[Solved] On open lid screen flashes desktop then blanks
Hello fellow archers, I've been dealing with the following nagging issue:
On open lid my desktop flashes for a few brief seconds then the screen goes blank. I have to type or use the touchpad to get my desktop again.
I believe something in Gnome settings is the origin of this problem because:
- I have 2 users running Gnome and on the second user I do not have this issue.
- On the user with this issues by stopping gnome-settings-daemon momentarily the issues is resolved.
gnome-settings-daemon depends on gsettings-desktop-schemas which leads me to believe maybe some setting got mucked up somehow.
I recently updated Gnome so there may be some connection to that.
Anywho, any help is appreciate
Cheers

I think I've solved the issue for now, by putting
the pm-suspend command in the lid event in the /etc/acpi/handler.sh
and added the laptop monitor off "script" in /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh as described in
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ac … _Power_Off
Seems to work.

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
I filled in this form with important data. And saved it. I have since opened it and printed it again. Now when I open it the fields become blank I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader. -

Screen flashes and then goes black after CPU load
Yesterday morning I upgraded my MacBook Pro 6,2 (Mid 2010) to OS X Lion. Since then I've been having issues while performing CPU-not-too-intensive tasks. Every once in a while my screen flashes for a split second and then turns completely black. The MBP is unresponsive so I'm forced to shut it down using the power button.
At first i though this was a Lion issue. However, it has happened again just now while I was on Windows through BootCamp. I was checking my e-mail and performing some other mundane tasks for about an hour, and then while trying to copy some files to an external Hard Drive my screen flashed and went black.
Hardware issue then??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.It's already happened 4-5 times right when I pressed Cmd+D to bookmark a site on Safari. What the heck? That isn't even a CPU load.
Here's the error report:

My iPhone 5s screen flashes blue then boots down or resets identical to 2013 blue screen of death
as stated the phone flashes blue after about 15 mins of use phone dosent even feel hot I've done some searches and came up with the 2013 bug blue screen of death relating to 7.0.3 but my phone is running 7.1.2 any ideas guys really frustrating
cheers simonStandard troubleshooting steps as outlined in the manual are restart, reset, restore, and restore as new. Start by powering off the device, and if that changes nothing, a reset as outlined below.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Help
Try another Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.]

My ipad will not turn on and is charged. I have also tried to reset my ipad by holding in the off/on button and the home button at the same time , but it did not work. The screen flickered a couple times and then went black. Is there anything else I can try?
Hi,
Does anything appear on the screen at all, e.g: Apple Logo etc?
You may also find the information here useful: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

IPod Touch 4G screen flashes on, then backlight turns off. What do?
On a trip to Guatemala my ipod touch backlight randomly stopped working. Sometimes when I press the power button it turns on like normal but then the light immediatly turns off. I can still faintly see the icons and such and the screen still works but I just cant see anything. Is there any fixes or will i have to replace the screen?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi malcolml33267653,
Where did you downloaded the installer from?
Does the installation throws any exception error or any error code?

IPad 2 screen flashes or goes blank
My iPad2 will just go blank in the middle of using it. Occasionally it will flash off and back on too.
Did you charge your battery? I also think your iPad has crashed and restarted. Did it crash when you were opening apps and doing stuff?

My machine was hit with the XP Antispyware virus today. I cleaned it up and everything is working well except Firefox.
THANK YOU, Vivek, for your '''outstanding '''help!! "'''Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages'''" WAS, in fact, selected, and deselecting has solved the problem! I have to wonder how that option became selected as a result of the upgrade -- or maybe I unintentionally pressed '''F7'''? -- but it's a moot point now.

White flash - desktop wallpaper reset
MacBook Pro 6,2 - i7 2.66GHz, 4GB DDR3 RAM. I have recently noticed that when I open certain applications (esp After Effects), the screen flashes white then my desktop wallpaper is miraculously reset to a solid blue wallpaper. I then need to go into sys prefs and change the wallpaper. Sometimes even this doesn't work and I have to log off and logon to be able to change the wallpaper.
well, often times, any hint you can give as to what you're trying to do can help get your problem solved. Excuse me for ask for clarification about exactly what you were trying to do.
If you're not willing to give clarification for things like this, then you might as well not ask the questions. These sorts of questions waste your time and ours. I don't even know why I'm wasting my time telling you this, it's something that should be pretty obvious to you.
I believe Windows can display this screen saver because it can display web pages as backgrounds, but it doesn't appear that OS X is able to do this. -
FX5200-T128 Screen flash on log in....
Hi there,
Just purchased the MSI FX5200-T128 card and installed with a new installation of XP and supplied drivers. Upon log in with any user the screen flashes twice, then logs in. Also when I go to the display settings and go to the FX5200 tab the screen flashes. Windows update indicated that I needed a new driver signed in July (I think) so I downloaded these. These were 45.23. After installation of these, hitting the display manager toolbar icon causes the screen to flash, as well as retaining the previous flashing problems!
This morning I have downloaded the 45.33 drivers with the same results.
Any ideas why my screen keeps flashing!?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
Athlon XP 2000
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP

MSI FX5200-T128I have another problem. I know that support for this card is poor with the current XFree and have downloaded the run file from Nvidia. I have a new HD and started to boot Mandrake 9.0 from CD. It got as far as hitting enter to start the install....then the screen went blank and that was it....
So now I have problems in both Linux and WinXP!!
Any help would be much appreciated,

New Intel iMac crashes after a screen flash
My new Intel iMac keeps crashing. When I'm using Photoshop CS3 the screen flashes and then the machine crashes. Did a search but couldn't find anyone else reporting the same problem. I updated the recent firmware update from Apple.
Hello m:
You indicate your system is new. Your best course of action would be to contact Applecare (or take it to an Apple store) for diagnosis and/or repair (under warranty).
