Scrolling makes screen fade to black

Hi all - ever since I upgraded to Leopard, I'm having a problem with Aperture where my whole library becomes black when I scroll through thumbnails. If I stop scrolling, eventually the pictures reappear. This makes it really hard to use Aperture since I can't really see what I'm doing. It happens fairly consistently, but isn't 100% reproducible. Any ideas?

Your screen can be set to fade to black after a specific amount of time to conserve battery life. You decide for how long you want it to stay on, anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. This will only affect the time between activity on your screen, so if you're swiping and pressing the screen quite a bit it won't go out until you stop accessing the screen then it'll start the countdown to the time you set.
To adjust it, swipe down while on your homescreen and select Settings>Display>Screen Timeout.
I hope that helps you.

While in the B/W desktop go to the System/Accessability preference pane and check to see if this checkbox is selected:
If it isn't toggle it on and then off again and see if there's any change.

Lenovo G360 - Screen fades to black

The laptop screen will fade to black while in windows. The laptop is still on but the screen picture is gone. Its not the battery becuase its a new one. The only thing that brings the screen picture back is after I have put the laptop in the refrigerator for 10+mins. What does that mean? Will a cooling pad do the job or is in more internally. Pls Help with some options!

Macbook pro 13 screen fades to black?

Does any other owner of a mid 2010 MBP 13" (puchased 2/11) have this weird problem: when the laptop is warmed up, the screen randomly dims then fades to black then in a few seconds lights up again. In addition, while the screen fades, the lights look like, oddly, stage lighting. I have already had the whole screen replaced (the whole top), but it still persists. On my next call to Apple Support they told me this is reported by others and "they are working on it" and to look for a firmware update. All fine and dandy, but I have frustration in the meantime. I and my family have been owners of many mac products since 1990. They are all great products and now that I have a real issue, I am banking on great support.

There are two other discussions about a similar topic. See if resetting the SMC helps...otherwise, the other recommendation is to take it in for service.

Neat way to make stage fade to black?

I am currently trying to find some neat way to make everything on the stage fade to black (like the sun was going down). I know i can just create a stage sized black box with an alpha value of 1 and do something like box.alpha += 1/10;. I was just wondering if there is a cleaner way to do this preferably only using actionscript. I appreciate any sort of respond

Can you tell me why this does not work?
darkness = new mc_dark();
addChild(darkness);
var fade:Tween = new Tween(darkness,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,120,true);
It seems to be working all right but the movieclip mc_dark never gets an alpha value of 1, more like 0.5.

Gnome: at random times, screen fades to black and stays black

I'm having a strange issue with my gnome based netbook (Aspire One).
Sometimes, the screen will fade to black without any user input. It looks like the screen is powering off and preparing to go to screensaver/blank screen mode, but I cannot unlock it.
Its just the screen, I can go to tty1 (blind), login, and the computer will respond to commands such as shutdown.
I tried turning off the screensaver in Gnome settings + turning off screen blanking in Gnome Power Management, no luck.
Checked all logs, didn't find anything suspicious. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, at random times the screen goes black, nothing else changes, I could keep with a conversation on skype. Also sometimes the screen flickers, by the way I'm also using Gnome. I have the impression that this started since the last Kernel update and looking at the logs I found the following:
In the dmseg.log :
ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x18e0-0x18ff] conflicts with ACPI region SMBI [0x18e0-0x18ef]
ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver
I also noticed that if I close the lid of my netbook and open it again the screen appears again. I would like to find a solution to this problem but I'm not very experienced.
EDIT: I do use an intel card -- 945GME --, and the flickering seems to be from this bug on Intel Cards:

Video camera screen fades to black or very dark wh...

on the Lumia 920, when recording video which is quite long; 30 minutes, the camera fades to black, as if you are recording in a darkened room.
This has happened now and then? I'm planning to record a soccer game lasting 30 minutes, so obviously, I'm a bit worried. It will fade. Rebooting the phone seems to solve it. I did notice the phone was a bit hot.
The camera itself seems to go blank or near dark. Even taking a photo, the camera is dark. Like I said, rebooting fixes it.

hi mate, have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware version? i remember that on early versions of WP8, it cut-out at about half an hour because the file system did not recognise that writing files of 4GB was allowed. this was fixed though.
also ensure that you are up to date with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store.

Scrolling makes screen go blank until I click near top. Individual boxes go black. The 3.7 version works fine.

Every time I move mouse over a box, it goes black. moving elsewhere restores it. If I scroll with cursor or mouse whole screen goes black except for some of the navigation at top. If I click at top, screen comes back.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Macbook takes about 15 minutes to open programs, or even react to command, also freezes and screen fades to black.

I power on my macbook as normal, it takes 10 minuets for any screen to pop up, its usually a blue screen at first then pops up the actual desktop. I can then move my cursor around and over the apps on my dock but they dont bounce, react, or even open. it takes about 15 minuets for the apps to actually react with my cursor and then i can open my apps as normal. once i use my mac for a period of about 1-2 hours it will freeze, then a transparent black/grey screen screens down the entire screen and then goes completly black, then i have to manually shut off my mac... whats going on, and how do i fix this? its only a little over a year old.

T42 screen fades to black at times.

Hi,
My recently given T42 monitor would out of the blue turns black like there is no input. However, I can still hear the sound. The only way to get back the input/display is to press the button on the top left corner as if I closed and opened the monitor.
I have tried to identify the cause/trigger, but no particular pattern was identified.
There is also the red hue when ever the laptop is powering on or returning for a hibernation. This red hue only lasts for a few second. I wonder if this has anything to do with the black screen symptom?
I appreciate any help!
khanh

Welcome to the forum!
The red hue that you've seen is a tell-tale sign of a dying backlight (CCFL), nothing else gives out that symptom.
Time for a screen replacement unless you're extremely handy and have a hospital-grade dust-free room to swap the CCFL yourself.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Why does my Palm Vx screen fade to black?

The screen comes on for a split second before fading out as if the contrast were set all the way up.
Any suggestions, theories, comments or urban legend causes and solutions are appreciated.
Thanks
Post relates to: Palm Vx

hi tom. someone posted a solution for my problem. i think it's the same for your problem.
on the top of your palm there are two buttons. click the one on the left. it will bring up the contrast control at the bottom of your screen. slide the control thingy to the left and the screen will become bright again!
let me know if it doesn't work.

Finder built-in slideshow blinks after fade-to-black before starting

When I start a slideshow from Finder, the screen fades to black smoothly, but then when it's black, it blinks back to normal view for few millisecs before starting the slideshow. This makes the fade-to-black totally non-effective.
The effect is the same when changing resolution (the screen blinks on for a while). Anyone else has this?
It's not visually nice at all. How to get rid of it?

This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
You'll need to reset some Preferences.

Can I get movie to fade to black?

I inserted a Youtube video into my project and used the slider in Widget, Interaction to stop it about midway through, the first part being all that I wanted to show. But then when I preview it, it simply stops abruptly and retains the last screen image. Is there a way to make it fade to black, other than going back and redoing it in iMovie?
Thanks.
