Won't come out of power saving mode

My FPD which I have won't come out of power saving mode. It stays dark as soon as I switch on the PC so I cannot boot it in safe mode. Is it the monitor? Should I just replace it? Just before this problem began last night, my keyboard started acting weird. I have a new wireless keyboard and mouse and I could access the F keys but not the main keyboard(could also use the mouse.) Anyway, I would be much obliged to any light you could shed on the subject as now I have to use my laptop since my Gateway desktop is useless.

My laptop won`t charge unless it`s dead and in an outlet I have not used yet with my laptop

Go to control panel, click on Pen and Touch and follow the instructions. Click on the battery icon, you will see your power options, check on each one to set your power options, I suggest you set it to battery saving mode or any mode you prefer.

Camera won't remain on

It's probably a lens related problem. Blow through the lens to remove any debris stuck inside. Or tap your camera repeatedly while the lens is facing the ground.

My monitor shows image immediately when switched on but just as soon the image appears the screen of the monitor goes dark after that need to off/on the power switch three to four times before the image...

Please restart your computer and tap the F8 key as soon as you see something on the screen. You should get the advanced boot menu. Select Safe Mode from the list.

Let me know if you were able to boot to safe mode.

Flip up screen won,t illuminate. dark

if the screen needs to be wired to the dash light switch it will not change unless the lights are on, if the wire is disconnected it is possible to bypass it making the screen stay bright.
although it would seem more likely that the brightness could be adjusted on the unit settings or by a button on the unit itself

Camera goes to sleep too quickly...is there a way to adjust?

To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation after 3 minutes when the camera is turned on (when the lens cover is open and the monitor is on). No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left on for 15 minutes, it automatically turns off (the lens cover closes and the monitor turns off). Press POWER to turn the camera on.
