My HP w2207h monitor fades to black after startup.

When I first turn it on, it's fine, but within a minute the screen fades to black. I'm running Windows 7 on a custom computer. All has been working fine up until now. I plugged in a spare monitor and it works perfectly, so it's not the video card. Any suggestions?

This monitor seems to have a lcd back light to enlighten the display.
Maybe this is damaged.
Can you see anything if you use a torch/flashlight at the display?
Else here are some HP FAQs:

Bad Quality of Fade to black after transcoding

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with Premiere Pro CS3/Encore. I created a sequence in Premiere and send it via "Export to encore" to Encore. It was a DV movie and I chose "PAL High Quality" for the transcoding.
Most of the video is fine but when there is a fade to black or a fade in from black the video is some kind of blurred!
Is there any way how I can solve this problem?
Looking forward to your suggestions!
Cheers,
Madlog

Can you give us details about the source Clips used in CS3?
I assume that you are doing the work in a DV PAL Project. Is this correct?
Have you added the Video Transition>Dip-to-Black, or have you Keyframed Opacity, or similar to create this?
Good luck, and let us know the details - more will be better.

How to stop monitor from going black after no activity for a short time while reading a document?

When I'm reading an e-mail or document without moving my mouse, the screen turns black after only about one minute and then switches to my screen saver. I must move the mouse constantly to keep my active window open. I can't find out how to turn this "Energy Saving Feature" off so I can read long articles without being interrupted every other minute. This has been VERY irritating!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Open windows Control Panel, open Pesonalization, click the Screen saver link in the bottom right and in the following window, adjust the time in the 'Wait' box to a time you want before the screen saver appears and click Apply. Or if you prefer never to get the log-on screen, remove the tick next to 'On resume, display logon screen'. Click Apply to save the change.
Next, open windows Control Panel again and click Power Options, click the Change plan settings link next to your currently selected power plan and in the following window adjust the time using the dropdown box next to 'Turn Off Display' to a more acceptable setting and then click Save Changes.
Note: Set the time in the Power Options menu to be slightly longer than the time you set in the Screensaver Menu or you will never see your screensaver start.

My display starts up with a black screen or fades to black after being on.

So just recently when I would turn my mac on, it starts up with just a black screen. The computer is on just no display. Sometimes it will take multiple times of restarting the computer to get the display to come on. When the display is finally on and working fine I found out that if I touch the top of the iMac near the iSight the screen will then slowly fade to black. And of course, the only fix is to restart. Anyone have a similar problem? Unfortunately I didn't purchase the extended warranty and my computer is one month past the 1 year mark. Thank you.

Restart the computer with the Option, Command, P, and R keys held down, and release them when you hear the second startup chime; this clears a setting which causes it to start up into verbose mode each time.

Scrolling makes screen fade to black

Hi all - ever since I upgraded to Leopard, I'm having a problem with Aperture where my whole library becomes black when I scroll through thumbnails. If I stop scrolling, eventually the pictures reappear. This makes it really hard to use Aperture since I can't really see what I'm doing. It happens fairly consistently, but isn't 100% reproducible. Any ideas?

Your screen can be set to fade to black after a specific amount of time to conserve battery life. You decide for how long you want it to stay on, anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. This will only affect the time between activity on your screen, so if you're swiping and pressing the screen quite a bit it won't go out until you stop accessing the screen then it'll start the countdown to the time you set.
To adjust it, swipe down while on your homescreen and select Settings>Display>Screen Timeout.
I hope that helps you.

Hp hdmi w2207h monitor shut's off in 1 hour

Hello hoppyjag,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues where your HP w2207h monitor keeps shutting down after an hours use. I would suggest you check to see if the computer you have it connected to has power saving options and if it does check to ensure it is not putting your monitor to sleep. As well I would check to ensure that all your cords are correctly plugged in and secured.
If the issue is still persisting it could be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.

After screen replacement, top half of screen starts by looking normal but then fades to black while bottom half stays bright but with images blury. What might went wrong?

A friend recently gave me their old Macbook pro 15 because they broke the screen and the Apple store quoted them $500-600 to fix it. I looked online and bought a screen of ebay for $170 in hopes of fixing it myself. After getting the screen I hooked it up using the steps I found online. Sadly when I turned it on, the top half of the screen was working apparently normally, but then it faded to black. The bottom half stayed bright with color the whole time but the images were always blurred. When I close the screen with it on, then open it after turning the computer on, the top half lights up with my desktop images as if it is working fine but then fades to black. The bottom is still blurred the whole time. What all could be wrong? Display cable, Inverter cable, not registering the screen or something, the screen is bad? I don't now a ton about all this and I have learned most of what I know from online research. I am not sure if I should send the screen back or if there is another issue. I just want to fix this thing.

Unfortunately, you don't even know the lower half of the computer is working properly, because you didn't have it until after it had been abused. So forget the attached screen for the moment. Connect an external monitor to it, fire it up, and see whether you can get a usable image on the external screen. If you can, send the defective "new" screen back for a refund, or replace the LVDS video cable first to make sure that's not where the problem lies, and if it isn't, then resort to sending the screen back. If you can't get a good image on the external, give the junk machine back to your friend and walk away.

Satellite L - LCD monitor flashing black after desktop loads

My LCD monitor has started flashing black at startup. It doesn't do it if I log off and log back in, only on startup. I can log in, the desktop loads and everything looks normal then after about 7 seconds everything goes black, then the taskbar quickly appears then disappears and then the desktop becomes visible again momentarily but goes black again. It repeats this very fast two or three times then starts normally.
Everything seems to be working fine otherwise. I disabled my antivirus so it wouldn't startup but that didn't help. I've done some registry cleaning lately so I restored everything back to well before this started and that didn't help either. I've done a lot of installing and uninstalling of software lately but can't pinpoint anything that might have caused it. This computer is about 2 years old. I have Vista 32 bit, service pack 2.
Anyone ever seen this before or have any ideas what the culprit might be? Really appreciate any advice.

