External monitor works but integrated screen is not
Hello
I have a model of Macbook Pro 13 of the retina (mid-2013) .
A few months back the display has stopped working, but when I hooked to an external monitor everything worked as expected except the screen of course.
I took it to the service center and a descent computer repair shop and they both said that display connection with the logic board is fried and they need to fix the logic board that retina display is fine.
The price they are quoting is about $ 900, which is not fair.
The logic card cannot be repaired?
anyone else in a similar situation?
If all the otherwise failed I think I'll delete the entire display of macbook. Someone knows how to do this?
Thank you!
Welcome to the CSA!
Because of the tiny parts and connections on a logic board, repair is usually not an option. I don't say it can't be done, but it's hard to find someone who can / will work on resolder delicate bits on a LB (redistribution) without making a mess of labor law.
You live in the United States? If so, ask about a "repair." Instead of working on the computer in the Apple Store, they send to Apple rehabilitation center where they pretty much fix everything what they find wrong inside (with the exception of the display unit itself) for a flat rate that is much lower than the cost that you quoted for repair in the store. I believe that the current price for this service is approximately US$ 315.
The only downside I see is that the repair takes about a week, largely during the transportation to and from the depot.
If you are not in the United States, ask anyway. I don't know what Apple has implemented for this kind of repair outside the United States.

Out and adapter and the second fact 30 thing that did not work, I tried without the battery and still nothing at one point it seemed that updated operating system running but the screen does not (windows 7) any help would be great because I have a lot of work to do on my laptop
Hey AJ2106,
First of all, I wish you welcome on the HP Forums!
Like your laptop is by train (heard the noise of the fan and LED is lit), but the screen remains black, I suggest you to watch the following document 'computer won't start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)'. Now, this document you have already done the hard reset so you won't have to do it again once, but the part you want to follow the steps, is symptom: LEDs flow, the fan noise is heard, but the display is black or white.
Please let me know the results of the troubleshooting steps.
Looking forward to working with you!

Hi, I bought my laptop about two years ago. A few days ago the screen suddenly dies, and at startup, it flashes several times with the correct display, but then turns off. The backlight seems to stay on. When I use an external monitor with HDMI port, the external monitor works fine, however, the laptop screen remains empty. Here's a video of what it looks like when I first boot the laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmro4P1NmyY & feature = youtu.be , how can I do to fix this problem? Thanks, Wes
Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum. It is somewhat a problem when it comes to laptops that comes up from time to time.
The reason is there is a cable connected to the motherboard that goes back through the hinge area and connects to an inverter that powers the monitor.
Once the cable wears out, but more often just to move General around get you a loos to the inverter or the motherboard connection.
Here is a link to your Maintenance and service guide. You can use this to help pull the cable and inspect the connections.
Here is a video that will show you how essentially happen to things as well to test and check the cable.

(Laptop HP-2000) White screen, external monitor works.
(HP 2000 Notebook PC / Windows 8.1, 64-bit) Still white screen, external monitor works fine. What components could be defective? This occurred about six months ago about a week after the expiry of the one year warranty. Nonfortuitous.
Hello
You confirm this problem is intermittent, and now its working fine, it means that the question would be the display cable. The display cable is loose. Issue can be fixed by rebonding the display cable, if the problem persists then the display cable needs to be replaced.
This is the only reason why I asked you in the previous post if the problem was intermittent or display changed while moving the display cover.
This particular problem has nothing to do with the temperature.
Kind regards

Satellite A300 - system still works, but the screen is blank
Hello
I was downloading an update of tempro toshiba (synco or something in that sense) for my laptop Satellite A300 and the frozen screen. I pressed the power button for 5-10 seconds until it is turned off. When I turned it the system seemed to work but the screen is completely black.
I tried to remove the battery, and fn + F5 but the screen still won't turn on.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Rob.
Hello
It happened because of the updated BIOS, or during the common software update?
In case it was an update of the BIOS I recommend contact the ASP in your country, because it seems that the ROM module must be flashed again.If it happened during a common software update, so I advise to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour.
Then reconnect the two parts and check to see if you could power the laptop properly!Check it out!

Satellite M30X-111 screen does not display anything but the external monitor works
My laptop just screen does not display anything (like when the computer is turned off), but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop is displayed on this screen. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.
Again, I must plug the external monitor, and after I tried to restart, I continue to pressing F8 but the startup mode is not come, the noise of when you press a button for too long beeps, however, the monitor of the laptop working again.
How can I solve this problem?
What do you do? You want to recover the laptop?
If Yes, you n press any F8 but you will need to boot from the recovery CD by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop.But this question seems that you have accidentally switched to external display.
I recommend checking the Fn + F5 option. This combination allow you to switch between the display and the external monitor. -

Half of the screen and then "working" and after a while the screen turns white.I have a link that says get the answer, but you have to pay for it and I don't want to pay for something, if I'm not sure 100% if I get the right answer.

