    screen resoltion/with windows OS

    with the windows operating system, If the screen resolution on the PC is set to some setting that a monitor cannot support is there a way to get the PC to the 800x600 or some setting that the monitor will support so the monitor will show something on the screen ,other than signal out of range?

    There should be something like virtual resolution, where it will make the screen itself that random resolution you want, but display it imposed on the monitor's native res. eg, 1650x1050 on a 1024x768 monitor. it forces a scroll, but at least you get it.

    if you are talking about forcing the resolution, try powerstrip

      restart computer and press F8 right before windows loads to load boot menu and then select VGA mode.

        I had a monitor hooked up to this PC that was very high resolution something like
        1680x1080???something,and did not change it when i shut down the computer, for some reasion now its must be stuck there, and will not let a lower resolution 19" square monitor show up.

            RedmiBook 15 pro 2023 Ryzen - after replace LCD screen work only in windows
            by benek123
            I replaced the screen and LCD ribbon in Redmi Book 15 Pro Ryzen 2023. After replacing, the image on the screen is only visible in Windows 11 - when the AMD drivers are loaded.

            The screen is backlit but there is no image in: bios, post, when loading windows, in linux (ubuntu boot from usb), windows 10 PE.
            When I disconnect the EDP connector from the board and connect the HDMI cable, the image is visible everywhere good, in the BIOS you can see 2/3 of the image, i.e. 1920 pixels out of 3000 pixels.
            I checked the EDID with the old screen - it is identical.

            What...

            AOC U34G3XM, new monitor, black screen with backlight on, possible shortcircuit during dissassembly
            by turmix
            Hello, I'm working on a new deskmod pc project and have a problem with my monitor, an AOC U34G3XM, well, I may have bricked it.

            The monitor was dismanteled and the separate parts parts integrated in the desk. the screen panel alone is on the upper part, and main board/video board + power board on the back of the desk (not enough place on the cover to fit it)
            At first everything was working smoothly, then I decided to change the connexion between the video board and the screen for a longer one. Still working fine

            During another reassembly, I made a mistake, and...

            HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
            by momaka
            Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

            A2141 Screen replacement. Boots screen freezes on Apple Logo 1/3 status bar unless connected to second monitor.
            by abajor
            Having this very weird issue.
            The owner of this laptop complained about screen being intermittent when opening and closing, and has been using the laptop on a thunderbolt video connection since the screen failed.

            I swapped with a working screen from an A2141 waiting for parts.

            The Os exhibits this weird behavior where it boots to to 1/3 the status bar, then it makes the boop sound. It's at the log in but for whatever reason the desktop isn't loaded.

            The laptop boots fine into recovery mode. I updated from Monterey to Sonoma and the laptop still has...

            HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb
            by iZakre
            Hello everybody!

            To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

            The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...
