It only powers on when plugged into the computer. When it is plugged in it only shows the PC and MSCD screen? Is mine broken???

Try resetting camera by using a needle. Insert needle in little between usb port and memory card. Worked for me.

Mine is connected to a desktop and when I secure the PC the USB goes off. When I start the PC the USB lights up and is active.

Sometimes power cords can be tricky. Try a Friend's power cord or someone else's with the exact same one. I only know because with another laptop I had, It showed plugged in not charging, The laptop suggested that I change the battery so I did only to receive the same message. It wound up being the power cord. Alternately you can try shutting down the PC. Unplug the power cord, remove the battery, Then hold down the power button for 20 seconds. Re-Install the battery then the power supply and power back up. Hope this helps!

Are you using the proper power supply. I was cleaning rearranging my desktop, and inadvertently plugged the power supply from my modem into the laCie drive. It had enough power to turn the light on, but not enough to actually run the drive. I HAVE had a couple issues with my drive. The USB port now routinely disconnects for not apparent reason. Makes it difficult to copy large files.

Is it plugged in when this happens? If so, have you checked the power icon in the lower right corner of the taskbar to see whether it is receiving a charge from the power cord?

I had some problems too, until I connected the power cable to the adapter and it worked for me after that. It seemed that if you didn't use the adapter with the power cable and turned it on, it wouldn't work. Hope this would work for you.

I have two these and have never seen this issue. I am sure you have tried to unplug it and plug in back maybe to reset the computer. Other than that not sure, how old is it.

Well...it could be your battery. Try using the plug after removing the battery from it and if the laptop comes on, its definitely your battery!!

You have to hook up the video cord for video then another cord that is usb goes from your pc to the monitor for the touchscreen function if that doesn't work make sure your system including video drivers is fully updated if it still doesn't work its broken

Mine comes on when I turn the machine on. Sounds like it maybe defective or the screen plug has come unattached.

It works plugged into the monitor for power, however I found that the volume is low even when turned all the way up. Not sure if this has anything to do with power source.

I am in agreement with Thomas. I have been fortunate I guess, mine comes on every time. I would verify your power connection and cable to ensure it is not faulty. The power input is just a mini-usb which can be an easy and cheap replacement.

I have my desktop plugged into the master and a pair of monitors into the controlled ports. All I do is a normal shutdown command when I'm finished using the PC, and a minute or so later the power drops from the monitors entirely. Works like a charm!

The monitor goes into sleep mode when no input is detected. So as soon as something is plugged in, it will automatically display the input as long the it has not been powered off. I'm not sure if this is what you meant... But i love this monitor!

It will be hard to power on. Please check your plug and connect well or not.This will be very sensitive. I hope you can power on!!
