Wind PC not turning monitor on

I just bought a new Wind PC but cannot get it to display through the vga adapter on boot-up. I used a Seagate Barracuda 7200, 250 GB SATA drive. CD Player is SATA from Sony. The memory is a 2GB Transend module DDR 2 533. The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 912N that works on other systems. On power-up, the blue light comes on the front, the internal fan spins but nothing is displayed on the screen.

If it is showing that it's working, are you pressing Fn + F2 to toggle display modes?

T520: Monitor does not turn on after boot or waking from sleep

I have a pretty standard T520, the only modifications are upgrading to a larger battery and higher screen resolution (1600x1200), and am currently running windows 7 64bit. Whenever I turn on the machine from a powered off state, or if I try and wake it up from being asleep, 2/3 of the time the monitor will fail to turn on. I am only able to remedy this by closing the lid, letting it go to sleep again, opening it again, holding down the fn key (if that even helps), and hoping it turns on the next time. On a fresh boot, the screen backlight is on, but there is never anything displayed on the monitor, so I cannot even go in to the BIOS. To get to the BIOS, I have to boot normally, repeatedly open/close the monitor until it displays something, reboot, and hope the monitor is still working after the reboot.
The forum posts I have seen on this topic seem to only relate to this problem with external monitors; however, this is occuring with the laptop monitor itself.
Has anyone else had this issue, or know of ways to correct it?

One other note: I am not hearing the hard drive start spinning on the times that the monitor does not turn on when returning from hibernate. When the monitor does turn on, there is the distinct sound of the hard drive starting up, and I can feel a bit of torque within the laptop from the hdd.

HP w2338h monitor not turning on!!!

my HP w2338h monitor is not turning on. My computer is on, blue power button, screeching noise, the whole enchilada. I shook the mouse, clicked aimlessly, then tapped the space bar until the speakers told me to stop. I pressed the power button on the screen. It turned on, and said "monitor going to sleep". Then shut off again. Because the screen was off, Sadly, I had to turn it off with the button on top of the computer ( If you don't know, that is extremely bad for the computer). It didn't turn off. I haven't tried turning the power strip off, and I don't want to, but it seems like my only option.
If it helps, I have an HP Pavilion p6387c, product number #VT650AA#ABA, and an HP w2338h monitor.
PLEASE HELP

Hello Herobrine13922,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you are getting "Monitor going to sleep" message when you turn your computer on. I would like you to hard reset your entire computer by unplugging it from the power bar and from the back of both the computer and the monitor. Then hold the power button on the computer down for 30 seconds. When you are done that do the same for the monitor. Once this is complete plug them back in and start up your computer.
Please re-post if you still require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Monitor will not turn on

After years of good service, my monitor will not turn on when I turn on the MacPro.

I am sorry to hear that.
Tell us some model numbers for your display, your display card, which Mac Pro, and stuff like that and Readers would love to speculate on what the most likely problem (and maybe even solutions) might be.

Backlight of the LCD monitor is not turning o

For some strange reason, my Zen Micro, which was working perfectly until today, ran into a big problem. The backlight for the LCD monitor does not turn off, even when I shut it down. The backlight remains on until I remove the battery. I tried to adjust the settings and even re-format my zen mirco, but it is still having the same problem. Please help! Thanks.

Yes, I have tried everything from resetting to reformating and still the problem remians. I don't know what could have happened to it. It was working perfectly until this somehow happened. Has anyone else recieved this problem? Thanks.

Up-Dated to 10.9.3 and now my 30 inch monitor does not turn on

I just up dated to 10.9.3 and now my 30 inch monitor does not turn on, only my 24 inch one does. But if I disconnect my 24 icy one, then my 30 inch works. this was not happening on 10.9.2. what is wrong?

