Scrren remains black/off after switched off to save power.

I have this problem on two different Porteges with
windows 98 second edition.
They are both obtained second handed, and all drivers are
as found on the internett. And the windows 98 is
standard CDs (not Toshiba CD). Both have the latest BIOS.
Everything else is working fine, this is the only
problem.
In Control Panel -> Screen -> ....... you can specify
power settings/savings. I think I have turn off screen
after 2 minutes, and turn off hard disk after 5 minutes.
This works just fine. The screen goes black, and then I
can turn it on again by moving the pointer ("mouse").
But if I leave it for a long time, and get back to it,
then the screen remains black ! (This is the problem).
But everything else is still running just fine ! ... and
I can do a controlled shutdown by pressing ctrl-alt-del
alt-s, WHILE the screen is black.
Any ideas anybody ?

Hi,
which Portege models do you own? Because as you explained you use the MS Power Management which is not the best one!
You can look at http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - Driver downloads if the Toshiba Power Saver is available for your units and W98!
It can be that the old W98 Power management has problems with the complex hardware of the portege series therefore is the power saver availale at Toshiba site!
Good luck

  • My iphone's screen goes black and it behaves like that it is switched off.No switches work and the power button also does not respond.The ringtone do not also respond.The only way to switch on the phone is to press  home button and  power button together.

    Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
    If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.

    Turn off the phone 
    Press Power + Volume Up/Down at the same time and hold until display will show a triage android screen 
    Display will show:

  • Disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault

    Hi,
    I found my disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault, nearly everything belongs to "system" now.
    Can anyone PLEASE tell me what permissions are standard for
    -Desktop
    -Applications
    -System
    -Libary
    ore doesn't it matter anyway ????
    Thanks a lot...

    Assuming you're just talking about the Owner being System then:
    The owner of Desktop should be your user name.
    Applications and System should be System. Since these are not in your Home folder these permissions would have been corrected when you ran Repair Disk Permissions.
    The Library folder depends on which Library folder you are talking about. If it's the Library folder that's in the same folder as System and Applications, then the Owner should be System, as well. Again, if that is not in your Home folder, then the permissions repair would have corrected it.
    If, however, it's the Library that's in your Home folder, then it should have your username as the Owner.
    Filevault only affects things that are in your Home folder so turning it on/off doesn't affect permissions anywhere else.

  • Computer wakes from sleep but screen remains black even after restart

    So, I installed SL yesterday and everything seemed fine. Last night, I closed my computer's monitor (putting it to sleep) for the night. This morning, when I opened it, the screen was black. I could not see anything, so I just restarted the computer.
    On restart, the screen remained black.
    After some experimentation, I realized that the computer was actually running, but I just couldn't see anything. So, I typed my password - screen was still black.
    I then pressed the power button and enter - shutting down the computer properly.
    After it shut down, I turned it on and the screen came on as normal...
    What's going on here?
    I checked some other threads and there was some potential issue with the iphoto screensaver, but I am not sure if that is the case here or not.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this or prevent it form happening in the future?

    I just had a similar thing occur. After resetting the pram the screen came back on.
    I had noticed some problems with the hot corners for sleep mode earlier so I have deactivated them now to see if this was the problem. The only other thing I can think of is the recent Java update. I installed it right before the problem occurred.

  • Sometimes my iMac starts with white lettering across the screen on a black ground and after switching off for a few seconds starts on ok ! Any ideas

    Sometimes my iMac starts up with white lettering acrossthe screen on a black background - when it's switched off for a few seconds it starts up ok. Can anyone tell me why this happens ?

    I have read on here that a PRAM reset can cure this problem:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • ServiceLayer.exe 100 % after switch off cable from...

    Hi all
    I have problem with Nokia PC Suite.
    WinXP S2
    Nokia PC Suite 6.84.10.3 cz
    non-nokia cable ca42usb
    Nokia 3220
    After i switch off cable from my USB port servicelayer.exe take me 100 % of PC process. I must CTRL+ALT+DEL and shutdown this process.
    I try all. Close Nokia PC Suite, install new driver for cable, off my Nokia.
    Thanks. Steve

    It's a bug in PC suite 6.84.
    Hopefully it will be fixed in 6.85 when it is released.
    6.83 works fine and is far more stable and reliable than 6.84.

  • Word documents have disappeared from my desk top (macbook air) and cannot be found anywhere, happened after switching off and re-bootingk

    Saved word documents have dissappeared from the desk top after saving. Problem seems to occur when laptop is switched off and then re-started. they can't be found anywhere e.g tried spotlight, recent documents etc. Help. Joe

    First, you might as well address the two apparently-minor issues you found:
    Some info on the Epson Scanner Monitor (via searching these forums):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8272208&#8272208
    Not sure about the MS Word message, but it looks like you might need an upgrade. I'd check with Microsoft, or perhaps VersionTracker.com.
    Ok, back to the original problem. Does the message have any other text (intelligible or not)?
    Does it give you any options, especially "report"? If so, take it, then look via Console for a crash log.
    What IS in the system log for the sleep/wake time? There should be a System Sleep, followed by a System Wake, and perhaps another line or two. Anything in that area might be helpful.

  • Error: cartridge not suitable for this printer after switch off and on

    HI,
    I have an officejet 6310 all-in-one. After printing and switching it off and switching it back on the next day, I get the message (translated from Dutch):
    catridge error:
    Rightside cartridge isnot suitable for this printer
    Switching it off, removing either the right-hand cartridge or even both cartridges doesn't solve this issue. Anyone has an idea how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ronald.

  • Nokia CK-7W Car Kit won't switch off after switch...

    Hi,
    I have a CK-7W car kit (connected via bluetooth).
    Recently, the car kit has been reconnecting 2 to 3 seconds after switching the engine of the car off. I cannot seem to stop this from happening, even when clearing memory or even disconnecting the car battery for 20 mins.
    Any advice on how to reset the car kit would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Thanks for the response.
    The car kit was installed by a Car Phone Warehouse Nokia approved fitter about 4 years ago The kit has worked really well until recently!
    The contol button doesn't seem to be stuck in and responds as it should to button presses. In terms of the cable being squashed or damaged. Obviously there is a chance, but in actual fact, only an inch is on show before it is hidden behind the dashboard. In this instance I'm not sure what damage might occur since I don't know how to remove the dash!
    Apologies, I'm not certain I understand your comment re:
      -  "You can rule out the button by disconnecting it then starting the car and connecting, before switching off the car to see if the kit shuts down."
    How do I disconnect the button? Does it pull away from the lead / cable?
    Many, many thanks for your help,
    Chris

  • Audio during Call is muted after Switch-off of Pho...

    1. Pair with Car infotainment system,
    2. Connect as BT Audio & as a BT handsfree kit,
    3. Switch off bluetooth without disconnecting (or unpairing) with Car's Audio Infotainment System.
    4. make an incoming or outgoing call after phone's BT switch off.
    Expected: Call should be normal.
    Actual: Call is in progress but audio is muted from phone's speaker because Nokia 5230 is still assuming BT paired device presence.
    Recovery: Phone switch OFF-ON

        This is not how bluetooth is suppose to work and especially with such an awesome phone MBalmer. What bluetooth device do you have? Did you purchase your bluetooth device from? Let's try removing the connection with your bluetooth and phone completely and then reconnect them. Does the disconnection occur in certain spots? Are you using a special application for bluetooth? I look forward to hearing from you so we can get ths resolved.
