• Satellite p205-s8811 won't start normally or in safe mode just automatically get a black screen

  I started my computer and start the recovery window came. I ran it and it has to solve the problem and computer ran very well. I stopped him and 6 hours more later powered on and the same thing. Startup recovery ran and solved the problem again.  When I looked in the log recovery startup errors he says that there are changes not specified for the configuration of the system. So I decied to do a system restore. The system restore ran, off, rebooted computer and when to start the toshiba system came on the screen. Then went black and never started window. For hard drive light was illuminated as normal, then slowed down, would be possible, and eventually it would flicker just a little more. The screen is black, but you can see the cursor. I pressed the switch to turn on, turn off, wait a little bit. Then turned on and got the screen to start normally, safe mode, safemode promt, European round table. I chose safe mode and it and all the config system starts to roll across the screen, then screen turned black and nothing else happened. So I tried again and chose to start windows normally, but the same thing. Toshiba comes through screen\, hard disk, running, but nothing but a black screen. I don't know if I app\drivers and recovery discs and don't know if it's even the fix. I could really use some help with this. I "ve been out of work for six months due to motorcycle wreck and do not have the funds for the nine. Plese I want to know if it's fixable. Thank you

• Just get black screen on Acer Aspire 7520

  I'm looking for a solution for this problem for almost 3 months now. My Aspire 7520 when tuned to just gives me a black screen. I took out the battery and held the power button down / stop and always the same. I also made sure that the fan has been free of dust and is runnig and I hear that it is trying to load, and now when I turn it off it is itself so I have to remove the battery all together.

  If you get either of the image on an external monitor, it could very well be a video card problem or a problem with the motherboard.  You should contact your local service centre Acer for assistance.

• HP Touchsmart 310 1100 HP Screen-No Black logo or whatever it is-just a black screen

  Hi-

  I have a HP Touchsmart 310 1100 which when I turn there is only a black screen and I can hear the fans running. No HP logo or guest to enter the bios, just a completely black screen.

  I tried:

  (1) HP suggested resetting the default bios (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02217843) settings by pressing f10, f5 etc.

  (2) remove the hard drive, reinstalling memory, unplug all usb accessories

  (3) used another power supply from an another 310 HP

  (4) change the jumper on the motherboard from 1-2 to 7-8 and back to 1-2 to clear the cmos memory

  I'm about to remove the cooling fan and the unit and re-insert the processor, but I wonder if there is something to try before that.

  I'm starting to think it's a bad mother, gpu, or display the power inverter.

  It is out of warranty, so if anyone has any advice I would be happy.

  This seems to be a problem that has been listed in a dozen other posts without real solution given.

  I solved my problem with my 310 - it was the CPU. Replaced with the same model cpu AMD bought on Amazon.

  Works fine now.

  There is no video card to replace on my model 310. There is a video chip that is soldered to the motherboard.

• Update the BIOS via broken WinPlash SATEGO P100-10U. Now just black screen.

  Hello

  I did an upgrade of the Bios via WinPlash as I installed the XBox Live. Upgrading the Bios did not work (stupid me) and therefore, I'll have just a black screen after that I have turn on the monitor. The machine emits no beep, nor does it show anything else.
  I have subsequently:
  Downloaded the WinPlash on another PC. As it says in the doc (unziped in a folder), but the file '... ". for bootable CD"is not generated (nothing else that the files have been copied).
  Subsequently I have burned (all files = part of Vista 32 Bit) with NERO on a bootable CD, but it does not start the program (CD starts spinning, LED in CD / DVD flashes yellow then it stops).
  Then, I only copied their executables on a USB key, tired to load it from there - ZERO nothing but the sound of the screens black and fan.

  Tried to access the Bios with combinations of power sur-bouton ' "+ ESC, F1, F2, F10, F12, Del, ALT (as the left of the SPACE key), CTRL.

  Could someone tell me if there is a start-up tool or a BIOS image tha starts, or a special touch?

  Concerning

  Hello

  so, you have little chance really bad because this issue needs to be repaired by a qualified technician. I had a similar problem and have searched for a few weeks for a resolution quick and good cheap but I couldn t find anywhere these tools mentioned you´ve.

  Your only chance to bring the machine back to life is to contact a [ASP (certified partner) | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT]
  and allow them to correct this problem. I asked a lot of people here, but no one from toshiba is here to give some nice tools... :(

  Hope that your machine will come back to life.

  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.

• I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the camera to MacBookPro. Any ideas?

  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.

