Monitor disconnects / off standby USB connections

I just bought a Dell U2415. Large monitor, nice screen, very happy. However, last night I transfer files from a disk external DRIVE plugged into the USB port on the monitor. When I turned off the monitor to allow for the transfer to occur in the background, it will turn off the player. My data were not serious, but I found it a little strange.

I looked through the OSD menu and noticed that the USB option in the 'Energy' was inaccessible. I discovered (via the manual) that this option is available only when you unplug the cable upstream.

Say what?

I would like to get this right. If there is NO cable upstream, and the USB ports are NOT connected to the computer, then the monitor will provide food to them in standby mode. However, when connected to the computer ARE USB ports (you know, if you can do things with these ports), then the screen completely disconnects these ports of the computer AND power in standby mode.

Is it really the default behavior? Is it possible to be able to go to my USB ports in standby mode? What happens if I don't want my monitor on all day while I do file transfers? What was the point of putting the ports here, otherwise for convenience?

I know, it seems like I'm ranting here and I'm little, but I'm really looking for help with this one. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

Is it really the default behavior?
* Yes.

Is it possible to be able to go to my USB ports in standby mode?
* No.

If you turn off the monitor in sleep mode, the USB hub is disabled. I would never use a USB Monitor to transfer files. I would plug the USB HDD directly into the computer's USB ports.

  • How can I turn off the monitor (e.g., "standby") via the command line at the push of a button (or any other shortcut need not additional software)?

    Hello

    I don't like it when, after a break from work on my PC, the screen turns off as set up through "Power Options" in the control panel. That's why I put the relatively high threshold.
    However, when I know that I will not need the computer for a while, I want to save energy and wish the mode "sleep" could be activated immediately. Turn off the screen is not an option, because it has a USB hub built-in - off completely would be to unplug any connected device. Usually, if the computer has always works and might need the resources connected.

    Ideally, by pressing a button (or start a program or something), the screen would immediately go in mode 'sleep'.

    On systems prior to Vista and 7, IIRC, running a command in the sense of:
    Rundll32.exe user32.dll, SendMessage (HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, 2);
    would do the trick. The dll should run the command to set the monitor to sleep. We could create a shortcut or even integrate the command in a batch file, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on Vista or 7.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to do it on Windows 7?

    I would strongly try to avoid having to install any additional software to help me. (There is quite a little all about, even free applications that promise to do exactly that, but I want to avoid them if possible.) "And I can't believe that this basic that could be done on XP cannot act more on 7!).

    Hello

    Sleep is one thing and switching Off the Display is quite another.

    I found a way to turn off the screen in case you don't have a hardware switch or a keyboard shortcut as in my Dell Inspiron laptop (Windows 7).

    Create a batch with the following script file:

    echo off

    C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe-changer - monitor-timeout-dc 1
    C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe-changer - monitor-timeout-ac 1

    START/min/Wait C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr s

    C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe-changer - monitor-timeout-dc m1
    C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe-changer - monitor-timeout-ac m2

    with the idle time to turn off your screen set in the Control Panel, replace m1 and m2.

    Control Panel > Power Options > any 'Active' diet Plan > change Plan settings > disable the display setting (minutes).

    For example, in my computer laptop m1 = m2 = 30 and 10.

    Now create a shortcut to the batch file and optionally assign a keyboard shortcut and an icon.

    Explanation of the script:

    The first two commands sets the idle time Display Off for the minimum possible setting of 1 Minute for the AC and DC (battery) power. The third command put the system mode blank screen saver 'instantly' and / Wait for the screensaver to terminate application. After 1 minute of inactivity, the monitor turns off power completely.
    The Saver screen/Wait is over by the event of the reactivation of a movement of the mouse button, the last two lines of code will come back the idle time-out settings of origin defined in the Panel view. This to ensure that after waking up, the display does not Turn off all 1 minute of inactivity expire.

  • Pavilion series 6, P6 - 2220t: HP Pavilion P6 - 2220t. All security USB connections are turned off in the BIOS. Need to turn it on.

    I was told that all security USB connections is disabled in the BIOS. The only controls for this PC is USB ports for mouse and keyboard control ect.  How can I get into the bios without keyboard and mouse in operation? There is no other way to control this model computer. The only connections on this PC is only the USB connections. Again, if I can get somehow get into the BIOS I can enable security USB connections as it should.

