Failed to start the laptop - screen remains black

My laptop does not start. Power led and load are also on, HDD LED, but has black screen.
If I hit F12 when starting with my recovery disk in, I can hear the CD being run/search but screen remains black.
Seems to me that the (bios) boot is corrupted. Anyone can advice?

Hello

As far as I know that these issues are resolved for the most part in combination with the BIOS and update the display driver.
Maybe you should try to update both of them.

  • Blue Screen stop Codes, failed to start the laptop at all the

    I have an Inspiron running XP Media Center edition.  Something strange happened last night where the power was interrupted during the closing down and the laptop has become something weird Media Center Genuine Advantage. I don't know what it was, I was half asleep at the time.

    In any case, this morning, I can't start the laptop.  It brings me to a screen where I have the option of waiting for Windows to start, start Windows normally or start in safe mode.  None of these work.  They bring me straight to a blue screen with stop code: 0 x 00000024.  Then, in parentheses, there these: 0 x 00190203, Ox8651F288, 0xC000102, 0 x 000000000.

    I searched a bit, and seems the only solution that I found the recovery utility, but I have a few questions about it.  One, I lose my data? Two, it says it's for advanced users, and I'm not an advanced user.  I'll be able to use it?  Three, you need a CD of the OS to run it, and I don't have a CD when I bought my Dell laptop.  I don't think I even offered to pay extra to get a copy (it was awhile I bought it).  Can I get a CD of the OS through Dell?  I know that you can burn a backup copy of Windows, but I only learned after the beginning of this problem.

    Any other maybe solutions?  Thank you.

  • Satellite A210 - 1 4 - failed to start the laptop computer just orange light

    OK, so this is what happened:

    While my friend was working on his laptop computer that she had his charger plugged but it did not load. I discovered that the lead from the Charger AC/DC had frayed and should resolidering. After that the laptop was working fine, I looked inside the laptop to check the AC plug connector before I fixed the cable.

    I noticed that the WiFi card was broke, so I changed it to a WiFi card in my other laptop used. After back the laptop together and put the battery in, the lights on the front flash blue only and the power light stays orange as if the laptop is in stand-by mode. I can hear the hard drive turns and the CPU heats more CD-ROM drive works, but I can't start that the laptop just sits there with the Orange.

    I tried out the CMOS battery, I took out the main battery and just used the AC/DC adapter, but the same thing happens.

    ANY IDEAS?

    Hello!

    I'm not sure, but what happens if you remove the WiFi card you created in? The new card is may be defective or not compatible with the laptop.
    You can start without WiFi card?

    To me, it looks like a hardware problem and your laptop should be checked by a technician of the laptop. Maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced or something else

  • Alienware x 51 starts, but the screen remains black.

    I bought my x 51 all with warranty 1 year ago a year and a half, recently it has been giving me some problems and today I can't use it yet at all.

    The problem started with my screen remains black when I turned on my computer (punt, never awake from sleep), but which would be corrected by me once or twice by restarting the computer. That did not last too long, and soon it did not matter how many times I rebooted the computer. I finally had to unplug the computer and press and hold the power for 30 seconds to see if it worked.

    He did, but this solution has worked only once, and now I have nothing seems to regularize my situation. I tried switching monitors and cables with my brother (who is an identical 51 x), but nothing has worked.

    To summarize:

    My computer turns on.

    Not funny lights or noises (save a beep on startup)

    Screen remains black on reboot of the screen it says he receives no signal and falls asleep.

    No problem when it runs normally (not funny colors, stripes on the screen or blur).

    Help, please. Dell support wants 70 to 110 dollars to listen to even my problem, which is money, that I don't have at the moment.

    Thanks for anything that might help!

    Sounds like you have a dead video card, from the link above looks like there is no output from vga Intel to tun tests, you must remove the old video card and test with another video card that works to verify that the card is in fact dead, like your brothers x 51 remove the video card and test it on your machine.

    If I had this machine in front of me I would use one of these babies for once then run tests on the video card.

