HP Envy 17 built-in screen went black after system updates.

Hello!

Earlier today, after updates monthly to Win 7 Home Prem (64 bit, Engl.)  I had the problem with the display of colors with my HP Envy 17. It turns out that caused Windows Silverlight (?) to indicate only a few 256 colors (?). So I plugged another screen (Samsung 22 inch SyncMaster) as external monitor to the computer.  This worked OK. So, I removed the updates of windows outside one by one, starting system after each file. After the removal of Silverlight, the built-in screen returned to original resolution and colors (1910 * 1080, 60 Hz, 32-bit). Then I reinstalled all the other updates and started the system. So far, I was happy. The original problem has been resolved.

Then, I checked the status of HP Support Assistant. He suggested the update of the program itself and some 5 other updates. I've updated the HP Support Assistant first.  That went well, I guess. After the system start, I checked the other updates the new version of HP Support Assistant suggested. This includes for example. update the BIOS and 4 other updates. After download and installation of these, system startup has produced, triggered by the update. OK to start the system, and Windows started a little. But then the screen integrated (HP laptop) do not continue to see the picture more, external only display gave the image. I used the double at this stage display mode. -Only when you start Windows in safe mode, the screen seems to work, but with a limited resolution and properties.

I tried to change display modes (dual Extended display, disconnect, projector only), but the screen does not appear. Or, if we turn off the lights (black room), one can imagine to be able to see a light screen Veery also (built-in display) - so some photos also forms in this case (the built-in screen of HP Envy 17). Remove the external display and the system startup without it does not help.

Please help me and teach how to bring back the computer screen in life!

Hello.

Just letting you know that the screen of my HP Envy 17 2050ea now works fine! What helped was a call to the local HP support; Today, I managed to pass through. He suggested to delete the display driver that I did in Safe Mode, as the built-in screen still worked. I've done the following:

* I started the system using Windows Mode safe mode with networking (press F8 to get there after startup)

* The I went to the Device Manager (you can use the start search to find)

* There, I chose the graphics cards. With the right button of your mouse, I have selected to uninstall the display Radeon (TM) driver. In my case it was Radeon (TM) HD 6850 M.

* After the driver has been uninstalled, I started the system. System booted normally (complete Windows).

* Now the display settings were a little strange, but the screen has worked

* After a minute or two, automatic update of the display driver has occurred. System infomed me to this topic. Then I rebooted, to allow the driver to use.

* After reboot my screen was back to normal, as it was before the problem.

Summary: The problem has been resolved through resettlement of the display driver. Fortunately, heavy recovery or reinstallation of the entire system was not necessary.

WKR, Alfa68

  • BlackBerry Z30 don't switch call to the speaker using the navigation. Screen went black accept after phone call.

    I have this problem no need of me.

    While driving and use any software of navigation, such as:

    1. built in maps

    2 Waze

    3 NavFree

    If someone calls me, I can take the call. But immediately, the screen went black.

    I can't switch the call to the speakerphone. After random seconds, to switch screen might look for a second glance, and then the entire screen turned black.

    Although it is black screen, I can't do anything, including trying to drag up to close current app/call.

    Maybe it's something to do with the Navigation periodly software disables screen timeout?

    Hello, Yes,.

    Is this the same problem as described here:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-Z30/Z30-keeping-the-dial-pad-quot-lit-quot-when-in...

    Discussion on how the screen turns black during a regular call, it is impossible, for example, to listen to a call and to have the keypad remains lit, so you can press the right numbers while dealing with an automated reception, was doing phone banking, or using any other system that relies on automated messages.

    The problem came down to how some people take their phone (especially when trying to listen to the guests and press the right button at the same time).  The solution has been to hold the phone differently.  So my question would be whether the phone is blacking out because of the very special combination of things happening in your scenario, or is it blacking out because you're online and proximity sensor of the phone thinks you're holding it to your ear (and think that when you do this, you want to have blackened keypad).

  • iPhone screen went black

    my iphone 5 s screen went black and the phone is still on and rings when people call me, what could be the problem and how can we solve this problem?

    It may be a hardware problem. If it is a software problem, then a hard reset will solve it. Press and hold the power button (also known as the Sleep / Wake button) and the Home button for at least 10 seconds. If the Apple logo appears on the screen, it's a software crash.

    My screen became suddenly black on a website. I turned the iPad back and got a screen that said I had to turn my iPad followed a request to enter my Apple ID and password. I don't know why the screen went black suddenly, or if it's Apple who request my username and password. Why should I activate my iPad again. This is for real or a scam? I don't want to do as requested without assurance that it is authentic. Help!

    Hmm...

  • I was running Mozilla firefox on my computer until two weeks ago. At that time, the screen went black and now I am not able to use it.

    I was running Mozilla firefox on my computer until two weeks ago. At that time, the screen went black and now I am not able to use it.  When I click on the icon and open to the top it says cannot load xp.com and a flag of resolution comes up saying it can't run a resolution less than 1930 x 2300. I have no idea what this means and how I can solve this problem.  I thought that maybe the application was bad, so I deleted and then added it back on and it does the same thing.  I even did a restore of the system to try hard but nothing I did the work.  So, how can I solve this problem.  I'm not a computer genius, so he must be explained in simple easy to understand instructions.

    Hello

    I suggest that you view in Mozilla Firefox community because there seems to be a Firefox problem.

  • HP Photosmart 7515: Touch screen went black

    Printer works very well at the outbreak of the computer,

    but the touch screen went black, permanently.

    No matter how much I press, it stays black.

    I disconnected and reconnected.

    Downloaded a new driver that allows me to trigger the scan of the computer,

    but I can't fax.

    Is this a driver problem, a hardware problem...?  Don't know which firmware is.

    Hi @lenny15,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! I understand the touch screen on your HP Photosmart 7515 is completely black, you are able to print from the computer, but can not access the front control panel.

    I would like that perform you a Hard Reset on the PS 7515:

    1. disconnect all cables and cards of memory in the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.

    2. unplug the other end of the power cord.

    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.

    4. at the end of 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup because they can cause the printer to lose over time basic functionality).

    5. connect the power cord to the back of the printer.

    6. the printer should automatically power back upward. If not, turn it on with the power button.

    7. try to make a photocopy (if your printer is a printer all in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.

    8. connect the other cables needed to the printer.

    If after the hard reset, you are still not able to access the Control Panel, I suggest that call you our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number. http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-phone-assist.html