  • Differences in use vs. Canon Pro-10 Wireless USB connected

    To test my new Canon Pro-10 I have connected via the USB port, last night and printed with it.  The Quick Menu was "compliant" with all the bells and whistles that are showing in the 'corner' box  When I printed it gave me a lot of options for quality and the media - various types of paper, including Canon paper and other documents.  Now that I have connected successfully wireless, my paper options are limited to "photo paper" and "plain paper" and the corner box has only a few icons in and I get a message that a driver is missing for the Quick Menu.  I have re-installed Quick Menu on the Canon site and I still get this message.  Impressions, that I got last night via a USB connection were good - a bit dark but good quality.  I had chosen "another matte paper" because it was a brand of third parties.  Today, I used the same paper and printed one of the same images and it was greasy and completely unusable.  I went to Canon paper and print the same image.  It was much better, but way too dark to use.  I can probably modify the image to fix it, but I wouldn't not to...

    VERY pleased with my Canon experience so far - use an Epson for 8 years, thought it was time for an upgrade and I wanted wireless due to constraints of space around my office.  I would not wait for wireless quality photo prints?

    I have three of these printers in this line.  The 9000, 9500 II amd Pro-100.  Not a Pro-10, however.

    They are all printed differently, but after a bit of tinkering with settings, they all did very well.  They are great printers.

    First of all you do not leave the printer defined anything.  Cut each little out of control there.  You can do it with the Canon My Printer the printer settings tab.  Do you know how?  I think, Yes, for the moment, but if you don't come back to me.

    Secondly, you must have your photo editor to manage all settings and corresponding color.  You know how to do this?

    And finally, it is essential that you get some settings on your monitor which corresponds somewhat to the prints.  Your printer can do exactly what you say to do, and you don't know, it's because your monitor is turned off.  If you don't do this step, you can forget the other steps.  However, there are only a few things that must be addressed.  You don't need for any fancy additional modules to do this.  No also added or gadgets, etc.

    But you must get very narrow gray-scale.  You must get very close brightness and you must close contrast.

    Once you do these things, you can make adjustments to your impressions by looking at just your screen.  Because you know that the monitor and printer are on the same level.  Another point, you cannot get a printer to print all colors exactly as you saw.  It is not possible because all the colors and adjustment in effect all the others.  My goal is to get the right tones.  That's what notice more.

    For example, I know that my most recent Pro - 100 tends to print darker than what I see on the screen.  So I automatically know to set it's prints a stop brighter in Photoshop, in my case.  It also prints with a warn a little tone.  Most of the time, with in particular, protraits cela if OK, but sometimes it is not.  In this case I set the 'temp' slightly cooler setting in PS.

    Make sure that you have the correct ICC profile and that you are using Canon brand ink and paper until you get well with the printer.  Very, very important, otherwise you don't know if the printer does exactly what you say it or not.

    In addition, use the USB connection until everything is just right.  You just add another problem when you try to configure printing a nd the wireless at the same time.  As the use of Canon branded products until it is gone.

  • Mouse USB, connection loss

    I have a HPE170F of desktop running Windows 7 Home.  About a week or two ago I noticed that the USB devices are briefly drop their connections.

    There are a number of ways, it is the case, but the most common is a slight hiccup in my mouse works.  It is even more obvious and boring everything at stake, there will be a break in the mouse works before returning to normal.

    Usually, but not always, accompanyed with the light sensor / on the bottom of the mouse, go to offshore.

    That usually doesn't happen until the program and a computer were aired for a while, and it feels like it is becoming more frequent, more I play, and breaks to lie down in the long term.

    Sometimes I have to disconnect a USB device and plug it back again so that it can work.

    Sometimes, even unplugging / plugging does not work.  Usually when this happens, all USB devices stop working and the computer must be restarted with the power switch.

    I tried several mice in different USB ports (front and rear) with no difference.

    The USB keyboard and a USB drive have similar traits (the player will suddenly disconnect and reconnect).

    I tried with no peripheral USB connected other than the keyboard and mouse.

    I went into Device Manager, removed and hubs USB again detected and disabled the option to allow the computer to turn off the devices.  It made no difference.

    I have run virus scans, auditor system files and verified that everything is up to date.

    Am that I up to this got to be a motherboard problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but it led naturally to a little problem of chickens and eggs.  This HP desktop computer has only USB (wells and firewire) ports, so at some point during the withdrawal of all USB devices, I eventually remove those for the keyboard and mouse, which means of course I have to restart with the power switch.

