My 27in LED monitor goes black, pops then comes back on

Brand new 27in LED monitor goes black, popping sound comes from speakers (I think) then comes back on. Plugged into my brand new Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz i7. Unplugged every thing and it still does it. Has most recent firmware. Just started after five days of ownership. Do I need to take it back to the Apple Store?

Had a second-hand TV once (I am cheap -- sue me).  One day the screen went fritzy and the room smelled of ozone.
Ozone is a big clue with regards to electronic equipment.

  • X-Fi Xtreme Audio - Volume goes low, static, then comes back.

    Hi all, I have a problem that just developed with my sound after 3 years of owning this PC. Is this the infamous static problem with the card or something else I can fix? Thanks.
    I was playing a game the other day when the sound 'cut out'. If I turn the volume on my speakers up louder I can sometimes hear what should be playing, it's very quiet and sometimes distorted. There is also a loud hiss and static when the volume is at standard levels whilst the sound is doing this. Sometimes I can't hear anything if I turn it right up even, it's just the static.
    There have been the odd pop, crackle and even strange noise coming from it on occasion over the last few days.
    After a while it just decides to go back to normal and will work for a while and then do the same thing again. Will happen when playing games or even just on the desktop (listening to music to test this)
    I have unplugged my speakers (2 desk speakers with subwoofer) and put headphones in, they are doing exactly the same thing so it is not the speakers.
    I have updated the drivers. No change.
    I'm baffled. Sometimes even restarted the computer doesn't fix it, it just decides to work again.
    It's almost like it's getting inteference or picking up a staticy radio, and then cuts out again, but obviously i know that's not what it's doing.
    Any solutions or am I looking at buying a new sound card here?
    I'm not using two gfx cards, and the mobo is ASUS p5n-e sli. I have an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS gfx card.
    Any other info you need let me know, thanks in advance.
    Oh and I believe it's in PCI. Not PCI-E.

    @Re: X-Fi Xtreme Audio - Volume goes low, static, then comes backu Hi
    Did anyone solve this - I have started getting exactly the same problem today. There is a fairly loud pop and then the sound that normally should be coming form the machine (game or music) is very quiet and distorted. After a short while (a few minutes), it pops again and starts working again. I built this machine a few months ago and this is the first time that I have had this issue. The specs are as follows:
    XFX ATI Radeon HD 5870
    Asus P6X58D Premium Intel X58 Motherboard,
    Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping 2.66Ghz (Nehalem)
    Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-2800C9 (600MHz) Tri-Channel
    Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 2TB HD
    Intel X25-M Mainstream 80GB SSHD
    X-Fi Fatalty FPS
    The X-Fi card is from my old machine and it worked perfectly in that one.
    Many thanks,
    Dave

  • TV Screen goes blank, pixilates, then comes back

    We have 2 sets out of 4 that will pixilate, go blank for 5-10 seconds then come back.  It is very intermittent, may work fine for hours then will do this for several hours.  All cable connections are tight, tv's are new.  Any other ideas?

    Try swapping the connections at the splitter:  The 2 pixilating ones with the 2 that are OK.  See if the problem goes with the switch.  If it does then it's the splitter.  By the way this is strictly a guess.

  • Tried reset, taking off case, no Bluetooth but sound effects keeps appearing in middle of screen. If I turn down volume it goes away but then comes back. Sometimes immediately. Sometimes in 5 minutes. Am not touching anything on side of iPad at the time

    Cannot get sound effects icon to stop coming on.   When I turn down the volume, the icon goes off briefly and then it comes back on at full volume and stays in the middle of the screen, until I click the volume down again.  Doesn't help to reset, the case is not on and it still does this. Most annoying.

