Hardware Forums - View Single Post - Dell Latitude monitor dims out shortly after bootup

It doesn't dim out if I sit in BIOS. The laptop is using AC power (don't have a battery, so its always AC).

I hooked another monitor up to it and that monitor does not dim out. Also, when I hit my CRT/LCD function key, it will refresh the screen on the laptop, but 10 seconds later it dims again.

I'm going to try staying in the BIOS longer to see if I didn't give it enough time.