    I think I can have tracked down the problem, and I think it was a number of things.  I think that my mouse original (the HP base that came with the computer) crumbles.  I don't know why it does this, but my registry contained dozens of entries for my HP mouse (perhaps even one for each time it was unplugged and reconnected).  All entries in mouse are perhaps why the other mice were who have disorders.

    I cleaned the registry and I changed to a mouse of difference and so far I have not seen the problem again.

  • Tecra S3 external drive usb disconnects on all usb ports

    Hello

    I have a Tecra S3 with the following problem:

    When you work with external storage devices, my devices disconnect by them - same (somethimes) after somethimes 5 minutes after 1/2 hour and when working with multiple devices all devices disconnect at the same time, a place of the problem on each usb connection.
    I tried various storage devices such as sticks of memory cards sd with a usb adapter and hard drives.
    How can I tell if the problem is hardware or software partners?

    Greetings,

    Marco

    It seems that your usb devices sometimes need ampere more supplies (500mA max) usb port.
    Establish an external usb hub and connect your storage devices. The usb hub must be active (with adapter)!
    It should work.

  • Gigashot K40 - USB connection mode lights up when

    Hello.
    I have a camcoder Gigashot K40. When I copied the files on my PC, camcorder battery sat. I connected AC voltage, camcoder and continuous copy operation. After that I disconnected PC camera as usual.
    The problem started when I turned my camera next time. When I turn on camcoder, after 2-3 seconds, it entered in USB connection mode (but without text "Mode high speed USB" on the screen).
    http://img9.imageshack.us/my.php?image=k40m.jpg
    Only way to enter normal mode for recording videos is pushing after lighting camcoder menu.
    I tried to do the soft reset, I pushed the RESET button, I tried to reload the firmware - but it does not help.
    Any ideas? I can solve the problem by myself or must I go to service?

    So soft reset didn't help I really don't know what you can try now.
    Call and ask what the problem is here.

    I thought that the rebate to zero must be the solution when the cam is source of confused.
    Please let us know what they tell you.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8: the monitor shuts off and cannot back up to Vista

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 with original Vista. Sometimes, I have some problems with the display (I have the latest drivers).
    The monitor turns off (not as usual but it is gray instead of black) applications flow normally (I hear the music of film, this) but I can't get back into windows.

    When I push button hibernation and I try to go back to windows, I see the blue screen then the computer resets.

    It happens very often and is really frustrating because my internet disconnects and downloads.

    I don't think that the temperature is too high because I think it's cool. How to fix this?
    Maybe some graphics settings or new BIOS?

    Please help me. I can't stand it!

  • USB connection does not work on my computer for hdr-cx260v

    It is a question (especially) on and off (sometimes). I have worked with Sony and have sometimes succeeded. With the help of the 'extra' 16 GB card works to connect and load. My problem is when I use the video stored in the internal memory and using the usb connection. If/when I ever actually loading the data from the internal memory (I have actually already loaded most, but not the most recent), I intend in the future to use only the memory card "exernal. My most recent appeal of Sony said I have no help since the camery is 2 years and more - they send me an e-mail to a site that gives instructions, but the instructions don't seem to solve my problem. I don't seem to have any connection problem "devices" of my USB ports.

    When I connect the camcorder usb to my desktop (using different connections of USB drive) pc, my computer does not recognize the fittings of the. When I use another card memory USB for same usb connections, the computer recognizes the drive. There have been a few times when the camcorder has acknowledged the connection of the camcorder (most recently on June 12) - but this does not occur at thie time. If I take the memory card 16 GB additional of the camcorder and connect it to the connection of memory card, the computer has always recognized it.

    My problem is trying to get the video from the cameras internal memory via the USB connection.

    I think if/when can I get these loaded files, I have the intention of is no longer using the internal memory of the camera and always use the extra memory card.

    Stone

    I realize that if I could have the laptop recognizes the usb connection, I could manually copy video files myself, even if I think THAT TDC would have also worked in this case.

  • HP 2009v: monitor going to sleep after connecting to a new PC

    My parents have an old pc (HP Pavilion g3770l) that runs on windows XP and a relatively old monitor (HP 2009v). They work perfectly fine, but since his Win XP in most applications no longer work and is not fast enough to support new BONE. So I bought a new PC (HP 8200 Elite SFF) with win 7 pro 64-bit installed.

    But when I plug in the monitor to the new PC, I get the message "monitor going to sleep" and the monitor turns off. PC turns. (I can hear the windows startup sound etc.). I tried the menu on the screen to change settings etc but it does not allow me to do. It just goes to sleep.

    Combination of old monitor old pc still works.

    Please help it was supposed to be a Christmas gift.

