original title: fix a black screen

After turning on the computer, the screen stays black

It could be that your video settings have been set to a resolution that your monitor does not support.

You can start mode (repeatedly tap the F8 key during startup key) safe?  Safe mode requires a video resolution supported by all monitors.  If it works, try to change your video resolution settings

    Try a hard reset:

    Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    Press and hold the power button for more than 15 seconds.
    Plug the DC power adapter (leave the battery for now)
    Press the power button

  • Satellite 210CS - the screen stays black (even to an external monitor)

    Dear Toshiba Forum members and guests.

    Several months ago, I found an old laptop. When I turn it on, the screen remains black. And when I connect an external monitor to the laptop via the VGA input, two screens are black. I used a flashlight, pulled on the LCD screen of the laptop, but I don't see all the details on the screen.

    I thought it was because of the empty RAM slots. This week, I bought a RAM-unit and installed.
    I tried to start the laptop again, but nothing on the two screens (even though I used a flashlight).
    I searched the Internet for certain solutions, but nothing works. I also tried updating the BIOS, found on the Web from Toshiba site.

    Some information on the laptop:
    Toshiba Satellite 210CS/1.3
    PA1230E
    48 MB RAM
    1.3 GB HARD DRIVE

    Date of manufacture: 4 ^ th ^ October 1997

    If you want more information or you would like more information, please put a comment in this thread.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think there must be some serious hardware problem.
    I don't think that someone will be able to tell what part exactly failures because it could be any inner part.
    You buy the RAMs again. Well, in this case, we can exclude RAM problem, but there is probably a motherboard, CPU or a graphics card problem.

    From my point of view of the few you don't have many options: perhaps you could found some other good treatments Satellite 210CS somewhere in the internet since it is not very easy to get parts for this oldie

  • Laptop screen stays black with the mouse cursor only after that comes the HP and Windows logo

    Hi all

    No, my laptop model is HP Pavilion dv6 1337tx. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. So, today, I shut my laptop down by force by pressing the power button because it did not at this time. Then the next time I turned it the wrong problem started. Whenever I'm on the HP logo sometimes and then the Windows logo comes also. But then the screen stays black and the mouse cursor appears. So, what can be the cause of this problem? I also tried to open with 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with command prompt', but they did not help either.

    Note - I tried the method of discharge after taking off the battery and holding down the power button. He could not help. All LEDS are working properly. I have no extra monitor, so I can't check the display elsewhere. Also, I ran the memory test which shows that everything is fine. Please suggest what I can do now as I can not enter the laptop now. What can be the reason?

    Must be the hardware problem.

    It seems that no signal can be picked up by the monitor...

  • At the beginning; After the Windows Logo at the start, the screen goes black and a POWER SAVE MODE comes up. I must stop button. I can run the computer as I am now in Mode safe mode with networking.

    When I turn on the computer of gateway, the machine starts and the initial window logo starts and runs for about five seconds.  Then the screen goes black instead of blue and stays black for about 10 seconds.  A 'Power SAVE MODE' appears.  The machine is dead to all orders.  I have to stop by pressing the off button.  I can turn back and the F10 key to get in Mode safe mode with networking.

    I tried to reinstall Windows XP original but it would erase my files.  I tried to restore the last good configuration also knowledge.  That did not work.

    The change came after a Windsows update.  I have McAfee security and I asked Windows but could not use due ot a conflict. -C' is all this bad start.  Clues?  I use Negear.  No change when I hooked directly either.

    Botton line, I can run in SafeMode with networking; but it is slow and I can't make alll I have to do.  What does not load Windows?

    Since your iSight webcam works up to the time that your Mac goes to sleep, I would like you to start please help desk trying to replicate this problem then to reboot in safe mode:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

  • When turning on my computer, the screen is black and I can see only the cursor, how can I fix it? Help, please.

    I think I have a virus or a virus that I was invited then in a different line of pop ups for unwanted ads and many ads of anti-virus indicating that I had the virus.  Last night my computer worked but when I turned on the screen shows my windows option then turns black with only the cursor visible.  I can access the Task Manager by simultaneously pressing Ctrl-alt-delete, but I'm not too handy with computers.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    If you can open the Task Manager try to manually open the desktop computer

    In the list of running tasks, type "explorer" (without the quotes) and run it.

  • MacBook Pro 2015 turns on but the screen remains black...

    Hello

    Today, I tried to turn on my MacBook Pro, but my screen stays black. When I press the caps lock button, it turns green which I guess means he lit. I've also heard the startup chime it generally makes when you turn on. I already tried to turn it on and off several times and reset the SMC and the LANDAU... The screen is always black.

    Could someone help me please?

    Also a few minutes ago the fan has started to make noise in the macbook...

    But the screen remains black.

    Thank you

    Shaynidw

    Hi shaynidw,

    From your description, it seems that your MacBook Pro is powered, as soon as you hear the startup chime and see the light on the keyboard.  Thus, it seems that the problem may be with your screen or the video card.

    On the screens you see when you start your Mac

    Power on

    When you turn on your Mac, display is off (black) and you hear a startup chime. Your Mac Initializes his BootROM and memory (RAM live). It then performs a power - on that self test (POST) and a test of BootROM. If you hear beeps or chimes at this stage, this indicates a possible hardware problem and start stops. If you add memory to your Mac, check that it is installed correctly.

    White screen

    After that only walking self-test is completed, your Mac sends a video signal to your connected screens. The screen may appear black or grey at this point in the boot sequence and backlight of the screen should light up. If you do not see the image appears on your screen after a few moments, try increasing the brightness of your screen. If you use an external monitor, make sure it is properly connected and turned on.

    shaynidw, if set up the brightness of your screen does not help, you have an external display (computer screen or TV) that you can attach to your MacBook Pro to test?

    In addition, you can try to start your computer in safe mode to see if you get different results.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the problem persists, you may need to take your computer to an Apple Store or service provider authorized Apple , so they can inspect the video card and cables to isolate the problem.

    Take care.

  • I can't turn on the screen

    Hello. I use rev version 1.1.0.0 01020 on an Alcatel OTF.

    Sometimes, after the lock screen (manually or automatically) I can not re - turn on the screen. It seems like it's the phone cut in itself because it is completely insensitive, but I can call it from another phone and it rings. When it rings, the screen stays off. Finally, I have to remove the battery to restart it.

    I understand that I can not solve this problem for the phone settings, I just want to know if this is a known issue and if it is fixed in a newer version. Thank you.

    Hi lufte.

    I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Alcatel OTF v1.1.

    I've not seen or heard of this issue with all devices in the past. It seems that it may be a hardware issue, in this case, contact the manufacturer and/or the place or buying support.

    Alternatively, you can try to reset your device settings to factory, or manual update of your device to a newer version.

    Warning: Resetting your phone will remove all data stored on the device, including applications, data from the calendar, e-mail accounts and settings.

    To reset the device, follow these instructions:

    1. Open the

      Application settings .

    2. Press the button of device information .
    3. Press the button more information .
    4. Press the button reset the phone .
    5. Press OK to reset your device.

    Thank you
