Y450 screen turns off after 5 minutes, set to never power settings

The display on my Y450 turns off after 5 minutes if it is connected or not. I changed the power settings on all levels of the power to never turn off the display, but he keeps doing. I thought that maybe it had something to do with windows is not fully updated so I did it earlier today, but it has not changed. It doesn't matter whether the system is energy saving, balanced or a custom.

I don't know what to do to stop it, but it's annoying when I play videos and turn the screen on every 5 minutes. Is there another program I'm missing that somehow overrides the power settings?

You may also need to change the power settings for the windows power management and lenovo power management.

We also know, that the problem persists only watch movies?

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv6-2140's. It is 1.5 years old. For a few days, my computer doesnot dim laptop screen or stops itself when not in use. I did the settings or power options. tried both recommended hp and energy saving. waited for several minutes, but neither the screen became decrease or stop. It was plugged and I slept something, but I knew he would go to standby mode after 15 minutes, but when I woke in the morning, he was still on with its full brightness for nearly 6 hours! That's what really shocked me, and then I checked for everything on google, but couldn't find anything. So please help me. Why is it so. I didn't install anything, nothing updated.

    Thank you

    Please update the latest version of the BIOS for your laptop and also check if your laptop screen is turned off when the unit works only with the battery.
    Go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings and configure the parameters of the battery and check if the display turns off. In case it does, you can try then configure the parameters of the plan when the unit is plugged.

  • 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.

    Hello

    Try the following steps.

    Method 1:

    Sometimes a Web site you visit doesn't look like you expect it. Images may not appear, menus may be out of place, and text boxes may be blurred together. This can be caused by a compatibility problem between Internet Explorer and the site that you are. When a site is not compatible with Internet Explorer, you'll see the compatibility view button in the address bar. You can activate only display Internet Explorer compatibility for the office.

    Use compatibility mode in Internet Explorer:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Internet-Explorer/use-compatibility-view#IE=IE-10

    Method 2:

    I would say to change the mode of Internet Explorer 9 browser.

    Steps to follow:

    a. open Internet Explorer, press the F12 function key.

    (b) in the part of developers, click browser mode and click on Internet Explorer 9.

    If the Web site uses flash player, try to uninstall and reinstall and check if it helps.

    It will be useful.

  • Monitor turns off after 5 minutes & password protect when he wakes up. View properties - > screen saver "Wait: __minutes" and "on RESUME, Password Protect" checkboxes are grayed out.

    Help, please!

    I'm on a processor to work, so I've limited the administrative rights on the computer. My work function requires that I propose on the desktop to help others with professional assignments.

    THE PROBLEM: After 5 minutes of inactivity mouse/keyboard of the monitor off on the processor to work, she does not even go to a screensaver first, the screen turns off just in standby mode. When the mouse is moved or a key is struck, the screen lights up with a name/password user. I am developing carpal tunnel / repetitive stress syndrome having to retype my username and password so darn times per day, at the expense of some administrative setting of BOGUS Microsoft Windows... SHEESH!

    When I click on Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> display-> Display Properties-> screen saver , the "Wait: __minutes" and "On resume, password protect" checkboxes are GRISEES OUT [you can't edit these settings] . In addition, the default screen saver is set to void and no matter how many times I change it to something else and click 'Apply' return empty by default.

    TWO SERIOUS CONCERNS:

    Un When I'm away from my desk for more than 5 minutes, if someone arrives at my office, looking for me, it seems that my machine is completely off, so that co-workers can get the impression that I am out of the office when I could very well be just down the Hall.

    Two The Office I'm implemented in a motion sensor energy saving lights in the office, if the lighting turns off automatically too, so if I'm missing in the server room or help someone at their work station for an extended period of time, if someone comes to my office, looking for me, my machine seems to be completely off AND turned off the lights in my room , so it's as if I has not yet come to the office that day there!

    PPS. Isn't it above described situation in the heart of the reason why employers more these days this demand we have iPhones, BlackBerry and SmartPhones? Because doctors and human beings humans with a bit of common sense finally realized that we must be sure that we move around during the day, at least several times per day, not only the stationary to our office location - watch a screen - ensuring that move us the mouse every five minutes so that our machine is not hibernate and look like it is not to do anything?

Everyone must be wrong because of the stupid administrative _ like this and if yes - I NEED TO KNOW - maybe I was just not cut for a job on time full computer.

    PEACE

    Hello JDG_SF, welcome.

    These options are very likely controlled by your GP (Group Policy) settings on your domain. Due to the nature of the work of rights how administrative, there is no way to work around this problem, unless you have access to change group policy settings that affect all the machines on your network.

    You would need to access or to change the settings of GP or find someone who already has access.

