Half of my screen is dark, is my monitor 'dead '?

Then I went to turn on my computer today and it happened.

is he dead?

I called Acer support and they had me unplug all cords and hold button power for 30 seconds. I guess that it built a static charge and holding power without cables connected disappates it. It seems fine now.

  • More than half of my screen went dark on my old monitor?

    Original title; Display problem

    The monitor CRT Samsung regarded 56v, old enough, but up to 2 days back worked perfect. Now, the screen is dark on one side (right side and Center too) while most left is normal, the dark side covers almost 70% of the screen. That's the problem with the monitor, or anything else on the CPU Cabinet? Please let me know how to solve this problem.

    The position of the screen has been changed or whatever it is was recently been placed near him, say a speaker?

    Try another monitor and try the monitor on another computer. This will restrict the cause of a failure of the computer video or monitor. The symptom points quite strongly to the fault of the monitor. If so, the only remedy will be repair or replacement.

  • How to resize the screen display to use only half of the screen

    in order to write the information to a website in a MS word document, I want to put the site to display browser so the document MS word on the screen at the same time (each 1/2 of the screen (left and right view). How can I do this? I am technically challenged so tell me in the jargon of the primary school

    I can't test this on Windows 10, but...

    On Windows 7, if you hold down the keyboard Windows key, then press the right arrow key, the currently active window will change its form. By example, if the window is maximized it will change occupying half right side of the screen. Hold the Windows key and pressing the arrow key right to scroll to the right, left and restored/resizable. To maximize, use the up arrow key.

    I hope you can use this keyboard shortcut hidden to set each application to the half of the screen easily without having to manually extendable/retractable and move windows. And it's a cool thing that you can share with other people.

  • iMac 27 "5K retina 3.5 ghz has left half of the screen is black right is normal

    My iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014) 3.5 GHz Intel Core i5 did twice the same. The left half of the screen is black. All the right side works to the login screen.

    Someone at - it ideas? The last time this happened my hard drive has failed.

    I called AppleCare, they said I should have donee that reset a SMC and rest of the STROLLER instead of restarting it. (I'm not convinced that the man knew what he was saying because the screen was frozen at the connection). He said I should wipe my hard drive and reinstall the OS. Then if it happens again, I could call for help.

    The computer has been running a backup time machine during this period. I heard him running. The last time this happened my hard drive has failed.

    You have any ideas?

    John,

    Have you tried all troubleshooting such as resetting the PRAM or the performance of the Diagnostics of Apple? If this isn't the case, that is where I would start. If you get anywhere with either of the people, then you probably have a hardware problem that leads to a repair. If you bought AppleCare and the computer is still covered, then call them.

  • Hospitality at Thunderbird takes up half of the screen, and I can't remove it.

    Since this review popped up, it takes the bottom of the screen, and I can't find a way to remove it. Sometimes when I open Thunderbird, greeting isn't here, but one of my regular e-mails takes up the bottom half of the screen instead. I want to return to a list of emails and read only those that I click on.

    Disable the message pane. F8 it will switch on and outside.

    FYI: whenever you want to change the display of the layout of your screen, look in the VIEW menu. All these options are there.

  • Satellite A105-S361: screen becomes dark gray with gray fine lines

    I have a new laptop Satellite A105-S361 and seem to have display problems. My screen turns dark gray (with fine gray lines) while I use my laptop. This normally happens after using my laptop for 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes. When I restart my computer, I get the Toshiba start screen, and then it works very well for another five minutes before aging again.
    I tried to connect to an external monitor and it works fine.

    I also installed a new BIOS, but I still have the same problem.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi, Ahmed.

    It sounds like a problem with your inverter FL. This is the device that provides lighting for your LCD screen. The fact that you can use an external monitor shows that there is not a problem with your graphics card.

    Fortunateky the FL inverter is not an expensive component and is quite easy to change then I suggest that you only contact your closest partner of Serviec allowed to check your laptop.

