Screens do not turn back on after being turned off by windows power saving

I have Windows 7 on my T410 set to turn off my monitors (I use a docking station) after 15 minutes of inactivity.
The problem is that when I come back to the computer, I cannot get the monitors to come back on.  They actually turn on, but remain blank.  No matter what I do they won't come on.  This happens every time.
I have found that if I close the lid and make it go to standby mode, and then open and come out of standby, it will SOMETIMES make the screens show a picture.
What is also weird is that when I open the lid, sometimes Windows will ask me for my password, and then after I enter it, the screens will go blank again.  So I have to keep going to standby 2 or 3 times till it works.
This happened both on the Lenovo version of Windows 7 and my own clean version of windows 7 that I installed.
Any ideas?

For the time being I think I'm just going to plug my modem directly into the ethernet port. I can't stand that this ******** is happening with a brand new iMac when I just got done dealing with a fried iMac G5. Is Apple ever going to make another iMac that doesn't have something wrong with it?
If anyone knows of any fixes or other helpful information I would greatly appreciate it.

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable

  • Laptop screen won't turn back on after being waked up from pm-suspend

    I installed pm-utils and acpid to make my laptop sleep when the lid is shut.
    To do this I altered my /etc/acpi/handler.sh to look like this
    http://pastebin.com/9DgQQ30Z
    Changing lines 57, 58 and 59 to:
    button/lid)
    #echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
    /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
    esac
    The laptop suspends completely fine, and the power light turns from a solid light to flashing. But when I open the lid, the laptop wakes up fine, except for the screen which just stays completely black.
    I can't do anything to get it back on, I even can't switch to any virtual terminals, forcing me to to a hard reboot.
    This happens also when I just run "sudo pm-suspend" normally with the lid open and use the power button to wake back up. Wakes up fine except for the screen.

    First thing that would be helpful to know would be to know what kind of computer you have (e.g. model).
    I actually had an identical problem with my laptop. It ended up being an issue with the wireless drivers included in the kernel. Ultimately had to blacklist them and install the ones from the vendor's website. Anyways, start with the model, and we can try to help you from there

  • I recently restored my iPhone 4s from back-up after being reset. An app that I had turned off in back-up did not show up in my recent resoration. I forgot to turn that app back on. Would there be any way I would be able to get the data from that app?

    I hope this will help you with your problem:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
    Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
    I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.

  • Now wifi will not turn back on automatically in the morning after being turned off all night. Use to be ok before now. Is it the new update 7.1? Help

    Wifi will not turn back on in the morning after being turned off all night, it use to work for years. Is it the new 7.1 ?

    Yes that what I mean, after the phone has been turned off all night, when I turn it back on the morning the wifi will not turn on by itself. Eventually by turning off and on the main phone switch and the wifi in settings it sometimes come back on! Then I'm ok for the rest of the day even when I leave the house and come back it's ok. Only first thing in the morning, strange that it doesn't wake up like it use too.
    Thank you

  • CQ62-215DX hybernates upon closing notebook and does not come back on after opening screen again

    My CQ62-125DX  Product WQ5856UA#ABA   shut down when book was closed in the on position.  The screen remains black athough Cap lock light s intermitent. I shut down to reboot, and system sounds and acts as if t was coing o, but screen never lights up.  
    This happened only after the laptop screen was closed and reopened.  after giving up I decided to press the power button three week later, and it came on, but thinking all was Ok after a couple of days, again I closed the laptop and screen will not come back on upon opening.  It seems to gointo hybernate mode, but will not wake up again.   If it happens to come on again I will go in and shut off the energy saving featues, so it does not go into hybernatiion,   but mean while......  What fix do you have for this issue.   I'm not doing anythingut of the ordinary, I look online, and see that many people experience these symptoms.   Have you looked into this and figured how to solve this glitch??      Thanks in advance for you help  ALbert

    Same thing here!! I was calling my wife and it happened 3 times in a row in a matter of minutes. I rebooted the phone and it went away. Hasn't crept up on me again, yet (knock on wood).
    I don't know whether it makes a difference and whether they are technically the same, but I upgraded the firmware that was released 07/10/2008 that is from Apple's Servers from version 5A345 to 5A347 just to see if this fixed any last minute glitches.
    I hope this problem never surfaces again. We all paid a lot for these and spent a lot of time waiting for activation.

  • 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]]

  • Screen not coming back on after phone call??!!

    this is a brand new 3g phone. And I have had a 1st Gen iPhone from the original release date.
    However, when I make a call and put the phone to my ear, the screen goes black as it should. But upon the conclusion of the call the screen does not come back on until I have locked it and unlocked it again!!
    Has this happened to anyone else?

  • My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens

    My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens. PLEASE HELP

    I have a similar (if not the exact same) problem! Here are some more details if they are helpful.
    My iPhone 4 died earlier today and will not turn back on. It seemed that the battery died while it was not in use. I attempted to charge it on one charging cord in multiple wall outlets and none worked. Assuming it was a malfunction in the cord, I took my phone home to try charging it there.
    Again, I attempted charging it in multiple outlets with a different cord than previously used. None of these seemed to work, though they would flash the Connect to Power screen for a brief moment before returning to a black screen. I assumed that my phone was simply so depleted of battery that it needed a long charge.
    I charged it for 30+ minutes without any success, then attempted to charge it through my MacBook instead of through a wall outlet. iTunes did not even recognize that my phone plugged in (and still hasn't). I've attempted charging it for an extended period of time (1+ hour) with no luck. Sometimes when I press the Power button it will flash the Connect to Power screen once more before returning to black.
    The Apple logo never appears, nor does any apparent progress on charging. I have attempted holding down the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for 10 - 30 second increments. Still no luck. There is no reason anything should be happening with this phone that I can identify.
    I have no warranty and just recently replaced my previous phone which had had similar problems before completely crashing. This is a phone new to me that was previously used but in almost new conditions and factory reset by Apple prior to my purchase.
    Does this mean that my phone battery is dead?
    Is there anything else I can do??

  • Why does it take so long for the phone to turn back on after the battery dies?

    Is apple going to do anything about the length of time it takes for the phone to turn back on after the battery drains?

    Just a thought, but if the battery is not allowed to completely die then the amount of time it takes for the device to power back up is irrelevant.
    Charge the device regularly and often.  One of the worst things for a Lithium Ion battery like that in an iPhone is completely discharging it.

  • New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord.  Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on.

    New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord.  Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on. Sometimes holding the power button for a second is enough for it to come back on.

    I took it to the Genius Bar, and they identified it as a hardware issue. Just got it back today. Parts replaced were:
    620-5629 Display Module — Symptom: Distored/blurred/focus video issue
    605-3284 Top Case with Keyboard — Symptom: specific key(s) do not work
    So far so good. I'd suggest taking it in and not trying to work around it — it's a rare hardware issue (given the number of threads about it) and should be replaced.

    May have been reset by iTunes.  After turning it off on your device, also connect your phone to your computer, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, under Automatic Backup choose This Computer, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