• Satellite P200D - black screen and does not just by running

  Hello everyone, I have a Toshiba Satellite P200D - 107 PSPBLE with configuration set-aside:

  Processor: Turion x 2 TL - 52 64-bit clocked at 1.6 Ghz
  Display: 17.3 inch
  Graphics card: Ati radeon x 1200
  RAM: 2 x 512 MB ram (1 GB total) which I upgraded to 1 x 2000 MB and 1 x 512 MB (for a total of 2.5 GB)
  OS: FACTORY CD WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32-BIT
  Power: Running on the direct power without the battery cable

  Although the pc is quite old sound fundamentally new barely there 1 year of normal use on it.

  PROBLEM:

  The screen goes black (no), even if the screen still has the backlight running, the laptop is still under tension, but its basically in a kind of deep hibernation with the fan running yet.
  The laptop screen turns off 5-10 minutes after windows loads, even if in idle, it also stops during installation of the operating system.
  I tried to run the music and the music stops when the screen goes black made all the hard disk activity which I believe indicates that it is not related to the video chip.

  TRIED SO FAR:

  1. open up the computer laptop and cleaned all dust processor, now CPU temp is 50 max, even for hard disk
  2. update the bios to the original to 1.70 - did not help
  3 connected external monitor also stops it the same time as the laptop screen indicating it is not not a screen issue
  4 reinstall OS several times
  5 tested memory with memtest64 - no error
  6. test the hard drive with hddregenerator - no error

  What I've noticed:

  If I leave just a 512 MB of ram in the laptop then the laptop stops not at all even in windows applications, tried to launch a game to remove video card and it works without problem for hours, but as soon as I add the stick of 2 GB or another origianal 512 stick it will go inside the black screen 5-10 min (or earlier) to get into windows.

  He never stops in dos mode (as in memtest, hddregen) even with 2.5 GB of ram.

  After that the screen goes black, if I stopped and then try to save, it it won't work at all, the screen stays black with the fan spinning and boot CD, I must absolutely disconect the power cord power and re - set before it starts again.

  Anyone has any ideas, I am experienced with the pc, but have never stumbled upon something so weird that I have just can't explain this problem that came straight from heaven.

  Toshiba to wake up, this forum is a total joke, you would think that you would be able to afford hiring a bunch of technicians to actually help people rather than rely on the users of the forum to do your work for your, you don't need to have a forum, if you don't have the staff to actually help people solve their problems.

• Cannot load games 'Titanic', 'Travel' - no message just a flicker on the screen, then the game stops. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d.

  I have win7, Windows Home premium 64-bit on an HP Pavilion Elite I - 7 core intel and Gateway screen (fx2300). After the last update for windows and ATI, I had problems to read my games - some don't is not loading, some give me access violations, others do not go full-screen. Oh, now I can no longer adjust the resolution of my screen for anything other than the highest or lowest values acceptable (everthing in between is blocked).  I have supported the ATI update several times, but it takes to watch TV in hd. I worked with HP to install and reinstall the ATI update and update of the last window. Whenever errors are different on my games. Initially, they were access violations and some games would not work, I have the update and reinstall it and other games would get the access violation? Now I can't load games 'Titanic', 'Travel', 'Nancy Drew - lights camera curses'. -No message, just a flickering on the screen, then the game ends. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d. I have directx 11. All my games worked at the beginning of April. .  I have directx 11.

  First thing to do would be to check the compatibility of the individual games that you are trying to play the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

  Here is the link:

  https://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  Then, DO NOT ever update the drivers through Windows Update. Always install the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

  Is your Windows 7 install an upgrade of Windows Vista?

  Titanic, travel, etc. - are these games, bigfish, BTW?

  If so, contact them.

  I feel ultimately that your user account may have got corrupted somehow.

  Create a new user account and check if you can play the games there.

  If so, fix the damaged user account.

• I just got a black screen with "this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  Original title: OS not real question?

  Well, I bought a computer off Craig's list this week. Yes, I know this isn't the safest place to get a computer, but what's done is done. The current operating system of the computer is Win7. However I just got the black screen with "this copy of Windows is not genuine". I looked at the back of the computer and saw that he has a real sticker Win XP Pro. So is there anyway I can just download XP Pro on this computer and be good from there?

  Thank you

  Check with the manufacture of the computer to see if you have a "recovery partition" and how to use it to restore XP or if they still have the support of Windows XP available with they can send you to usually a small fee.

  My Gateway FX6831-03 will not be able to start Windows.  Just shows the gateway splash screen, then freezes.  OS is updated to current MS Win7-64 bit-w/all and virus/malware protection., Went over 4 days vacation, and when I tried to turn it on, it should display the gateway splash screen, then stop. can't hear anything that happens on the inside.

  Problem solved!  An external hard drive, powered by a separate power supply, was not turned on, but it was plugged into a USB port. When the computer "seen" this cross-town 'dead', he just stop - but no message appears problem.

  The good part?  Vaced out all the dust and replace the bios battery.  [I'm good for at least another 2 years;-]
