• HP 17-g121wm: goes black screen, but the computer still running (Linux)

  I use HP 17-g121wm laptop. The screen turns off at random 2-5 minutes after the start, sometimes earlier. The computer will still run, but the screen will be black (the backlight seems to stay lit, however). Any buttons I press on, nothing makes the screen back on, so I have to press the power button to turn off the laptop and back on.
  
  This problem does not occur when I start in Windows, but when I boot in Linux (I tried Ubuntu and Arch linux), the problem persists.

  I tried to boot with the kernel parameter 'nomodeset' grub, but when I do that I can't enter a graphical environment, because the amdgpu driver is based on Kernel Mode Set (KMS) without nomodeset.
  
  I prefer to use Linux on this laptop for programming and development, preferably of Arch Linux. So, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I run Linux distributions on my desktop PC and from your description, the problem is almost certainly the lack of video drivers, especially in the case of the AMD video chipsets.

  I'm not familiar with the Ark, but I don't know with Ubuntu, which I had problems driver AMD for several versions now, and the last, Xenial 16.04, fglrx drivers simply will NOT work because they are not supported with the new version of the kernel and will not be - as AMD is working on a new driver open source to replace fglrx.

  HP forums provides no support for Linux issues, if my suggestion is to check with the forums Linux appropriate for each distribution.

  In addition, as you use a video chipset AMD, you might find the info you need on the Phoronix forums: AMD/ATI Linux - Phoronix Forums

  Good luck

• Black screen, but still works Satellite P200-01:00 - backlight is dead?

  Hello everyone.
  IM on the computer of my aunt and uncle and he has a problem: the screen is dark, but not dead. I mean, I still see things, but very slightly.
  But, on an external display, everything is ok.
  I searched on several forums and it seems that is what I thought: retro light appears to be dead.
  Do you know if it could be something other than the backlight dying?

  And do you know if it is easy to repair myself, if its possible to buy the piece, or I have to go to a store?
  The computer is a toshiba P200-01:00, 5 years ago so not under warranty more.

  Thank you very much

  Gilles

  I'm pretty sure FL inverter is faulty.
  > Do you know if it is easy to repair myself...
  It is not easy to do without maintenance manuals and experience in laptop disassembly. You know very well that one false move can damage the brackets made of plastic and you will have the problem.

  In my opinion try to contact Toshiba service initially. Ask how much you should pay for repairs.

• Satellite L300D - black screen but powers and FN light answer

  Hi, I have my friend L300D that is given to me to be fixed. I'm not a technician, but the kind of interested in the business of fixing :)

  Recently laptop screen just went black.

  Symptoms:
  -Laptop power on when you press the power button, but nothing coming screen.
  -Caps lock does not respond when you press him.
  -No hard drive light not flashing.
  -Power LED light and adapter lights up constantly.
  -Caps lock flashes once the first second

  -Fan turns and no problem of heat.
  -Laptop can always power off when you you press power button for 5 seconds.
  -Is no beep or display any changes then from these modules removed from ram.

  He looks dead to me, but fortunately, it's not quite dead because the FN button seems blinking light under the F10 key. It is the only evidence that I have on this laptop telling me that it is not quite dead.

  I tried to put the latest bios file in a floppy 1.44 MB fat16 formatted in a usb floppy drive and the f key down before I plug in the charger, but still no change. I also tried B of WIN, the FN B, WIN ESC, the FN ESC.

  Please can someone give me some advice.

  Hello

  For me, it looks like serious hardware problem.
  What you can do is to test the device with an external monitor:
  Connect the external display and check if you see something like start screen for Toshiba, etc if you see something like that, then internal laptop screen is defective and must be replaced if not if nothing would seem-> the related problem of the motherboard.

  Hello

  On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

  Try to use the following method to see if you can install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

  Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

  Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

  Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

  When finished, restart the laptop.

  If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

• When I cut my phone I see a black screen, but the lights shine, could someone help?

  When I turn on my laptop I can see is a black screen, but the lights turn on, could someone please help me with this?

