    Monitor taking longer and longer to "wake up" in the morning


    Hello


    My Windows10 has suddenly started taking longer and longer for my monitor to come to life first thing in the morning. It now seems to take about 2 - 3 minutes! And it seems that I need to press the "Source" button on the screen as well.


    - Any advice?

    Icons move to the left on a 4K monitor

    Sorry for waking this thread back up - but I hadn't seen a solution anywhere and just wanted to share. I have Samsung's 28" U28E590D 4k monitor. All I had to do was download the driver for the monitor from Samsung's website. Now that I've installed
    that, the icons no longer move to the top left corner when the PC wakes up from sleep.

    Cortana no longer pops up with greetings or info on taskbar!

    After the Win 10 Anniversary upgrade: Cortana no longer pops up from the taskbar with "hello", "Good Morning", or any "tips or greetings". The setting for that is still set to "on". Is there a fix for this?

    Monitor taking longer and longer to "wake up" in the morning

    The Samsung SyncMaster 244T is from when, 2007?

    I suppose that it uses a fluorescent backlight rather than LEDs. I'm not sure what the life expectancy of that would be.

    On the other hand, it's not obvious why a failing backlight would make it necessary to set the source.

    Good luck with it.

    Yes I think I bought it in 2007.
    I don't know how to tell if it has a back light or LEDs for sure, but this site Samsung SyncMaster 244T Specs - CNET says it has "LCD monitor / TFT active matrix" and this site calls it "the best high resolution LCD monitor I’ve seen"
    http://www.trustedreviews.com/Samsung-SyncMaster-244T-review-samsung-syncmaster-244t-page-4

    If it has a back light, clearly that light is work - I am using the monitor right now!

    But every morning it takes me about 3 minutes to get it going [GRRR]

    My routine is to unplug the power for 10 seconds, plug it back in, wait 60 seconds and eventually a message appears saying that nothing is attached to the monitor. At this point I have to press the "Source" button once, and then a few seconds later the screen comes to life and works just fine.

    How can I work out if it's the graphics card or the monitor itself that is not starting properly?

    I'm not a brilliant diagnostician.

    If it was me, I'd try another monitor. It helps that I have another monitor to try.

    One thought: with everything turned off, disconnect the monitor from the PC. Turn on the monitor. It ought to display some sort of "no signal" message in much less than 2-3 minutes.

    Sounds like a classic case of capacitors drying out / failing inside the monitor. Easily replaced if you can solder.
    Have a look on the badcaps forum for more info on how common problems like this are.