    Kind regards

  • HP 15-R006TU: computer HP laptop 15-R006TU left half of the screen has turned white

    I turned my HP 15-R006TU laptop to Hibernate mode before going to sleep last night. Today morning when I turned it on half of the screen was white with a few lines inside. All software and operating system works very well. Its like it has a white cover on the left side of the screen. I can't access start menu because it is on the left side of the screen.

    I turned off my laptop and unplugged the adapter, then turned on again, but it remains the same. I have not changed the drivers or anything recently. I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and I use the dongle Auntie Photon Max for internet. My laptop is only 2 years. I don't have anything I can remember damage the laptop and, finally, I used it, everything was fine.

    What should I do?  How to solve this problem? Virus for this or is - this display problem?

    P.S. I noticed the left hinge connecting the screen with a keyboard part is a little loose... And screen resolution is affected is I move the screen

    PLEASE HELP ME...

    It's the material. Can you connect to an external monitor? If the output is OK outside then we have reduced to a bad display cable or a bad screen. Much more likely the latter.

    You have the 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 screen, which is the most common type. Very cheap and replacing the screen is easier than you think. We will also need to assess the problem of screen hinge and eventually replace the hinge.

    After return with the country you live so interested to continue repair of mutual assistance. We can you link to a video and you will help to find the part.

  • full screen YouTube works on half of the screen

    When it is on youtube, safari 9.0.2 on my brand-new early 2015 macbook proand I select full screen on a video, expected load black screen but then the video loads in only half of the screen.

    There is a temporary fix, it must change the quality to any other quality video and then back again, but this must be done each time full screen is enabled and has a little lag.

    Anyone know a permanent fix or knows if apple are working on it.

    This does not occur with firefox, so I guess there is a problem with safari, not my mac or youtube

  • My screen got darker?

    I have a HP 600-1352 p6100 Touch Screen and have been absent for a few days. The screen got darker and very difficult to see. Can someone tell me please how to fix this?

    I hope you have your monitor set by qualicum now, but for those who find this thread because they have the same problem (like me), here's the fix:

    Reason is unknown as to why the parameters suddenly changed, but (in Windows 7) go to:

    Control Panel > system and security > Power Options > (choose the plan you are working with and) click on "change plan settings".

    There is a scroll bar "Setting brightness of plan" as the last option, move the slider to the right, then click on save changes.

    Your screen will then become it's usual self luminous.

    Hope that helps!

  • HP Notebook 2000 - C2M21UA: half of my screen is of different colors

    Sorry if I answered product not properly information and unclear, but I still hope that someone can help you. Most of the time, half of my laptop displays random colored lines and I have to hold the screen or hit it slightly to him show the full screen. It's a mirical when it actually shows the full screen as now. The slightest movement will cause almost almost half of the screen to go crazy with colors. I'm pretty afraid to move or put down, unless I do to not be on for a while. I've had this laptop for about four years, if that helps. The laptop will sometimes show the colours of the Rainbow only in the middle of the screen rather than the whole half of the screen. One side is always uneffected (left side). It began a few weeks ago, but wasn't a big problem so far. I guess a large part of the House. When transporting from one room to the other, I might accidentally hit (if that helps). I need tools to solve this problem, an expert to fix this, or would it be better to buy a new entirely?

    Hello. Thanks for posting. The description explains well enough that there is a hardware problem (display Flex cable - video connection cable) that needs to be replaced. The cable causes the weird Rainbow colours when the display is moved forwards and backwards. The PC is 4 years old. You can always contact HP phone support to make repair or check locally for repairs.

  • My screen is darker than usual. How can I brighten it?

    My screen is darker than usual.  How can I brighten it.

    If you have a laptop/netbook computer, try your power settings.

    Click Start or press the Windows key and type power but do not hit . Click Power Optionss of the section of the Control Panel in the list above.

    You can adjust your screen brightness using the slider to the center of the window Power Options nottom. Closing the window will keep your new settings.

    It is also very likely that one of the keys on your keyboard (possbily in combination with the Fn key) will increase or decrease the brightness of your screen. See the documentation that came with the computer, the Google brand and the model of the computer with black screen number or it someone here may be able to help more supply.
