Hp w2207 monitor randomly goes to sleep randomly, using windows xp

See my tip here: http://www.fixya.com/support/r6820093-hard_drive_or_monitor_randomly_switching

Do you have the correct driver loaded? Are you using DVI output on the computer? Is there a VGA output? If so, try using a VGA cable while you troubleshoot the video issue.

check power options in control panel...........
check monitor turn off is set on NEVER...........
cheers

trixieb1, It's NOT going to sleep mode. Use warranty if possible!! If that not option you will need to read about "cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps" and the voltage inverters that power them. Learn to do flashlight test when screen goes to black or blank n black!!! Read my fixya profile and those of other ccfl back-lit lcd monitor technicians. We already know what is wrong with your unit. And It is a VERY big problem for all LCD monitor manufacturers. Just do some reading before you do anything else. Good luck with the repair. 12fixlouie

I stoped the monitor from sleeping by going into the montitor's menu, management, then sleep. Turn on the never allow to sleep mode. We were having some of your mentioned issues with the icons and with the monitor not waking up. This fixed that. Now the computer will go to sleep and when started the monitor comes on instantly.

try a different monitor, if the display remains blank on a known good monitor, then it is your video card.

Is the graphics on board if so try using a different graphics card to see if this solves the problem.

Hi publicworker,

I had a similar problem whereas my monitor went to sleep mode after a few minutes. I'm running an HP LP 2065 in dual mode with another HP flat screen. However, I did resolve the issue after resetting the output settings.

How to do that:

• right mouse click on the desktop
• select graphic options
• output to
• extended desktop

Maybe some changings/modification will help you too.

Hi,First there is no signal from the PC . check if the display card has come out while moving the monitor, or just reinsert the display card in the PC , then boot the pc .
