Monitor stuck in standby mode

[Brandon1515]

At first my monitor would only stay in standby mode until it reached the login screen. But last night I told it to boot up in safe mode, I then restarted it and now the monitor has been stuck in standby mode ever since. I have tried looking through other threads but none of them had a fix for me.

I have tried removing the cmos battery
I have reseated the ram and graphics card

None of these solutions have had a fix.

Did you turn it on and off again? Unplug the monitor cable?

Yes, I have even tried a different monitor. And have restarted it many times.

OMG, I was searching for a reason to resolve the same issue. You will not beleive what was causing it.

1. I moved the desktop accross the room to connect it to my sisters monitor. The computer booted up fine.

2. I ran the self test on the monitor and there were no problems. So WHY wouldn't the monitor come out of power saving mode?

ANSWER.

Because the keyboard was sticking. As soon as I unplugged the keyboard and pressed the computer power button, BINGO computer works....Monitor works....and no more eating is allowed at the computer.

If a key is stuck, the computer is trying to read a command, that it can't perform!!! So no video signal can be sent, and the computer won't boot up. So why can you read the monitor saying its going into power saving mode. Because it's built into the monitor menu to show that info, if it's not receiving a signal. And it can't receive a signal if keys are stuck down on the keyboard.

Pretty easy pain in the *** fix!!!!!

Sometime it's worth pulling out all usb connected devices...........and try it again
