Moniter Question?? Notebook?

[wk3000]

I would like to ask you guys that my laptop monitor automatically turns off the screen even when i plug the power into the socket and I just can not turn it back on? I tried to click every keys on the board and nothing, i tried to do Ctrl+Alt Del and still nothing. What's going on?

My Toshiba shuts down auto if I leave it for a few minutes, I just push the on button again. You didn't say how often and for how long you can stay on before it shuts down.

if you post the brand name and model number of your laptop will look it up, and see if this is a known issue and if there is a patch for it.

i have a toshiba p15-s479. I was listening to a news program on realplayer and i didn't touch any keys or mouse and about 30 mins later the screen just go black. I press all of the button on the keyboard and it still stay black(turned off)?

Yes, it just shut off, push the on button and see if it starts, the shut down is normal. You can change your settings, but don't have my laptop here with me, will post again if you need that info.

No, the computer wasn't off, i heard that the fan were going.

I would then start with a thorough cleaning job: ie
Lafasoft Adaware

Registry First Aid (be careful with this one, great but you have to know what to delete.

Spybot Search and Destroy
Nortons System Works (or something similar)
Defrag

Except for Norton's all above programs are free.

check your settings first that your computer is not going into "sleep" mode after 30 minutes, could be set to do this.
Also, I have deleted all Realplayer from my computers because of the problems that it caused me, and there are other similar programs to replace RealPlayer, have seen them on this forum somewhere.

checked the toshiba site, i do not seetoshiba the model number listed for toshiba p15-s479 is this the correct model or a type-o?

Maybe it goes into some kinda hibernation?
Right click on the desktop go to properties --> screen saver and power settings, see if there is anything there that might cause it

THanks for the advice, now i'm just going to set the notebook to never turn off the screen no matter what the battery % are.