    Tried any basic troubleshooting steps?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

  • Emac monitor goes black – slap brings it back to life

    Last couple of days my emac monitor will just shut down and go black, just like an old TV tube packing up used to. It won't return on restart, but did return a couple of times after I took out mains lead from side of computer, let it rest, then tried again. However, today, this solution didn't work, but a tap to the side of the computer did get the screen going. I've read a number of different possible explanations for what might be the problem – everything from battery, to airport card to it's terminally ill, get a new computer, so don't really know what to do. Don't want to go and buy a new computer if all I really needed to do was change the battery. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    That's all good news. You have the later and better USB 2.0 eMac. However, the model is one containing groups of units affected by the logic board issues with bad capacitors. The logic board issues were most commonly associated with these serial number ranges:
    G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
    YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
    VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
    [again, don't post your serial number here]
    If yours is in the list, all you can do is keep an eye on it. Keeping it clean like you've done should help keep internal temps down and that may help longevity. The repair--if the shop can find an unaffected logic board---is nearly as much as a new Mac Mini.
    If your board goes, and you are within driving distance of Salem OR USA, there is a shop that offers a low-cost repair of bad eMac logic boards rather than a replacement; it's much less expensive IF you don't have to ship a 50-pound computer round trip.
    Your particular eMac can take advantage of newer, larger RAM modules that were not available when Apple engaved the specs in stone (Apple says 1GB max RAM). With the proper modules, you can increase RAM to a total of 2GB with two of these:
    1GB PC2700 DDR 333MHz CAS 2.5 184 Pin DIMM
    We have one of the above installed in my wife's USB 2.0 eMac alongside an original 256MB stick for a total of 1.25GB RAM and it's completely stable. However, you should get the RAM from the source I mentioned as they test in Macs. Similar RAM form a retail outlet may be PC-only.

  • CPU goes idle and then comes back..why?

    During stress testing we ran 100 concurrent logons and then logoffs with the first 84 user completing this test run in 20 - 30 seconds. During this time both Portal ap1 and ap2 hit 100% utilization on the servers. After the 20 - 30 seconds the portal aps CPU goes idle and the
    remaining 16 users out of the 100 hit a 120 second delay before there request returns processing the test and completes. During this 120 sec delay I see the aps CPU go idles until the 120 sec time expires.
    What is causing this 120 sec delay?

    Hello Vaibhav,
    sorry I have no answer to your question. I want to know what tool you are using to do the stress test. We go live in one week with our EP for CRM and I really want to know if the performance is enough for 120 Users.
    Regards

  • Strange red/purple/magenta "shadow" that goes away and then comes back

    I'm having some issues with a weird discoloration that happens inside of LR. 
    When the file is loaded, it looks like this:
    Once you touch ANY slider (or do anything really), this happens:
    Note the weird red/purple/magenta area around her mouth and cheek.
    Anyone have any ideas what this is and how to stop it from happening?   I've had some suggestions that it might be a moire caused by the texture of the veil but it seems odd that LR had it right to being with.
    Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks. 

    Don’t worry about colors that happen with Fit or Fill, because, for speed, LR uses a fast, inaccurate resampling algorithm and what you’re seeing is likely moiré.   However, if you still see it at 1:1 then that is a problem.  Try reducing the Detail slider in Sharpening to 0 and see if that makes a difference to 1:1.
    If you want you can upload one of these images to www.dropbox.com <http://www.dropbox.com>  and post a public download link to it, here, then when the issue is answered, remove it from your dropbox so it doesn’t stay available forever.

  • I turn my iMac on and it starts ok but after a minute the monitor goes black

    I turn my iMac on and it starts ok but after a minute the monitor goes black, sometimes it comes back on sometimes it stays off, this has only happened since Apple replaced the hard drive.

    Then, contact the Apple repair station that did the work.

  • My Macbook pro 1,2 monitor and laptop screen goes black once in a while and then comes back on

    Hello all,
         Thank you very much for taking the time to view my issue. This issue just started about a month ago, I have a 22" LCD Monitor that I have been using, when this issue started the monitor would flicker and the screen would go black, but if I turned it off for a bit then turned it back on it would come back on. After a while it just started to go black and not come back on at all, so I decided to disconnect the monitor and use the notebook screen, I thought the monitor itself was broken. The notebook screen was working fine up until the last week, it is now doing the exact same thing, when my computer wakes up from being asleep it sometimes flickers then goes black, I can still faintly see the outline of the programs I have up but it is completely black. Sometimes it is a pain to get back on and I have to force shutdown and turn it back on to get it working. I am not sure what the problem is but I really want to get it fixed.
    My Macbook Pro 1,2 is the first model made, but it was the best model available at the time. It has a Intel Core Duo 2.16GHz chip with 2GB of ram and a 160GB hard drive, it also has an ATI Radeon X1600 video card with 256mb of Vram. If anyone has any suggestions or resources I can use, I would greatly appreciate you sharing them with me.
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Sincerely,
    Saggz.

