Upon resuming from sleep, the monitor goes black

the laptop is actually booting, but the screen flashes on for a sec then goes dark. I can still see the screen and icon to log in, but the backlight is out, and I cannot log in actually. if I close the lid and wait then open it again, it does it again. I takes sometimes 5 times for it to finally stay lit and work again. This also happens if I do a hard boot, sometimes taking up to 8 times with a hard boot. I thought it might be related to the OS so I installed a partition and installed windows but it happens the same to windows. It never goes out when I am working on it, only if I let it go to sleep or power it off and then try to resume or turn back on. Any ideas?

Fix - *Dont give your iMac a static IP*
go to your Main or First routers settings and Give the iMac a SET IP so that it never changes. Then renew your DHCP lease and that set IP will come up and stay there. FOREVER!
I just resumed from sleep and it is not doing it anymore.

I turn my iMac on and it starts ok but after a minute the monitor goes black

I turn my iMac on and it starts ok but after a minute the monitor goes black, sometimes it comes back on sometimes it stays off, this has only happened since Apple replaced the hard drive.

Then, contact the Apple repair station that did the work.

When I go to view a video I downloaded from iTunes the screen goes black and won't play. Tried turning it off multiple times. Still downs not work

Worst part is I am on a plane and now have time to kill as I can't watch my movie right now

Quit the video app and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Launch the video app again and see what happens.
If that doesn't work - go to the home screen again and swipe to the right to bring up the search feature. Type the name of the movie in the search field at the top. If the movie shows up in the search - tap on the icon and hopefully it will start playing. Let it play for a couple of minutes and tap done. go back to the video app and see if the movie appears there. If so you should be able to play it from there.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad and launch the video app again.
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.

Black screen upon waking from sleep

Hello,
I have an intermittent problem with waking my entry-level MBP from sleep; on some occasions, the screen remains black instead of the system waking up and displaying the Finder.
Recently, upon waking from sleep, the authentication dialog displayed, I typed my password and pressed return, the dialog dismissed, the screen remained black, and the wait cursor displayed without spinning.
To recover, I needed to force power down and cold reboot.
system.log (in Console) contained the following entry at the time of the crash.
Aug 14 07:39:51 BF-H-MBP kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify ErrorAug 14 07:39:51 BF-H-MBP kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify Error
The entries surrounding the one above were as follows (the next to last one evidently was the final entry before the forced power down).

Can someone diagnose the problem based upon the above Console entries?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for taking time to post.
My question is different than the one your posting answers.
My question is, what is the diagnosis of the problem based upon the Console log entries that I've posted (rather than "How do I recover from the black screen?")?
Cheers!

X120E Touchpad inoperable after resuming from sleep

hello friends I'm a happy X120E user and a tech [pc's, mac's, lans, etc] - I do all sorts of tasks with my x120e and its been great. I recently "upgraded" my SSD so a fresh new install of Windows 7 was in order. After updating everything I have a problem I did not experience previously at all - not once in 3 years of use.
Upon resuming from sleep [and as far as I can remember this only occurs when resuming on battery], the touchpad/cursor is inoperable, frozen in the centered position, and I have found no way to 'wake' it. I finally have to shutdown/restart to get things functioning again. Keyboard works fine, but not touchpad or trackpoint [either/both].
maddeningly, its not consistent in this. sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
I have seen the same issue with, and without, the supplied Lenovo Ultranav driver installed.
Question: in the X120E implementation, is the touchpad a PCI bus device or a USB device? I see no power plan options [i.e. "Advanced" >"Allow this device to wake the computer"] available via Device properties. There are no pointer/mouse/touchpad options whatsoever under Power Plan Settings.
Will Fn+F8 enable/disable the touchpad on this notebook? or,... should it?

No. Powering off and on again didn't work. My drive is a Seagate 750GB internal SATA drive in a Vantec NexStar-3 external enclosure. I don't think it is a driver issue. After the device removal error it won't mount on my PC or my Mac via FireWire or USB.
What I need to know is if there is some way to connect to the drive and make it mount with other software, using some kind of keystroke during startup, or maybe through terminal or something. I can't even try to repair the drive because it won't show up in disk utility.

MacBook Pro resumes from sleep, but keyboard types symbols as opposed to correct letters

