Screen wont shut off and is killing battery

When I first got the 8330 curve the screen would go off after a while and maintained my batterylife. Now the screen will never shut off and i didnt change any option to make it do that and its killing my battery. How do I fix that?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behaviors creep in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Screen wont shut off when I close the laptop after fresh install (L512)

So I recently replaced the hard drive in an lenovo L512 with an i3. I've updated windows completely and installed I believe most of the drivers. Everything seems to be functioning perfectly. The only thing is when I close the laptop. The display does not shut off. Is there a driver I am missing? I am running windows 7 professional x64. completely legitimate copy with the original key from the laptop. Thanks for any help!

This only started happening after I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, I don't have a clue why it does it, but if I close the screen on my laptop and open it, the screen doesn't come back on it just stays off but the power light button comes on and the WiFi signal button is on but it is red as if the wifi is turned off, is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know how to fix it? I have to manually hold down the power button everytime I close my laptop to turn it off and then back on and once it is on it works perfectly, but I don't like holding the power button down for obvious reasons. Thank you.Go back to Windows 10, seems HP do not care about releasing up to date drivers for Windows 10, this is despite the problem you report also happening during BETA Testing of Windows 10 over TWELVE MONTHS AGO! It is only now HP are bothering to advise people not to upgrade, but yet they clearly won't reply in this topic, which is more or less about your problem from many different users! http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Windows-10-Laptop-won-t-go-into-sleep-mode/m-p/5181173#M304826

HP Envy 32" monitor screen randomly shuts off and now won't come back one

So I've had this monitor for about two weeks. Several times it has randomly just went black. The power indicator LED is still showing it's on. My laptop still recognizes that it's connected only when I physically disconnect it from my laptop or unplug the power cord does it disconnect. Right after it happens I try switching to a different input (i had another laptop hooked up to the HDMI) and also pulling up the menu but nothing happens. I try turning it off with the power button or remote, nothing happens. Only after I unplug the power and plug it back in does the display work. ...Until this last time, it went black and no amount of unplugging and plugging back in would get it to work. It still "connects" to my laptop but there's no image, only blackness. I've mainly been using it with my lenovo thinkpad yoga via the onedock pro displayport, but when I try just HDMI with my other laptop I still get nothing. I've also tried unplugging and holding the power button for >1min like another post suggested. Any ideas? I'd hate to have to send it back.

okay so after a long wait with it being unplugged, I tried it and the display worked. i adjusted a few settings -turned off auto input selection and made DP hot plug always on (not sure what that does, but I thought I'd give it a try). Now instead of it randomly going black it randomly shows a green screen of vertical lines, and I have to unplug and wait forever before it works again. any thoughts?

I phone frozen Can anyone help, my iphone is frozen with a screen that shows Itunes logo an arrow and USB cable. Tried to reset, Apple screen comes up, the itunes screen, then shuts off and starts over again. Any ideas, this happened while updating.

Wow, sounds like it s goner.
If your not going to get it fixed, you can remove the drive and use a IDE/SATA to USB adpater to migrate or data recovery to a new Mac.

Internal mic wont shut off even though its disabled. How do I fix this?

Im trying to run samplitude music studio mx software and use the line in and mic in ports to record. The external mic that's built into my laptop wont shut off, and records background noise on my tracks. I have an HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx with an i7-2670QM processor running windows 7 home premium. How do I disable it from somewhere else besides the control panel, because it suggests the mic is disabled already? will I need a different laptop to run the software?

Hi,
Did you solve this problem because I have EXACTLY the same one. I am running Samplitude Music Studio 2013 on Windows 7 Home Premium on a Pavillion D6. I have high quality external mike input ruined becaus the on-board condenser mike will not disable, even though I disabled the "Integrated microphone array" as recommended. Is it because some software or other device driver keeps it active? Samplitude has no disable function for input devices and it makes no difference if you run WDM, MME or ASIO device drivers.
I did have to replace the computer screen once. Possible glitch? I hear DELL stopped ptting built-in mikes into their laptops!
Any advice/help deeply appreciated!

Iphone 4s freezing at start up then shuts off and keeps restarting then repeating that process over and over. I have tried to reset the phone two different ways and still this problem occurs after I update it or turn off the phone.

yes the title says most of what is going on.
I recently reset my phone, losing all contacts and pictures. It was working fine, then after I updated it, it will not turn on completely.
It starts up with the apple logo
-goes to the ios 6 (please slide to open) screen
-then shuts off
-and repeats the process unless I shut the phone off manually
I have tried to hold the lock and the home button down to manually reset the phone
I have also tried reseting the phone completely previously, and I still have this problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you!!

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard caps lock light wont shut off

My Bluetooth keyboard Caps Lock light wont shut off and it keeps eating the batteries everyday. I have to take the batteries out when Im not using it.
Just wondering if theres a fix to this issue or should I just get another one?
Thanks all.

Take it in for testing....sounds like it has failed.

Imac shut off and the fan is really loud...

I have an iMac 27" i7, 16 gb ram. The screen randomly shut off and the fan became really loud. Tried turning it off and back on, but still did the same thing. Tried resetting the PRAM, heard the chimes, but then did the same thing. Is it overheated?

Check it. Install an app like iStat Pro to check the temperature, and post it here. There are different temperatures (CPU, hard drive, graphic...). If you want, just take a screenshot of the widget (holding Command, Shift and 4 keys, and selecting the widget) and upload it here, pressing the photo icon at the top of the reply box.
Apart, you should run an Apple Hardware Test extended test, to check if there's any problem with the iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 If, after running it, it shows an error, copy it here, because the Mac has got a hardware issue

Help! My ipad wont turn off and wont open a screen. Just blank with the circle going round and around. was I hacked? Should I let the battery die? I am lame at this stuff.

Have you tried holding down the power and the home buttons until the slider bar shows up to shut down the iPad?

when i charge my ipod it turns on to the apple sign then shuts down again wont turn on and has no battery i tried getting a new cable but it still didnt work i also tried to push the home button and power off button and still didnt work also out of warrenty

When you plug it in to iTunes does it show up under devices? Try restoring it. That's the best thing you can do if you're out of warrenty

MY PHONE SHUT OFF AND WONT TURN ON. I HAD A FULL BATTERY. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I WAS UPLOADING A VIDEO. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY PHONE SHUT OFF AND NOW IT WONT TURN ON. I TRIED TO PLUG IT IN AND THAT DIDNT WORK.

It could just be the power. Apple says you should completely drain the battery and completely recharge it at least once a month. When completely drained, as they say, it takes a bit after being plugged in again for the iPhone to start responding again.