  • Satellite A100-812: screen brightness does not not & screen turns off after a while

    Some power management features do not work after a bios update (5.90).
    The display brightness can be changed in the power manager, or the top menu system. In the power manager, the cursor can be moved, but the brightness is not set. Toshiba menu system appears to hang on trying to change the brightness with F6 - F7 and won't move the cursor.

    In addition, the screen does not turn off after the set amount of minutes in the power manager.

    What is going on? How can this be repaired?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Some questions; Why you have updated the BIOS?
    Are you sure you used the right BIOS?

    In my opinion you shouldn't t to update anything if the laptop works properly!

    However, try to access the BIOS, set the default settings and save the settings before exiting the BIOS.
    If this does not help, I would pick up the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    Good bye

  • Equiium series A - maintains turns off after 20 minutes

    My laptop turns off after about 20 minutes of use. I checked for dust and clean battery etc. Any other suggestions? It has been suggested that I have to find and fix bugs in C drive but I don't know how - as any help much appreciated.

    Is what model laptop?

    Dust in the heat sink is often the cause.
    It can also be caused by a dry heat pipe (liquid escaped), or dried up CPU thermal grease or a failed fan.

    Or its possible that the power adapter is faulty, or she cannot provide enough amps, or a power adapter non - Toshiba is used.

  • Latitude D610 screen turns off after the Windows XP loading screen

    I'm having a problem with my Latitude D610 where after the Windows XP loading screen, the screen turns off completely. No BSOD, no login screen, just a white screen. This started happening at least a year, however, I bought a new computer if it is passed to the hatch. I tried the system restore when it appeared first without success. The computer starts in Mode safe. Any suggestions?

    If it starts in mode without failure, then its almost certainly a driver and with the blank screen problem, I suspect a display driver.

  • Satellite M200 screen turns off after that start & battery does not charge

    Hello, I am from Jakarta, Indonesia
    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite M200 Notebook (running Windows 7 Home Premium)

    After I press the power button to the top of my laptop, it works fine display BIOS and Windows startup screen.
    but after that my monitor off all of a sudden when Windows is supposed to show the login screen.

    Sometimes, the monitor doesn't turn off, but shows a lower resolution (I don't know exactly what resolution, 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, i use maybe 1280 x 800)
    so the only thing I can do is, press the power button to stop bad then press power again turns on, my monitor works normally
    try to stop and then turn on again in a few hours later, problems still comes once.

    from the moment where I install Windows 7, I use 8.15.10.1930 version of the driver (downloaded from Download Center of Intel, which included Assistant TV Intel)
    2 days ago, my friend told me that I should install the driver from the Toshiba site support, so I went to csd.toshiba.com and download the 8.15.10.1825 version of this site (which is not included Assistant TV Intel)

    my monitor works normally after I installed the driver I of csd.toshiba.com, so I think that the problem because the Intel TV Wizard somehow messed with my laptop. But this morning this problem once again, my turns just monitor suddenly...

    In addition, this problem seems to be my battery was unable to recharge, my completely reloaded Windows shows, but when I plugged my AC adapter,
    There are 15-20 minutes before my laptop turns off automatically

    Three months ago, I just brought my laptop to the local Service Center of Toshiba and bought the new motherboard to replace my old mobo (which have a VGA problem too!)
    Is there something I can do (related to Windows or driver/software) or I can bring my notebook at the center of service again?
    are they somehow an incorrect wiring when replacing my motherboard?
    and am I need to replace my battery too?

    I use this laptop for about a year and a half and there is nothing wrong with my battery before replacing the motherboard

    any help would be appreciated :D

    Hello

    Talk about your screen, the a graphics driver causes this malfunction with resolution and turn off. Go to the page of the toshiba driver and download the correct Vga driver for your model. I see, you are running Windows 7, if there is no driver for win7, try the vista driver.
    On your power supply, you have used for the year and a half and he is released in 20 minutes, there is nothing strange. It's standard for power supply operating period, need to be replaced. Just to be sure, you can check with a new battery. You will see that the trick works as expected.

  • Belkin F6D4050 v2 USB Wireless Adapter turns off after 5 minutes using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

    I recently bought a wireless adapter Belkin for use in my Media Center PC in the living room. The router I use is also a Belkin N + Router. The wireless adapter will connect to my WPA encrypted network, but it will stop working after about 5 minutes or more. The State of the connection is going to say "No network detected." The icon shows a strong signal with a yellow bang next to it. It takes a hard reboot to get it working again. Take out the USB port and put again does nothing. The icon remains the same, but he won't let me not make a right-click or left-click on the icon. When you try to stop, the computer turns off completely; It gets stuck on the "Shutting Down" screen.

    I disabled the option in the settings to get to power adapter down to save power. I thought that this would fix it, but still the adapter is not connected.  My Dell laptop gets a signal stronger than this card, and there is also no problem to stay connected to the router.

    Any help would be appreciated on figure out how to get the card working properly.
