Where do I find info on computer to set power monitor..I don't want it to turn itself off when I leave it for a few minutes. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron and it is a great computer. Never a prob

Computer does not boot up The problem maybe the RAM, it could be faulty or just needs reseating to make proper electrical contact.
Reseat the RAM and then boot up your laptop. If it still does not boot up then remove the RAM module/s and take them to your friendly computer repair shop and get them to test the RAM for you. Just like you sometimes need a mechanic to repair your car, sometimes you do need a technician to diagnose and identify the fault or faults on your computer. Not only does a good service technican have the experience to deal with this type of problem, they also have the equipment that allows them to look at things the average computer user can't see, and he has a collection of replacement parts that can be used to quickly test individual components on your computer.

not it isn't the card
go to control panel , display and personalization, click on the display , click on the monitor (1 or 2) and adjust the pixel size by sliding the knob to the desires screen size
click apply and ok
after a few minutes you may get a message saying are you happy with the setting --will revert back in 10 seconds ---you just press apply or ok and that saves the setting

seems simple enough, go into your computer power settings through control panel and turn off standby mode as well as hibernation. set it to be on all the time. if you're using the syncmaster i assume you're talking about a desktop computer and not a laptop, if that's the case and the syncmaster is lcd, then you don't really 'need' a screensaver but if you want it to hide your desktop while you're not there you can add a screensaver for fun :P

If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LEDflashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faultyinverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow myinstructions to identify the fault and possible fix :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3598095-faulty_laptop_lcd_screen

Probably your laptop must be heating up ....open the laptop and clean it if possible else contact dell support

It could be the light itself has gone bad. If it's no problem, just keep using it.
If you don't have enough to keep you busy, you can take it apart and replace the LED.

Just in case the monitor is not te problem, why don't you try this.

For (xp)
-Go to desktop
-right click and click properties.
-screen saver
-power
-then set all the drop down list box to never
-click apply.
You can try it on other operating system.
-go to controls
-look for display and follow 2nd step on xp.

Hope this help. Thank you for using Fixya!

go into power settings and set it to never go to sleep. and even change the settings on the monitor to sleep too.

Sounds like you've done all the trouble shooting. If you just need that extra nudge, I would agree... it sounds like you'll be needing to shop for a new monitor.

Check your Power options in Windows.

right click on the desktop. select properties, Gop to the screen saver tab, click on the power button at the bottom right and check to see if its set to turn off or standby the monitor, turn this off.

Keep the screen saver on and set it for like ten minutes.

Also, on the monitor itself, it may have a sleep or power save option set as the default. check all the monitor settings on the actual moniotr itself.
