Monitor stays on for only one second

I have an hp pavilion f1503 and suddenly the monitor is staying on for one second and goes blank.  If I turn the power to the monitor off and then on again it will stay on for one second and go blank again.  I can click and operate it in one second increments  but that's it.  Any suggestions? Thanks.

yep -same thing here - comes on normal, after one second, goes blank.  No matter the PC hooked to does the same thing.  But here's the twist - the monitor is actually still displaying the images.  If you shine light on it, you can see the screen changes taking place (I hooked mine to my sony laptop - hear that HP?  Sony) and i could Juuuuust see the images on rthe HP monitor.  That doesnt help me of course - the monitor is only 3 years old and has had very light use.  I should also mention that the tower (pavillion a1000) also just died.  Cant recover it.  Gonna try wiping the hard drive and reinstall the operating system for the third time but if that does not do it, you can look for the parts on e-bay.  What a great investment.
For the record, any HP product that I have ever owned has performed poorly, has been loaded with bugs from all their superfluous software, lasted a fraction of the time it reasonably should, and their support is god awful.  Hence the Sony Vaio I bought just the other day.

  • DVR records series for only one second

    I am new to fios. I have several series scheduled to record but when I go to watch, I find that only one second has been recorded. Anyone have an idea as to what's going on? Thanks.

    Sorry to hear about the recording troubles you are having. There are a few things that would need to be checked
    1) tune to the channel you are trying to record to make sure you are subscribed to it
    2) try watching one of the shows live that you are recording to see if there's a problem with its feed
    3) perform the auto correct by pressing menu, then go to CUSTOMER SUPPORT, then IN HOME AGENT, then SET TOP BOX AUTO CORRECTION. Please let us know if further assistance is required.
    If additional assistance is required please reply back so we can get more information from you.

  • I want to use my Apple watch to time my patients' vital signs. The face only stays displayed for about 7 seconds. Can I change that?

    I want to use my Apple watch to time my patients' vital signs. The watch face only stays displayed for about 7 seconds, which won't work. Can I change that?

    Linda
    I am glad that bbqdevil's *workaround* will "do the trick"
    Did you give the Timer idea a try yet? It seems to me that you are really needing to know when a certain amount of time has elapsed rather than *time how long you have being taking a reading*. Will you always have your hand free to tap the Watch? If so, why would you need the StopWatch going? - just look again at the sweep second hand on the clock.
    It still remains that one should be able to set the time elapsed before sleep on a Chronograph w/ sweep second WatchFace though. I have searched and searched, to no avail.
    I would suggest Siri, but it seems like many issues with Siri are ongoing and might just add another problem to the mix.
    If I were you, I would Call Apple Support. It is sometimes tricky to get that option in the "breadcrumb" process Apple has instituted, but I was able to test the process before suggesting this:
    Click/Tap > https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
    Choose Apple Watch
    Choose "Setup & Usage..."
    Choose "The topic is not listed"
    Enter "set sleep duration" > [Continue]
    (I know this in not exactly right, but the point is to be vague)
    Pick your poison - I would ONLY choose to talk with them on the phone
    Rehearse an "elevator pitch" statement* for the Specialist that you get AND when you get no satisfaction (likely) ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR
    I have NEVER gotten an answer from a Level 1 Specialist - they are reading from a Knowledge Base not unlike all the resources available to us online
    I have ALWAYS gotten satisfaction from a Senior Specialist (sometimes pretty high up the chain - but always)
    Here's a sample "elevator pitch" that I actually sent as Feedback on the Apple Watch User Guide page
    I need to change the duration 'before' the Watch goes to sleep while observing the Chronograph Watch Face.
    I am a healthcare provider. I need to use my Watch to assist me in taking vital signs. On a normal watch, I would start counting pulses or respirations at a 15 second interval on the Analog Chronograph sweep second hand > stop counting at the next 15 sec. interval > multiply X 4 to get rate/minute.
    The Watch goes to sleep after SEVEN (7) seconds !! Therefore I cannot see when 15 seconds has elapsed.  I use both hands regularly in the procedure, so touching the Watch is not an option - or 'raise the Watch' to my viewing position.
    I, and others in the ASC forum have searched for a Setting for the before sleep duration in vain.
    Let us know what you decide.

    That is how your ipad is designed to work.
    Maybe try resetting network settings. If all else fails you can do a back up and restore as new to be certain there is no issue with your software.

  • Hitting the space bar the track would only play for about one second. Then it stops.

