IdeaPad S500 Touch - screen goes black after driver update

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S500 Touch. It is running the latest update of Windows 8.1. He proposed an update of the video driver from Lenovo. After downloading and installing the update, the screen went black. When the computer reboots, the Lenovo logo appears on the screen, and it goes black again. No matter what I try, that's all.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thank you

James

    Hello

    I have a laptop of s3000 - x 4 satellite.

    swiched top upward start then the screen goes black, I can just do the display to see loading, windows
    This happens even if I can get it to boot in safe mode, or when I enter setup.
    If I'm lucky, I have a minute of commissioning until the display changes. and as soon as I restart, I'm square.

    can anyone help? If it is a component, it is easy to find and replace?
    see you soon

    Colin

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect the external display?
    If this is not the case, try it. Also check out the switching between display devices with the FN + F5 key combination
    If this does not help, I would pick up the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied. Also try to improve the shape of the Tosh site graphics driver.

    But if it won't work and you can't see anything on the screen so I guess there must be something wrong with the hardware. In this case only the ASP in your country is able to help you.

    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.

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.

  • Portege R100: The screen goes black after installing SP2

    Hello
    Currently, I tried to install SP2 for my laptop (Windows XP pro) R100. The end of the installation procedure I restarted the system, as requested. The windows logo appeared, then the screen went black and the only thing I could see was the mouse cursor.

    After several reboots, the situation did not do better. I tried to go on safe mode, but I had the same (only this time the black backround was typical registration of safe mode on the sides). I will perform a system restore without having to install SP2, but the fact that I am on a DSL connection most of the time very important SP2 installation.

    I would appreciate any solution to this problem.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    As far as I know sometimes a few utilities and drivers must be updated after installation of the service pack 2 Microsoft.
    On the Toshiba driver page I found a backgrounder update of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 that contains a few s information about the utilities that must be updated.

    However, additional I found a lot of new drivers for R100.
    I think you should also try to update the old drivers as driver utility and the graphics card chipset.
    Eventually, it helps.

  • Screen goes black after plugin and come on

    When I plug / unplug my PC, there is a blank black screen 2 seconds, after which windows pops up again. Frequency 60 Hz of refresh. Help, please. It is very irritating.

    Hi Patrick,
     
    I understand that it's frustrating when things don't work as expected. The issue you described could occur if the display driver is not updated.
     
    To better understand the question I would say that you check power for both management, i.e. when the computer is plugged in and when the computer is unplugged. Keep the settings for both the energy saving mode, then check the issue. See the steps below:
    1. press Windows + X and click on Power Options.
    2. now set power saving for both settings when the computer is plugged in and when the computer is unplugged.
    3. now check the issue and let us know the result.

    Please answer the following questions so that we can better help you:

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. what exactly do you mean when you say "connect / disconnect"?

     
    Try the steps mentioned below and check if it helps solve the problem.
     
    Method 1
    Install all the updates of Windows including the optional updates and check the issue.
    Updates: frequently asked questions
     
    Method 2
    Updated the display of the device manager driver and check if this solves the problem. See the steps below:
    1. press Windows + X, click on Device Manager.
    2. check if you can see the error for the display driver.
    3 If you any error then right click on the display driver and then update the driver.
    4. check the question;
     
    Method 3
    Install the latest driver from the website of the manufacturer of the computer display and check if that helps. You can also install the latest version of BIOS and drivers from the chipset from here.
     
    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved.
    Changes to settings are at your own risk.
     
    I hope this helps. If not, please write to us with the results, we will be happy to help you further.
  • HP HDX 16 t Premium - screen goes black after a few seconds

    Just today my screen started going black out of no where (when I played StarCraft 2, a high-performance PC game.) Now, he's doing regularly (after a few seconds to about one minute.) It's almost as if my computer goes into mode 'sleep' but I can't wake up. This happens less often when I put the brightness of my screen on a lower setting, and tends to fade before going to black instead of going just instantly black. I also have an external monitor attached, and when my laptop monitor goes black the external display remains lit and fully operational.

    Some things to note:

    -The power cord is attached and plugged in, and turned on my computer.

    -J' have a cooling block and my computer is not overheating.

    -The battery has full juice.

    -J' tried to restart my computer several times and still have the same problem.

    -C' is the case even when I'm not running high performance games or programs.

    -My settings to be able to tell my computer never sleep, decrease intensity after 10 minutes (5 minutes for the battery) and the screen turns off after 20 minutes (15 minutes on the battery.)

    -When the laptop screen is on the brightest display settings, it seems to be flickering.

    I did some research and it seems to be a problem with the LCD capacitors going bad. If anyone can check this? If this is the case, is there a way I can replace and where would I do my shopping?

    Thanks in advance

  • Equium P300-16 t - screen goes black after 5 minutes

    I'm a total novice when it comes of laptops so not even sure if I use it properly, but if his left not used sometimes for even 5mns, the screen becomes black and cannot not be woken up with pressing keys or the mouse.

    The other lights are all on but when I try to unpress the NumLock light is frozen. The only way to fix is to turn off and on again. I'm on windows vista.

    Any help at all would be appreciated.

    Hey mate,

    You can see the same problem on an external monitor or this only happens on an intern? In addition, it would be interesting to know what display driver that you have installed and if you use the preinstalled operating system.
    Also, update the display driver could also be helpful in this case.

    It is really hard to tell what is causing this problem and in the worst case, it s a hardware problem and something should be replaced. :(
