll wait a little bit and start up again and it'll happen again........but sometimes it'll fine for quite a while and then boom.......it shuts down again.
    also, sometimes it's sleeping and when i pop the top the light on the adapter cord goes out.
    also, the sleep light is not on when i am using it but goes on when i put it to sleep
    i contacted apple (no apple care and past the 90 phone support) and they are sending a new power adapter cord.....the guy at tech didn't know if this was a hard drive issue (which means i could send it back and get it fixed for free cuz of warranty) so we're trying a new cord first and see what happens.
    has this happened to anyone? my mac pro is about 5 months old....
    thanks,
    itsmesunny

    Hi,
    actually the cord came today........and the other part - the square white thing with the cord connection to the mac with the magnet...... is coming separately - i found out after calling them and asking them where the rest of it was (he said maybe it was from a different warehouse was why they weren't together).......is that the "magsafe" that you're referring to?
    when that comes i hope that when i hook it up it fixes the problem......i'm using my oldie but goodie ibook now until it's working ok....
    the guy did not ask me to reset the smc.........i guess cuz i don't have apple care or tech support now that's all he was willing to do - send me a free power adapter and see if that works first - he said it was $49 to do anything else but if it was determined to be a hard drive issue then it would be free and refunded to me and i could send it back.
    you know i think it depends on who you talk to......sometimes they help me even if i don't have the tech support.
    so anyway when i get the adapter i'll hook it up and see if it's a go...
    thanks,
    itsmesunny
    PS apple is quick - both times i've sent stuff to them i have gotten it back almost immediately. i talked to the guy yesterday and it was here today....can't beat that!

  • Need to find out the traffic coming into and going out of ALSB

    Hello,
    I would like to know if there is a way to find out the traffic coming into and going out of ALSB (Number of Messages). Please let me know if i am not clear.
    Thanks,
    Varun

    I would like to know if there is a way to find out the traffic coming into and going out of ALSB (Number of Messages). Please let me know if i am not clear.There are two points. If you want to get aggregate traffic for all end-points in OSB, then out of box is not possible.It can be arrived at using monitoring capabilities.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/operations/monitoring.html
    If you are looking at the traffic at end-point level, then it is available when monitoring is enabled.