OK, I connected a CRT monitor from another computer and it basically did it too. As the laptop screen was flashing off and on, the CRT screen went black and then came back on when the laptop went back to normal.
I think my graphics card is Intel Display Driver 7.15.10.1502. Does that sound right? I checked for an update through the Device Manager and it said no update is available. The same version is the only one listed at the Toshiba Downloads page. It's included with my Toshiba Application Installer so I'm tempted to uninstall/reinstall, but I'm afraid if it doesn't automatically install at at startup I won't have a monitor. Any advice on this or anything else is appreciated.

My secondary monitor flashes and blacks out after the 10.7 install. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have installed 10.7 and the secondary monitor flashes and blacks out. I downgraded back to 10.6 and the problem went away. I reinstalled 10.7 and the same problem happened again. The monitor blacks in and out especially when the pointer is placed in the dock area, but it still happens all the time. My secondary monitor is a ViewSonic 22 inch that is connected to a DVI to display adapter. Any solutions??
Thanks

Talked to AppleCare and it's most likely the fact that my MacBook has 3.0 USB ports and my non official charging cable can't support that. So yeah, I'll try a new cable, hopefully that's the fix.

Finder built-in slideshow blinks after fade-to-black before starting

When I start a slideshow from Finder, the screen fades to black smoothly, but then when it's black, it blinks back to normal view for few millisecs before starting the slideshow. This makes the fade-to-black totally non-effective.
The effect is the same when changing resolution (the screen blinks on for a while). Anyone else has this?
It's not visually nice at all. How to get rid of it?

This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
You'll need to reset some Preferences.

Lenovo G360 - Screen fades to black

The laptop screen will fade to black while in windows. The laptop is still on but the screen picture is gone. Its not the battery becuase its a new one. The only thing that brings the screen picture back is after I have put the laptop in the refrigerator for 10+mins. What does that mean? Will a cooling pad do the job or is in more internally. Pls Help with some options!

LCD goes blue/black after login; fine in Safe Mode

My mom's mac mini is experiencing a very frustrating problem.
She has an Acer 19 inch LCD. After startup she'll start up Safari or iChat or Mail, etc. and her display will go all blue and then just go black. Sometimes it will flicker back to usable and then go back to blue/black after a few more seconds.
We've been troubleshooting for a few days now and have discovered the following:
- When logging in under Safe Mode, the monitor works just fine.
- Removing all Login Items from her account doesn't help.
- Resetting the PRAM and trashing the plist file doesn't seem to help at all.
- Creating a new user account and logging in under that new test account doesn't help either.
So the bottom line is that Safe Mode works, but Normal mode does not.
Any help/ideas on what to try next?

OK, that helps. So this is a wide Acer 19-inch? 1440 x 900 native? Interesting that in Safe mode it defaults to 1360 x 768.
What I would tell her to try is the following: Boot Safe and then go into Displays preferences and switch the resolution to 1024 x 768. Refresh should be 60Hz. Then restart normally. Often, when you switch resolutions in this way while in Safe mode, during a normal restart, that last selected resolution will persist allowing the screen to come up in 1024 x 768 booted normally. Then, have her go into Display preferences again and see if 1440 x 900 at 60Hz is a selectable option (I assume that is native). If it is, select it. Hopefully things will return to the way they were back when the monitor worked fine.
Since you are remote, it might be worthwhile for you to spend a little time and learn how to screen share remotely over iChat. It's pretty easy to do if you are both running Leopard and it will allow you to control her computer remotely so you can administer to it those times when she needs help. Good luck.

Screen Goes Black During Startup (after login)

Hello,
I have a 2005 Mac Mini PPC OS 10.4.11. This is the first problem I've had since purchasing the computer. This problem popped up out of nowhere. The screen goes black during startup just after I login into my account. I can hear the hard drive spin like it is finishing the startup process. The monitor power button blinks green.
I'm using the digital video cable. I tried switching to the VGA cable but the screen then goes black before the login screen.
The computer will startup in Safe mode.
I've tried Disk Utility (repair disk and repair permissions), Techtool Pro, Drive Genius, ColorSync Utility, Reset Pram, installed latest OS updates, and even re-installed the System twice (once because I removed all the Extension files and then the computer would not startup at all).
I've also tried removing cache files, plist files, startup files, preference files, and some or all of extension files.
The only applications I have recently installed were QuickTime Pro and a .flv movie player; both about a week before this problem started. I tried to uninstall them but could not figure out how.
What is the problem? How can this be fixed?
Thanks.
Richard

Howdy. I have Had the same problem as you in regards to a ViewSonic Monitor and the Mac Mini. This is my post:
Monitor failure when switching resolutions
Using Displays with the Mac mini, Apr 1, 2008, Replies: 2
Running 10.5.2 on Mac Mini G4 1.42 Ghz with ATI Radeon 9200, 32 MB VRAM and ViewSonic VX922
When switching resolutions from 1280x1024 to 800x600 or vice versa, the monitor will cut to black and the power light on the monitor switches from solid green to flashing green. Only by combinations of powering down the mini and starting it up again with the monitor on or off will bring the monitor back to life. This problem makes it difficult to play World of Warcraft amongst other games. Any feedback in regards to this problem would be appreciated.
Thank You!
At this point, I am unable to switch Monitor resolutions. If I do, the monitor goes black, and I have to power everything down and wait a while before I can restart.
I've resigned myself to not switching resolutions, but I'm wondering if you've had any luck.
Thanks for your time!
Kevin