    I'm new to Soundbooth and have already a serious problem. Hitting the space bar the track would only play for about one second. Then it stops. I don't know what to do. I have the Production Suite CS5. All other applications run well.

    i have the exact problem in my computer lab running macpro on 10.6.8 using CS5... this is happening in every ADOBE CS5 software using sound : soundbooth, AEX, premier pro. this is totaly ridiculous, nothing like that is happening in the other software (finalcut, finalcut xpress, audacity, soundtrack pro all are working fine) ...
    i find the lack of help & replies very weird in this forum...

  • How do I set up an indicator to display for only 1 second?

    How do I set up an indicator to display for only 1 second?
    I am reading keys from a serial device and I turn on an indicator that corresponds to the key pressed
    on the serial device but how do I set this up so that it only stays lit (enabled) for a second or two?
    The indicator is inside of a case statement and turns on OK but I do not want it to stay on for more than
    a second or two. How do I modify this to display for only a second or two?
     (P.S. I am running an old version 8.2 and can only see vis that are 8.2 or older.)
    thanks

    Simplest way to turn the indicator off (false value) after a set time is to use a Sequence structure (flat or stacked).
    Frame 1, set to true,
    Frame 2, Wait ms (wire millisecond value to wait)
    Frame 3, set to false.
    This method, however, prevents the code outside the case structure from running during that wait time.  
    Something more elaborate will allow the external code to run.  What comes to mind is a shift register that holds the indicator name and the time stamp (in milliseconds) when it was turned on, in an array of clusters.  Each iteration of your loop will check this register to see if a certain time has passed (current time stamp minus turn on time).  If so, use a case structure to turn the indicator off and remove the elements from the shift register array (so you don't keep setting the indicator to false).  The array will let you control multiple indicators independently.
    A problem with this option could arise from multiple readings.  Lets say you want to turn it off after 2 seconds, but you read the value again after 1 second (this means the indicator should be on for a total of 3).  The code would still turn it off after the 2 second mark.  Of course this really depends on the time intervals involved with your code.

  • Calendar alert only one second.

    Calendar alert only one second.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Delete the intellisync folder, and go through the setup wizard again.
    Select only calendar, one day prior and past. Set up for one way device to Outlook.
    Set conflict resolution to notify you. If successful. Try the one way device to Outlook sync
    for the full calendar, again with notification to you for conflict, that way you can keep
    unwanted deletes from occurring. If successful. Go to the device setup wizard and
    set up for the normal two way sync for all apps. I do recommend keeping the conflict
    resolution to notify you. It can be very useful in keeping small problems for becoming
    major. The link for deleting the folder is on the bottom of the page:

  • Tacacs authentication fails for one user account for only one switch

    Hi,
    I am having an scenario, where as Tacacs authentication fails for one user account for only one switch.
    The same user account works well for other devices.
    The AAA configs are same on every devices in the network.
    Heres the show tacacs output from the switch where only one user account fails;

    What could be the reason ?
    No errors on ACS server; same rights had been given to the user account.
    Thanks to advise.

    Hi there,
    Does the user get authenticated in the ACS logs?
    reports and activity----> failed attempts
    ro
    reports and activity----->  passed authentications
    That will help narrow it down.

  • Can I show a data label for only one point in a series?

    Forgive a newbie question from an Excel convert, but can I show a value label for only one point in a data series? If yes, how?
    There are a number of graphs where I only want to value of either an extreme value or the ending value to show. Having all the labels in a series makes the chart too busy. This is pretty easy to do in Excel.
    If this can't be done, I guess that adding a text box over those points would work.
    Thanks

    Sure. Here's and example labeling only the MIN and MAX points.
    Column B contains the data charted with the blue line.
    Column C extracts the MIN and MAX values using the formula below. Those two values are charted as a separate series, using the green data point markers, and are labeled with their values. The intervening empty string values appear to have doused the lines connecting the two data points.
    Formula: =IF(OR(B=MAX(B),B=MIN(B)),B,"")

  • Changing DB character set for only one schema

    We are interested in changing the characterset of only one user from Western European to AL32UTF8.
    Could you please verify if the following steps will be correct to do the same.
    1. Run CSScan on the one user
    2. Fix any issues
    3. Export that one user (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)
    4. Create a new database in the AL32UTF8 character set
    5. Import that one user into the new database (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)

    Actually your title is a little incorrect. You are not changing CS for only one schema in existing DB which is not possible. You are trying to migrate a schema to new CS DB. Which is totally doable and your approach is mostly correct.
    Database Character Set Scanner provide user scan mode
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch12scanner.htm#i1006013
    Mostly the issue could be data truncation, especially if you have column defined using char or varchar2 vs nchar and nvarchar2
    because char/varchar is defined in bytes, AL32UTF8 is multi-bytes char set, some character of your old data could saved more than 1 bytes in new DB and can't fit into the column size.
