Monitor just switched off in middle of writing a word document and cant get it to work other than fleeting images when re-start computer

  • Anonymous Mar 02, 2011

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried unplugging and reconnecting and still got the problem. The windows login page flashed up for about half a second and then disappeared into blackness.

    I dont have another monitor but do have a laptop - is it ok to connect to the laptop?

Unplug your monitor from the computer and the wall outlet and let it sit for a few minutes. Reconnect. If your still having problems then try connecting your monitor to another computer if you can. If it does not work, I'm afraid it's time to get a new monitor.
If it does work on another computer, but not your current computer, your video card on your computer may have gone bad.

    Yes, you should be able to use the laptop to test it.

    Plugged in the monitor cable to the laptop and the fixya pages came up (I only plugged in the large cable that links to the desktop - there was another cable in addition to the power cable, a smaller, square one just under a centimetre wide that I had no port for in the laptop).
    Can I connect the desktop to the monitor on the laptop do you know?

    No you can not connect the desktop to the laptop (unless it has an input port, which I've never seen. ) If the monitor is working with your laptop, and not your desktop, that means your video card might be loose or has gone bad.

Dell XPS 140 monitor is blank, however the secondary monitor attached displays floating Windows XP. How can I transfer the primary monitor across to the secondary monitory to be able to use the compu

this is from the manual for your computer. you need to get it on both monitors simultaneously.


When you start the computer with an external device (such as an external monitor or projector)
attached and turned on, the image may appear on either the computer display or the external
device.
Press <Fn><F8> to switch the video image between the display only, the external device only,
or the display and the external device simultaneously.

My benq fp547 says its out of range...the image still shows up but there is a bar in the middle of the screen that says out of range...any ideas?

In windows change your display refresh rate to 60Hz. If you cant get into windows, boot into safe mode by holding f8 after a computer restart and change the settings from there.

How does the 1210 scanner work with Windows 7? I have downloaded the driver for the printer and it works ok, but I cannot use the software for the printer. The copier and the scanner work, but i cannot...

You will have to do a two step process to send a scanned document or image by email; the scan to e-mail button won't work. Scan using either Windows Fax and Scan or Paint. Save your file. Then start (Compose/Write) an e-mail to the person you need to send the document. Click Attach and browse to the location where the scan was saved. The default folder is C:/Users/<user_name>/My Documents/Scanned Documents . Click OK after selecting that image. Finish writing your e-mail and send it.

If you'd like to automatically open the e-mail program, browse to the folder where you saved the fax from Computer (Start button) and right click on the image. Choose Send to Mail Recipient. The new mail compose window should open.

I hope this helps.

(a program like PaperPort may let you send to e-mail recipient without the extra step; however I'm not sure of the details.)

Hp lcd f1532 h

This can happen if the minus button which happens to also be the auto image-adjust button is effectively grounded due to some internal fault or
if the switch itself has got jammed internally. In this case, if video signal is present, the motitor reproduces the image but continuously displays "adjusting" as osd message. If video signal is missing, the monitor cycles through solid colors in the black, red, green, blue, white sequence. I think this is part of the hp f1532 design to help the service
engineer( though I have not found any reference to it in official documentation yet). In this special case( minus button grounded), the
menu button is ignored by the monitor.

No image but only a bright white horizontal line on the middle

Be it a LCD or CRT monitor, in either case, the screen is gone. Either service or replace.

Hi

Pls reinstall the drivers for the graphics card and restart the computer and check if it is working.
If it does not work, then download the original drivers from the computer manufacturer or the graphics card manufacturer 's website and install them. Make sure that you have uninstalled the drivers before reinstalling any drivers.
Also pls look for any updates for the graphics card.
