First white screen of death, now black screen on the internal, external screen works

Hello

a few months before I could not suddenly start my macbook more. He had the white screen of death and absolute no functionality in addition to its departure.

A few days ago I got the macbook, open/close a couple of times so that it is operated and suddenly the keyboard LED lit and the screen

turned black. I realized that he really started and connected to the external monitor. everything works fine now in addition to the internal display.

I run Apple Hardware Test mode clamshell, but extensive testing even said that there is no material errors.

can I conclude that my screen is not faulty? I thought it of the graphics chip, but wouldn't the AHT it detects then?

Another thing to mention is that the battery should be changed (warning hint)

I tried PRAM - & resetting the SMC without success.

MacBookPro 13 "A1278 mid-2012.

I would really appreciate any kind of advice.

Thanks in advance

Alex

The symptoms you describe point to a faulty screen or display connection.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a final assessment.  The event will be FREE.

    Hello

    Try a reset of the monitor. Unplug the power cord from the monitor and hold the power button of the monitor for 30 to 60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and it lights up.  Does that help?

    Consult this Manual.  Go into the on-screen display-->> volume and turn up to max all the sounds?

    Don't forget that you have a green audio cable plugged into the monitor and audio output on your PC port. Don't forget to unplug the headphones.

    Try a PC speaker separated in order to eliminate the PC as the problem.  You can also try the monitor and cable on another PC.

    Hi Robert,.

    If your screen is displayed correctly on an external monitor, then it indicates that your chip graohics still work correctly, then you the problem must be with the LCD itself, the FL inverter or the connecting cable to the main Board. I would recommend that you contact an authorized Service partner who can perform other tests to diagnose the fault.

  • My 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge for copy/printing black a black paper on the glass top...

    My 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge to black for a black document on copy/printing tray, but use black cartridge to print in black from the computer itself.

    In other words:

    (1) if I have a document with a black print in Microsoft word on my hard drive and I want to print this document in black print, while the 3-in-1 works fine. In other words, is the black cartridge can print a document in black to a black document.

    (2) if I take this same document which has just been printed in black and put one on the glass and try to produce a black document thereof using the copier function, the 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge to produce the black document... .more is very slow (the same speed it would be if I were to produce one side of color of color documents.

    Of course, it cannot be the black cartridge.

    Through a long trial and error process, I got lucky and I resolved and the resolution is not what I was expecting and makes no sense to me.

    Use the settings of the printer itself, I just changed the setting from "automatic" to the "plain" paper and the setting in 'text' value 'None '.

  • Y580 - white screen of death?

    I recently bought a used Y580. He had 3 USB ports (USB 3.0 I guess) does not screen had stopped coming on or even turning the power on, and an external monitor would work on this subject. When I first turned it on, the Lenovo logo came on the screen for one second and then he went. It was a cold start.

    First, I replaced the screen, which I should have known was not the problem because he came once. No improvement.

    Secondly, I replaced the cable from the monitor, which, again, I should have known was not the problem because he came once.

    That made it worse. Now, when I turn on the machine, the screen has no power for about 20 or 30 seconds. Then he powered away and turns very slowly to the white suit. It's as if the screen is all pixels turn slowly until they are all on, all white. I did two times but decided to turn it off for the sake of fear that I have would be detrimental to the screen.

    Oh, one last thing. When I opened it to the top, I found that someone had already been in the laptop and the right monitor hinge was broken. Screw external incoming in this area would not go out (just spun) and internally, the motherboard was missing a screw from the hinge. Then when I opened the upper part, the hinge support finished braking ripped off and came all the way upward and out of the Assembly section. There is a black wire that goes over there, but it is not connect on the screen in any way that I can see. I was wondering if it was a kind of ground, and when it is completely broken, it caused a problem.

    Any ideas what could cause white screen, it?

    Thank you.

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    It turns out that the new screen, I bought was not good. I went back to my original screen, which was good, and of course, the screen now works, I decided.

    NOTE: the original monitor problem does have to do with the monitor cable not being plugged into the motherboard sure enough, that's why it would work briefly, then suddenly the screen turns off, as if she had no power.

    Thanks for the help!

    My Blackberry Bold 9700 had the white screen of death and will seek to revive, but while loading could fail and then repeat it, I then he backed up using the Blackberry Desktop Software and tried to do the reset of the system using this...

    3. After the configuration of the aircraft has been recovered, you will be on the device Application selection page.  You can scroll through the list for all desired applications are selected.  You can also deselect all applications that you do not use to save space.  Click Next.

