Monitor issue


Recommended Posts

I have a YAMAKASI M280PU 28" 4K monitor as my primary display, and this morning after waking the system up from sleep it refuses to wake up. The LED is pulsing purple and the power button is render unusable. I have restarted windows and checked that the cables are seated properly, and unplugged the power from the monitor and reattached it and it goes right back to a blank display with pulsing LED. I have had zero luck finding a manual for this monitor, Googling the phrase YAMAKASI M280PU user manual gives me everything but the manual. I bought this monitor February 2016 and it has worked just fine up until today. Deos anyone have any ideas what I can check/do next?

Have you confirmed it is the monitor at fault and not the PC by using a different display source?

I have 2K monitor as a secondary display, and it is working, so I'm fairly sure that the monitor is the issue.

I know you mentioned reseating the cables, but have you tried plugging your primary display in to the port that the secondary display is and vice-versa? Maybe a bad port on the video card?

The 4K is displayport connected and I switched it over to another displayport on the GPU and it still is making no difference at all.

try using a different DP cable, if a digital cable goes pop it works, or it doesnt. a 1 (works) or a 0 (doesnt work) basically :) 

 

the monitor is probs fine, the flashing LED means powersave mode/no input detected.

When it goes into power save it flashes red not purple which it is now doing... I'll look around and see if I have another DP cable, may have to buy one from Amazon.  Just tried another DP and HDMI and the same results happen, no display and pulsing light.

The problem was even more simple: the power cord that runs from the converter to the wall was a European type plug with an adapter to make it work with in the US, I simply removed that cord and replaced it with a standard cord, and suddenly it works!

Well this morning it did it again. I unplugged the power from the adapter and waited around 30 seconds for it to totally discharge and then plugged it back in and suddenly the monitor works. I am thinking that the power adapter is failing, would that be a safe assumption?

    • Microsoft updates default app choices for Windows 10 and the Curl tool with build 19045.6029 by Sayan Sen Microsoft has rolled out a new Windows 10 release preview build today for Insiders flighting the channel. The new build, 19045.6029, has some new changes and improvements. The biggest highlight is related to default app choices for the EEA (European Economic Area) region. Microsoft writes: "We are rolling out some small changes in the EEA region for default browsers via the Set default button in Settings > Apps > Default apps: Additional file and link types will be set for the new default browser, if it registers them. The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes. There is now a separate one-click button for browsers to change your .pdf default, if the browser registers for the .pdf file type." Microsoft has also updated the curl command line tool with "most recent stable version is 8.14.1". Aside from those, remote Component Object Model (COM) activation that were failing with 0x8001011 error code has been fixed. And there are several other changes too. The full changelog is given below: [Mobile Operator Profiles] Updated: Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles. [App Platforms and Frameworks] Fixed: An issue affecting Component Object Model (COM) functionality on Windows platforms, where remote COM activations were failing with error 0x8001011. Upgraded the version of the curl tool included in Windows to v8.13.0. [Authentication Platform] Fixed: An issue affecting the device registration in Entra ID Windows Account Manager (WAM) plugin. [Input and Composition] Fixed: An issue affecting the complete removal of unused language packs and Feature on Demand (FOD) packages. This led to unnecessary storage use and increase in Windows Update installation time. [Print and Peripherals] Fixed: An issue affecting USB-connected Multi-Function printers with dual protocol interfaces, where scanning may fail and prevent use of the OS’s built-in scanning functionality. [Start Menu] Fixed: An issue causing jump lists to disappear from the Start Menu. Fixed: An issue where the Start Menu was not starting after installing an update. [Settings] Fixed: Settings > System > About unexpectedly shows version 2009 instead of version 22H2. [Servicing] Fixed: An issue where Kiosk devices using the ForceAutoLogon configuration and Shift Override might stop responding with a blue screen after being locked and unlocked by support administrators. [File Server] Fixed: An issue where the system may hang when acknowledging an Oplock break on resources located on SMB shares. You can find the official blog post here on Microsoft's website.
    • This is a liability problem. They aren't simply going to trust that you aren't the driver. I think if they really wanted to they could do something similar to key fobs where they only work if they are in the proximity of the driver's seat. As already pointed out by a Random Stranger, simply having your passenger hit the play button doesn't make it any less distracting for the driver.
    • Windows 11 gets improved app defaults settings and Windows Share in build 22631.5545 by Taras Buria Windows 11 build 22631.5545 is now available for download in the Release Preview Channel of the Windows Insider Program. The update is a pretty minor one, but it still packs some important changes, such as improvements for app defaults in the Settings app, Windows Share enhancements, and a few fixes here and there. With build 22631.5545, Microsoft is giving users in the EEA region more control over default apps in Windows 11, particularly for browser defaults. Now, browser defaults support additional file and link types. Your default browser now pins itself to the taskbar (you can turn this option off), plus you can change your typical PDF viewer with one click (if the browser of choice supports PDF handling). As for Windows Share improvements, the sharing window now includes a preview of the link that you are about to send to someone. The rest of the changelog includes various fixes: [Audit] Fixed: An issue with auditing privilege use created too many security event logs. These logs filled up the system drive and prevented users from signing in. [Authentication] Fixed: This update fixes an issue where domain-joined machines running Windows 11 22H2 or 23H2 couldn’t update their account passwords on Windows Server 2025 domain controllers, which led to trust relationship issues. [Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA)] Fixed: This update brings profiles up to date for certain mobile operators. [Display Kernel] Fixed: An issue that prevented Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections until you restarted your device. [Network file sharing] Fixed: This update fixes an issue where workstations and servers might stop responding when connecting to resources located on Server Message Block (SMB) shares. [Performance] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that prevented the complete removal of unused language packs and Feature on Demand packages, which previously led to unnecessary storage use and longer Windows Update installation times. [Shell] Fixed: This update resolves an issue where kiosk devices might stop responding after being locked and unlocked by an administrator. [Windows Hello] Fixed: This update fixes an issue that prevented the automatic renewal of expiring certificates in Windows Hello for Business. [Windows Search] Fixed: Windows Search responds very slowly—the Search Box can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it. You can find the announcement post here.