My problem is fixed. I phoned Apple and they put me thorugh to an engeneer and he epxlained to me how to re-set the PRAM and I did and it worked. Both my monitors are up and running again.
Shut down the computer, when you start it up again after the start up sound press at the same time the ALT, COMMAND, P and R buttons until you hear the Mac start up sound again.
It worked.
Thanks again Apple and omit.

Backlight does not turn on anymore Satellite M70-147

Hello outhere,
The backlight of my M-series M70-147 does not turn on anymore.
I first noticed this when awakening the laptop from standby or hibernation mode.
At first I thought the screen was not working anymore, but when I looked closely I could still make out the icons on the desktop vaguely. So at first I rebooted the laptop and then most of the times the backlight would turn on and stay on.
But now it does not do that anymore, not even when I close the screen (to force standby mode) and then open it again, the backlight won't turn on.
I also looked at other forums and topics what the cause might be, a broken backlight or a faulty power inverter.
So can anybody with the symptons described tell me what the cause might be?
I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with the graphics card because when I hooked on my laptop to my dads LCD monitor it just displayed the desktop of my laptop on the LCD monitor. Also the first time I did this after pressing Fn-F5 a few times the screen of my laptop would come on some times. But now it does not do that anymore.
So can anybody with the symptons described tell me what the cause might be?
Many thanks.

> So can anybody with the symptons described tell me what the cause might be?
For me it looks like a faulty FL inverter.
The FL inverter is a small part behind the display frame and it controls the backlight.
Usually the external display should work properly because the FL inverter affects the internal display only...
However, the issue can be solved only by replacement of this part.
I recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP in your country to get this part replaced

Slimline s3321p display does not turn on after sleep (Win 7)

Upgraded from Vista 32 bit system to Win 7 32 bit because of lots of Vista issues. Win 7 resolved most problems but then recently, after a couple of months, display would not turn on following sleep or hibernation. Couldn't fix so did clean install of win 7 64 bit (custom instead of update) to resolve the problem. But same thing in Win 7 64. Installed the multiple MS updates. MS''s Nvidia display driver install always failed and a couple others I downloaded elsewhere failed as well. Did finally get a recent driver from nvidia's website that installed (9.18.13.697), but it didn't solve the problem. Ran the same as the older driver.
Also tried the following:
-all kinds of power setting changes
-different monitor (flatscreen TV is the normal one I use because this is my dvr/media machine)
-different RGB cable
-ran win 7 install disk to fix any OS problems
-inactivating hibernate
-checking voltage output of all power supply leads following instructions (all within normal tolerance)
-reconnecting all motherboard leads
-swapping around the two 2GB memory modules
-various system checks
-tried to install various Vista 64 bit fixes/updates from HP website, but they don't install ("don't meet minimum requirements")
-and more things I can't remember
HP doesn't seem to have any Win 7 support for this computer, so now I'm at a loss. At the moment I'm leaving the machine on all the time, but don't want to do this forever. I suppose it could be a faulty motherboard, but short of replacement, anything else to try?

Hi,
A couple of suggestions:
Check you have the latest BIOS update - 5.18 - search for sp40834.exe - often these updates improve these functions
If you are game, try just one RAM stick installed as a test, try slot 0 and 1
Lastly, try a different video cable - It's a long shot, but it could be key to the issue
Hope that these suggestions assist

IMac G5 does not turn on after power cord knocked off

I have an iMac G5 that I recently passed on to my daughter. For the past few years it has been working fine except for one occasion that I replaced the power supply. At that time it was still covered by warranty and Apple sent me a replacement unit that I installed myself. Lately, the power cord was knocked off while the computer was on and now it will not turn on completely. It starts for about 15 seconds up to the gray Apple logo then the screen goes blank. I monitored the LEDs and all 3 do turn on then the computer shuts down. At first I thought it's the power supply that was affected with the power cord accident, and bought a replacement unit. I have just installed it but still the same problem exist. I am now asking for help from the expert souls out there to save this computer. Thanks.

