| 1226436 | 2011-08-27 21:47:00 | I thought it was loose cables the first time. Booted up and I had a black screen. Not black as in it's off, black as in nothing showing but LED on monitor was indicating on and OK. Messed about a bit in the wrong direction until replugging it's power back in fixed it. Now I notice it does it every so often, if I switch power off then back on it's happy. It's not in sleep or anything, it won't do anything at all with buttons on monitor, it's a bit weird. It's also a bit worrying - monitor on the way out perhaps? |

| 1226437 | 2011-08-28 00:26:00 | I have an AOC monitor that does that sometimes when I reboot, have to power cycle it to make it work. I figured it was some quirk to do with how the HDMI interface works. Not helpful I know :) |

| 1226439 | 2011-08-28 04:04:00 | It's associated with Energy Saving is it ?? ... and I'm not referring to sleep / standby, etc. Can't remember where to find the settings though ... | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1226440 | 2011-08-28 04:04:00 | Back light problems? If you look very closely (or shine a torch) at the screen, can you see the desktop/login window? | Jen (38) | ||
| 1226441 | 2011-08-28 04:16:00 | Sorry .... that last post should have read ... "it's NOT associated with Energy Star power saving is it ?" | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1226442 | 2011-08-28 04:27:00 | Doesn't seem to be backlighting - can't see anything. I turn the PC off at night, and the monitor (with it's own on/off button on front). Sometimes I turn it on and it's fine, sometimes not. |

| 1226443 | 2011-08-29 03:41:00 | If you can't see any image when shining a torch at the screen it suggests that the video circuitry is crook. If you can see an image, the backlight is crook. | linw (53) | ||
| 1226444 | 2011-08-29 05:14:00 | OK, I'll wait for it to die. Thanks. | pctek (84) | ||