  This is a seller on eBay who will fix it for $100:

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/HP-DV2000-dv6000-DV9000-no-video-laptop-Reball-repair-6-month-warranty-/180928872542?PT=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2033805e

  These guys have different levels of service; cheaper if you remove your motherboard and that just send.

  You have a port monitor on the laptop. Hang a regular computer to the laptop monitor and the power. Press the fn key and the f4 key when you rewind to see if it appears on the external display. If this is probably just a screen.

• Games black screen when I run them in Windows 7.

  All the games that I got when I used Windows Vista were playable. Now with Windows 7, whenever one of my games starts in mode full screen, my screen goes black and does nothing else. The monitor still detects my computer because the monitor gave me no error of missing data. I can't alt + tab or Ctrl + Alt + Del or same WindowsLogo + Tab and I have to cut the power, then restart. After researching long tiring send me of these suspects like DirectX 11, disabling Aero, all the popular Miss computer requirements to play the game I could play until I installed Windows 7. My conclusion was that I could play games as long as there is not in full-screen mode or, in other words, the Windowed Mode.

  Why do I play all my games in Windowed Mode play on Windows 7? Is there a way to fix this?

  Find it me happen as well...

  Crysis, crysis 64 bit, world of warcraft, FarCry2... pretty much any game that launches full-screen.
  I put around the question a couple of times... some games allow you to set the options before the launch (games steam for example, fallout3 etc)... but if they launch full screen, you can't even Ctrl + Enter (if the game supports this feature ;))... screen keyboard mouse seem to simply disappear.
  I fixed it by disabling comodo defense + (note, you may have to disable in the main comodo - > defense + -> Advanced-> settings Defense + -> checkmark "disable the defense + permanently ')... guess I'll just have to trust any of the game developers to hide Trojans.
  If you have a Trojan Guard any... turn it off and see if they launch without a problem... (remember to turn it back on when done) if he does contact the manufacturer of the Trojans guard and let them know his past... perhaps win7 is different than vista and they freeze the process thinking that it is a Trojan or malware.

• Satellite C650 - black screen but the laptop is running

  A week ago I leave my laptop on charge all night. When I tried to turn on the morning you could hear the laptop to work but the screen was 'black', the loading screen was not visible.

  I don't use the laptop for a few days, thinking that he has beaten and when I turned on the laptop screen started loading upward. However, a few days later, when using my laptop for a fair bit of time, the screen started to Flash and then 3/4 of the screen went black. I always thought of my office in the rest of 1/4 of the screen.

  It is then resolved itself, but to be on the safe side, I close the bottom removed the battery, and now I'm running the mobile sector. So far no problem.

  Anyone know what could be the cause of the problem? I think it could be due to overheating, but I'm not sure, when I took it to PC world, the 1st time, the problem arose, the tech guy said that maybe my motherboard was gone and should probably replace.

  On this virtual path, we can only speculate what the problem maybe, but if guys tech says a word perhaps even though he was not 100% sure why this happens.

  These questions must be considered by the service and diagnostic tools. As long as it works correctly, it's OK.

• iPhone 5s does not have black screen, but the phone is still on

  So I have a very strange problem that I couldn't really get on Google.

  My iPhone doesn't come 5, after going to sleep, using the power button (my home button does not work). It will randomly start being sensitive, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after a few hours.

  By trial and error, I realized that cool the phone seemed to work fairly regularly (but not 100%), but now this method no longer works.

  I'm sure that the phone is still because when I call, he goes not to the "the number you have called is not available at this time" response, it sounds just normally, but the phone does nothing.

  However, connecting to a PC is the PC not recognizing anything plugged and that the phone itself does not seem to charge.

  When he "wakes" it is as if I just plugged it and shows me the lock screen and everything is normal.

  Thanks in advance for your time

  By reading your post I was stuck on hardware failure, perhaps the LCD screen or logic board and then you wrote this. Please you elaberate on what you mean by "it is as if I just hooked it up". Actually connect? Does it make the chimes as you he plugged in even if you don't have?