Hi, all,
Having been a mac owner for a few years now, I guess it actually shows the quality of the product that this is the first time I've had to post on this site.
I've recently upgraded from my 2008 model MacBook to an early 2011 model MacBook Pro 17" with Lion. This machine was brand new when I purchased it, and is a very lovely bit of kit.
The problem comes from the sleep functionality. Approximately one time of three, when I resume from sleep, the keyboard will be malfunctioning. What I mean by this is that when I type letters, they come out as symbols instead. I haven't been sharp enough to get a direct mapping of A-Z yet (I will do next time), but these aren't the 'ALT' key symbols (å∂ß∫å˙∂©ß), they're more like this (which is what I typed into Notepad last time this happened) =
ƒ∆∂∆ßåß∂ƒ∂∆ß∆å˚¬ß∆¬ß
In order to resolve this, I need to restart the computer, which, thus far, has resolved the issue every time. That said, it's a bit of a pain, so would like to know what's going on and if there is any way to prevent it.
All the software on the mac is up to date at time of writing, there have been no expansions to the machine (yet), so it's exactly as shipped. It's the 2.2GHz i7 Quad Core device, and is the first one supporting the thunderbolt graphics connector.
Does anyone have any idea about this? Could it be a hardware problem (if so, I want to return it asap to get it sorted). I've looked all over google for this, but not found a single result, so was keen to see if anyone on here had experienced it before I start the arduous process of working out if it's a hardware issue.
Cheers,
SB

No one else experienced anything like this, then?

Dell Inspiron 7537 - Resume from sleep causes various dmesg errors

Hi,
I'm getting various acpi and intel video driver errors upon resume from sleep. The system does come up and I haven't found any functional problems that this is causing. I think the acpi errors may just be causing some devices to drain more power than is necessary. I have tried various live CD's from Ubuntu, Sabayon, and Fedora and they all have these same symptoms. Can anyone help with this, particularly anyone with the same laptop model who may have fixed these issues?
Thanks,
D

I also bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 and I had the same problem as OP, but on Fedora 21 64-bit with Gnome 3.14. I haven't tried any other distros or DEs. However, both Arch and Fedora run systemd, so I think my solution work the same on both systems. I fixed it by doing the following steps:
1. Create a script that reloads the kernel module hid_multitouch.
$ sudo mkdir /opt/touchscreen-fix
$ cd /opt/touchscreen-fix
$ echo '#!/bin/sh
/sbin/rmmod hid_multitouch && /sbin/modprobe hid_multitouch' | sudo tee resume.sh
$ sudo chmod +x resume.sh
Executing this script after a resume will make the touchscreen work again. However, it will of course not run automatically after a resume.
2. Schedule the script to run after resume.
Create the systemd service file:
$ echo '[Unit]
Description=Fix touchscreen after resume
After=suspend.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/opt/touchscreen-fix/resume.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target' | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/touchscreen-fix.service
Enable it:
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable touchscreen-fix
Done! And that's all! I'm not sure if you also might need to restart the computer for it to work.
To accomplish this I used the following resources:

Internal speakers quit on resume from sleep A505-S6005

When the system resumes from sleep the speakers don't work although the headphone jack does. Tried BIOS and Realtek updates with no luck. Phone support no help. It takes a full power down and restart to get them to work again.

PROBLEM SOLVED ITSELF. Still not sure how or why. Ah well.
Whilst I've not had that particular problem, I am having a similar issue. Right speaker is very intermittent right now, although the earphone jack works perfectly in both analog and digital modes. Since I do listen quite a lot via the speakers and this just started tonight, I'd prefer to have an answer soonish.
Although my problem could simply be an issue with heat, that may not be the whole story. Impossible to tell at present. Will be giving the machine an overnight rest, see if the speakers wake up properly. Up to this point, was very happy with the machine. Will be taking to Best Buy to have it checked if the right speaker doesn't play properly tomorrow.
As a writer, I sometimes depend on soundscapes (whether they be music, ocean white noise, etc.) to help me calm my mind to write better. Without the speakers both working, however, I'm left with either earbuds or headphones, either of which can get uncomfortable for in-office use. Anyone have any better ideas?

Everytime I Click On An App the Screen Goes Black then to the Menu

Everytime that I click on an app (except the preset ones from apple), the screen goes black (or to the initial start up screen for that app) and then goes to the main menu. HELP!
PS:
I've tried restoring it, AND removing all apps and putting certain ones back on. Neither worked.

If you are talking about your iphone, then it may be useful to post in the iphone forum.

Odd errors when resuming from sleep

Trying to use my Qosmio in sleep mode, but when I resume from sleep the USB devices all have to be unplugged then plugged back in. The system event viewer logs the following and Microsoft's suggested solution is to contact the manufacturer, which is what I'm trying to do here.

This is for Windows 7.

Slow LAN Networking Speeds after Resuming from Sleep

I use my mac mini as a HTPC running Plex. I have it connected to my Windows media server with 802.11n. Works fine but sometimes after resuming from sleep the network speed drops off to an unacceptable level (from 72 Mb/sec to 5 Mb/sec). Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't help. Switching to G doesn't help. Only restarting the mini restores the connection to full speed.
None of my Windows clients on the same network have any troubles.
Thoughts?

Looks like Plex might be causing the problem. I always have plex running and it appears as though if Plex makes a request for a file on the share before OS X is done re-mounting it after sleep, it kills the whole process.
Shouldn't the OS be robust enough to handle a situation like this?

SP A60: Upon resume from standby, why devices don't work?

