Hello

If you do not get a splash screen., Dell, HP etc. Logo to turn on and the screen is completely black, you may have a hardware problem

If the above is the case and if you are under warranty, contact the manufacturer of the computer

If it is under warranty, contact a local reputable computer repair workshop

  • A60: dvd shows black screen through digital projector

    Hello.

    Our school has purchased a large number of laptops A60, that teachers plan to use in conjunction with our digital projectors Sanyo. However it was discovered that, while the office and DVD controls, display etc. on the whiteboard with success, the real DVD appears simply as a black screen. We have updated graphics drivers, you press fn & f5, etc, but can't find any way to get the images to show through the projector. We have no problem with other laptops to school.

    Help much appreciated on an urgent basis.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand right you want to start the movie on DVD and watch it using the projector. Am I wrong?

    I guess you use preinstalled DVD player, called WinDVD. If Yes please try starting your laptop, change the external device (projector) using the FN + F5 key combination. If this happens successfully, then you should try to start the WinDVD player. If you want to change the display using FN keys, while the DVD player works it is possible that there is not any screen success only in black.

    Good bye

    Hello

    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

    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
    field efforts.

I read a few threads on the forums and have tried to take the battery out and pressing the button for 30secs-2mins (tried twice). I can access everything ok in Mode safe, so made a malware bites scan & clean registry. No maleware was found and I rebooted, but always the same black screen when you connect in normal mode. I tried to access the Advanced tab in the BIOS to make the test hardware, but I do not have this tab. I'm out of ideas. Help, please

    B_S2

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    As it works OK in safe mode, then it's SOMETHING that is loaded at startup which is screw up the display.  Could be a runtime program. could be drivers, might be a Service.

    No easy way to tell.

    Demarrer start in safe mode, type MSCONFIG in the start area.  When that opens, turn off ALL startup items. Reset.

    The PC now work, if one (or more) of these numbers - and you have to go through a tedious process of re-enabling them one at a time until the PC fails again.  The last of them that you re-activated was the problem.

    Here is a tutorial on how to do it: http://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows/

    If the PC still does not work with all startup items disabled, then return to msconfig and click on the Services tab.  Check the hide services Ms.  Then turn off half superior Services.  Reset.

    If the problem is resolved, you will need to go through a tedious process of reactivating a Service at a time until you find the one that is the problem.

    If the problem is not resolved, turn off the other half of the services.  Repeat as above.

    No easy way to do...

    Good luck

    I've updated the BIOS also using an external monitor. But still the same. I'm completely at a loss. Please someone help me to slove this problem...

    It is due to the inverter of the screen which has stopped working, it controls the backlight of the LCD/LED screen part when it breaks it causes the backlight to turn off and wont go on then you would need to have ups re-place with a new one.

    Here's an example of how it looks like:

    Sometimes my laptop sometimes start showing 4 screens and sometimes when rebooted several times. Starts to work normally. Seems to me more a problem of drivers, or else why would begin normally if it is a hardware problem. Also, when the laptop was running, I continued shaking the laptop just to check if it was a hardware problem as a cable of the lcd screen may be loose that mounted in the motherboard, but it wasn't the case.

    Best regards

    As often occurs when the wrong VGA driver is installed.  This occurs when the view Agent is installed on the desktop, and then the VMware Tools is updated after the fact.  The result is the driver included with the Agent to view VGA is replaced with the VGA driver in VMware Tools.  You can see some advantages to the relocation of the Agent of the view, or update the VMware Tools and then install the Agent from the view.

    My 2008 late model Dell Vostro 220 s desktop with power on and go while the start and shows windows starting but when it will go on the desktop, it will just show a black screen. Any help would be nice!

    Thank you

    You can try to start your 220 s in VGA mode (video low resolution).

    To start your computer in low video mode resolution, follow these steps:
    1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.
    2. hold the F8 key as your computer restarts.
    3. in the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Activate video low resolution (640 × 480)and press enter.

    If the problem is not reappear low resolution mode, then the question is probably associated driver. You may be able to resolve this problem by updating the video driver with the latest version of Dell or Intel.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • VM shows black screen after power on

    My server is a 2003 SP 2, 1 hard drive with 2 partitions C (40 GB actual) and E (500GBactual). I have recently re proposed that a box in a vSphere 5.5 with a 1 TB of space. I used the converter 5.0.1 on the physical area.

    My initial P2V took more than 4 days! I tried the hotfix increases performance of cloning , but there is no change, to make a long story short I started it this weekend. Came Monday and he was done. I turned on the virtual machine and it works correctly, but I got a black screen, no cursor, nothing.

    The only thing that came out then Setup the initial P2V was I tried to activate the 'sync' function, but could not, sysprep files were missing. I don't know if it's related or not? I thought down ranking to 5.1 and start again but I figure I have ask first.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Just to update... I converted one of the partitions (program files) and tried to restart the virtual machine. I got the same result. I read somewhere that change the logical SCSI's Bus type at LSI logic could be the problem. I changed the setting and tried again - same result. Then I went back to the logic of Bus and he fed up, and it worked! Don't ask how or why to buy the virtual machine correctly.

    Don't know if anyone has had this happen? Thanks again for all the help!