    Help, please

    It could be at this stage.  I'm leaning more towards the software side.  Can you take the device to the store and reload the software?  If we give them problems, then the material may be failing.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Black screen, white screen & reload software 507

    This is my first post on a forum, so please, be gentle.

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8530.  Several months earlier, during a daily use, the screen would go black all of a sudden.  A battery pull would solve this problem for a while.  Finally, it has become more common.  Symptoms have changed (it seems that if I put the phone down too quickly it would reset), the phone turn on, then immediately go to a white screen where everything was undetectable by my computer.  I contacted my service provider and they said the phone was toast and (surprisingly) gave me a free ready to use for the duration of my contract (all information transferred via an old backup, so nothing has been lost) after that my new phone work I left my curve is connected to my office.  Yesterday as I was leaving I watched again once the phone, and the screen was white and telling me to reload software 507.  I plugged my computer to start the process and to my surprise, the computer has detected all of a sudden the phone and successfully upgraded the software.  Everything was beautiful, I exceeded the password stage and he would just start to recharge my information when the screen faded empty again.  I always free loan phone, so it's not a big deal, but it's so annoying as to what could be the problem.  Now the computer can detect is more the phone again.

    Thanks for reading my long post.  Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

    Chance if you can do a battery pull and try

    for a reload of software.  No guarantee, because the computer does not pick up the phone on a consistent basis.

  • Save the MacBook Pro - white screen of death

  • Problem with the iPhone OS. Have to restore it several times and it now has white screen flashing with Apple logo

    Got my iPhone SE a little over a month since the Thailand of the Apple Store.

    First he couldn't restore entirely made from a backup so I had to delete all data and content then restored again. Then try to restore from a backup, still have problems (apps froze, failed to synchronize all of the apps, then tried to shutdown phone and glued on white background with the Apple logo).

    Try to third, I put my phone in recovery mode and restore as a new iPhone. All original content is now gone. Should it start again.

    Then small annoying problems occurred. For example, I could not find applications in the App Store, could not download new free applications, could not buy music on the iTunes Store app. It seems that Internet was frozen, when in fact it works always fine when try browsing on Safari. Facebook froze and could not push Home button to close App game graphics making static sound glitches but always disappear when him restart the application. Can't post photos on a social media application because my whole library of photos seems to be empty, when in fact he was always there. When I was taking pictures, the preview images were extremely blurry, and when checked in Photos app there is no trace of this photo that I took. I tried to close all the applications and open it again but the problem still persists. So I close the phone and restart it just to find that it stuck on the white screen with the Apple logo once more. Then, I took the phone to the Apple service provider. They restore the phone as a new iPhone for me and I had to start over once again. Only 4 days after this, my iPhone application suddenly found me a new unlock access code within 60 minutes without reason. I have to reset hard to solve the problem. And after that, the same day, my iPhone starts to blink on and outside and sometimes the white screen with the Apple logo appears.

    Whenever I said my problem of staff Support from Apple or the Apple service provider, they told me that it was a software problem. How can I when I do all these problems again and again from the beginning until now? Can anyone suggest me the right way to solve this problem? What problem do you think it's from? I can't take this anymore. I need a good show, not working iPhone undesirable. I can't keep it restore/reset/reboot over and over again like this. Please, help me.

    Take it to an Apple Store for the assessment of the guarantee.  If you have restored to factory settings, and these problems persist, there is a hardware problem, no matter what you' re said.

  • iMac 8.1 White Screen of Death

    Before I launch into history, here are some of the relevant features of my computer. I have an iMac 8.1 (2008 model) with a processor clocked at 2.66 DC2, 2 GB of RAM and a hard disk of 1 TB with three partitions. The main (about 640 GB) ran 10.11, the second a (32) snow leopard and the rest it has been implemented with Windows 7. This configuration worked well enough (if a little cludgily) for some time, but the other day, things came to a head.

    It has a bit of history history, please bear with me.

    Monday, after the computer has been awkwardly slow with no application, I thought to reinstall El Capitan to see if that would help. After the installation failed, I ran disk utility on the main partition to see what he would say. After a brief inspection, he said that it was a problem he couldn't solve, recommended making sure that my data has been backed up and clear. The Snow Leopard partition, however, seemed fine. Somewhere along the line I also gave Techtool Pro 8 a spin; It seems to indicate that most of the things associated with non-partition were very well, but found that the hard drive (in general) has failed to test temperature.

