System Settings - Display stopped working

Whats up with that? A fresh arch install with KDE. Display settings worked in the begininng but now nothing happens when I click it. All other settings work. Last thing I did in display settings was to set up dual monitors with nvidia tool.

There is a bug report for this over at Kubuntu. Maybe they'll come up with something other than disabling xinerama. (Or maybe that's where you got the idea?)

23" studio display stopped working

My 23" studio display stopped working with my mac pro but works with MBP.
It started by not waking up everytime my Mac Pro went to sleep, but if I unplugged it and plugged it all back it and restarted it would come on however now the screen will not even come on. The power light is on and when I plug it into my MBP it works fine.
I'm not exactly a tech whiz but could it be the graphics card? Which is currently - ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB
It's out of warranty so before I trek down to the Apple store I thought I'd see if I can fix it myself.
Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Same for me, after having installed SL and allowing the computer to go to sleep. When trying to wake it up, the computer boots (at least it sounds so), but the display stays black. If in system prefs/energysaving/ I set the computer to "never sleep" but allow the screen to go asleep it works OK. As soon as the computer goes to rest it is impossible to get the screen working again, have to do a physical reboot. Works fine then......., but I really would like to use the energy savings prefs!
I've looked into other threads of similar topics, did not find any clues. Judging by the number of threads, this is a well-known issue, waiting for to be answered by Apple.
Suggestions?

Hi Have you tried installing the basic driver, and the basic driver update to see if you have the same issue? Let me know if you have the same issue using the basic driver. Can you also provide me a screenshot of the error message you are receiving?

17" MacBook Pro Display stopped working

Hello,
I have a 17" 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (purchased January 2008) and the display stopped working today. There is no light behind the Apple logo on the back or the display. The little white light by the latch works as normal, and I can hear the disk spin up when I power it off and on using the power button.
When I connect to an external monitor, there is no signal. When the machine is powered on, I can see the drive on the network. I have also tried booting up using an install CD as well, but no luck.
Yesterday, I updated all my software applications and did all the Apple software updates, everything worked fine. I am still on Snow Leopard, version 10.6.8.
Any suggestions? Is it toast?

Went to the Genius Bar yesterday. It's part of the NVIDIA issue.

They had the part in stock should be able to repair it in 1-3 days.

System preferences froze, stopped working

I was changing my wallpaper picture and the System Preferences just stopped working, I can't do anything in it now! How can I solve this problem?

Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

External Display Stopped Working

I've been using an external Dell 19" monitor with my beloved and faithful Macbook Pro for years. All of a sudden, I was unable to select the propert setting for the external monitor. Two days later the monitor stopped working altogether when plugged into the Mac. The Mac screen acts like the other monitor is working, but there's nothing on the external screen. The Dell monitor tries repeatedly to turn on, but the power button repeatedly changed from amber to blue while saying it's entering power save mode and never turns on. I've tried changing screen savers as recommended on another forum to no avail. I also ordered a new mini-DVI to AVG connector in the hopes that is the issue. I've confirmed that the Dell monitor still works fine by connecting it to my old PC, so that's not the issue. Any advice is appreciated. I read copy for a living and really need the larger display. Thanks!

Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

Display stopped working on Satellite A300

Hi Guys,
I have satellite a300 PSAg4a-02500m laptop. All of a sudden the display has stopped working on the laptop. I tried plugging an external display but that is also not working.
I cannot even see the bios screen. The laptops normally, I don't hear any beeps while booting, just the fact that there is no display.
This laptop has a ATI M86 512MB graphics card. Its out of warranty.
Has any had similar experience. Is there any way to find out what the problem might be.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi Tama
Im afraid there is an serious hardware problem with your notebook.
I looks like the graphic card problem.
Usually if the internal display would be faulty, you should see everything on the external display. Therefore I think you GPU is affected.

Unibody mac book display stopped working!!!! please help

Hello all,
My display has stopped working, my 13 inch mac book still start up fine and I can see the desktop very very light if I place the display in sunlight. the keyboard still lights up. what could be the problem, no apple care. worse case scenario?
thank you

If your warranty hasn't expired, bring the computer in to an Apple store and have the folks there take a look.
All Macs come with a one-year warranty, and even if you have the aluminum unibody MacBook (the one without a Firewire port), you still have a warranty till sometime in October, so take advantage of it!

Rebel Xsi display stopped working will not take photo

I have had this camera for a few years. I took it with me and left it covered in the car (hot day) and now the display will not light up and the camera will focus on an object but will not take photo.
Would heat cause the display to stop working? What can be done to possibly correct this issue?

Hello Luckclover,

After system restore CS3 stopped working and can not be uninstalled

I did a system restore (W7) and my CS3 apps stopped working with the message "Licensing for this product stopped functioning. Currently you cannot use this product. Solve this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling or contact support." I tried to uninstall but the installation manager returns a list of applications with red X and "unsuccessful" next to it. Reinstalling it from the dvd returns: "Installation error, can not continue. Contact support. Internal error 2739". I do not really want to reinstall the whole system since other Adobe applications (PS CS6) work just fine.

Try using the Cleaner Tool

helps resolve installation problems for CS3 thru CS6 and for Creative Cloud

Yup, probably something corrupted in the backups of OSX.
I reinstalled OS X and I am now restoring my personal data from backup within the setup assistant.
However I don't know if iChat works again.
If it was a problem with OSX or the iChat app, you've got a new version of each, so probably.
Keep us posted.