  • Satellite A300D is runnig but the screen remains black

    Hello!

    I have a big problem with my Satellite A300D.

    This morning I forgot to connect my laptop to the net elec, and so my battery drains.
    When I reconnected and restarted my laptop I could see the Toshiba and splash screens of Windows, but after these the laptop screen becomes black.

    You can see the cursor, but the rest disappeared.
    The screen is all black.

    Strangely, when I press ctrl + alt + delete, the vista opens again, and I can select and view the Task Manager.

    What should I do!

    Hello

    There is a solution that could help bring back the screen.
    in Notepad, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait about 30 minutes and reconnect the two parts.
    Then try again to put the laptop.

    In many cases, this procedure helped to set something like this.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

    Hi all

    My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

    After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

    I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

    I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

    That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

    EDIT:
    After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

    So, if this happens to you:
    1. turn off your computer.
    2. wait about 30 minutes.
    3. start in safe mode
    4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

    It should work.

    Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

    The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

    Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

    So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
    And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

    But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

  • The license is delivered, the screen remains black.

    I have a compiled the sample player, have a 'work' license server, package seems to work as well, but the garbled game content does not.

    1. If you use the policy made by CreatePolicyWithOutputProtection, I get "NoDigitalProtectionAvail" as error message in the client, tomcat said:

    Thank you

    Hi Martin,

    1. If you use a policy that contains the output of protection, please ensure that you use a Windows Vista or higher operating system.  The OSX and Linux OS currently do not expose mechanisms to activate the output Protection, this packaged content with that restriction will fail to play on these operating systems to an external monitor.  If you use a Windows machine, make sure that the external monitor that you are using is HDCP, and your cable is also consistent.  Another test, that you can run to check the operation of output Protection is to use a laptop computer (or any other device with an internal screen) to read the content.  The laptop screen is not considered to be an 'external', Content Protection output on has yet to play.

    2. If you use a strategy with authentication enabled, your video player must first authenticate with the license server before purchasing a license.  You have not authenticated yet, which is why you see your mistake.  Authentication can be done via the DRMManager.authenticate () method.  You can find an example of coding by referring to the "Sample video players" directory on your DVD Flash (or access your electronic copy, if you purchased Flash Access via ESD).  Of particular interest is the file "TestVideoControl_WI.mxml" - take a look at the method 'loadVoucherFR()' for the sample code.

    3. There are 2 servers implementations provided with Flash Access.

    a. flash Access Server for protected streaming

    b. flash access Reference Implementation

    Solution 'a' is a servlet that is ready to deploy that has minimum functionality and is oriented toward the use case being protected streaming HTTP.  No source code included.

    'B' is a reference implementation complete with almost all the capabilities of the Flash Access SDK.  The source code is included for the customer to create and deploy their own server.

    * You read the section of the documentation that describes the servlet "Protected streaming", which uses the concept of "tenants".  Article 9 of our documentation (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashaccess/2.0/protecting_content.pdf), you will see a section of "license server and watched folder Packer ', which describes the reference implementation (the server you seem to currently use).

    see you soon,

  • 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.

  • Screen remains black after start-up M30X 124

    Hey there...

    I hope someone can help, or at least has the same problem. I read trough this forum but can't find anything similar. Description of the problem:
    After pressing the button 'Start', the laptop is a short sound (HDD - load I guess), and then nothing happens. The screen stays black, no sound at startup, loading, fan, hard drive. The only solution that I have because it is to stop the computer again (by pushing the Start button... 7 seconds), rechargable battery, put it in place and try again. I had this problem for 4 or 5 times now, for two weeks. This issue scares me. This may indicate that something in my laptop will soon die...? !

    Thanks in advance... Welcome, Dero!

    Hello

    This problem occurs with use of the battery or if the device is connected to the power adapter?
    Have you had problems with the battery charging procedure?
    I'm not sure, but I guess there is something wrong with the battery or the electronics of power supply. I recommended to remove the battery for the work with the AC adapter. Try to discharge the battery completely several times.
