  • I was running Mozilla firefox on my computer until two weeks ago. At that time, the screen went black and now I am not able to use it.

    I was running Mozilla firefox on my computer until two weeks ago. At that time, the screen went black and now I am not able to use it.  When I click on the icon and open to the top it says cannot load xp.com and a flag of resolution comes up saying it can't run a resolution less than 1930 x 2300. I have no idea what this means and how I can solve this problem.  I thought that maybe the application was bad, so I deleted and then added it back on and it does the same thing.  I even did a restore of the system to try hard but nothing I did the work.  So, how can I solve this problem.  I'm not a computer genius, so he must be explained in simple easy to understand instructions.

  • When I connect the HDMI cable to my laptop, the screen goes black and I can't lift the office unless I get out the HDMI cable

    When I connect the HDMI cable to my laptop, the screen goes black and I can't lift the office unless I get out the HDMI cable. It happened all of a sudden I used he linked TV to catch-up on TV episodes until last night when it happened out of the blue!
    Can someone please help with this.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop.  Also - that there might be a key combination for your laptop that changes the screen from the main output is - look at your documentation or on your keyboard for such a combination of keys (what kind of computer is? Make & model...)

  • Change the resolution of the screen and the screen went black

    Then I tried to change the resolution of the screen and the screen went black.  I tried to restart, plug in my HDMI port on my TV... Nothing.  So I went with a system refresh (yes I'm sure it was a refresh and not a restore).

    The fact that there is no integrated procedure to detect the moment where that happens and return to the old resolution is annoying enough...  But now after that choose the system update and it would be only to reset the settings to default back and keep all the files (as he said it would be), I am extremely frustrated to know that it has deleted ALL my programs.  Program E-v-e-r-y.  This means that Chrome, Firefox, jGrasp, AutoCAD, all my programs Microsoft Office, all my Adobe stuff, my Visual Studio and so much more that I'm not naming.

    I REALLY hope there is a place where they were stored so I don't have to reinstall everything manually.  If not, then wow, Microsoft... We finished.

    Unfortunately a refresh as he said, only maintains personal records (program data), the data can be located in the "in the"Windows"folder windows.old folder normally C /: Drive, all modern apps should be kept."

    All programs of office/legacy (Chrome, Firefox, jGrasp, etc.) need to be relocated from their original sources

    Keep all of your programs, personal files (data), settings, the best option is to create a "Disk Image" - see link below for info.

  • 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.

    Sandra

    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.

    Which starts the desktop computer?

    If not boot in safe mode and try to load a restore point from before you had the problem.

    You have questions that are beyond the scope of this forum.

    You have changed a systemboard and used the wrong part number. The motherboard you have used is for a computer laptop touchsmart dv8t, not a computer laptop dv8. This makes the troubleshooting your own question, because there are so many things that you have not made correctly.  If your laptop was not the touchsmart dv8t model, then there is a problem with the connector that connects the LCD screen and the motherboard. This is probably your biggest problem is.

    What is the number of complete product or the name of the product from your laptop?

    DV8 is a series of models which includes a portable, including version touchsmart allowed that you have installed.

    Hello.

    Most likely, you have enabled high contrast Mode, which is a function with people with disabilities.

    To disable it, press on and press and hold the 'Left Alt' and 'Shift Left' and 'Print screen' your keyboard at the same time. This will disable the function.

  • After you enable SLI on the Satellite x 200 mode the screen goes black

    Hi all

    my name is Alessio and I encounter the following problem with my Satellite x 200-24e with Vista home 32-bit:

    Recently, I updated the operating system and yesterday I updated the VGA driver with the latest version available on the web site of Toshiba (display-20080904102618), everything worked fine but when I activated mode SLI the screen went black.

    I restarted the laptop and I tried to boot Vista on a regular basis, but I still got black screen.
    Then I started Vista in safe mode and reload the VGA drivers to set the SLI mode since the safe mode did not identify the model VGA.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem and get the SLI mode working again (I was able to set the SLI mode before update the VGA driver)?

    Thank you

    This wonderful s information.
    It of strange that the screen was dark after the SLI has been activated but it looks like it's working now.

    Thanks for your comments

  • Qosmio G10-105: the screen is black

    I was asked to look at a Qosmio G10-105 by a friend who claims that it functioned very well until one day "the screen went black.

    It seems to start fine but there is absolutely no image on the screen with backlight, no and no image "Dim". The problem is that when I plug in an external display there is also no image at all however becomes the external display backlit, but that's all.

    Can I assume that this is neither the inverter, backlight screen or I get no image on an external display?

    Is it likely to be the graphics card? If so, is it replaceable or it is part of the motherboard?

    I tried 2 external displays

    Any help / ideas would be appreciated...

    Thank you
    Rob

    > Is it likely to be the graphics card? If so, is it replaceable or it is part of the motherboard?
    Hmm. It really looks like a graphics card problem
    It was a good idea to connect the external monitor to check if the same problem would appear on the second screen that there is a simpler way to find out if this problem could be linked to the TFT screen or the graphics card.

    The GPU chip set on the motherboard and in most cases (in your case too) the whole motherboard must be replaced :(

    Unfortunately, but it looks like an expensive affair :(

    Hello

    It of hard to say what's going wrong here, but maybe it s just a small issue that could be solved easily.
    Try this;
    Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter.
    A few hours and reconnect the two parts.
    I had this problem in the past and leave the laptop disconnected during the night.
    The next day, I connected battery and adapter A\c and the laptop worked again
