W3J - screen doesn't recover after "Turn off monitor: xx min"

My LCD turns off after 15 min (that's how i have it set up) if I'm not using my W3j however it doesn't turn back on when i click with mouse or do anything. Computer is working fine since I can turn on/off wireless (BT), I can hear a music etc. The only way to get it back on, is to reboot.
I use Omega drivers and NHC...

Help is highly appreciated cause this is really annoying me! I'm quite positive that it is a software issue but have no idea how to fix it

 

close the lid and open it up.

 

tried it before... didn't help

 

my problem is evolving lol, i was actually using computer and suddenly LCD turned off and when i closed the lid and opened it again, the screen turned on... but why is that happening!?

 

Go into the options for the screen saver and for the power options, set it so you don't go to the welcome screen when you resume. I think this is what has fixed it before. I have had similar problems with the V6j, but its fixed now.

 

you mean "prompt for password when computer resumes" ??
if so then it is unchecked

 

Hmmmmm..... what version of Omega driver are you using? I bet it's the Omega that's based on the catalyst ver 6.9?

 

i'm using Omega 6.7

 

Did you check BOTH of the options I suggested? Also, are these official Asus drivers?

 

Yes

I got them for www.omegadrivers.net so I don't think that they are "official" but they work for other without any problems

 

i have the same problem too. i also use omega 6.7. my solution is to hit fn+f8 so that it projects to an external monitor. hit it 2 more times and it should project onto LCD only, and you should get ur screen back. annoying ya, but the only solution i have found.

 

Other Asus series have this problem too. I'm regretting getting an Asus... Too expensive while new tech comes out every three months or so...

 

is this a hardware or software problem??

Despite this screen issue I still love my W3j

 

its a software problem and ASUS has not been able to address it properly yet. this issue comes up every few weeks and people always have one "hack" or another way to get around the problem. A actual "solution" is going to have to come from ASUS. I propose we start some sort of lobbying to try and get ASUS to fix this issue once and for all! Any resellers (justin, danny, eddie, ken?) interested in helping us out? It worked for the x1600 graininess fix so it could work for this issue as well.

 

It is a software problem, as mikez said, it affects a lot of Asus notebooks, and there is a fix, it might be the video drivers, or another setting I can't remember at this point. I would do some searching, someone did some extensive work to fix this problem, so check what they found.

 

Ive been following this issue for a while and I havent seen a real fix yet, only workarounds. If there is indeed a fix, I would be really curious to know what it is.

 

I suppose I should amend what I said to workaround, but I consider it a fix, since it is taken care of easily and once you do that, no more problems.

 

I was also having this problem on a regular basis. After I uninstalled the Power4Gear, it stopped. I think the monitor itself is just getting turned off, so when you put it into standby, when it comes back on it turns the monitor on again. You can also fit Fn+F8 twice to turn it back on.

Never had the issue again for weeks, then suddenly started having a real similar problem, BUT ONLY if I leave the laptop on for a long period, as in over night and a full day, once I restart, the problem stops again. This problem never lets me turn it back on no matter what I try, so I have to turn it off.

 

I had posted an answer for this problem before.
FN+F8 Does not turn the LCD on/off it dims(reduce the brighteness) to the least level.
So FN+F8 Does not help with this problem.
The best is to prevent the windows from turning off the monitor.

Fn+F8 doesn't dim mine down at all, just says "LCD only" when I press it. I always assumed it had some control between an external monitor and the lappies LCD?
Fn+F7 appears to completely turn off the back light, is that what you are referring to?

Curious, Is there anyone who has uninstalled Power4Gear that still has this problem?

 

Me, I still have this issue but my monitor rarely off so I'm not to concern about it.

This is not a fix whatsoever.

 

I have the W7J, and i am still having this problem

If i close the lid, and then later in the day open the lid and try to resum, the computer resumes, but the screen remains black. I can hear functions, and i can tell it is on, but no screen.

If i close the lid, again. (to stand-by) and then open it once more, boom, problem solved.

its irritating, any fixes yet? a search on google and this site has shown me nothing in the way of a fix

I just turned off the password on resume feature, lets see how that goes. any help appreciated...

sincerely,

I had this problem, it went away, then came back somehow. I have an Asus W7J

To fix it the second time I set screen saver ON in the Power4gear settings. Fixed it for me. The first time I had to adjust the power properties in the control panel to match the Power4Gear settings.

I can live with the screensaver for now.

 

can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
i have this problem too...
really annoying..

 

I had this problem on my A8Js, but I managed to fix it. I honestly can't remember what I did. I did some Google searches and ended up on a forum for Toshiba, where Toshiba owners had the same problem. They had links for a fix that took care of the problem.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but at least I can confirm that this can be fixed. I can also confirm that it is not exclusively an Asus problem. Keep searching, and I'm sure you'll find that fix somewhere. I'll post a link here if I happen to come across it somewhere.
