Computer laptop white screen at startup

A few days before, at a bend on a laptop, the screen remains blank (was not lit at all) but the computer sounded as if it was put into service. What are the possible causes for this problem?

2 did you change on your computer?
3. What is the brand and model of the laptop?
4. as you mentioned, "when you turn on your laptop, the screen remains blank (was not lit at all) but the computer sounded as if it was put into service ', what exactly happens when you start the computer?

  • Computer laptop white screen

    I have a computer laptop 'HP ENVY TouchSmart Sleekbook 4-1115dx", which is about two weeks after the warranty, and the screen is empty.  I currently have an old crt monitor hooked up to it and everything works fine with the machine - just can't see the screen.  Will I need to replace the whole screen, or can I just replace the Ribbon/string to the display through the hinges to the main unit?  Any suggestions with where can I buy parts for this would be very useful as well.

    Thanks for your reply.  I found that the 3 m tape was broke the cable of the LCD when you take the cover at the back of the laptop screen.  I unplugged then re plugged the cable Ribbon and respected band of restraint and large all worked.

  • Computer laptop yellow screen on startup

    I'm fixing my girlfriend's laptop. ; It's an HP dv6-3122us. I cleaned a bunch of junk she had there, but I can't seem to understand what causes the yellow screen. He appears at startup, once completed the Microsoft Windows loading through, but until the desktop comes up. It's just a yellow screen Uni with a pointer to the mouse over it (which can be moved). It remains like this for about a minute before the screen changes in the normal office environment. I ran Kaspersky, Avast and Malwarebytes to get rid of any virus/trojans/etc that are on it. I also manually uninstalled unwanted programs and used CCleaner to clean the computer and repair the registry. In addition, I updated the graphics driver, windows is up to date, and I tried to perform a clean boot. None of this seems to fix anything. However, when I start the computer in safe mode, the yellow screen does not come upward. Any ideas on that?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thank you for your valuable response.

    When you uninstall the driver and restart the computer, Windows installs automatically the generic drivers for answering your question driver have no problem. So based on the result I can explain it could be issue with the graphics card itself, I suggest you contact HP to check and change the graphics card.

  • HP 635 computer laptop blue screen at startup.

    I have important files on this laptop and while playing music this phone randomly cuts. I turned it back on and now ot support windows 7 in a few seconds and finally crashes with a blue screen.

    Then, I rebooted it and tried safe mode only to have nothing works. I tried to use ubuntu which usually works to remove the files that I need except the disk was not yet recognized until I chose to uninstall and do otherwise. I tried the recovery of windows 7 and it remains to do for some time and fails. I stuck inside another computer and for some reason any, it wouldn't start up, unless I plugged it in after that he began to start. This drive has never recognized. I finally tried new installation windows 7 as a last resort, but he then told me that it can not install the disk.

    I run hp diagnostics and I get 'Hard drive failure 1.' Is it possible possible to recover my files and get a new HDD without having to pay a ton of money to get everything back?

    HI Jeffreylbrown94:

    Thank you for your message.  I'm happy to help!

    I understand that you are getting the error 'Hard drive 1 fault.'.  This refers to a defect on the hard drive. I'll send "Troubleshooting Error Messages on a blue screen may occur during startup or Boot"  click here. You could try a Google search for some free or cheap data recovery software to recover your files.

    When I boot A85-s107 in battery power, it is get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.
    After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.

    There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
    Battery is fully charged and computer will work off the battery voltage if I remove AC after boootup

    Any suggestions?

    PS:

    also note that when I remove AC and then reconnect I start the computer on two occasions that it does not start the 1st time?

    Don t need to recharge the battery if the AC adapter is plugged ;)
    Try the tips posted by Alex otherwise it of a hardware problem, in my view, there seems to be something wrong with the motherboard...
    In this case, only the replacement could help and it could be a costly affair

    -J' had the computer almost 2 years warranty for 1 year.

    I'm looking for some advice, or what someone might think the problem is, so I know what to replace.

    Any ideas? It is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Anything it is displayed on an external monitor? If so, it's the screen or the cable and not the mother/gpu card. If this isn't the case, the new, it's worse. According the description, of course looks a catastrophic failure of the motherboard. The slight burning smell is really a bad sign.

    Here's a motherboard on ebay:

    The price is a little high but lower than HP would be. Go down you $ 20 for a Exchange. There are also several services advertised on ebay that will repair your device for about the same price or a little less.

  • Computer hangs on a white screen on startup with the keyboard is plugged.

    Original title: I have a problem starting

    I have a problem when I start my pc with my internet stick plugged and it hangs on a white screen. I have to get the key out and close my pc and reboot to get to the screen to login manually.

    This also happens randomly - some days it just starts with the key and the other days he dislikes the key and goes to blank screen.

