Black screen I inherited an old computer and had to get a monitor for it. The monitor didn't work well with it, so the guy told me to disable the display adaptor. Why I don't know. So now when I turn the computer on, I get a black screen. So obviously I can't even see where I am going to re-enable. I tried the voice narrator and am getting no where. Is there a solution to this problem???

NO monitor model nor PC told. ok.
the means PC is dead. NO SIGNAL
to test the AOC monitor or any monitor.
turn it off, then back on an UNDER 15Seconds
push menu KEY on the Monitor, and see OSD menu next,
this proves monitor works, see?
then in the same menus OF MON, tell it what video cable port you
are using (not stated)
the PC are the fans working>? must.
is the video cable plugged in to the correct port>
if the PC Desktop (is it) fitted out with a GPU video card these ports must be used no the Motherboard,port.(as those are off line)
all you have told is AOC and black, we can no see what you have there.I have monitor connected a NVR camera system too.
NO PC told or photos of the rear (video end)

the manual on your unstated monitor will show, the OSD setting for
reset colors and for reset the whole thing sure does
google he model and say manual finds it for free, on any monitor.

PC is stuck in sleep mode. no PC told? no OS told
but
where are these touch buttons (yes monitor manual told me.)
11 year old monitor , is PC 11 years old too? non told.
monitor is samsung P2770 (2010 ) made
the model has letters at the end of 2270, that tell helper what ports it has. (vga,hdmi,dvi,DP,) not told what yours is connected.
1920 x 1080 max reso

try the monitor on other good PC too see if the monitor has problems or not, easy way to cut the problem cause in half.
the monitor manual below shows hot to do OSD reset inside it.

old monitor , no PC stated, nor cable used < VGA>
test this old monitor on 2nd PC, if fails the monitor is bad.
it is 14 years old today, 2005 made
all this old are bad the toxic CCFL lamps go bad long ago.
best is the recycle center, it and buy only monitors and laptops
2010 or newer, or you get CCFL backlamps again.
the monitor this old has near zero street value, and repair costs are huge, nobody puts $1000 saddle on a $5 15 year old horse,
The CCFL panel can cost $100 and 1 to 2x that for labor
a used monitor is like $40 ,even walfart sells them called refurbs.

This link may help. You can try to do something if it is connected to a computer. If not, you can disconnect the video cable from both end and wait for 5 minutes and reconnect it. After your monitor wake up, use your OSD to disable sleeping mode, hiberation mode or turn off monitor mode within power options.

I think the guys at www.securedata.biz have a fix for that.

larry946, Sorry guy... Your power supply is not OK!!! I'm talking about the one inside the lcd monitor!! It seems as if it is detecting a "FAULT CONDITION" and then proceeds to go into "partial" or "full" shutdown mode, trying to avert a catastrophic, nonrecoverable failure. e.g. sparks smoke, fire. Partial = black screen with data still visible when flashlight held 1 inch from screen. Full = black and blank screen. What will you do now? The only good thing you told me was "WORKS GREAT FOR A FEW SECONDS" !!! That makes it a good CANDIDATE for a low cost repair if you do a DIY fix. If StarLogic warranty has expired and they don't have a "cash+old unit" swapout program for a refurbed unit, you will need to explore all your other options. Read thru my FIXYA profile and you will soon discover that your StarLogic unit is no different than any other CCFL backlit LCD monitor. Follow the links to the other websites you find in the profile to help you make the decision to DIY or contract out (more$$) the needed repair to your unit. READING is free!!! So do a lot of reading, and you will be better informed and not subject to getting ripped-off for $90 when it should have been only $25 to $45!!! Good luck with the repair! 12fixlouie or old aka louie12fix

Hello!

I see many monitor with that trouble.
When you turn on comp., you can have a picture on monitor about 10-30 min. and that go in black screen, or If you change resolution again go in black screen.
You must repair monitor or bay another.

If it worked on a computer at the IT person, it is most likely a faulty graphics card in your computer. You may want to get that checked out.

Just press select button for select correct input connector. PNP no driver required.

I would start up in safe mode, and disable that driver. It sounds like it is a bad driver on your new pc. Then turn off the pc, hook up your new monitor and start up fresh. Your pc should automatically find the best compatible driver for you. If this won't do, can you please list the driver you did use? Maybe we can search for another one that would be compatible with your model monitor.
