Computer Compaq laptop under Vista, the screen is blank, have to connect it to a TV to work

What can I do when my screen is white sometimes; I hang on to my TV to work >

Hi memytunip,

1 does go empty while you're working on a particular application?

I suggest that you update the graphics driver and check if it helps:

Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

  • Computer does not start after the screen goes blank & Compaq.

    Hello

    A few weeks ago, I turned on my PC and it showed at the Compaq screen and then went to a blank screen & would not respond. I held the switch button to turn it off and after 4 attempts, it start fine. Next time, it took 20 attempts to initialize and now it does not start, it will be maybe if I try like 100 times he can do... The problem is when the Compaq screen comes up it comes only for like a second so I know that it does not start, if the Compaq screen stays for a few seconds as 3 + I know it will load windows and start.

    History > the computer originally had XP and has been replaced with VISTA memory was 2 * 512MB, but it was a bit slow and I was advised to upgrade. I bought 2 * 1 GB memory and put it in my PC a few months there may be 5 + had no problem so far.

    I tried the following:

    Remove the memory and replace it. Remove the 2 * 1 GB of memory and its replacement by the Moose 2 * 512MB to check if the memory is at fault.

    Cleaning of the dust around the fan (at this point, I removed the fan over the CPU and cleaned the thermal compound from the CPU to make it nice and shiny, only tried to start one time after that for a few seconds heard blowing fan and turend it took off. Depuis_lors, I realized that it wasn't just muck and had a purpose na derwiche put a little more on)

    Remove the battery of the BIOS for half a day

    Move jumpers CMOS from1, 2 to 2, 3 positions

    I can not get into the same if BIOS start and hold F1 he will show me the BIOS for a second and then go to a black screen.

    You can take it to a repair center and they will return for you. You can also remove the hard drive and connect it to another computer to back up data (recommended for pros).

    If you have a high-capacity USB flash drive or external hard drive, you may be able to use the Recovery Manager HP back up files. You must press F11 when the computer is turned on (when you see the HP logo) to enter the Recovery Manager.

    There is no guarantee that all or part of your data can be saved from the HARD part is defective drive... Just try to do the first chance you get.

  • I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    * Original title: get the product key

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    Question: I'm new to LR and did install you on a Mac desktop computer and laptop.  On the laptop, the basic function under develop simply disappeared.  I'm lost.  Help.

    This is a common problem. The basic Panel is simply hidden.

    Billboards / of masking is actually a function of Lightroom, but it is intuitive--not many people know that there are - for the most newcomers are thrown when a Panel is somehow hidden.

    Right-click anywhere in the area of the Panel on the right hand side and a context menu will appear.

    Click on the basic option to re - appear the basic Panel.

    Hello

    If you don't see anything on the screen when you start, and this includes see the HP Logo, it would seem that it's a hardware problem.

    Hello:

    Yes, it was what I thought. I do not understand how the same pilot worked as a temporary solution.

    Decide for yourself after you have identified the cause of the problem. If it's just a matter of cable, I think it's worth repair. Otherwise, I have no idea, maybe it'd cost you big.

    Give it to get it repaired in a good local computer shop.

    Hi stuart-vm,.

    I looked at the Dell website for the resolution of the problems of touchpad.
    Look at the troubleshooting here.
    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=277550#Issue0_0

    This is information from Dell:
    Press the NumLock key on your Dell laptop
    In order to have the features of a 101 keyboard keys on a laptop key 85, the NumLock key active keyboard 10 key functions that would be normally resident on the right side of a standard keyboard. Simply press again to return to normal operation

    I don't know if it will help your problem.

    There is a link to the Dell Diagnostics to see if there is a hardware problem:
    http://search.Dell.com/results.aspx?s=DHS&c=us&l=en&CS=19&k=hardware+diagnostics&cat=SUP

  • My cat stepped on my laptop keyboard and the screen changed. How can I reverse this?

    My cat stepped on my laptop keyboard and the screen changed. How can I reverse this?

    Press Ctrl & Alt keys and use the arrows to rotate back.
     

    According to the graphics card on your computer, these can be alternatives.
     

    Right click on the desktop | Graphics options | Rotation.
     

    Right click on the desktop | Screen resolution | Orientation.