    In any case, I boot in Snow Leopard, I guess to see if the old version of disk utility would have a bit more luck (this may sound stupid, but I confess I have a lingering distrust of the latest iteration of this software). As expected, he did not progress. I even ran DiskWarrior 4, and he says that the partition was shot. Somewhere along the way, I had disassembled the main partition for a reason, and after not being able to get him back for some time (and getting only ReadOnly when she didn't come back), I myself resigned and the likelihood that the partition was shot. We ran by Best Buy and picked up a 1 TB external drive (which I never had before, as stupid as it sounds; "I guess I never realized to cheap ways they had obtained). I spend a night using carbon copy to backup my important data and when I'm done moving things on the next day morning, delete this partition. So far so good. I reinstall El Capitan without any hitch and spend a day or two, transfer of information on the 'new '. I also make sure to configure the new disk as a time Machine, get all my data saved on it.

    Things seem to be fine, and I'm starting to get back to my daily routine. However, this morning, after the connection and use it for a little while, the entire screen changes abruptly a very light grey/white color and no unresponsive. I understand that nothing is happening, stop and restart the power. The screen remains white. The slider appears, but nothing big happens else. At some point (I'm afraid I don't remember if it's on this first boot or one of the few later), a folder with a flashing question mark appears (this never appeared, however, on one or two startups). I try different things: reset PRAM (which at least brought the sound chime, who had kept silent, back), reset the SMC and boot into safe mode, a disc hard my choice with the Option key pressed, or since the Snow Leopard DVD. When he answered the optionkey down initially, it would shoot the cursor and screen as if he was going to offer me different drives, but nothing ever came, not even the external drive. After further start attempts, he stopped to show anything, even the cursor.

    I have the external drive disconnected right now. When you start the computer, a white screen comes up and then nothing else seems to happen, no matter what key combos are pressed.

    It was for some time ago, but I thought it would be useful to mention that we sometimes have blackouts here. After such an event, old computer power supply burned and had to be replaced. Since that time, however, everything seemed to work pretty well.

    I looked around, discussions and others to try to see if I could find a similar experience, but as it is I'm quite puzzled. The only thing I have not tried is opened and unplug the hard drive as suggested by an intern, to see if she might try to find other media to boot from.

    I thought I would ask here to see if he has any advice this community had to offer before doing something drastic. Thanks for reading and your review.

    If you have the original install disc provided with the computer, run Apple Hardware Test Mode Extended 2 - 3 times back to back. If errors appear when you have confirmed a significant hardware problem the computer has to go repair. The reason to run AHT in Extended Mode what is complete, but it can miss errors during the first and even the second pass.

    However my guess is have some other hardware problem and you really takes them to a CENTER in your area to be diagnosed professionally.

  • Stor.E TV + White Screen of Death"

    My box packed yesterday, surprisingly 1 day after her 1st birthday! All I get now is a white glitter on the front panel display.

    Means that the box has not experienced a catastrophic failure, or did I suspect a blockage of the software. If it is the latter, how do I do a hard reset?

    The script was:
    I transferred files from the box on my home network. This went well.
    I navigated to the folder video using the remote control, selected a video I want to resume playback.
    The curriculum vitae of confirmation popup does not work, he bombed at the store screen logo then at home.
    I've sailed to the video and allows FFx16 to get to the point where I wanted to. It has bombarded the logo again.
    I noticed the screen says "loading" Panel, while the logo showed, then returned to the House.
    Thinking he has hung up, I thought that a reboot of power would be sort so I turned off with the remote control.
    I gave it a few minutes and then power on. The screen showed just a flickering white screen.
    Then, I disconnected all cables and power supply and left for an hour. Once again, same WSoD under tension.

    I noticed other comments on this forum ask questions about the reset of the box, but someone is there never an answer that worked?

    I can't do any connection box to my pc of office on site with the USB device or the network cable on a browser by using the intellectual property which it had sold.

    Since it is under warranty I opened the box to look for a jumper to reset, no luck. Also, no sign of battery backup to perform to get first start start. The design is beautifully put together with the help of SMD components and connectors firmly waiting. I disconnected a Samsung 1 TB Sata HD, then reconnected when he put it back together. He turned again on same buthe WSoD.

    Someone at - it ideas on how to this reset to life?

    TIA

    Hi Malc

    > I noticed other comments on this forum ask questions about the reset of the box, but someone there never an answer that worked

    You can reset the Stor.E + only in the configuration of the system Stor.E. There is an option called default restore
    But if you are not able to get the system configuration, you will not be able to restore the settings so that this option is useless in your case

    Looks like its common 1 TB SATA 3.5 HDD you could connect it to a USB port using a controller USB-to-SATA it is maybe you would help to gain access to files on the HARD drive otherwise I guess the HARD drive died.