Hi there,
A question about my Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 (P2.8GHz, 40GB, Win XP Pro, as factory-delivered and extended with Belkin 54G PC-card wireless network adapter).
When the laptop wakes up from standby, several devices don't work anymore, e.g. the wireless network-card. I haven't found anything to (un)check for Wakeup-On-Lan, resume, power management or anything similar.
After a full reboot, all works fine again.
What could I do to let all devices work the same after waking up from stand-by?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards,
Herman Zandt

Hi Horwath
Indeed not easy to explain. It doesn't make any difference if I use an AC power supply or battery, the same problem happens with both power sources.
I re-checked the whole issue: upon pressing the on-switch on the SP A60 whilst it is blinking yellow (ie. A60 is in standby mode), it reboots perfectly without any errors. All devices work, ie. connectivity wireless card with base station ("excellent"), USB-ports, modem is recognised, touchpad works, DVD/CD-RW reads and soundcard works. (In fact, subject of this email is not correct anymore...)
To be precise, what is NOT working is the data transfer, neither in my internal zone (LAN), nor outside (the Internet).
Summarised: upon resuming from standby, the SP-A60 operates as being purely local without recognising anything outside the machine, despite the wireless network card being properly installed and excellent connectivity with the base station shown.
As said, after full reboot all works fine again. No settings or checks have been found related to this. I'm running the latest BIOS.
Any ideas? A hardware- or software-related issue?
Thanks a zillion,
Herman

P35 - CPU fan reset when resumed from sleep

Hi,
I just got S3 sleep to work where it turns off all fans. The problem is that when it resumes from sleep, the CPU fan spins a lot faster than from boot. I've set it to run at 12,5 % as long as temps are under 65c. I'm guessing it runs at about 50 % when resuming from sleep. It does this until I restart the computer.
Tips?
/Edit; Just checked with SpeedFan, CPU fan normally runs at 1100 RPM, but after resume it runs at 1800 RPM. Any utility I can use that resets this to 1100 after resume?

I ended up disabling fan control in BIOS, so that SpeedFan would work in OS. This means that CPU fan runs at 100 % until OS and SpeedFan har loaded up. Tips to fix this through BIOS or whatever are welcome.

Black screen on resume from sleep using open source AMD/ATI driver

When waking from sleep using systemctl suspend or pm-suspend , I am presented with a black screen. I can still open programs, type, etc. but cannot see what I am doing. I usually just wind up rebooting from whatever terminal I had open, but again I can't see what I am typing. Upon reboot, the screen starts back up again. Everything else seems to resume from sleep just fine, it's just the screen that won't turn back on.
I came from Ubuntu and had this same problem there. However, I only had this problem when using the open source xf86-video driver; when using the proprietary drivers, I was able to suspend/resume just fine. So it seems this problem is specific to the open source drivers.
If I'm using an external monitor, my external monitor will resume just fine after waking from sleep, but the laptop screen will not.
Googling around shows this is a common problem with AMD/ATI cards, and after a lot of attempts and failures I'm interested in knowing if anyone else has solved this problem.
What I've tried so far (without success):
-various quirks included with pm-utils to turn on dpms after resume
-xrandr after resumption from sleep
==xrandr --output LVDS --off (If used without suspending (so while the screen still works) this seems to crash Gnome the first time around, but Gnome automatically restarts. If used a second time, it completely blanks the screen and requires a reboot)
==xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1600x900
-xset dpms force on or xset dpms force off after resumption from sleep
-vbetool dpms off and vbetool dpms on results in error message "Real mode call failed"
-scripts using vbetool or xrandr when resuming from sleep
-switching between virtual consoles and gnome using alt-ctrl-fn-f1 and alt-ctrl-fn-f2 keys
My setup:
-HP Envy dv7
-UEFI dual-boot with Windows 8
-AMD Radeon HD 7640G
-xf86-video-ati 1:7.2.0-1 driver
-Gnome DE using GDM login manager
Thank you.
EDIT: I did try using the proprietary drivers for a time, but found I couldn't adjust my brightness. At first I thought working suspension > adjustable brightness, but I quickly changed my mind after one night of trying to work on an unadjustable maximally bright screen.

Unfortunately I could not fix the problem so I wiped my system and loaded all new drivers before I found this posting.
Is there a way to get the old ATI driver that works? The only one available on the ATI and Lenovo website is the latest one with the problem. I agree with you David, Lenovo should have fixed this problem already with ATI.

Monitor goes black upon ejecting a CD?

Hi, I have just noticed that when I eject a CD from my MBP, the screen goes black for approximately 2-3 seconds and then ejects the CD. It does not go black upon inserting the CD.
I have not experienced any other problems with the drive, i.e. ripping, burning, reading issues. But this cannot be normal right? Didn't see any other posts on the subject in the archives.
Does this warrant a visit to the Genius Bar? Thanks

To narrow things down, go to the System Preferences and experiment with the CD/DVD preferences. It could be that the CD starts up a faulty application, rather then messing up your video-card/monitor setup.

Upon resuming from sleep, the monitor goes black