    This unit may have many configurations, but is it possible that there is more to a port monitor (video output) and that the monitor is connected to happens to be inactive?  This can happen if the camera has built-in graphics card and also a video card is installed.

  • Monitor suddenly off past - Satellite M70

    Hello

    I bought an M70 Satellite a few days. While suddenly using System Monitor turns off like Eve, but system is still active because I can hear the sounds, etc, when I press keys on the keyboard. It does not come even if I move the mouse or press the keys etc. I only managed to get the display by sending the system in standby mode and reopen. It seems that the monitor remains powered but black. I had the same problem when you use ubuntu linux on system so I don't think it's a driver problem. Also I tried to update the bios, but I already have the current version. I'd appreciate any idea about it.

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to say what the problem may be, but first check all (monitor power off) power management settings and other things that can cause switching off monitor.

    If your camera has the factory settings it should not happen. Try to change the settings in the management of the power supply for standby and hibernation. Test extensively and if you think there may be some problem please contact your local dealer.

  • Interruption of the USB connection when restarting a computer

    When the computer restarts, two USB DAQ devices are not visible in LV or MAX.

    To get these devices (USB-6210 and cDAQ 9211 with single chassis USB) for you sign up, I need to disconnect and reconnect the.

    Is there a way to get the LV to see devices without physically breaking and the USB connection?

    Carmen,

    It is a problem that we have seen previously, mainly when the OS loads, all the material is detected. In some cases USB devices are detected, but the BONE did not complete its driver loading process, causing a race condition. You are able to recover only when supply you either cycle the USB device or disconnect and reconnect the device.

    I had read the following article which explains how to force windows to delete and detect a USB device.

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/1D120A90884C25AF862573A700602459

    Then I would create a batch file that runs each time the computer starts.

  • U2413, no USB connection, insert an SD card

    The issue seems to be the same as in this link:
    en.Community.Dell.com/.../19629584

    I got the Dell Ultrasharp + X-rite i1 Display Color Calibration work for some time (I use a Dell laptop), but now the calibration SW complains about the connection of the USB cable between the monitor and the computer so I can't start the measurement. I reinstalled the SW DUCC (the Windows 10 Monitor driver, both of the "drivers & download" section of Dell), reset the screen (using the attached link procedure above). I even bought a new USB cable between the computer-screen, but it does not help.

    Please note that the screen works as such by the displayport and the DUCC SW recognizes the measuring instrument real i1 Display, as it says that the device is ready.

    I have been upgraded to Windows 10 since the last time I performed calibration successfully, but as I downloaded and installed the compatible files (see above), it should be ok. SW DUCC did a check for later versions of file and I was prompted to install v1.5.12.18922 | Version of DRX: 2.4.0.1, but the problem remains the same.

    Please advice, I count on this to my ongoing photo project.

    After some reading more, I discovered that someone has managed to solve this problem by inserting an SD card into the slot of the monitor. Magically, this in fact active USB connection between the monitor and the computer. Now everything works normally (i.e. both the SD card is inserted).

  • Windows 7 double monitors - turn off a monitor causes Office to reorganize resulting in substantial losses of productivity.

    I have 2 monitors connected to a card nVidia FX 580 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. A monitor is linked via DVI and the other through DP (Display Port).

    If I turn off the monitor of the RFP, I hear the windows sound indicating the material has been "deleted." When I turn on the monitor, I hear the sound of new hardware, windows re - detects the monitor as if I just installed it and my layout any icon on the desktop and all the windows, I had open are then all rearranged and takes a long time, re-organization to come back to where I was.

    I leave my PC on 24 hours a day for several reasons - and for years have always just had my monitors turned off when you are not using it.

    I need to be able to turn off my monitors without windows deciding that I "removed" a monitor.

    I work for a software company of medical imaging, where we provide the complete hardware and software solutions for use in radiology departments in hospitals. These systems are usually 3 or 4 connected monitors, all via DP these days. Due to the possibility of the desktop users get messed up, if they happen to turn off a monitor, we can not install systems with Windows 7.

    While many may see this as nothing more then a disadvantage, it is a show-stopper as what we concerned. Yet as I have not found a viable solution to this problem.

    So here's the question: how to disable this new behavior in Windows 7 and allow him to understand that the monitor has not gone away and that the Office should not be changed simply because the monitor is off?

    Thank you.

    I wrote a small utility to fix this problem. It is still very thrown together, but Open source, so you can compile sources if you have security problems.

    I hope it works for you!
