  • Strange black screen problem Inspiron 1526

    Dell Inspiron 1526 - Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) - Service Pack 2 (problem started all with SP1) - AMD Turion (TM) 64 X 2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz - ATI Radeon X 1200 Series

    This is probably the strangest problem that I've never seen or heard of.  I've owned this phone for about a year and a half without any problem, then one day, I decided to put my computer into sleep mode by closing the lid (I've done several times before without problem.).  When I lifted the lid, the computer woke up, but the screen refused to show.  Thinking it was an easily solvable problem, I restarted the computer.  The computer turned on, but the screen was black.  After having turned the computer works enough times (probably 20), finally displayed screen and the error message say 'RTC Mode Fixed.  Date and time can be wrong. "I couldn't help but think"What the... ". "I ran into my share of issues of computer before, but nothing as weird as this.

    Assuming that everything was fine, I let the computer start normally and shortly after the BIOS, the computer screen suddenly turns off.  The only way I could get the boot sequence to pass the BIOS screen and start normally, I had to remove all the devices (including the power cord.)  After the computer has finally loaded completely, I was able to function normally.  Almost every time that I cut it however, the black screen problem happen again.

    A solution will be greatly appreciated.

    If you still experience the problem, or if you arrived after doing a search for the same problem with your Inspiron1526 (or other). The solution is to replace the CMOS battery. There was some problems with the connector of the screen becomes loose, but if reinstalling the display connector does not solve your problem, then the battery is dead.  The Mitsubishi CR2032 batteries from CHINA are down less than 1.5 volts in only 1-2 years. Looking at the battery that looks like they're a cheap copy of bootleg and probably not at all Mitsubishi. They all have the "Made In CHINA" stamp on the bottom edge. Unfortunately to get to the CMOS battery, you will need to disassemble the laptop computer entire almost to have access, but by replacing the bad battery with a reputable CR2032 3 v battery will solve the problem. After the first reboot, you need to give time for the BIOS to reconfigure and you need to reset the time system and date but the laptop will resume its normal operation after that.

    Unfortunately many calls to Dell technical service gave no help to this problem either. Technicians have even claimed to have no knowledge of what the CAPS and the blinking NUM LOCK lights meant. If you are lucky, you may be able to restart a couple times before the laptop doesn't start is not at all, but the time system must be reset - if this happened to you, it's a dead giveaway that the CMOS battery is about to fail. Once you hear the voltage of the battery drops to initial power engage readers and the fan will run for a few moments and then the unit will completely disable. Nothing appears on the screen.

  • HELP, (start black screen, floppy drive 0 error of research)

    at the start, it's a black screen saying "diskette drive 0 seek failure", with the option to press F1 to continue.  I don't have a floppy drive on my pc and have no idea how that happen suddenly.

    I did and went everywhere for a solution without success.  I know it's an easy fix, but for the life of me, I don't know how.  As it is, I need to be on the pc press F1, whenever I get updates, etc.

    Please help me find the correct solution and I will be eternally grateful.  Thank you in advance.

    Your computer has a floppy inside drive?  If so, the drive has failed and should be replaced.  If not, or if you aren't sure what a floppy drive is :-) then you must go in your computer's BIOS Setup and disable the floppy drive option.  How do you and when you do this varies check so a computer at another manual support site or your computer for details online.

  • Iintermittent Black Screen on Inspiron 8600

    I have a laptop Inspiron 8600, Windows XP.

    For two weeks, I turned the computer to see a flash of a normal screen and then a black screen.  I can always connect (with the black screen) because behind the dark is always a low view of my office and the login screen.  If I force the computer to the Hibernate and turn back on, eventually the light comes on and stays on. (This may take from 2 to 20 tests!)  However, he can tease me in the process.  A normal screen could appear briefly from 1 to 10 seconds and still go out.  However, when the normal screen finally lights up and remains, it will remain on until I have shut down the computer.

    In fact, today, I closed the screen without shutting down the computer and 20 minutes later I opened it - it was dark again.  (but now I have the normal screen once again, so I send you this message).

    Also, I think that I can get to the screen to see if I have the cord attached, but then I can run the computer on battery afterwards.

    This has happened for two weeks.

    I have read a number of threads on the same topic, but I think mine might be a little unique.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.


  • (Redirected) Black screen Dell Inspiron 7537.

    I bought my Dell Inspiron 7537 last year only to use it for 7 months before the part of my screen went completely black. There are like 3 or 4 black lines which became bigger and bigger by the day. It was still in warranty, so I took my laptop to my dealer. Its been almost 5 months, my dealer told me that Dell refused to send a replacement screen first. When Dell decided to send a screen it was the wrong. Reference Dell claims now that they don't have the type of screen that needs my model and I have to wait, like 5 months is not enough. I tried to contact Dell without a bit of luck. I hope that get answers here or something. Sorry for my English is not my mother tongue.

    BTW someone with the same problem with their reference dell inspiron? My dealer told me that they had the same problem with the same model and once again, DELL would not send them a replacement screen.

    I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. I left plugged in all night and still no change. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the unit to aMacBookPro. When I do this, iTunes complains that it can not connect because the iPad 'expires '. Now it is disconnected, but I can't turn it off. Even close the lid will not extinguish it. Any ideas?

    Try the following. It seems yo may have to let the battery drain is completely:

    - iOS: do not respond or does not light

    -Also try DFU mode recovery mode post-test

    How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."

    -If failed and that you cannot completely turn completely the iOS device, leave the battery to drain completely. After loading a hour repeat the foregoing.

    -Try a different cable

    -Try on another computer

    S ' there is still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at an Apple store Genius Bar is in order.

    Hello

    No problem

    If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.  If you are not sure of the version, the product page for your laptop shows it was delivered with the 64-bit version, so try first.

    Windows 7 32 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, insert the rescue CD in Notepad and restart at the start of it.  Select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Bootrec.exe

    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    c:

    Boot CD

    BCD attrib s h - r

  • Help with Windows Vista black screen

    I have a Windows Vista SP1 64 bit with 8 GB of RAM and 2 3850's Radeon ATi CrossFireX. in any case, I have a program called mechanical system, you've all probably heard before, this is an excellent program to clean your hard disk and defragment your memory. However, I ran last night and said the program automatically restarts the computer when it ended, after that he finished and I rebooted was greeted with the atrocious Black Screen of Death with a cursor, if it is not blinking and I can move it freely, but there is nothing I can do with it given the background task bar is non-existent and the entire screen is black.

    I tried some of the solutions, I can not even the CTRL + ALT + DELETE to get into task manager and manually start explorer.exe; Help me please. The only type of response I can get from the system is to obtain the keys to stick to pop up when I hit the SHIFT key five times. I am very confused. I don't have external hard drives hooked up to it and there is no thumb-drive connected via USB either. I'm completely puzzled here. Please help me.

    Hello

    System Mechanic, by Iolo is one of the best of this type of program, he's trying to at least
    be legitimate, however it is still a Registry Cleaner and system optimizer that leaves a
    much to be desired in terms of compatibility. These programs are more likely to ask questions
    While fixing anything. Most are like snake oil. So my advice would be to uninstall. If you insist
    use make sure you have done a current Restore Point before using it and keep current backups
    on the primary drive.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
    are a few others.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
    Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
    Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

    Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
    Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
    on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
    ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
    repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
    Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.
