Powerbook hangs on boot if I am plugged into an external monitor

After the latest security update, my PowerBook G4 17"
(Boot ROM Version: 4.6.2f1) hangs when I boot if I am
plugged into an external monitor (Dell 2005FPW); I have
never had this problem before. I can plug the monitor
in AFTER I boot with no problem.

Hi bbcoffey,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the issue with your display not waking occurs in the future, I recommend trying these troubleshooting steps:

Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

  • Will dead battery stop netbook g62 from booting up even when plugged into the mains

    Had the battery warning (last week) 
    did not replace now will not boot up even when plugged into the mains.  Is this likely to stop booting or just a case of more than one thing wrong at the same time. New battery expensive to buy if it is likely to be something else wrong.

    A battery can be so dead it will keep the laptop from powering on fully when the dead cells suck up too much of the power. Will it turn on with "mains" connected but battery removed?

  • Macbook display randomly garbles. Corrects for a while when I plug in an external monitor. What's up?

    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro that has some random display issues. 
    1. The laptop display will put a 1-inch black bar down the screen and shift everything to the right.  It fixes itself for a while when I plug an external monitor into the mini-display port, but then does the black bar thing again.
    2. Screen just totally garbles and I have to do a hard restart. Plugging in the external monitor seems to correct this for a while, too.....
    I went into System Settings and unchecked the box so that it would only use the discrete graphics, and it doesn't help.
    Failing GPU?  Discrete or on-board? I'm guessing failing discrete GPU......
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi.
    PC disks should be FAT32 formatted as they come and if you out the disk into an external drive enclosure be it USB or Firewire, your iMac should be able to mount it and read it.
    If you want to use this "re-convert" hard drive as your "permanent" external drive for your iMac and nothing else, I would advise you to reformat the disk to the GUID format (partition), which is recommended for all Intel Macs, because they read and write to external drives a little differently from their PPC counterparts.
    Here's the link to how to reformat/re-partition a drive to GUID:

  • When I plug in an external monitor, I lose sound

    The speakers don't work on the laptop when I plug in an external monitor.  When I run a check, it says they are working properly.

    Tomandiris, welcome to the forum.
    When requesting help, you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of the them.
    It may be that the laptop is expecting to find external speakers.  Since I am new to laptops, I will check further when I know the model.

  • Has anyone seen the blue flashing screen on MBP running 10.6.8?  It looks like you are plugging in an external monitor and unplugging it over and over.

    So, I have called Apple twice about this issue.  Both times, I was on for almost an hour and could not get an answer.  In fact, the technicians said that they had never seen this issue before.  Here is how it goes.
    It has happened MacBook Pro laptops anywhere from 2010 to now.  I have seen it on new ones with Thunderbolt and ones a generation before.  In the environment I work in, we have many, thousands from ranging from all generations.  This specific issue seems to only be affecting 10.6.8.  When the computer boots, it starts to flash blue as if you just plugged in an external montior, except there is no monitor, and it keeps flashing blue about once every second.  I actually have a video of it on my phone that I can send to show you.
    Now, like I said, this is happening to multiple laptops, all running 10.6.8.  There isn't a particular action that causes it either.  I have seen laptops that have been running for hours just start doing it as well as a completely cold start up do it right at the login screen.  Upgrading to 10.7.x seems to solve the issue.  But you have to understand, the environment I work in has thousands of computers.  Upgrading many of them to Lion just for this is just not practical.  In some cases, there is software that will not function correctly beyond 10.6.8.
    I have scoured though Google searches for hours now looking for a similar issue and a resolution.  The answer I always seem to find is just upgrade.  I can't seem to find a discussion beyond 2011 that talks about it.
    Can someone help me?
    Chad

    By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings.  That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere.  It didn't work.

  • Sporadic mouse when mbp plugged into an *off* monitor

    Hey all, strange glitch I keep noticing on my mbp.
    If I attach a monitor to it and then turn off the screen the mouse with every so often jump around the screen when I try to use it.
    I recall my old PowerBook never did this. I always like to have my monitor plugged in but I don't always use it.
    Anyone else experience this?

    I am not sure that you DO need the MacBook plugged in. At least with the macBookPro and my previous PowerBook, I would often run either a monitor or an overhead projector solely on the battery.
    As the others have already suggested looking at the temperatures, let me add to that. First you can download a widget called iStat nano from the Apple (Dashboard) Downloads page. That will help you monitor temperatures and fan speeds.
    Additionally, start up the Activity Monitor (in Applications>Utilities) and you can check to see if there is any runaway process.
    I find that the fans do run faster when the charger/power supply is running but the fans are well able to cope. It sounds exciting when they get up to 5500rpm but my MacBookPro is not giving me any problems in that (or any other) area.

  • I plugged my macbook pro into an external monitor, then unplugged it later and now it is stuck with black borders on top and bottom and zoomed out like it is still on the monitor. How do I fix it?

    I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.

    Hi aefulcher,
    It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - extremely slow when plugged to an external monitor with Windows 10

    Hi! Like most of you, I was eager to take the step early and try Windows 10 (knowing the risk of running into some problems on the way). Everything works very smoothly, and Win10 is really delightful. The only major problem I've faced is that when I plug an external monitor, every action (launching Firefox for example) takes ages and many apps "doesn't respond". I've downloaded and installed all the drivers for Win10 (included the one for the graphic card). Any idea what is happening or what I could try? Best,François

    Hi. I am suffering the exact same thing. But i think i narrowed down the issue:When i am not using an external monitor - everything works nicely.When I am using an external monitor (and laptop set to "Extend" mode) while laptop screen is open - everything works nicely.When i am using an external monitor (and laptop set to "Extend" mode) while laptop screen is closed - everything becomes extremely slow and laggy.  I wish Lenovo support would provide a solution asap.