No more ideas except to try starting from the install disc and see if that works. Resetting the PRAM might jolt it back to life, it's worth a try, but I am not hopeful.
If you do take it in, please let us know whether it was the logic board...

Screen does not turn on sometimes

hi everyone,
i recently got a t61 and am having a weird screen problem. sometimes when the screen turns off because a) the laptop is idle b) the lid is closed or c) the laptop goes into standby, it does not turn back on. meaning, when i try to wake the laptop up, the screen remains dark. actually, i can see stuff, but its very very very dark, barely visible. the machine is definitely not frozen, it still makes sounds, etc, when i click stuff. sometimes when i close the lid and open (once or a few times) the monitor comes back to normal. sometimes i have to reboot to get it to come back! it doesn't happen all the time, but it's pretty **bleep** annoying. i have checked to make sure i have the latest drivers, reinstalled to factory preset, run pc doctor, an so far haven't been able to figure this out. any suggestions would be much appreciated! btw, how can i figure out which warranty i got? i can't quite remember :-/
thanks,

MacBook Pro Will Not Turn On. Charger light flashing

Hi there all. I am having a problem with my late 2011 MacBook Pro, and I have tried everything. I was wondering if you might be able to help. I will describe the problem in detail:
This morning when I woke up and went to use my macbook, it said the battery was 50%, even though it was plugged in. I use it like a desktop, plugged in to a monitor and plugged in to power most of the time. I usually allow it to drain the battery every few days. Anyway, I rebooted it, and the battery was still going down. I tried various things, like unplugging it completely etc. I remembered that my friend had this problem last year, with her exact same model macbook, and she came to me, and I was able to fix it. So, I thought if I followed all those steps I would be fine. I reset the SMC and PRAM. At this point the battery was showing at 0% when the OS (mavericks) loaded, and then after a few minutes the computer switched itself off completely and with no warning. The light on the charger was sometimes showing orange but didn't appear to be charging after several hours. The battery indicator was flashing 3 times on the first light then fading. It was not turning on at all now.
So, I decided to do what I did to my friend's macbook to fix it. I unscrewed and removed the back cover, then i carefully unplugged to battery from the motherboard, and left it unplugged for about 20 mins. I also pressed the power button for 5 seconds while it was unplugged. I then plugged it back in, and made sure the plug was correctly seated, put the cover back on, and plugged in the adaptor. to my horror, this did not fix the problem, as it did with friend's MB. Now the light on the charger was flashing from green to orange, and there was a sound like a hard drive spinning, also the status light on the front of the computer was flashing white. So, I opened it up again and plugged in the power adapter to see what it was. Actually, it is the fan. Whenever the light in charger is orange, the fan spins, then when it turns green, the fan stops! This is with the computer completely powered off. I tried removing the RAM and reseating it. I have tried unplugging the battery, and plugging the power adaptor in. It still does the same thing. There no response to the power button at all. I tried a number of different key combinations that I found on various web sites, it will not respond to and key combos with the power button. It seems to just be stuck turning the fan on and off for over an hour now. I will unplug it, so it doesn't cause any further damage.
does anyone know of anything else I can do? I cannot afford to call Apple or have it fixed. Usually, I am able to fix these problems in my own.. But I'm not sure what to do now.
Thanks in advance

Can you borrow a power adapter from someone and try that adapter with your machine? That would, at least, solve the problem or eliminate the power adapter as the problem.
If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should be able to get a free test and estimate for repair. It may be something simple, it may be something more complex. But if changing the adapter doesn't work, that's what I would recommend. If it is the adapter you're just going to need to buy a new one - and if you must do that make certain that you order a GENUINE Apple adapter.
Good luck,

WINDOWS 8 SCREEN SAVER NOT TURNING ON

I have a TouchSmart with Windows 8 and the screen saver will not turn on. Will work in preview but will not function. Have tried all available screen savers and applied all with no luck. Any ideas out there?