    Why is this randomly - this is my question? If the settings are the same so why did happen randomly instead of blocking me or just start every time? Why is it random?

    Hi donga65,

    • To go through the other advice?

    Try Method 1 to downstairs, go to the method 2 If this does not resolve the issue.

    Method 1: You can update the drivers for the computer to check the issue. Log on to the manufacturer's Web site and install all the device driver updates including the chipset. See if it helps.

    Method 2: Make sure that the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) is not altered. Check the boot sequence and make sure that the hard drive is the first boot device. Check with the manufacturer for more details.

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    I hope this helps.

  • White screen on startup of the satellite C850

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite C850 PSCBWA-05E001 so 18 months out of warranty now.
    I bought it for a few friends, I gave him to who are in the Philippines, so it is difficult for me to check and repair. My friends lack the funds to get it checked if any help would be appreciated.

    Some days he started to initiate a white screen. You can see the mouse, but that's all. They are unable to get the computer display anything. I read on several forums that it could be a video cable however I got them to hooked to an external monitor to work through the laptop's VGA output & restarted the laptop & the external monitor goes to white screen which are also seems to exclude a faulty video cable as this would affect the monitor to the laptop only I think.

    I'm concerned that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

    Very disappointed for my friends since the machine is just out of warranty.
    Someone at - it ideas?

    > I am afraid that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

    Yes, I have fear of the motherboard must be replaced in case of malfunction of the graphics card of m.
    It would be the worst cases because the new motherboard is very expensive and in most cases it s not worth buying a new motherboard if isn t valid warranty more.

    I have no many solutions for you; It looks like a hardware problem and to resolve this problem, replace the defective part. But of course, it of a just a question of money :(

  • Lenovo Y510P does not start, the white screen at startup

    Hello world

    I got a Lenovo Y510P with SLI 750 m for about 1 year and 3 months now. 2 weeks (at the time, that I've upgraded to Windows 10). My laptop is suddenly unable to boot most of the time.

    When I press the power, it hangs on the initial empty screen with no logo pop up. I managed to get it started before, simply by restarting again and again, but it's been 3 days and no luck. He simply stays on a blank screen (no), although the keyboard button and the power light.

    Here are the steps I took to solve problems:
    -> Battery removed, disconnected ca, played "suppression of ephemeral power" now the power button for 60 seconds (did it this several times)

    -> RAM removed, changed slots etc. When there is no RAM, the computer continuously restarts
    -> Deleted HARD drive, reinstalled

    -> Removed 2 GPU. When the 2nd GPU is plugged in, the fan will try and turn from time to time

    -> Connectors disconnected to the wi - fi module

    -> Restarted several times

    -> Press the NOVO button, he just brings him to the white screen

    Any advice would be much appreciated. The laptop itself is in good condition and has little physical ware. Unfortunately, is no longer under warranty, and I don't know the cost to send it is quite high.


  • Cannot access a white screen at Startup - Mode safe

    I have a HP Pavillion laptop dx4 under Vista Home Premium.  I can't give a lot more in the way of care because all the thing will give me is a blank screen and I don't have the stored information.  This is what happened:

    My computer was working fine last time I used it with success, that 24 hours ago.  (I should point out that I do not use Incredimail, since this seems to be the root of the problem in a lot of posts I've read looking for help with similar problems).  Today, I opened the laptop, and when the screen is turned on, it was white Uni.  Tried the CTRL + ALT + DELETE, touch Windows, etc. but the computer did not respond.  A hold down the power button to restart - screen went straight to white when he turned his back.  Tried to go to Mode safe mode by restarting again by pressing F8, no luck.  Tried to let the computer just sit with the white screen, nothing happened.  I don't have a Vista installation CD, because the software was preinstalled when you buy.  Honestly, I don't know what could have caused this.  No error messages, no upgrades to facilities, or recent day etc.

    Any suggestions?

    If your laptop has been provided with recovery discs, there is a hidden restore partition that you would have access to the recovery disks. Probably too late now, although if you call HP support, they can offer a recovery disc for a small fee.

    It seems your display has no, or less connection to the motherboard, time to visit the HP repair shop

  • white screen on startup of Windows7 Pro on my PC

    My PC worked perfectly just three hours, but when he starts again this afternoon, I have a white screen and nothing else.  I can't get into safe mode, or do NOTHING at all.  I rebooted several times, but without success - all I get is a white screen.    I checked all the connections etc everything is as it should be.  What I can do. (I'll send this to my laptop)

    It is worth noting to do with Windows at all, you have a hardware problem, I guess the video card or onboard controller is bad or maybe something as simple as loose cable or bad.  Don't you hear beeb sounds of any kind?  The computer is still under warranty?  How old is it?  If you are not familiar or confident with the material ask someone who knows computers to help you or to take in a little tech shop that has a good reputation (not a big name, a big box computer store).
