    Monitor always shuts off
    « on: September 17, 2008, 07:20:36 PM »
    Hey I'm having a problem with my monitor. Well there is 2 problems. The first one is that the top half of my monitor is darker than the bottom half. Like a lightbulb died inside but that doesnt matter, i can still see fine. The major problem is that at random times like every 30 seconds it turns off and i have to click my sleep button to turn it back on. SO i think my computer is going to sleep but why constantly? and even when im on clicking and typing stuff it still turns off.

    Can anyone help me please

    Check your Power Saving options in Control Panel...
    Sounds like the monitor is getting ready to head South.

      everything in my power savings in control panel is fine. you know how like when a monitor goes to sleep, the power button or a light on the monitor turns orange or some other color or starts flashing and u gotta move the mouse or press a key to bring it back. its not the same. my green light which means its on stays like that after it turns off and i cant just press some key. i have to press my sleep button.

      and even at different times it doesnt turn back on when i click the sleep button and i have to click the power button on my monitor but than everything freezes.

        yea but sometimes if freezes...

        maybe its my PC?

        oh and btw im new here and im surprised to see the username chubby wasnt taken lol...

        yeah but seriously, why would my computer freeze at times. Like when I try to click caps lock on my monitor, the light under caps lock on the top right corner doesnt come up and it jsut stays like that.

        So, summary, Other monitors don't work on this computer but they work fine on other computers.
        The monitor turns off after 30 seconds.
        The keyboard isn't working properly.

        Anything else we should know?
