N97 camera screen goes and stays black after 10 mi...

Since a month im the owner of an N97. Cost a lot of money. From the start the camera-screen goes black within ten minutes after booting. And it stays black, so the camera functionality is completely gone. The primary and the secondary neither work. I did hard resets, firmware upgrades, soft resets and i brought it to a Nokia service center twice. The second time they returned it after 2 1/2 weeks (today) but the problem is still there. Now I just wished i bought an iPhone instead, and its driving me mad...What to do? Like I said, I already went to the Nokia service centre twice... and did all the firmware upgrades.

Almost the same here, with an N97, I found that I have to close the "so called" lens protector after the "processing image" disappear, and or close it when not processing anything, also I have to close it before it goes to stand by and that way the camera will work fine.
Also don't open and close and open the "lens protector".
In my case with a turn off and then on the camera comes to live again, is a pain, but not as bad as hard reseting all the time.

  • Won't boot to desktop (picture anomally)- monitor goes and stays black

    Folks I've got a strange anomally here. I've got an aroginal G4 dual 500 running Tiger that won't provide any video por picture signal to the connected Apple 22" Cinema Display (the orginal with ADC). The machine boots and shows the grey screen with the Apple logo, then goes black and stays there, and the power light stays on on the monitor. I can still here the hard drive spinning and reading. Before making suggestions read what I've tested below:
    - put 2X AGP ATI Rage 128 Pro from my G4 into other G4s (connected to 17" LCD display) and the video card worked fine.
    - put other video cards in my G4, connected to 22" display, and all worked fine. These cards were slightly more powerful than the stock 2X AGP ATI Rage 128 Pro
    - installed a clean OS on my G4 with no changes, monitor still comes up black.
    - ran disk utilies, did the pram reset, tried the fsck rick in single user mode.
    I am at my witts end.

  • After installing an Adobe Flash update, Firefox opens and stays black screen

    Firefox was working perfectly yesterday. When I booted up this morning, Adobe Flash Player asked to run an update. I did this. Firefox now opens and stays black. I have tried a reset from safe mode and a full reinstall. Neither worked

    Hi There!
    I would suggest you remove windows from your PC and install Ubuntu. This will resolve most of the issues you are facing or it might be great to find a very large hammer, lift it high above your head and SLAM it down on your PC will surly make you feel better and if you video record it and upload to Youtube others will love it too!

  • Monitor on MacBook Pro 17" stays black after it sleeps. Computer does come back on. I've reset the SMC and zapped PRAM but this has happened 2 days in row.

    I always turn on my computer first thing in morning to see if any important e-mail comes through and since it's at least another hour before I get to work, the computer goes to sleep. Well, yesterday, the display wouldn't wake up and stayed black. I called Apple Tech support and the nice guy on the phone walked me through resetting the internal power and zapping the PRAM. I had no problems for the rest of the day. THis morning, the same thing happened after it went to sleep for the first time during the day after having been started up. THis time I knew what to do, but I'm dreading the same thing happening. Any reason why this is and is there anything else I should do?  It's a 2011 MacBook Pro and runs Snow Leopard (10.6.7).

    I am having the similar issue.  I will open my powered up machine, and I will the display will turn on for a few seconds then it seems to go right back to sleep.  I need to close the lid and reopen it again and the display comes back.  Today after it came back on 2 minutes later it happened again.

  • HT201263 Iphone4 screen stays black after configuration

    Iphone4 failed to respond during normal usage. Therefore I turned off the Iphone4 and restarted the device. Unfortunately the screen of the Iphone stayed black after seeing the apple logo.
    As the above didn't resolve the issue, I restarted the Iphone by holding the home and power button. The apple logo appeared again and than the screen stayed black. Although the i-phone is making sounds and you can switch between normal and silend mode.
    Than I rebooted the I-phone by using Itunes, and reinstalled a backup, also the screen stayed black after the backup. Although in the beginning you can see the adapter and I tunes logo on the Iphone screen.
    Than I rebooted by using Itunes and set up as a new device. I can see the following screen:
    After swiping the screens turns black although when I touch the screen I can hear the phone is still working.
    How can I resolve this issue?

    Call of Duty puts a heavy processing load on several internal components that may be causing them to overheat.  I would suggest that you download and install the Free and highly recommended "iStatPro" utility and post the temperature readings that it gives you, around the time that the time that the display goes blank, here in this Forum.  (Play the game for quite a while and then check your temps in iStatPro.)  That may give us the data we need to diagnose your problem.
    You can download it for free here:

  • Brightness keys not working anymore and screen frequently flashing black and staying black!

