  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description, it seems that you are facing problems while watching Netflix your screen becomes dark. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

  (5) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

• HP HDX 16 t Premium - screen goes black after a few seconds

  Just today my screen started going black out of no where (when I played StarCraft 2, a high-performance PC game.) Now, he's doing regularly (after a few seconds to about one minute.) It's almost as if my computer goes into mode 'sleep' but I can't wake up. This happens less often when I put the brightness of my screen on a lower setting, and tends to fade before going to black instead of going just instantly black. I also have an external monitor attached, and when my laptop monitor goes black the external display remains lit and fully operational.

  Some things to note:

  -The power cord is attached and plugged in, and turned on my computer.

  -J' have a cooling block and my computer is not overheating.

  -The battery has full juice.

  -J' tried to restart my computer several times and still have the same problem.

  -C' is the case even when I'm not running high performance games or programs.

  -My settings to be able to tell my computer never sleep, decrease intensity after 10 minutes (5 minutes for the battery) and the screen turns off after 20 minutes (15 minutes on the battery.)

  -When the laptop screen is on the brightest display settings, it seems to be flickering.

  I did some research and it seems to be a problem with the LCD capacitors going bad. If anyone can check this? If this is the case, is there a way I can replace and where would I do my shopping?

  Thanks in advance

  These are as common as dirt

  Look at page 3-9 for the part number of the inverter.

  Lamp of Duel 496467-001

  Unique lamp 488317-001

  If it's a double lamp, there will be four wires coming out of the bottom of the screen and a unique lamp will count two. You won't suddenly sure until you take it apart.

  You can also Google the correct reference to find a third party retailer and there's the HP parts store, but they are usually expensive.

• LCD screen turns off after a few minutes

  My screen turns off after a few minutes, even if the parameters to be able to say that he should turn off after 60 minutes of no activity.  Before this date should activate the screensaver after 10 minutes of no activity.  But in my case the active screensaver ever and my right monitor fades to black.  What can I do to fix this?  Is there a registry setting that has changed I don't know?

  -penciline

  I checked power options, the first thing, and then I checked the (NVIDIA) graphics card Control Panel to see if there is a setting for it.  The figures that I had in my previous post came from my power options, but I don't know how standard power who do not have the numbers that it would affect the schedule/performance options.  I went to advanced settings.  But I also rebooted my computer which solved the problem, in my opinion.  I'll have to sit and wait to be sure, but I'll get back to you on that once I have test.

• HP DV6 NOTEBOOK AUDIO GOES OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES, ENVY MUST RESTART EVERYTIME I USE LAPTOP

  HP DV6 ENVY LAPTOP PC

  Product number: C2L31UA #ABA

  8, 64-BIT WINDOWS

  Hi, my problem is that my audio goes off after a few minutes, then if I want it back I have to restart the PC and it seems in good condition, but imagine having to restart your computer after you have initially fed up whenever you want to use the PC. The Support assistant says that my drivers are up to date, that the problem may be due to the fact that I didn't have this problem until recently who told me that one of the automatic updates at the origin of this problem.

  In addition, a problem that has never set was my internet inexplicably drops for no apparent reason. Sporadic problem and has nothing to do with my connection as it has occurred in several physical locations. Open Internet explorer by clicking on 'fix the fitting' works after a few minutes, but it is only a band-aid solution.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

• Satellite 3000 - X 4: screen goes black after start

  Hello

  I have a laptop of s3000 - x 4 satellite.

  swiched top upward start then the screen goes black, I can just do the display to see loading, windows
  This happens even if I can get it to boot in safe mode, or when I enter setup.
  If I'm lucky, I have a minute of commissioning until the display changes. and as soon as I restart, I'm square.

  can anyone help? If it is a component, it is easy to find and replace?
  see you soon

  Colin

  Hello

  Have you tried to connect the external display?
  If this is not the case, try it. Also check out the switching between display devices with the FN + F5 key combination
  If this does not help, I would pick up the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied. Also try to improve the shape of the Tosh site graphics driver.

  But if it won't work and you can't see anything on the screen so I guess there must be something wrong with the hardware. In this case only the ASP in your country is able to help you.

• Screen goes black after the connection to the laptop.

  The login screen appears and I can connect.  Then it takes a long time for the computer to think, but it never goes to my office.  The screen goes black.  I did Control + Alt + Delete to close and turn off the computer.  It's a laptop and I had trouble with the electrical cord were staying not 'on '.  I don't do social networks, or open unsolited E mails.  Is there a function key which will solve this problem?

  {t is a laptop and I had trouble with the electrical cord were staying not 'on'.}

  The above should explain more on your part.

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.