It was a long shot --
It does seem that if you want to splay a picture on the screen after a certain time, then you should be able to do so.
It might be the same as letting the screen "rest" in darkness, saving the screen, making the world a better place, all of that:
The computer should work the way you expect when the feature is offered to work a certain way.
Just some ideas...
All the settings for your "Screen Saver" should be set to just less than any "dimming" or "display off" settings
Have you tried setting the Screen Saver to "None" and seeing if the screen can at least go to "dark" after the set time? That would be something - it would tell you that the mechanism is working.
Related to Above:
Try setting Background to None, set the time to say a minute less than the time you let the display dim/go-off, Reboot the computer to make sure the setting is "in place", and then test.
Have you tried using one of your own pictures? If you do not have one, try downloading a picture from a location you trust - say from NASA if you are interested in "Things that are Star-Stuff"
The issue may be related to screen resolution vs. the resolution of the photo or "saver" you are trying to use. There may be some sort of conflict. This goes back to choosing either a different screen resolution or a different photo.
Do you have an extra monitor attached? There may be a resolution conflict with the extra monitor if you have "extended view" set and the two resolutions are not compatible in some bizarre fashion. Even if there is no conflict; if you do have an extra monitor attached, try turning if off and see if it makes a difference.

Fan not turning on...

Hey guys, hoping you can help me out.
My fan is not turning on and the case is hot to the touch. Noticed this a few days ago. Usually the fan turns on before it gets this hot.
I have run Cocktail maintenance and I have reset the PRAM, but still no go. I also have noticed that my machine chokes up doing simple things such as swithcing applicationslike from Safari to Mail or Preview. Nothing overly CPU intensive.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

BGreg,
Turns out, my HDD was going bad. I actually found out yesterday morning when my machine froze during boot-up (spinning pinwheel). I booted from my Tiger Disc and ran Disc Utility...Low and behold the "Failure" warning from the S.M.A.R.T.
To answer your question though, I actually did run Activity Monitor during those fwe days and the cpu load was low. I didn't have my Hardware Test Disc since I am on vacation. Also don't have a processor temp application. DO you have any suggestions?
Anyhow, I had to call Apple Care to make sure they can cover the repair of my Pbook while I am on vacation here in the Philippines-which they do since APP is global for portables
NOTE: If you don't have Apple Care with a Powerbook, I highly suggest it. It's worth the piece of mind. My PBook was just 3months out of the 1yr Hardware Warranty.

Power Outage - Apple Cinema Not Turning On

Hello,
We had a power outage and after electricity came back I tried to turn on my computer. The G4 starts but somehow my Apple Cinema does not come on (the light does not turn on).
Any suggestions what I should do to fix it?
Thank you in advance for your help.

G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Unplug the USB and firewire connectors on your monitor cable from the G4. Cycle the power on your computer and hit the power button on your monitor. I think it will now work fine, but it will require you to shut it off/on, like you would for other monitors.
Works for me. The G4/G5 uses the USB port as the communication link to the monitor to turn it off or on. Take this link out of the loop and the display will work fine, but it will now require your manual control. Take a look at the preferences for the display. With the USB cable plugged in, the options tab is seen. Disconnect the USB and the tab is not there (after a reboot). Hence the USB is more than an extension cord to your monitor sockets, its a remote control for the monitor. Note... Apple care has no knowledge of this. I figured it out by unpluging cables and what'ya know, the monitor came to life!

I have had and currently do have a similar problem
with my G4 and Cinema HD display; the power goes out
and the display does not go on.
Typically I have simply had to unplug the Power
Adapter, Firewire, and USB cables, wait a few minute
and plug it back in and the Cinema display’s light
comes on , as well as the display. However as of
yesterday this trick does not work. The G4 does work
with my old Sony display so does this suggest that
the video card in the G4 is OK? Could the 90w Power
adaptor be the problem?
Ideas?
Thank you
