Qosmio G10: Monitor completely blacked out

Hello!
I have this problem with my Qosmio G10, I turn on the laptop, the fan makes a high noise and finally it logs in Windows. Meanwhile, i cannot see what's happening, because the screen is blacked out. I just hear the sound for the Windows log on.
I tried to connect a normal PC monitor, as well as press Fn + F5, which is the hotkey for switch b/w types of display.
If anyone has or had the same problem and could help me, i would be more than grateful, as this problem is going on for weeks.

Hi
Did you try to boot into a safe mode?
Please check if this possibility is available and if it will solve the display problem.
But if note, so I suggest that there is something wrong with the display or with a part of the display for example: FL inverter.
In this case the best way is to contact the Toshiba service partner because he could make some diagnostic test and he can dive you a proper answer which part is defect.
Bye

Thumbnails are completely blacked out

My thumbnails are completely blacked out (version XI). How can I make them show correctly?

It is happening on my Windows 8 computer at home and my windows 7 computer at work. I have adobe pro and reader XI at work and adobe reader XI at home. The documents I am trying to open are text books. I have contacted my school and they see them fine on their side, but I can't see them on mine so they told me it was a glitch on my side. They even resent me their document that opened correctly and I couldn't see it on my side.

Does anyone know how to stop my monitor from blacking out?

I am getting annoyed that my monitor keeps blacking out on IDLE! Ahh! It does not sleep or power off, I suppose. Just goes black and then comes back alive on a mouse move. This is a desktop.
Here is what I have set off:
Power Management Preferencess in System Menu = Sleep is set to NEVER
in gconf-editor for gnome-power-manager:
ac_dpms_sleep_method: off
ac_sleep_display: 0
dim_on_idle: UNCHECKED
in xorg:

(i was able to disable it in Ubuntu with similar steps, although I only think it 'slept' on that distro. Not blacked out)

Speedgrade's monitor is blacked out/bugged

Hey everyone, I have a peculiar problem when I import footage. It happens both when I pull it off the hard drive and when I send it from Premiere. The monitor window is blacked out, or sometimes there is a faint square of color representing the imported footage at the top left corner, as you can see here. Any suggestions? I've restarted the program multiple times and googled for over an hour looking for a similar problem, and haven't found it.

I also have the exact same problem. The screen looks exactly like Nitro's screenshot and I don't know what is wrong. When I press play the tiny square of video appears to be moving, but it doesn't fill up the entire screen. Also, the monitor icon next to the save icon under the video lights up red, but when I mouse over the video, paused or unpaused, and click, I can see part of the full display, with the tiny square expanded to the entire frame. Only half of the full display is shown, though, and when I move my mouse away from the video, it goes back to the tiny square.
I'm using Windows 7, but my processor is a Core i5. I'm using Speedgrade CS6. As for the exact version, I don't know how to find it. I'm also using a 1280x1024 display monitor. The file imported into Speedgrade is a .wav file.
As for the other system specs, I have AMD, and also 6 gigs of RAM. I think the other specs meet recommendations. I hope I will still be able to use Speedgrade, even though I have an i5 processor.Thanks.

Monitor flickering blacks out jolting MacBook Air and LG Monitor IPS277l

Hello everyone. Using MacBook Air and LG IPS277L and have had no issues up until today. All of the sudden my monitor goes blurry and shuts off. I dont see the little mirror box thingy available at the top of my desktop either. It's like the Macbook isn't sending a powerful enough signal to the monitor or something.
The monitor works fine with 2 other laptops. Tried display settings no luck. No updates from LG for Mac available at this time. Any suggestions?
Thanks....

Howdy iMWorks,
It sounds like the issue you are experiencing is only happening on your external monitor, but the video works fine on your internal display. I have a couple of thoughts as to what could be causing the issue here. First, use these troubleshooting steps to help troubleshoot the hardware, and PRAM:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
If the issue persists, I would use the following article to troubleshoot the Safari application on the computer:
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

When i go to update the flash player, i click after save to install flash player download, the box that pops up is completely blacked out?

please help, i cant update the flash player.

Hi Rosa,
Please try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section. There will be three (3) installers. Since you're on Windows 8.x, ignore the installer for ActiveX Control, as Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x systems. You'll want to download the 'Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI' installer file. If you also use Opera browser you'll want to download the 'Flash Player for Opera - PPAPI' installer file.

Full screen video on 2nd monitor blacks out 1st screen

When I play a video full screen on a second monitor, iTunes blacks out the first screen and I can't see the Windows desktop. Is there a way around this?

I'm having this problem as well. Apparnetly the world thinks this is acceptable behavior. I do not. I'm trying to work and feed video from iTunes to an HDTV next to me. Why in the world would I want my 3 other monitors to blank???
Tripply amazing is that it's worked this way for quite a long time. Apple isn't fixing it, so they must think this is a great FEATURE.

Monitor blacking out and flickering MacPro1,1

MacPro1,1 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, running Lion 10.7.5
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 MB
For a couple of months now, my monitor periodically blacks out for a second and/or flickers. Sometimes it gets really bad and I just have to shut down.
There was some dust buildup inside machine; it has been cleaned, still having problem; have tried reseating video/graphics card.
I have run Apple Hardware Extensive Testing and it shows there are no problems; have checked and made sure monitor cord is securely connected.
Have monitored Temperatures and they all appear to be fine.
I CANNOT FIGURE THIS ONE OUT! IS THE VIDEO/GRAPHICS CARD ... MONITOR GOING BAD ... I AM AT A LOSS, AND IT IS REALLY IRRITATING.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP AND GIVE SOME INSIGHT?
THANKS SO MUCH!

Most graphics card that old have died of overheating a while ago.
RE: Mac Pro silver tower (2006-2012) Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5. (This card has just been discontinued and is no longer available from Apple dealers. There may be some new, old stock still available at resellers)
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000 Fermi, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro K5000 Kepler, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".
One more thing--
Flashed PC cards: There are a good many EFI flashed cards that offer boot screens and behave like official cards. "for more information about using and flashing non-Apple cards, please check out the various sites like Netkas (and others) that focus on and discuss what is known and available.

H515 Desktop Monitor Power cuts out

Help Please. I have an H515 desktop. After a period of inactivity the power will go off to my monitor. The CPU is still on but I can't get the monitor on. All my power settings are set to never turn off the display. I am running Windows 8.1. I've tried multiple monitors and I've changed out the monitor cables. No luck
Any thoughts?

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
Have you tried booting the computer into Windows Safe Mode to see if the inactivity causes the monitor to black out ? I'm not sure if Safe Mode will totally by-pass Windows Power Management, but it is worth a try. If the monitor stays on then I would suspect a power setting or driver problem with Windows. The link below is for a little tutorial on booting Windows 8.1 into Safe Mode if needed. Step #2 is probably the easiest.
http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-8-windows-81
Have you tried booting into the BIOS Setup and see if inactivity blacks out the monitor ? You can boot into the BIOS Setup on your model by shutting the computer completely off then press and hold the F1 key when powering it back on. When you see the BIOS screen then release the F1 key. This would be the true test to see if your black out problem is a hardware issue since the operating system isn't loaded.

Keyboard shortcut for adjusting exposure causes image to black out for a short time.

Hi everyone,
I have always used the mouse and slider for adjust things in the develop module. I know started using the keyboard shortcuts for faster editing as sugested by everyone and I do like it. My problem is when i adjust any slider with the + or - keys my picture completely blacks out for a moment then comes back with the adjustment made. This is frustrating and completely defeats the purpose of using keyboard shortcuts for speed.
The only changes I made is I upgraded from a very old dell dimensions computer to a new alienware X51 computer. I am using lightroom 4.4 64bit and a HDMI connection to my monitor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Cj,
My guess that there is some other hot keys attached to '+' & '-' keys on your keyboard.
Try to put your system in clean boot and try to launch Lightroom and see if the issue still occurs.
If you dont get the issue any more go ahead and isolate the app which is causing issue by following divide and rule method on the apps.

MBP C2D 15" display blacks out!

My week old MBP C2D 15" blacks out on me. I find that it happens when applying light pressure on the back side, at a surface square underneath F1 - F5 - F - Caps Lock. Light pressure makes it flicker, a little harder results in complete black out. Obviously a production fault and I will of course take it in when I have time... this is my work tool so no way I can just leave it in for days. But that is another issue. Maybe someone else experience the same black out? My build is 8N1037

Hello
Did you find out the reason? The same message shows up in the system.log of my iMac Core Duo after the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Update, but the iMac works fine.
Cleaning all caches, repair user rights, PRAM and SMC Reset didnt help. Also no luck with Preferential Treatment tool to check for corrupted preference files, it didnt find corrupted plist files.
