Hi. When I turn my computer on the screen says "Monitor going to sleep" and I can't do anything but look at a black screen. I don't know how to fix this can you help? (I'm on a different computer right now.)

Hi,
I assume this is a Desktop computer:
The Monitor receives, graphics or text from the PC (personal computer) and displays it on the screen.of the Monitor.
If you see a message on the screen that says * NO SIGNAL * in most cases the Monitor is good, and the Monitor is either not connected to the PC or there is a problem with the PC Check the connections and the video card.
The problem could also be related a failure of the motherboard, memory or the processor

Let us know..

If you turn the monitor on with no video cable attached you should get a message on the monitor "Going to Sleep" or "No Signal" if you don't get anything like this the monitor is probably bad. If you can see a message and it is very faint it is an inverter or back light, usually the first in the monitor that is bad.

They usually go off when the don't detect a signal from the computer, make sure the connection is ok between them.

No pc stated just monitor. (not even desktop or laptop) stated.
no OS stated, ether.
so ill answer in wide generic ways....
all computer are a problem, since days of Mr. Allen Turning to now.
ive done 43years of them just puters.(and other big systems MIL)
no person on earth can answer that common question
gee no pc stated,! nor can we lay blame until its fixed can we. ever.

3+billions of transistors. mine here typing now.
4,800,000,000, and friends, lots of other things to fail even LCD
its not a toaster or 4 banger calculator, at all.
its COMPLEX but 1 of those 2 boxs or cable are bad. sure.
(viewed in the MACRO)

sleep? how do you know it is sleep.
the screen showed that. text said SPEEP?
is the screen totally dead. (that is not sleep if true)
is the screens OSD button dead?,
the only clue i have here is one word, REGISTER (good word just too few)
so the screen never ever shows any text or HP logo ever
booting with monitor on for 5min. power on PC, see words?
no text ever...so.

then push the monitors.
Select menu buttons on front of monitors. and the OSD pops does it , it must....!!! see image below (mine is Viewsonic, near new)

there are many simple tests here.

• try you monitor on any other PC
• or try you pc on any other monitor

easy no.?, just 1 or 2 tests and bam, who's bad.
called the process of elimination..
but OSD is first. no matter what,.

if the screen tests ok,, (display tests and its buttons)
then the PC is problematic, (1/2 the battle won)
the first thing to do (tell me what pC) but turn off all sleep
modes in the CONTROL PANEL + POWER SETTINGS>
do that first. if you can even get the screen to work.

A pc never boots to sleep so.....
the PC can have 2 VGA jacks on the rear.
the PC can have DVI jacks, using those are you
try them all yet?
if you test the PC and it works and the screen works the cable is bad.


omg that screen is new, its even sold now at walmart.
not cheap either, too much, kinda
this is a modern 22" screen, LED>
and do not just go bad, is the power pack there and correct?
if the OSD screen is dead, check power first.

this is the Monitors brain, it works even with the PC dead.


the button is marked menu or select. this is test1.
on my monitor ,heck all 2004 up
it tells you SLeep mode when the PC goes to sleep mode
or shows Power saver mode. live on the screen.
screen power on first sure.

all ways to go black done here.

Your computer is in sleep mode, a low power mode that conserves power by turning off the screen and hard drive.

Push the power button on the system and the computer will resume.

If you don't like this feature, you can turn off sleep mode in the power options in Control Panel

If the computer is turning on but the monitor is not getting a signal it sounds like your video card is bad. Fairly easy and inexpensive fix. If you could supply the make and model of your computer I could let you know the card you need and supply installation instructions.

its a very very old monitor,so old in fact , you PC then had no sleep modes. so its inside the monitor, this old
so push the menu key on front of monitor and turn off
sleep/powersaver. ,
no the manual is only, you do know fixya is not HP right?
nor are we COMPAQ
did you leave off works in front if the 1501, HP made types with just that 4 digits.

Compaq 1501

L1501 and TFT-1501
read the service tag on the monitor and see the real full name
then post that for 10x better answers even the book.

I FIX LOTS OF COMPUTER, AND MY ADVISE IS. IT MIGHT BE YOUR COMPUTERS VIDEO CARD CAUSING THAT PROBLEM . ALSO CHECK FOR VIRUSES THEY CAN DO STRANGE THINGS.

You must go into the BIOS of you computer and turn off the sleep mode and also in windows. Disconnect the monitor and power it on without hooking it up to the computer. If the monitor turn on and is working , then hook it up to the computer and try with with the sleep controls off to see if it works correctly.If this works you must check the owners manuals of the motherboard and monitor for the correct operation of the sleep mode functions.Then reinstall the sleep mode operation and see if everything works correctly. If the monitor fails to work. Try the monitor on another computer and see if it will function. If all this fails to get the monitor working , then you will need to have the monitor tested in a service center to find the problem and have it repaired. You should also check your computer on another monitor just to maker sure you don not have a problem with the computer too. Hope this helps you with your problem.

Hi, I used to repair a monitor from Dell. You might have to check what wrong with your monitor when it went back by shining a flashlight into the screen, not directly but find the best angle to the screen and take a look very closely. If you can see the icons or any image, there will be a minor problem like broken lamps and it is very easy to replace. But the most important part is you need to know how to teardown the screen. . If you cannot see anything on the screen, there'll be some problems with inverter board. If you have soldering tool and want to fix it by yourself, check the caps first. It may cause this problem. Some caps might show leaking or burn spot on the board because of too high temp. If you don't have soldering tool, you better go get a technician to do so.


Hope this help you to examine your monitor. If there is anything I can help you with, feel free to let me know.
Thank you,
