    Screen going black for a second repeatedly.

    I've had the laptop connected to the TV (TCL Smart TV) for a number of hours yesterday and a few days before and it didn't flash once, I've just connected it back to the Acer monitor and it's flashing and is black most of the time. The Acer monitor was used with another laptop and was fine the...

    Acer G246HL Correct. I was trying to see if a different monitor would work. I can see the desktop or what ever I’m using on the computer but it’s distorted, has some lines, ghosting etc. No, it doesn’t go blank when the external monitor goes black.

    I’ve started to try a few of the suggestion, still going through them. I have to fit it in around kids and life. As of yet there hasn’t been much of a change, I’m plugging away.

    Thanks so much for all your invaluable help. I’ll let you know what happens. I haven’t opened it up before so will give that a try too. I was surprised with the temp as it’s fairly quiet. I read somewhere that the thermal paste might need replacing on the cpu.

    Not shown no. Out of warranty. I haven’t reinstalled the disp divers using the Dudu no. Not sure what caused the monitor, I think it may have been smashed/damaged by some small people (neice and nephew).

    Screen going black for a second repeatedly.

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me, my laptop with external monitor is intimately going black for a second and then returning. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the black outs, it seems random. I have tried multiple monitors, it does it still. I've replaced the HDMI cord with a new one...