I hope you understand what I am trying to explane.
This is the link. http://www.experts-exchange.com/hardware/Laptops_Notebooks/Q_21759183.htmlGreetings hans visser
Hello
According to your description there is certainly some malfunction of the display. If everything works with external display, this means that you might not suspect graphics card. The display must be replaced.

External monitor connected to the Dynadock does not work
I just bought a docking station universal toshiba dynadock via amazon.com (latest version). I plugged on an Acer Aspire 5738zg computer laptop, Windows 7, 64 bit.
Everything works great - except for my external monitor (6 months old packard bell viseo 190w, 18.5 inches, max resolution 1366 x 768 at 60 Hz)The dynadock manual says connect with monitor dynadock station via a vga cable - what I've done. Job monitor is completely black. The manual says then click the icon in the field of system status / tray (do not know what the word - the small icons at the bottom of the screen on the right screenfor side which) to configure the dynadock to be extended or mirror mode.
Problem is that the icon does not exist. I have the icon for the audio part of the dynadock and icon for the system whole dynadock (icon called "toshiba dynadock tool" - here I can release the docking for example, but do not do anything on video/screen).
I checked and the video/screen the dynadock element was installed togheter with everything - the installation was complete and successful. Still no icon if...
I'm not watching videos or games, just be able to use my external when monitor I surfing online and you use microsoft word etc. - no data transfer gigantic so far as I can tell.How to solve this? Via the control panel of my laptop? How...? :-)
I'd appreciate some advice that I am completely lost as to how to solve this problem (tips preference in the form of a very easy step by step 'manual' as I'm absolutely not an expert in computer science, just a regular user).
Hi nanna.
I think that the best way to solve this problem is to download and install the latest graphics driver for the dynadock.
So please, use this link, download and install the driver.
http://www.DisplayLink.com/support/downloads.phpIf the external display doesn´t not working after installing the driver, please do a right mouse click on desktop and verify the "screen resolution".
You should see 2 screens.
If this is not the case - there is an error during the installation of the utility dynadock.In this case, please visit the toshiba page
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and download the latest dynadock utility.Please chosse: Options - connectivity - Docks & replicators - Dynadock
You will find the version 2.4.0.13
hope this will help you!
Best regards

White laptop of Lenovo Windows 7 screen... .external monitor works
Don't know if I should ask this here... but... I have a laptop lenovo of 64-bit WIndows 7. Suddenly two weeks, the screen went black... It was working fine until I barely touched to adjust the angle and the screen went away. At startup, I very very VERY vaguely see the Thinkpad logo then nothing. Took it to the repair shop, first of all, they thought it was a problem of backlight, but a new screen OEM does not solve the problem. Now, they say it's probably the motherboard. New MB costs as much as the computer (it is obviously OQ). It works fine with an external monitor, tho which kind of defeated the purpose of the laptop. Want to just an opinion... is this really very likely the MB or is it something else? Thanks for any info.
Hello
You need check the connection between the screen and the motherboard. The connection could have been disconnected with you have changed the angle of the screen. There are tutorials on youtube on how to do it.David -
Tecra M5 - external monitor detected but not image
Hello
I just bought Tecra M5 for use with my external NEC monitor. However, regardless of the configuration, I try I get no image on the monitor. The LED on the monitor indicates that it receives the signal from the laptop but the monitor remains black pitch. The monitor works obviously very well, I just disconnected from another laptop.
I tried all possible settings in the nVidia control panel, but without success. I also changed "Power On Display" in the BIOS "Screen LCD + Analog RGB" but no luck either.
I have v.3.70 of BIOS and graphics card drivers v.7.15.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
MikePS When I press Fn + F5, I have no options to choose from, unlike the other FN +... combinations. I don't know that it should be everything, but it is perhaps worth mentioning.
Also when I select only 'use a view' of the nVidia control panel and select my NEC monitor in the list, the monitor turns on and the light turns green, but the screen is still black. Like I can't accept changes the output switches to the computer screen after a few seconds.
Hello
I think you should test with the preinstalled Toshiba operating system.
After that the laptop was recovered, connect the external monitor and use the FN + F5 in order to detect the external display. -
Video work and laptop screen does not, but I know it's good.
I have a Latitude CPX I am recently used and it seems to work on an external monitor. I know that the laptop screen/video cable is good because I put it in another CPX I have and it works fine. I reconnect the video cable to the motherboard several times to be sure, and he did nothing. I can see the backlight lights up weakly and finally color sort of purge on the screen. What I don't understand is how the video a normal job and not the laptop screen? I thought that if a video chip went bad it would work or not. Any light you can do on the situation would be appreciated.
