Re: monitor won't resume

You don't understand. The problem is that the monitor doesn't come on when
the system comes out of standby. To get the monitor to come on I have to
wait until the little green light on the front of the monitor goes off and
then hit the button on the front of the monitor. The monitor is not shutting
down on its own.

It seems that you are the only responder so far. I find it hard to believe
that no one else has ever had this problem.

Hi Ray...
When you say "had no effect" do you mean that your monitor was still
shutting down on its own?

First, remove your tower case and be sure (carefully) you are free of
all dust and dirt. This should also solve the check of making sure all
cables are firmly connected when you clean the inside and put everything
back together. (Too much dust accumulation equals a build up of heat
and eventual component failure).

Just recently ran by this problem and it was simply a loose cable.

Other suggestions if simply cleaning away dust and checking cables does
not work:
Try lowering your refresh rate. Control Panel, Appearance and Themes,
Display, Settings, Advanced, Monitor. I have mine on 60 Hertz.

Temporarily Disable Hibernation, Set Standby to Never, and Monitor to
shut down Never in your Power Options. Does the monitor act normal after
you change these settings?


Check the properties of the Monitor and if nothing above helps, see what
happens after you configure your settings as above, removing or
uninstalling your monitor from device manager, reboot, let windows
detect the monitor and load the generic drivers. Check the properties
of your monitor and display adapter after you try this.

These are some suggestions with checking the cable and cleaning dust
from inside the tower being the first tips tried.
Post Back. Looking for different solutions shy of saying monitor
failure right now. Because you refer in your first post to the monitor
not resuming only after a lengthier standby, I keep thinking heat.

Take Care...

I'm afraid I must correct my own statement. When the system resumes but the
monitor screen does not, the green light on the monitor goes on and then
after a minute or so, the light turns off. There is no intermediate amber
light.

To Dee:

I tried setting the monitor option to "never". This had no effect. This
not a problem with the power options. I've run this computer for 4 years
with the same power settings and never had this problem.
