How do I wake up my black screen?
what motherboard do you have? If your talking about leaving your computer for
awhile and then coming back and finding your screen black, it may be beacause your motherboard does not support sleep mode. I have a DFI motherboard which does not and had to disable it. |

How do I wake up my black screen?
Hi,
When I shut down my PC using start shut down button, and I restart it, the display doesn't start anymore, it just stays black. Also when I leave my PC for a while so the display turns off, I can't restart it anymore. The only solution in both cases is to hold down the power button for 5 seconds so the PC is turned off and then start it again. I'm running Windows Vista Business and did the Windows updates (which didn't make a difference). I don't think it's a problem with my motherboard not supporting sleep mode, since I didn't have this problem in XP and it's quite a new notebook (Acer Aspire 9412WSMi). Any suggestions or solutions for this problem??? Thanks in advance. Best regards, RoDeNtJe |

(just trying to inject a little humour). But seriously, Acer is simply going to have to release either a BIOS update, or a Vista-capable driver for the display. I have no problems with my two Dell LCD displays. They released newer drivers when Vista was released. -- Donald L McDaniel Please reply to the original newsgroup and thread. ------------------------------------------------------ |

I had this problem and it was when Vista would put the computer to sleep.
Turned out it was the USB keyboard not being compatible to wake the computer. Go into Device Manager and check your USB devices. If you right click on a item, check the Power Management tab and make sure its unchecked. Start experimenting with that and see if it works. "Pricey41" wrote in message ...

Or try Power Options , "Choose when to turn off the display" |