  • Imac desktop has no icons when I plug into a different monitor

    The monitor has gone out on my Imac. I need it this weekend so I didn't let the Apple store keep it. However, when I plug another monitor into it, all I get is a desktop with no icons. Can I get this thing running?

    Hi Zacc, and a warm welcome to the Forums!
    Which exact iMac, there are tons & they're all different.
    Sounds like it's in extended Desktop or Spanning mode, all icons, Dock, Menubar are on the other Monitor still.
    A slim possibility would be to try CMD+a and try dragging from the top right of your invisible screen to your visible screen to the right... see if you get at least an HD icon to work from.
    Try holding the Shift key at Bootup if that doesn't work.

  • My screen suddenly went out, yet the computer is still running. It would turn on but the screen would not light up at all. A service guy plugged it into an external monitor and now the screen appears to be working fine. Anyone else have this happen?

    should have typed in here...

    If your computer is  a 2011, you can stop the blue screen by turning off graphic card switching.  Under apple, system preferences, energy, uncheck box.  Temporary fix.  Your logic board may need to be replaced if you are under warranty or have apple care otherwise $1000.00.  May be software or firmware problem but apple has provided no info.  Replacing logic board has corrected problem for some users and not others.  Everything I've mentioned only applies to 2011 MBPs.

  • Windows 8 on boot camp on MacBook Pro retina w/external monitors = screen resolution not correct

    how do i calibrate external monitors resolutions individually in windows 8 (like can be done in OS X) so that my MacBook Pro retina text isn't teeny tiny and my external monitors look normal? Is there a way to set the resolution and text size for each monitor separate from one another in Windows 8? Thanks for the help.

    In Windows 8 use the help menu and search for external display.

  • My MBP Retina gets very confused when I plug in/unplug external monitors. Is this normal?

    I've noticed my MBP Retina is more easily confused than my old MBP when using external monitors.
    The problems occur after unplugging from an external monitor. Unless I actually re-start the computer, the resolution in some apps (e.g. Safari) fails to revert to retina quality. I am often left with the toolbar and windows so far off the laptop screen that it is impossible to reach them and the OS is unusable (have to restart). And just now the machine went into a strange fit where it kept powering on and off the displays every few seconds, apparently unable to decide what mode to be in. Again, I had to restart.
    Is it normal to expect that I would have to restart the machine when moving between external monitor/laptop only combinations?
    All these effects are fairly intermittent (although very frequent) so could be hard to reproduce at the Genius bar.

    *there comes (i was mixing up english and german spelling without noticing )

  • Mid 2010 15" MBP becomes unresponsive with black screen while plugged into external display?

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro, which is 15" and has the 2.66GHZ i7 processor configuration.
    Had it for almost a year: No problems
    Until about a month ago, laptop began becoming slow to boot, crashing. checked the harddisks, were corrupted and it needed a complete re-install of Snow Leopard. Did this and it seems to be ok ALTHOUGH:
    I recently purchased a TEAC LCD TV which i have been using as an external display for my macbook, but have found that while the LCD TV is plugged in and i am using a dual-screen setup my computer and BOTH displays will quite often go black, and macbook will become completely unresponive
    This sometimes happens apparantly randomly, but mostly happens when i have been using the external display for a while (30mins+) and use the "Display all Windows" feature of OSX.
    I am connecting the macbook to the LCD TV with an Apple Mini-DisplayPort to DVD-D adaptor, which is then plugged into a DVD-D to HDMI adaptor
    (As TV has no DVD-D input and i didnt (at the time) want to spend $50 on a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor) Could this multiple line of adaptors be causing a problem? surely it wouldnt cause the macbook to die...
    Can anybody help me? i have looked all over the internet for anyone with a similar problem with no avail.

    UPDATE: This has happened to my macbook again while not plugged into my external monitor and with nothing else plugged in to it expect a USB mouse.
    Here is a status report from when i rebooted about 15 minutes ago (Plugged into TEAC LDC, went to 'show all windows' crashhhh..) dont know if there are any clues in here:

  • How to make Lenovo recognize external monitor as default at boot time?

    Hello,
    I suspect this is a rather simple fundamental Windows operation procedure, but I am going bald - tearing my hair out - trying to get this to work!!  I use Windows XP on a Lenovo 3000 V100, with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver (Intel 945W chipset).  Whenever I plug into an external monitor, I always have to manually switch the display from the laptop to the external monitor.  Here's the sequence of what happens.
    1) connect external monitor & turn on laptop
    2) Lenovo banner appears on the external monitor
    3) Windows banner appears on the external monitor
    4) but then Windows GUI (log-on screen) switches back to laptop monitor.
    5) must use hot keys to toggle the display from laptop to external monitor.
    6) must then reselect resolution settings of the external monitor (none of previously saved settings were recognized!!!)
    I must repeat these steps once I logged of my computer session; and reconnect with the external monitor later.  I would appreciate any help or suggestions.  Thank you.

    I don't have an V100 to check the following but, if you go into BIOS (F1 at boot) there should hopefully be an entry in the Config > Display menu allowing you to select default boot display as VGA rather than intern.

  • MBP Freezes upon display detection when external monitor plugged in

    My new MBP (2.16GHz Core2Duo) will freeze up temporarily when I plug in an external monitor (I use a Compaq MV700). This monitor has served my two previous Powerbooks well, so this seems somewhat anomalous.

    Is it just this display or all displays? You might want to try resetting PRAM and NVRAM…
