Display problem.HELP

@RaXxaa@ · Dec 17, 2009, 07:32 AM

Hello everyone. i have ran into a bad problem, i changed settings on my laptop power settings that when i close my lid it does not sleep. and when i tried it it didnt sleep rather turn the screen off and made it black n white as when you log off, the screen went from color to black n white and now it wont go back to color.
I shut down my computer and tried again and still its Monochrome

wont get color.

@RaXxaa@ · Dec 17, 2009, 07:32 AM

I dont know if my black and white screen shot is Black and white as i cant really tell

Mussels · Dec 17, 2009, 07:49 AM

those are color.

sounds like the cable connecting your screen to your monitor may be loose or damaged.

1freedude · Dec 17, 2009, 07:49 AM

screenie is in color...

1freedude · Dec 17, 2009, 07:50 AM

damn, just beat me

try changing settings to the way they were

@RaXxaa@ · Dec 17, 2009, 08:15 AM

tried that too still wont work, when i open the lid back and enter te password, the screen flikers for a second and turn to color for around 2 seconds, and when the desktop is loaded up it turns black again, and just to say the connections arent loose so not physical problem just a windows problem but dont know how to solve it

Mussels · Dec 17, 2009, 08:16 AM

you've failed to provide any specs of the laptop.

But again its windows problem, i think a registry edit might help but iam not a registry expert

Mussels · Dec 17, 2009, 08:32 AM

it is not a windows problem. its a setting to do with the video card.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the video card drivers.

It also happens atleast when the Shutdown/Standby/Restart appears in WinXP.
As screen slowly turns black and white.... thats the problem but didnt go away but i'll try it anyway

Mussels · Dec 17, 2009, 08:42 AM

ah i see where you're going now, you think it might be that 'shut down menu' grey filter getting stuck.

Never heard of that happening before.

heky · Dec 17, 2009, 08:44 AM

Yup, what Mussels said, try the drivers re-install.

That's quite simple to verify, enter the BIOS, is that black and white as well or does it show color? If the BIOS has color it's a software issue.

he already said it flickers on and off between color and greyscale when he logs in to windows.
