"No signal" on DisplayPort after turning screen off.

I've encountered a strange error with my new monitor / graphics card.
If I leave the computer on the monitor goes idle - and wakes up when i move the mouse / touch the keyboard (as expected).
But if I turn of the monitor by pressing the power button (on the monitor) I can't wake it up again - the monitor reports "DisplayPort: No signal" and then goes idle.
I've tried:
* "hard" rebooting the screen (unplugging the power)
* Switching between different TTYs and X (I know I'm in X and the computer is responding)
* Restarting X (switching to TTY1 -> Ctrl-C and then run startx)
* Unplugging the DP-cable and plug it back in
* Plugin a DVI-cable instead of DP
Any suggestions on what to search for / what could cause this problem?
The monitor is a: ASUS PB278
My graphic card is a: XFX Radeon HD7770

I know this is very old but in case someone else has this same issue as I did the fix was actually rather simple when you realize the problem. DisplayPort has a weird issue regardless of the monitor because some motherboards stop sending the signal when the monitor is turned off due to a "power saver" feature in the monitors.
I have an HP Monitor that had this issue and I found out that Samsung also has something similar when it comes to their monitors. I don't know about ASUS but I think it is safe to assume that it might be an issue with DisplayPort itself rather than the manufacturers.
Here are the solutions I found, this forces the monitor to use the original signal so it doesn't need to be resent to the monitor.
HP:
Monitor Menu -> Source Detection -> Low Power (Power Saver) -> change to "Always Active".
Samsung:
Monitor Menu -> Setup & Reset -> Magic Return -> off
ASUS: (not tested, just a hypothesis)
Monitor Menu -> System Settings -> ECO Mode -> turn off

  • Turn screen off?

    why is there not an option under turn screen off to not automatically turn off? Shouldn't I have the option on my Touchpad for the screen to not turn itself off?
    I use splashtop often to access my desktop so I can watch Netflix and I hate that after 10 minutes of watching the screen shuts off (unless I remember to touch it before the 10 minutes is up).
    Should really be up to the Touchpad owner not HP.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    There is but I have been reading about a lot of people having troubles with their TouchPad if they have preware on it and install HPs Updates when they are available. So I decided to not go the Preware route. I was just hoping that HP would do something about it, but alas I think such a thing will not occur.

    If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
    From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

  • 2630 keeps discharging after turning bluetooth off

    On regular use (i.e. without using bluetooth), I can use my Nokia2630 for several days without recharging. Sometimes I use a bluetooth headset connected for about an hour and then disconnect the headset and turn bluetooth off. The bluetooth indicator disappears, but the battery keeps on discharging and is empty after less than 12 hours.
    If I turn bluetooth off and turn the phone off and back on again, there is no problem.
    Summarized, after turning bluetooth off, the phone keeps using a lot of battery power.
    Is this a techical failure, firmware issue, ...
    Suggestions pleas?

    I think might the bluetooth manager did not shutdown properly. and so judging from that, the battery depleted very fast but the battery indicator might not detect it as quick as it should. It happens all the time. Even my phone does.

  • Is there a way to turn screen off manually?

    Just wondering if there is a way or key to press to turn the display off. I have my imac screen set up to turn off after 10 minutes and would like to keep it that way but there are times when I would like to turn it off right away but keep the computer on of course. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Haunted,
    Did you know you can use the Power Button to sleep your iMac. You need to activate this option in System Preferences > Energy Saver > Options > make sure to select 'Allow Power Button to Sleep Computer'... this is about as close as you can get to sleeping your machine on demand...
    Depending on your Energy Settings, your display and computer will go into sleep mode but will remain 'on', and you can do the usual to wake your iMac...

  • GPS still active after turning it off

    The gps works good, few seconds to fix the location but when I turn it off the gps still runs in background eating the juice... The toggle is turned off but if I check the battery life I always see the gps alive!
    How to solve, except rebboting the phone everytime??
    Topic edited by Rickard

    Usually even if you take the tick out of "GPS Satellites", google apps still can access the gps if you had granted it permission, the best way to completely stop GPS is to go to Settings>Location Services and turn off  "Access to my location" this will completely shut down GPS from everything. Just restart the phone after that and check if that solved your problem

  • Saved texts deleted after turning iMessage off

    All my saved texts were deleted after I turned iMessage off.  Anyone know why and how to get messages back without restoring?

    If I try my app with the DefaultGrayPhone or QwertyDevice, it works ok, the data keeps stored after a turn the mobile off, like the DefaultColorPhone used to work.Looks like you're using WTK - right? When I had problems like you describe, I typically cleaned up appdb folder.
    appdb folder is usually located in WTK installation directory. In some versions it could be placed somewhere in "user documents" directory.
    Typically, I simply removed "DefaultColorPhone" subfolder of appdb. To be on a safer side, you better make a backup copy of this folder prior to its deletion.

  • Data deleted after turning emulator off

    Hi Everybody,
    I developed a MIDP app that (among other things) stores a username and password, so you don't have to type them every time. This code was working fantastic, but I think I had a problem with the emulator. Yesterday morning, the username and pass were stored in the mobile emulator (DefaultColorPhone), no matter if I turned the emulator on and off, they kept stored anyway. Yesterday afternoon, while I was storing the user name and password, the computer went off. And since that moment, the username and password are not stored any longer after I turn the mobile off. If I start and exit the app (withouth turning off the emulator), the data is stored properly, but after I turn it off, the data disapears (store.getNumRecords() returns zero). I believe something got damaged, but I don't know how to fix it. I already deleted de db and create it again, but nothing changed.
    If I try my app with the DefaultGrayPhone or QwertyDevice, it works ok, the data keeps stored after a turn the mobile off, like the DefaultColorPhone used to work.
    Do you have an idea on how to solve this?

  • Can't reboot after turning PC off.

    Hello,
    my mobo is the MSI P45 Neo-F with the original BIOS (1.0?). From the very installation I have had to move the CMOS jumper in order to clear it and be able to boot the PC. After that everything works fine until I turn it off and I have to do this all over again. Has someone the same problem? Does it require a BIOS update or is it a problem with the battery?
    Thank you for your answer

    You may need BIOS update, that can cause your issue too:

  • Iphone hanges after turning it off

    When the iPhone is in recovery mode, the only thing you can do with it is to restore it. Sorry

  • IPhone keeps crashing after turning it off

    Hello!
    I got a question. I just bought my new iPhone 3GS from AT&T couple days ago. It has 3.1.2 firmware. Every time I install some new apps,games, ringtones, wallpapers, or anything, it crashes after I turn it off and then turn it on. After turning it on, it shows a little arrow and iTunes icon, telling me to connect it to the computer. After I plug it in, it tells me that: "itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode", and I have to recover it, and start from nothing again. How can I fix it?
