T500 on screen display not working

I searched, but have not found any other posts with this problem.
I re-loaded Windows Vista 64 on a new hard drive, and have re-installed all drivers. I installed the hotkey driver for on screen display, and the tab appears correctly in the advanced display properties.
The on-screen display was working properly with the default Vista driver, but once I installed the dual graphics drivers, the on-screen display has become about 2 pixels high, just above the windows task bar. I tried changing the font and size and color in the setup tab, but this doesn't fix it. I have uninstalled and re-installed the hotkey driver, and also the display drivers.
Any ideas for this strange one?

Thank you! That did it! For others benefit, here are the instructions from the earlier thread:
There is a bug, so the size isn't really set, and you don't see anything. That's why you have to edit the size in windows registry editor. Click Start -> RUN-> type "regedit" BE CAREFULL with this tool! Press CTRL+F .... and find "OnScreenDisplay" Whole path will be: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM\TPHOTKEY\OnScreenDisplay Change "Size" value from "00 00 00 00" to "00 01 10 10" (right click on "Size" -> select Modify Binary data). Close Registry Editor. That's it.
My on screen display driver is the latest. I am using Vista Business 64 bit, so maybe the driver for 64 bit has not been fixed yet.
Thanks again!

On Screen Display not working on T61P running WXP SP2

This started with an error on 'tponscr.exe' when I hit a volume button. I reinstalled the Thinkvantage Hotkeys from the Lenovo site and I no longer get the 'tponscr.exe' error but the on screen display doesn't work (Volume does change tho). The Fn keys also do not work as well. System update also did not correct. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

I've had no luck with the latest HotKey drivers on my T61. I revereted to the driver version that came with the T61 and things seem to be working. In case you want that version, I've posted it to

HP pavilion dv6-6c01ej On-Screen Display not working

Hi, I have an HP pavilion dv6-6c01ej and I want to use the on-screen display, to see for example when the volume when I turn it up or down (also for brightness change and so..).
I looked in the Programs and Features in Control Panel and saw I have the last version of the driver (version 1.3.5).
I couldn't find the actual prgoram in the Start menu (I don't even know if it exists).
I wanted to download it again so I can try uninstall and install, but the file could not be found, using this link:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55152.exe
From here:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-dv6-6c00-entertainment-notebook-pc-serie...
I don't know if it's the same driver for all the pavilion dv6 pc's.
Also, I tried downloding the HP MediaSmart for that, but the download failed for some unknown reason.
So, How can I turn this feature on?
This question was solved.

Thanks a lot.

X200: ON SCREEN DISPLAY not working

Recently reimaged from Vista Home basic to Vista Ultimate.
After droping all the drivers and thinkvantage software back on, the On Screen Display does not show the volume bar nor the brightness bars. Tried reinstalling HotKey and every othercombination unistalls and reinstalls, I also flash to a new BIOS as well as installig the new OS, so not sure if it may be a problem with that. Any ideas, or updates in regards to this issue?

I have similar problem to yours. Updated new BIOS and all Hotkey through ThinkVantage.

Lock screen display not working properly on wakeup from screen sleep

I just purchased a macbook air top model mid 2012... yesterday. It's brand new. When I click the trackpad to wake up the screen after it sleeps and has auto-locked (not a computer sleep! just a screen sleep), the screen is not all present. I have to move my mouse around to reveal the rest of the screen. Once I have done that enough to find my icon to enable text entry, I put in my password and I get back to the desktop which is then normal. This behaviour is only occuring on a wake-up after screen sleep. Seems like a video driver problem to me. The only add-ons I have at the moment are alfred and bettersnaptool. Has anyone run into this? Is there a fix? Also, I have applied all the latest updates. I can't remember, but this might have begun after the latest update.
Thanks,
John

On screen display not working

For some reason I can't explain, I'm no longer seeing the green sound level or brightness level display when I hit the buttons. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Hi dysnomian,
Welcome to the Lenovo forum.
If re-installing the video driver doesn't fix your problem, you might try the registry hack.
Good luck,
Frank

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I just took my new MacBook Pro out of the box and the screen will not work. Display is, black no life to the screen at all

So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all

Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down.