    I had my macbook pro in for repair twice last month. They replaced the logic board and had to take the screen off and look at it due to there being a potential crack. Now, when i got the macbook back the first time, after replacing the logic board, everything was fine, the brightness keys did not work at first but a restart fixed the problem. 5 days later i had it back in so they could look at the screen because i thought there was a crack on it, which turned out just to be some debris on the inside! Still had to pay a 50 quid inspection charge!
    ever since the macbook has returned from this the brightness keys have had a delayed response in that, when i increase or decrease the brightness it took about 10 seconds for the screen to actually change. This happened everytime.
    A few days ago for no reason, the screen started to occasianally flash black. It wasnt a problem at first, but sometimes it flashes back and stays black so i have to restart my computer. Sometimes when returning from sleep it stays black as well. On top of this, the brightness keys have completely stopped working all together now.
    My laptop is not in warrenty anymore, it ran out after i got it back the second time. I was too busy with work and i needed to use the laptop so i couldnt really sort anything out.
    Is there any policy saying that if the laptop comes back from repair and has new problems not caused by the customer, but by the repairer, then they will fix it free of charge?
    Many thanks

    nobody can help??

  • Screen Goes a Little Grey After a Few Minutes - How to Extend The Time?

    youtube.
    what setting is this and how can I extend or turn off this screen saver option?
    thx -Craig

  • My ipad froze with my camera screen on and my background on full screen?  If I press any button it takes a picture

    my ipad froze with my camera screen on and my background on full screen.  Every button I push on
    it takes a pic.  won't shut off either, it takes a pic instead

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • I need to create buttons in which the color changes, and stays on after you release the button

    I need to create buttons in which the color changes, and stays on after you release the button. The hard part is the buttons must change independently of each other.
    To get an idea of some of things I’ve tried I’ve tried making the movie with two frames.
    When I click the button it switched to the new frame which would show a movie clip,
    Unfortunately all buttons would change color together and don’t see how to make it so that they change independently.

    you must use movieclip buttons and code for their frame changes.

  • Imac G4 15" Screen Stays Black After Screen Saver Goes To Sleep

    I have an imac G4 15" that I just got from a friend that works pretty well, except that after it goes from the screen saver into to sleep mode, the screen stays black. I can hear the error chimes when I try to awaken the screen with the keys, but the screen just stays black. I have tried to increase the brightness, etc. but to no avail. Eventually I have to resort to re-booting and I am afraid that at some point, either the computer won't reboot or one of my external hard drives will crash. Any advice from someone who has experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    THANKS!

  • VLC fullscreen sometimes makes screen stay black after video ends

    like the subject says, sometimes the screen just stays black when a video ends while VLC is in fullscreen mode.
    I'm using VLC 2.0.8.a-1. I got the laptop in April, just in time for Revision 2013, had the problem more or less from the start, so that's since version 2.0.5 or 2.0.6
    So far I haven't found a way to get things back to normal when it happens. I've tried
    press f
    press ESC
    close and reopen lid
    switch to console (screen just stays black, even on consoles)
    Apparently the only thing I can do is pop up a terminal window via shortcut and reboot.
    As far as I can tell /var/log/Xorg.[0,1].log doesn't tell what's going on.
    In case it's important, I've only experienced this on my Thinkpad T430, it never happend on my old ASUS laptop or on my desktop pc. An Intel issue maybe? The other two run on nvidia cards, the T430 does have an nvidia card in addition to the on-chip HD 4000 but I don't use it (I'd love to since the DP port is only usable with the nvidia card, haven't been able to make it work with bumblebee yet but that's a different issue).
    Any ideas? Which log and config files do you need?

  • Gnome: at random times, screen fades to black and stays black

    I'm having a strange issue with my gnome based netbook (Aspire One).
    Sometimes, the screen will fade to black without any user input. It looks like the screen is powering off and preparing to go to screensaver/blank screen mode, but I cannot unlock it.
    Its just the screen, I can go to tty1 (blind), login, and the computer will respond to commands such as shutdown.
    I tried turning off the screensaver in Gnome settings + turning off screen blanking in Gnome Power Management, no luck.
    Checked all logs, didn't find anything suspicious. Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem, at random times the screen goes black, nothing else changes, I could keep with a conversation on skype. Also sometimes the screen flickers, by the way I'm also using Gnome. I have the impression that this started since the last Kernel update and looking at the logs I found the following:
    In the dmseg.log :
    ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x18e0-0x18ff] conflicts with ACPI region SMBI [0x18e0-0x18ef]
    ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver
    I also noticed that if I close the lid of my netbook and open it again the screen appears again. I would like to find a solution to this problem but I'm not very experienced.
    EDIT: I do use an intel card -- 945GME --, and the flickering seems to be from this bug on Intel Cards:
