Screen doesn't come back after lid closing and open

Hi all,
I just replaced LCD screen from my old cracked one on my T61 7658-CTO.
There was no backlight, no indicator lights except WAN.
I tried another inverter, but same symptoms.
So, I tried another video cable, but same symptoms.
Then, I put the cracked one back in, but still same symptoms.
I can't figure out what's gone wrong.
I tried several other things and found out that
if I connect the video cable to the inverter in a half way from the left, then the screen works!
However, if I close the lid and open again, the screen doesn't come back.
And while screen works, if I power the laptop off and turn on again, the screen works fine.
So, I'm thinking there's something wrong with lid switch.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I've seen a few people having same problem on this forum,
but nobody has an answer to this yet.
Please help me!

Nobody?
Could it be a damaged mobo or lid sensor? Or even some kind of fuse on mobo that people talk about?
It's really weird that lcd works perfectly with the inverter board only halfway connected to the vga cable.
If I push it fully for full connection, the screen goes dark; no backlight.
If I pull it out halfway from the right, then the screen come back and works very fine until I close the lid and open again.
Indicator LEDs never work except the WIFI one.

Screen doesn't come back after sleeping

Occassionally I find that after closing my MPB to put it to sleep the screen doesn't come back up after re-opening the laptop. The pulsing white light which tells you the machine is sleeping goes off, so it seems as if the machine has woken up.... but there's nothing on the screen. I'm forced to use the power button to shut the machine down and start up again.
Something to worry about?
(p.s. I just tested it again and noticed that when I close the lid the white light isn't pulsing, but rather stays lit)

I just recently (within the last two days) started having this problem myself. I've only owned the Macbook for a few months (purchased it from Apple online store right before the new ones came out). I am thinking it might be due to a recent update or something.
When I close the lid, laptop sleeps but when you open it you can hear the CD tray spin up like it's trying to wake but doesn't. I've tried adjusting screen brightness via f-keys, changing the volume, etc. but seems like system is just locked up. I've been having to hold down the power button and force a reboot.

Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.

Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.
I work in full screen almost exclusively ... the toolbar and the URL are still displayed while in full screen.
Before this version (30.0), when I minimized Firefox to the taskbar so that I could go to the desktop or to Windows Explorer, when I finished what I was doing and re-selected Firefox it would go back to full screen. Now, it does not go back to full screen. I can still see the taskbar. I have to press [f11] two more times to get back to full screen.
I have tried with and without addons enabled. Same behavior. I have reset Firefox ... same behavior.
I'm using Firefox 30.0 and Windows 7 (64 bit).
Thanks.

Hi moose53,
Just tested it with a Logitech keyboard and you are right, what you are describing is not expected behavior. I see you do not have any add ons, however does this also reproduce in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If yes, try a new profile [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

Can some body give me an advice, my cursor can not be controlled after I shut it down, and open again. But this problem goes away after I closed and opened the lid

Can some body give me an advice, my cursor can not be controlled (using pad) after I shut it down, and open again. But this problem goes away after I close and open the lid.

Boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.

Screen won't come back after installing updates

Hi,
Fell behind in installing updates, so I did them all in one go yesterday. Message came up to warn me that my screen was going to go dark and not to restart. This was near the end of my work say so I left it overnight. I've come in this morning and while the computer is 'working' (accessable across the network etc.) nothing is coming up on screen - it looks completely dead. I zapped the PRAM and still no joy.
Has anyone come across this before? And how do I get my display to wake up? Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

Only got it June this year - brand new.

Does the sms cache come back after a restore and back up from icloud

My phone is running sluggish and I want to do a restore. In addition to this I would like to get rid of my old deleted messages that still appear in spotlight search. I'm
Not country in the same country as my mac so I can't back up via iTunes. I was going to back up with icloud and imatch. I have two concerns though before I do this.
1. Will all my old sms caches just come back with all those deleted messages I had. Are they saved in my last back up or will they disappear as there saved to the phone itself (which will be wiped via the restore0)?
2. Secondly I want to get my old music back and as I'm away from home for over a year I need to do this via imatch. Will my imatch subscription still work and will it bring in all my music I had previously.
Thanks for any help.

currently in the same country*

Samsung NP305V5A: Screen does not come back after resume

The issue: screen does not turn ON when resuming from suspend-to-ram. PC fans start working. I can even "gently" reboot the notebook, by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F1>, then <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del>. But the screen does not work..
Note: resume worked with the Catalyst driver (but this blob has many other glitches...)

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

Screen won't come on after waking from sleep

I have a late 2008 Aluminum MacBook 13-inch running OS X Lion 10.7.3 and when I put it to sleep by closing the lid and leave it for more than a few hours, the screen won't come back on. When I open the lid I get a flash with my log in window and my background but then it goes black. I can also get a flash with just the brightness indicator at full brightness with an otherwise black screen if I run my finger across the F keys. If I press the escape key the power light comes on and then fades out. I havent found a dicusion of something like this and I have no Idea what it could be.

I have the exact same problem, I have to let the computer sit for a long period of time before trying to turn it on. If not, i get a solid black screen, with the front light on, and the noise from the hard disk. Any suggestions? I don't have any additional RAM installed.

Running MBP 15 with lid closed and external screen = damaging screen?

I connected an external screen to my laptop with the lid closed and woke it up through my external keyboard. I am vaguely remembering reports stating that heat is vented through the keyboard as well as through the vents in the back.
Does that mean that running the laptop with the lid closed is damaging the machine or specifically the screen?

No, it's fine.

Very weird: uninstalled programs come back after reboot

I have turned off the system restore. I am sure the programs are uninstalled from the control panel, and the files in C:\Program Files\xxx are all gone. But these programs always comes back after a reboot, and resets all the file associations. I guess
it is a strategy the previous IT staff used to protect these programs. But the current IT staff have no clue what is happening here. It is so annoying.
Thank you very much for any input.

When you restart your PC, does it remove everything?
You might have two administrator in your account, try use log off and see what administrators do you have in your PC?

My screen dims during phone calls but doesn't come back on after

It seems for the past several weeks my phone seems to dim when I put it up to my ear to take a call but then the screen does not come back on when I take the phone away from my face like it is supposed to. The screen seems to dim if anything comes within 3 or 4 inches of the sensor but the screen never comes back on and I have to hit a button.
sorry if this is re-hashing and I am sure there are others with this issue but frankly I can't seem to get this forum to search and come up with anything so I decided to start a new topic.

Did you try pressing the power button briefly?

my ipad screen is black and will not reset and does not come back after restoring, the info is still on internal because i can see it on itunes in the apps catagory it's the display is not working, can see backlight but black...does anyone know how to fix, other than take it to apple.
thanks!

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

Maldoman578,
Let's help solve this mystery together! Is your screen freezing after every reboot? Is there any physical/liquid damage on the device? When did this issue begin? Did you notice this after a recent update or application download?

Skype for Android comes back after log out

I'll try this message again because apparently the first time I wrote it it just went into the ether of the internet. Recently Skype on my S4 has been logging back in and starting up after I've logged out even after I've forced closed the app. Previously when I closed the app by signing out it would completely get out of skype. If this behavior continues I will make sure that I make my company and friends leave skype and Lync (since they are becoming the same thing). This is on top of the terrible redesign of the desktop app that you pretended to listen to feedback on but after over 80 pages of feedback, decided not to listen to at all. Please don't present this as a "feature" or say that you can solve the problem by turning off "Sign in automatically" and "turning off notificiations." I want those things to remain as I don't want to have to enter my password each time I use the app and I would like the notifications when in use. And turning them on and off each time is the mark of a terrible interface. If this is some sort of feature, it needs to be made separate and made sure that Skype doesn't autorun when turning on your phone. I should mention that some of these have been notifications in the middle of the night, so it not only can affect ones sleep, it can cause additional communication problems with people thinking they are online when they truly are not. Definitely not something you want in a business or personal atmosphere. Skype for Android even with it's new notifications is still a terrible battery hog, with no option to change the now strange formatting and call button is in a place that results in a lot of unintentional calls because it's by where the touch keyboard is instead of at the top like it was previously. There is no reason that Skype should come back after being forced closed, but it should not have to get to that point. Please fix ASAP. This does explain some of the terrible battery life I've been experiencing lately.

THERE IS A WORKAROUND FOR THIS VERY ANNOYING AND BAD BEHAVIOUR I also have experienced this problem on S4mini, SII and other Android devices running all sorts of versions of AOSP. You are all correct that this should not happen (signout should == signout) but if you don't want to reboot you Android all the time then do the following (instructions for A 4.4.2 Kitkat on Samsung running TouchWiz but similar to other devices)0. Signout of SKYPE1. SETTINGS2. MORE ...3. APPLICATION MANAGER4. RUNNINGYou should find a SKYPE process; select it and STOP (ignoring any warnings). Voila, no more zombie SKYPE Worring things include being online and woken in the middle of the night - but more so is that the running process is VIDEOMONITOR - now why would MSFT want to leave that running???
