Hi all,
This is a general cry for help concerning my one-year-old HP f2105 monitor. Nice-looking thing, works fine when it's on... and that's just the problem.
The monitor will suddenly shut itself off ("Monitor going to sleep") sporadically, and is completely unresponsive to any external stimulus
such as moving the mouse around, pressing a few keys on the keyboard, moving the mouse around frantically, slamming keys on the keyboard, etc.
The only thing that works, other than just restarting the computer, is pressing the sleep button on my keyboard, and then waking the computer up by pressing the same button again. Even doing that, there's no telling when the monitor might suddenly shut itself off again.
I've avoided the problem up till now because I haven't been using my computer for long stretches of time, but I no longer want to be a prisoner to my monitor!
Has anyone had the same problem? Might it have anything to do with a video card conflict? I have an ATI Radeon 9700. Running Windows XP SP2.
Thanks for any response (even viewing this would be nice - in case any of you ever run into people who have this monitor and this problem). HP's email support is nonexistent, by the way.