  • Monitor goes black for a few seconds then recovers

    This has been a great machine. Since 2014, the Monitor keeps going blank for 3/4 seconds then comes back. I have done my driver search and have installed the updated driver software but the problem persists. Please help. Bijou

    Yeah, I'm using the HP2210m monitor to another computer with the same cable.  The end result is the monitor seems to be working okay.
    The other monitor I test to my computer is a different type of monitor and using a different cable.  The end result is the other monitor stays up.
    Basically, here's the situation
    My computer (computer A)
    My HP 2210m monitor (monitor A)
    My DIVX cable (Cable A1), My VGA cable (Cable A2)
    My Nvidia 560ti video card (Video Card A)
    My Windows 7 Platform
    Other computer (computer B)
    Other NEC monitor (monitor B)
    Other VGA cable (Cable B)
    Other integrated video card (Video Card B)
    Other Windows XP Platform
    So here's the set ups:
    1) Computer A + Monitor A + Cable A + Video Card A = Monitor starts blinking
    2) Computer B + Monitor B + Cable B + Video Card B = Everything okay
    3) Computer A + Monitor B + Cable B + Video Card A = Everything okay
    4) Computer B + Monitor A + Cable A + Video Card B = Everything okay
    I will try testing set up 1 (My computer) with Bios and Safe Mode.  I'm not even sure if my computer came with an integrated video card since I had the computer built with another stand alone video card (an ATI) before I switched to an Nvidia.  Just in case you were going to ask, I no longer have the ATI card in the machine and I used Guru Sweeper to completely remove all left over driver information from the ATI.

  • My monitor goes black at different times

    My screen goes black at varies times. Someiimes when I cut my computer on, the screen is black. Then other times it goes black after i have been on for a while. I know something is going bad but what?

    , Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  First question is.  Have you tried the monitor on another system or plugged it into a notebook to see if you have the same issue.  Normally if your monitor goes black when plugged into your computer and it is the problem with the computer.  You will get a no signal message come up on the screen. If at all possible please post back with your full Model and Product number so I can pull the specs on the system and see what options it came with and find out the best way to search out what the problem may be. Here is a link to help you with this. HP Desktop PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? Here is another link that may be of help until you post back. HP and Compaq All-in-One and HP TouchSmart Desktop PCs - Screen is Blank after Starting the Computer Please let me know how things go and post back when you get a chance. Thanks again for the post and have a great day.    

  • Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
    When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
    I hope this helps you my friend!

  • Mini ppc w/ beachball problem and attached monitor going black frequently

    I am seriously considering replacing this mini. I believe as the poster yesterday concluded that the hard drive in this mini is on the verge of quitting. Reference beachball problem everytime any entry is made. I completely reformatted with zero overwrite and slowness was not cured. Drive is only about 30% of capacity. The attached monitor goes black (not to sleep) this will happen while data is being entered periodically many times a day. The monitor behaves perfectly when connected to another mini with same cables. I think there may be a video output problem. This unit is in a high demand area for making appointments, so I think it is time to replace although I don't want to because of software issues. I looked at external firewire comments, but so far I can't find the drives that will support being start up drives and the video out problem is still an issue. I have also thought of bringing my PPC iMac flat screen from home and upgrading at home, but it is 4-5 years old and I don't want to do this again in 6 months. Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks

    Have you run the Apple hardware test on it? Or if you have Applecare, the TechTools Deluxe test? To run the Apple hardware test, insert the first OS X disc that came with the system, which should say 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label. Reboot, holding the option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, click the arrow pointing to the right, and follow directions. Does it identify any issues?
    If you click the blue Apple, and about this mac, does the memory show what it should be? If there were a memory issue with the RAM strip, where you were only getting reduced memory, that could contribute to the issues you're seeing.
    A number of people with slowing systems, with frequent beach balls, have used OnyX to clean up their system, which has made a performance difference. You can get it from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html . Run the activities on the maintenance and cleaning tabs, which may require a reboot. Does that help?
    One other thought, which is a stretch ... did you upgrade to 10.4.11 through the software update function or by installing the combo update? If by software update, you might want to download the combo version, and install it after you use OnyX. Repair permissions, install it, and repair permissions again, using Disk Utility. It's located at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