Lenovo Yoga 13 Screen is not working

Hi Guys!
Please go through my complete message as it is very 'painful' experience you can ever come across when buying a laptop.
The Lenovo Yoga is not available in Australia. So, I bought the Lenovo Yoga 13" orange i5 128GB from 'adorama.com' for US $999 + UPS shipping $105. Unfortunately the shippment attracted a custom of 185 AUD which I had to pay later. In total, I have already spent 1400 AUD.
The UPS courier service delivered the shipment to my address an hour back i.e. today on 5th July,2013. I was very happy to receive the product but when I switched on the laptop, the screen is not working properly and is displaying a number of vertical colored lines.
To confirm that it is the screen problem, I connected the laptop to my TV with a HDMI cable upon which I could see the windows display on the TV. This clearly establishes the fact that the laptop's screen is faulty.
Next, when I checked the warranty number online it shows that warranty starts from three months earlier than my purchase date which clearly shows that someone registered the laptop before.
Also, the charger I received with the laptop looks to be a used one with scratches and marks on it.
I am afraid, the product I got from Adorama is damaged and maybe a refurbished one as the charger clearly looks to be used before. I am deeply disappointed with this incident as I was very excited to use that product and also importantly had lots of work to do with it.
I contacted Adorama, and they are saying that they might exchange/ refund after seeing the product for which I have to ship back the product to the United States. They have asked me to provide a quotation of the shipment and told me that they will decide accordingly.
Firstly, I dont know how it will work out and next, I cannot trust these people anymore to refund me the money after returning the product. I am anyways losing the money I paid on customs.
Therefore, as being my fellow Lenovo Yoga mates, I request your advise on this issue to me. I would really appreciate whatever it is.
I kindly request Lenovo to look into this matter.
Thank you!
Amer

I have exactly the same problem just a set of vertical lines on the screen. Never before have I had such a pathetic problem except maybe with laptops that are 6 years old.
For further details I have the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13-inch Convertible Ultrabook (Orange) - (Intel Core i7 3537U 2.0GHz Processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Integrated Graphics, Windows 8) bought from amazon.co.uk ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00CA10NUE ).
The screen lasted 6 days before dying. Just enough time for me to waste getting it perfectly set up before it died. There was nothing to indicate prior to the screen failing that it was going to fail. Turned it off one night and turned it on the next morning and the screen was only displaying the vertical bars.
I'm going to try sending the Laptop back to Lenovo. I actually managed to get through to the Lenovo support - they have quite a good system of dropping the laptop off in a local shop that is then picked up by Lenovo, they reckon to have a turn around of 10 calendar days. I can recommend trying to call the Belgium helpdesk as Lenovo can never outsource the help desk people since they need to speak French and Dutch but usually they will also speak English - start the conversation with "Parlez vous anglais?" / "Spreek je engels?" . Admittedly it will be no use if you need to return the item, but if you just need a bit of technical support it might be a good way to go.

Qosmio DX730 - Screen is not working

Hi,
my screen is not working. I can see that the computer is fine as I can get it to briefly flash into view when I switch the AV input mode, but then the screen just blanks out. I have tried rebooting a number of times, turning off completely, but nothing seems to work.
Any idea on how to fix this?

If your computer works properly in connection with external screen, then the problem could be related to the internal display panel maybe its faulty I said maybe because to find the malfunction, the hardware must be checked by service engineer.
However, from my point of few it could be a display panel issue and this can be fixed only by part replacement.

Screen Rotation not working

I have upgraded my laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Since upgrading the Screen rotation function is no longer available or working. When checking in the property part the following message is displayed. no Pen or touch input available for this display?

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion x360 Notebook and Screen Rotation not working after an update to Windows 10. Here is a link to configure the touch display to identify your screen as a touch screen. The document is for Windows 8 but the procedure is the exact same troubleshooting.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase or that need updating. If your computer is having problems finding and installing operating system updates, try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to fix the problem.Here is a document that shows how to update drivers that are not working correctly with Windows 10.I hope this helps. Thanks.

Ask for password after screen lock not working!?

Ask for password after screen lock not working? It used to work before mavericks, each time my computer display sleep I'm asked for the password immediately. Now it never asks for it?

From 2008 MacRumors discussion:
SOLUTION: Browse to Home>Library>Preferences and drag com.apple.systempreferences.plist to the desktop.
Caused by a corrupt user preferences file. On restart, you may find user settings have defaulted. Set up as desired.
Worked for me.

My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

Hi everyone,
     I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.
