    Second monitor randomly going dark for a few seconds.


    I'm running Windows 11 on my Thinkpad P1. At work, I use a docking station and have two external monitors my laptop is closed. My secondary monitor will periodically go black for a few seconds, then turn back on. It happens 20+ times per day. Any ideas on what's happening and how to fix it? All my drivers are up to date and my connections/cables are all secure. Thanks!

    :)

    My monitor keeps going dark for about a second

    My monitor has been turning going dark for a second or two and it happens multiple times a day, sometimes I'll happen multiple times with only a few minutes in between, and some times it'll be hours in between. It never lasts for much longer than a second
    or two, and it doesn't happen from being bumped or anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Second Monitor

    I connected a monitor to my Inspiron Laptop. The second monitor displays the same info as the lap top. When I go to settings it will not detect the monitor. I have upgraded all the drivers. Any suggestions?

    Second screen with dual monitors randomly goes black

    Hi Andre,

    I updated the bios but no luck. It was a F.6, now on F.14 which is still a good thing to have. Second monitor randomly going dark for a few seconds. :)

    But the second monitor keeps going black for a second. Also it makes like a noice like something disconnects or something. But the power is just fine, I swapped monitors and when I make the other one my second display, that is the one going randomly black.

    Thanks.
