Why does my Palm Vx screen fade to black?

The screen comes on for a split second before fading out as if the contrast were set all the way up.
Any suggestions, theories, comments or urban legend causes and solutions are appreciated.
Thanks

hi tom. someone posted a solution for my problem. i think it's the same for your problem.
on the top of your palm there are two buttons. click the one on the left. it will bring up the contrast control at the bottom of your screen. slide the control thingy to the left and the screen will become bright again!
let me know if it doesn't work.

  • Why does my Mac's screen suddenly go black?

    Whenever I'm using my Macbook Pro, the screen will sometimes suddenly go black. It does it even if I'm doing different things. It' not hard to get it back on, I just have to click the mouse or press the space key a couple of times, but then the mouse doesn't work for a couple seconds. It's not that I'm not using it (I know that if you don't move the mouse for too long, the screen goes black), there's definitely something wrong with the computer. What should I do? Thanks!!

    You can also check your Energy Saver "Display Sleep" options. 
    Depending on your model Macbook Pro, this may apply - MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video.  Affected computers were manufactured between April 2010 and February 2011. 
    MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues .  The affected computers  were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008. 

  • Why does my iMAC (mid2011) screen suddenly go black?

    Even though the machine is not being run hard or taxed, nor is the temp particularly high, the screen will suddenly go black.
    If I then send it 'to sleep' and press a key display acts normally until next time - there doesn't seem to be any pattern to this, nor does it happen under specific applications?
    Been happening on and off for a week now and unable to find any solution as
    Help/advice please-rather worrying!!

    Part of the many problems with the LG panel in it. The solution is to have the display replaced which is quite expensive. To find out what the options are take it in for a diagnostic test.

  • Why does my ipad 2 screen keep randomly blacking out?

    Ipad 2 just screen randomly blacks out. As I type this ? it has done it twice!

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't correct the problem make an appointment at an Apple store to have the iPad looked at.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to d

    Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to do is view it ?

    My local computer shop solved the problem. Apparently when you download cloud it changes a lot of settings.
    So second issue.
    Why do I now get asked to burn to disc rather than saving to my hard drive when I want to export from Lightroom ?

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • Lenovo G360 - Screen fades to black

    The laptop screen will fade to black while in windows. The laptop is still on but the screen picture is gone. Its not the battery becuase its a new one. The only thing that brings the screen picture back is after I have put the laptop in the refrigerator for 10+mins. What does that mean? Will a cooling pad do the job or is in more internally. Pls Help with some options!

  • Screen fades from black to grey then into white.

    Ive had my iphone for 3 1/2 weeks Out of nowhere my iphone 4s got all weird. My screen fades from black to grey into white. ive tried to reboot it it doesnt work. i also pressed the middle button and the power button for like 10 seconds and nothin happens. it turns off sometimes when i press the two buttons.
    Then it just turned on like it supposed to, a few hours later it happened again. it all happened yesterday. then today i got on itunes to restore the phone to see if it works better then then while it was syncrnizing eerything into the phone it happened once again. i really dont know what to do! has anyone had the same or a similar problem? would it work if i just restore it and just make it a "new" phone ?
    sorry my grammer isnt the best lol

    While in the B/W desktop go to the System/Accessability preference pane and check to see if this checkbox is selected:
    If it isn't toggle it on and then off again and see if there's any change.

  • Why does the Palm Centro save my files as .php files?

    Okay so I've been trying to download files from the internet and save them on my Centro. When I click on the link to download it, it shows the file as a .doc file which is good because it's a microsoft word file. but then when I actually click "Save", the file changes to "download.php" and I can't open the .php file on my Centro. So my question is, Why does the .doc file change to the .php file? And more importantly, how can I save the .doc file without it changing to .php?

    Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums.  Any Palm device is going to convert any file saved to it to the format it needs to be able to read it.  For .doc files, word documents, you need docs to go which comes with your centro for free. Docs to go 10 is required for office 2007 and is available free for a centro, go to www.palm.com/us/support  select downloads under support & downloads then select a centro and you will see a link for bonus software on your cd.  Find docs to go, download it to your computer and install.  Then sync which will update and/or install docs to go 10 on your computer and your centro.  Once that is accomplished if you want to put a office file on you centro you open docs to go on your computer, add in the office file and sync.  After that if you update the file either on the centro or on the computer then sync both files will end up the same after the sync.
