The screen of my laptop not turn on after being in mode 'sleep'

Let me start by saying that I am a novice in computer repair, so advice please put in laymon's terms! My problem started a few weeks ago, when my Dell inspiron 1526 would not resume when I opened the lid of the laptop.  (I rarely have to cut the power, just close the lid) When he started to arrive, I have to cut the power and turn off several times to get my computer to come back.  I did research on the internet for a solution (because I had resorted to all leaving the lid open).  I found one that worked for me... I did the following:

Click on the start menu, then right click on "computer" and click Properties.
Click the Manager option of devices on the left.
Under "System devices", one of the first should be the appliance close the lid.  Right click and click on "Update Driver Software".
Click "Browse my computer...". ", and then"Let Me pick from a list... ". »
Uncheck it "Show compatible Hardware".
In the list on the right, scroll down, select Manager of Volume and click Next.

It was running great until the other day when I accidentally clicked on the Start button and then put the computer in mode 'sleep'.  Well now the computer screen lights up not at all.  All my family and I spent the weekend all put under tension of the laptop then turn it back, nothing will do.  I am now in panic mode since I use my computer to work from home as well as to take some college courses online! I found a lot of advice on this subject, but all of them are to be able to actually see what is on the screen! I need to know how to put the screen on the first!  I tried to take out the battery and unplug it but that no longer works. I know the computer becomes power b/c I can hear fans and restarting, but the screen does not light.  Help, please! From what I read it seems that it is a big problem with windows vista users!

Hello

Since it is not initialize, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more help with this.

    Ok. First called TASK bar, toolbar not.
    Now, your statement is confusing.
    You see the Volume icon in the taskbar? Yes or no.
    If the answer is 'no', use the following tutorial.

    Depending on which version of Vista you have, use the method two or three.

    When you have completed the tutorial, reboot the machine. Follow these simple steps to get your icon in the task bar:

  • Windows 7 Professional SP 1 retail copy that was purchased from the Microsoft Store will be not turn on after several re - installed.

    I get very frustrated with the activation tool. My Windows 7 Professional SP 1 is a copy retail that I bought on the shop online Microsoft a year ago. At one point I had to reinstall my operating system several times on the same machine and now when I try to activate the copy it will just accept his authentic product key 100% (from Microsoft online store right?), so now, every time when I re - install, I have to contact Microsoft to activate it. I paid $300, I got a receipt from Microsoft as evidence and since my time is money, I don't want to call them every time when I want to re - install and activate MY COPY to the Windows DETAIL. When I call the Microsoft Support next time, anyway they will have to give me a new copy of Windows 7 Professional SP1 with a working product key, or everything just refund my money.

    I would recommend that you try activation of phone since you reinstalled several times:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
     
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    In the future, in order to avoid having to reactivate every time you reinstall. I recommend that you create a backup copy of your Windows 7 installation after you enable it. When you want to reinstall Windows7 in the future, simply restore the active picture.

  • The computer screen does not turn off after the specified power Options

    I tried several ways on trying to turn off my monitor of my laptop through the options of food and the use of some applications such as nircmd but nothing works every time. I'm sure it can be a program I am not using a device. I have a wireless mouse plugged into a USB port, but I know that's not what is keeping the PC awake, as always happens when it is not plugged. The thing that bothers me is I don't know how to identify this process shut off and I tried to put end as many process I can safely or those that I am knowledgeable in the subject to close. I would really like this feature back. Thanks in advance for the answers and ask if all the details are needed.

    I understood what was the 'problem '. It turns the screen of my laptop never turns off if my laptop is installed on a sloping surface, because it assumes that I'm working on it. When I went to bed my laptop on a flat level surface, is power does work normally, as reduces the brightness of the screen to the bottom, then turns off after a while. I guess it must be a form any a single function on my laptop. Thanks for all your answers.

    You have the screen image out to another monitor (one that is not plugged in fact). How you pass to the internal laptop display varies, but most cell phone companies make a combination of keys, such as Fn + F6 or something.  Looking for a symbol that looks like a monitor.  It is usually color coded and requires activation of a Fn key.

  • Monitor may not turn off after setting the screen turns off after a period of inactivity

    Original title: control screen does not turn off

    My cell phone 6 year old runs today to Win XP Pro and IE7 and Firefox. My screen has been set to turn off after 15 minutes, but these days he keeps any. It stays ON all day.

    Attempted to solve by setting to turn off in 10 minutes, but it makes no difference, what could be the problem?

    TIA

    First of all, you don't want to do the hardware updates through the Microsoft Update Website.

    Secondly, there are a couple ways you can do this:

    1. go in the Device Manager (start > Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > Device Manager).    tedious, but this way you are sure.

    Double-click each item, having developed each sign, select the driver tab and choose Update driver, let windows search automatically, make sure that you are connected to the internet.  Do this for each item that you want to search for updated drivers.

    2. go in the manufacturer's website. For example, I use a Dell Dimension and move the driver Dell downloads Web site.

    If you mean hardware upgrade from Microsoft (not Windows which is software) you would search Microsoft.com site for driver downloads.

    Hope this helps, after back with your results, please.

  • Laptop computer connection directly to a projector and cannot see the screen of my laptop

    I'm trying to figure out how to display the screen of my laptop via a projector and also be able to see the screen of my laptop.  When I hit the function key for display on the big screen, my laptop darkens.  I found a post on this forum on the connection of additional views or projector (Set Up Multiple displays). When I go to Mobile PC and display to choose settings listed in the answer (mirrored, extended, etc.) aren't there.  My laptop is running Vista Business Service Pack 2 and two weeks.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hello Shawn,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

    It should probably be shortened on your laptop keyboard to turn on the visible screen (for example Fn + F5). Try these until you can see the image on the laptop monitor.

    Also, follow the steps and try to set the screen parameter as follows:

    (1) right click on the desktop, click Properties, and on the display settings, choose monitor as your main graphics card 1.

    (2) setup that monitor the as a 2nd external display (projector).

    (3) click on apply and Ok.

    Restart the computer to see if you are able to see the screen on laptop and projector.

    You can also check with the computer manufacturer to check if they have additional parameters to be changed.

    It will be useful.

    Thank you and best regards,
