My Hanns-G Monitor Wont Turn On.? anyone good with PC's?
if your tried the flashlight trick and saw no screen then the monitor is going into power save mode when it has a signal which is uncommon but not unheard of and it's hann-g >.< despise this brand. anyways you should pull the power adapter out from the back of it wile it is turned on. if this does not fix anything a few things can be broken but all mean you need a new one. 1 back light itself is burnt out broken, (should have been able to see something with flashlight) 2your capacitors are not charging so its not converting the AC to DC and would be nothing more then a power supply fail. 3. internal hardware failure in the sensor for signal causing it to go into sleep mode. all the time ... but sounds most like no2
Can anyone help me on using my Polaroid TV as a computer monitor?
The reason why the TV gets no signal after Windows finishes booting is because you have Windows set at a resolution or refresh rate your TV can't handle. Read your TV's manual and find out what is its native resolution and refresh rate, then set your Windows to run at those settings. BTW, if possible, you should use a DVI-to-HDMI cable rather than VGA (if your computer has DVI and the TV has HDMI).
Is it possible to use your laptop as a monitor for HDMI output?
I know this is an old post and OPs laptop is likely sitting in a pile of obsolete electronics but I thought I'd add my two cents for anyone who stumbles in here.OP asked about outputting HDMI to the laptop screen - I assume the aim was for the best resolution... I agree with the other answers I've seen here.However - I want to mention this neat trick which is now available and wasn't an option at the time of the post. It won't get you true HDMI but it might come in handy:[I am assuming you are outputting from a Windows-based PC...]1•Use the Settings in Windows to "add another monitor" - you'll have to find the option to "add a monitor that hasn't been detected by the scan" and it will do a more "aggressive" search and still not find one. Even though it doesn't find one, there should be an option along the lines of "Trust me, it's there. Add it." - Windows will then give you an "Are you sure?" message, confirm it. You should now be able to move your mouse pointer off your main monitor and onto your absent monitor (which you obviously can't see anything of.)2•Install Teamviewer on your PC and and your laptop (which should not be connected to PC by any video cords). Now use Teamviewer from your laptop to connect to your PC and view what is on the extra monitor. The quality isn't HMDI but it can transmit the visuals in a decent manner. You'll also have to maintain the connection constantly in Teamviewer to maintain this ... so it does hog bandwidth a little bit. On the upside, you can give yourself more distance between the screens because they aren't connected via wires.Assuming you don't get any technical snag-ups, it's a pretty quick and easy setup ... about 10-20 mins. While you're at it, I recommend you install Teamviewer on your phone/tablet so you can manipulate your computer(s) when you're out and about - it's pretty convenient to be able to play decent single player games on an android tablet/smartphone or snag files on the fly. Hope this is helpful to someone :D
Hey does any1 now wat 2 use 2 cleen a laptop moniter???
You can use alcohol and water, mix it 50-50, put it in a spray bottle, and spray it on a soft clean cloth, and it does a great job. It will dry almost immediately, because of the alcohol in it. Never use paper towels, or any window cleaner, they could damage your screen. I have been using it for years, and never had any problems with it. I got this tip, from the Digital Goddess, Kim Komando..
I need an odd shaped desktop monitor?
There are indeed special-application small monitors available that will fit under your rolltop desk, but those are not cheap. Here's an 8-inch-diagonal monitor with VGA and HDMI inputs that is sure to fit under your desk: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q... The resolution is rather low-- 800x480. Though if you need more display area, you can run two of those side-by-side in extended desktop mode if your computer has a graphics card that supports two monitors.
My laptop turns on but the screen is black. What do I do to fix it?
Other answers have jumped to a hardware fault. Perhaps not incorrectly, sure. But I'd first make sure we're not dealing with a software issue, or any other "have you tried turning it off and back on again?" sort of things.First, and foremost, does your laptop have a "Display Off" button? I have a Sony Vaio which has one of these. It's a flush bezel button near the clamshell hinge. I have absolutely no fucking clue why it's there. But it is. The only thing I can think of is it's a "privacy" button...for when you can't quite hit the (x) close button on the browser window when your spouse walks in on you ogling (.)'s.Since you didn't post a picture I will assume that you mean the screen is entirely black. No faint glow, no nothing? In other words, it doesn't look even remotely like this [note the blinking cursor]:Have you plugged anything new into your laptop recently? A new USB device? A new external drive? Do you have a docking station? If you have a docking station, does it behave differently if on or off of it?Have you verified that your battery is charged, and that even if not, your power supply is providing proper charging to the battery when it's plugged in? My laptop has a little lightning-bolt LED that indicates the power supply is properly plugged in. Sometimes those stupid connectors can become loose -- or worse, crimped [kids knocking the thing about, etc.] -- so that they don't make a proper connection. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down with my laptop that had been "plugged in" for hours only to hit the power button, see it appear to go through its start-up groans, only to have it fizzle-out and not work shortly after.Do you have a recovery disc for the OS you have installed? What happens if you turn the power on with that in the laptop?Do you have a USB memory stick? If so, there are a bunch of different things to try here Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick, even booting DOS from it.
I have a $1000 budget for a gaming computer and the monitor/keyboard/mouse. Does anyone know a good set up I can afford?
The answer by Alamir Alwaeli is a pretty nice build and will run games very nicely, but a few things about it:Now, for the more important bits:The CPU:You can also get the Ryzen 5 1500x, which is cheaper and offers same performance, unless the game requires more cores, but the majority of the games right now don’t, so I suggest going a bit cheaper with the 1500x and spending more on the accessories or the case. You could even spend the extra on an aftermarket CPU cooler. And you got headphones? A mousepad?For the more less important bits:The case (pretty important only for the fans):It only has 1 fan, so you’d need at least 3 fans for gaming. You can get 2x RGB fans for $20, there are plenty on the internet, but make sure the measurements are correct, they are listed on the page where the case is sold for: Amazon.com: CORSAIR CARBIDE 270R Mid-Tower Case, Window Side Panel: Computers & AccessoriesThe accessories:The mouse is nice, but the keyboard is meh, but at that price, you honestly can’t really be expecting much. I suggest you do some digging for those.
