SithHellscream Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Topic not specific to Aida64 but I know a lot of people on this forum use this monitor or other waveshare monitors for their sensor panels. I am using the 8.8 monitor for my sensor panel, however I am having an issue where the monitor only displays a black screen on startup. To get an image on the monitor I have to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in. This is also occurs when the monitor turns off after an hour of inactivity (computer doesn't go to sleep, just monitor turns off). I bring the main monitor back up, but waveshare stays black. On startup and a black screen, I can see that NVIDIA, Device Manager and Windows all recognise that the monitor is plugged in and working. Multiple displays I can see the monitor, just can not get anything to appear. Actions taken so far: - Replaced all provided cables with new ones (HDMI and USB-C) - Tried multiple USB ports - I have reset the graphics drivers - All drivers are up to date (BIOS, Windows, GPU etc) - Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers - Waveshare have my issue on their website and how to resolve. Done these steps a number of times, no luck - Waveshare support provided me with new firmware for monitor that would fix. Did not fix. Waveshare have since gone silent. - Adjust power management. USB power always on Plan is for this monitor to install inside my case, but can't while I can't get it to automatically turn on. Can't not find any information online about this issue. Any one else had this issue or similar? Where does everyone else plug their monitors into eg internal USB with adapter or external? Powered USB hub? Any help or advice would be great, starting to get frustrated with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithHellscream Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Even though I got nothing from here. If anyone is having a similar issue, Waveshare have released two firmware updates for this monitor which appears to have corrected now. Firmware isn't on their website though, they emailed it to me with the software to update the monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baklazan90 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Looks like I`m experiencing identical issues with my 8.8 screen. The problem is mine is not from waveshare probably some kind of OEM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Kolka Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I had this same problem. Tried on multiple hosts. They actually sent me a replacement display which also had the same issue. I am going to try this firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
