OptiPlex 780 Black Screen

I have a slimline Optiplex 780. The video cable is an exclusive Dell DVI splitter. I tried both ports 1 and 2. When the system boots, the screen remains black, until Windows starts. After Windows starts the video system works very well. The problem is, I can't get in the config or the start menu because I don't see anything during POST.

New video card fixed. Strange to have problem, but at least it works now.

  • Dell Optiplex 3020 - the black screen after dell logo (happened after windows updates froze at halfway and systems were restarted)

    We had windows updates run on all our systems of windows 7 in our medical center.  13 or so of our 3020 s Optiplex froze for eight hours about in a State of "install updates 1 of 24".  I have all them turned off and restarted units.  Once units have been restarted, they gave the Security windows startup or start-up option normally.  Those who had selected the option to 'start normally' would display the logo dell at startup, then click on a completely black screen (all devices still in market and monitors recording an active signal even if no picture).   Those started in safe mode w/o networking, loaded in safe mode.  I rebooted the machine in safe mode, and they all started out in windows without problem.

    For systems that go completely black after the dell logo.  I am able to F2 in the BIOS, I can run diagnostics from BIOS and I can't F12 in boot options, but I cannot F8 or SHIFT + F8 mode without failure or fact start in safe mode, please come under early start options.

    Anyone happen to know a way to launch a system of 3020 optiplex in safe mode without the use of F8, SHIFT + F8, go through msconfig or remote access to the registry (because I can not remote in the system on the network)?

    Maybe I can put the hard drive in a dock and change the registry in this way?  But can I change the potentiometer to force secure boot? or is it not possible to make a bcdedit to it as an external drive, install it in his camera and force it to safe boot the next time, he is running?

    Any ideas or suggestions would be very appreciated.

  • OptiPlex 780 minitower won't Boot/POST 1.2 Diagnostic lights

    I started to experience problems of power with my Optiplex 780 a few weeks after adding a second HDD.  The diagnostic LEDs are inconsistent at best, but generally the 1 and 2 light.  There, none of the expansion cards installed in the office.  I replaced the following with units well known to help solve the issue, the PSU (of work Dimension 8400) and battery CMOS (of Dimension 8400).  I also tried to exchange the memory modules.

    Occasionally (rarely), it will start actually and I am led to a splash screen with boot options and the option of diagnostic test.  I tried to run diagnostics to determine the issue, but every time that the computer shuts off 10 seconds in the diagnostic test.  I only learned at this point maybe 3 times total. I'm usually pretty good to sort these things, but I'm completely lost at this point.  Any suggestions would be welcome and appreciated.

  • 2nd disk on Dell OptiPlex 780 Mini-Tower

    I want to install a 2nd SATA Seagate 148 gb SATA HDD on my OptiPlex 780 minitower. The drive is physically mounted in the machine and the power cable that extends from the disk HARD existing fits perfectly in place. I had to go buy a 18 "SATA 7 pin data Cable available from the drive to the motherboard.

    Looks like there are two SATA containers-by-side in the middle section of the motherboard. A feed beige plastic and the other in black.

    Does make a difference that the one that I use?

    Is there another container, should I use instead of these?  Locate where?

    After hanging hardware, what I need to do to get the machine to recognize the new HARD drive when booting?

    Thank you

    The colors are to let you know which port is 0 then 1 then 2, then 3, etc. White port is #3 the orange cable goes from the optical drive sata 1 connector blue is the boot disk which is SATA 0. After connecting the power supply and data, you go into BIOS Setup and turn on SATA2.

  • Black screen problem.

  • iPhone 7 more stuck on black screen with the spinning wheel

    How can I fix it? I tried to reset, go into DFU mode, recover from iTunes. Nothing works. I can't use iTunes because he wants me to grant access from my iPhone is not responding. DFU mode doesn't work, the screen does not any combination of seconds I hold down the buttons to. This has happened more than an hour. Should I just wait for the battery to die? Please note that I do not live in the United States or the U.K. or anywhere with an Apple Store, I can take it to.

    Thank you

    Hello! I think that I may have a solution to our problem of the black screen with the circle of rotation.

    I came across this post today because my iPhone all nine 7 (which I've upgraded to the latest ios) also got stuck on a black screen with the circle of rotation. I tried to update some of my apps, when suddenly the screen froze. I clicked once on the home button and the screen become black with the subsequent appearance of the circle of rotation.

    I have tried everything - simultaneously press the home button and power (does not work). connected to itunes to do a restore (it won't let me not because my "find my iPhone" was turned on - but I could not turn off because my phone was insensitive).

    In any case, a very useful Mr. Damon (Senior Advisor to Apple) helped me via chat to solve the problem.

    Here's what I did:

    1. make sure that your iPhone is disconnected from the socket or the computer.

    2. hold the POWER button and the VOLUME DOWN button at the same TIME. If it works, the screen should turn off almost immediately.

    3. connect your iPhone to the computer. (when I have connected to the computer, my iPhone automatically on and was ready to be reused).

    The steps below are for those whose iPhones did not turn with the above steps. The following steps are designed to allow you to disable remote your 'find my iPhone', so you can do a manual restore from iTunes.

    4. go to www.icloud.com.

    5. click on Find iPhone

    6. given that the phone is turned off already, he won't be able to find it. On the top bar, click DEVICES.

    7. click on your iPhone.

    8. click on "delete account".

    9. go into your itunes and do a restore.

    I did have to do steps 4 to 9 more, because as I said, my iPhone automatically activated after step 3.

    This really worked for me. I hope this works for everyone else too! Have a great day!

  • iOS 10 wheel black screen

    Been using iOS 10.0.1 for about a week on an iPhone 6 and it is buggy. The questions below are only occurred since the upgrade to iOS 10. Please fix in the next version or offer a solution.

    1 random black screen with the spinning wheel. The upgrade went very well, so not this black screen. But at least every day my phone stopped responding and displays a black screen with the spinning wheel. After 5 to 10 seconds, I invited me to enter my password as if the phone has rebooted. I'm not the only person knows - and even managed to capture the image below.

    2 - I activated the option 'open finger rest' in respect of the accessibility of the home screen, but this does not always work. Once again, about once a day, to rest my finger to open the results in me being invited to press the home button to unlock. Whenever this happened I checked and confirmed that 'rest finger to open' has been enabled.

    Thank you

    I have the same problem.  3 co-workers have the same problem.  I opened a discussion with the Apple support, however, they said it was just my phone and that I should backup my phone and do a factory restore.  This is pretty extreme, especially considering that 100% of my immediate peers with iPhone devices 6 face the same frustration.

  • MacBook (2010) starts with black screen with flashing Apple logo

    I recently got ahold of a Macbook Pro 2010 running very slow so I did a reinstall of the operating system (which was a living nightmare, Macintosh is not as easy to manage as it was at the time of PowerPC) once I got to the top and running, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of El Capitan (an update (not an upgrade I already had a version out there) once I rebooted and let the computer do its thing he began to start up normally, but after finishing the progress bar, he went to a black screen (with the screen still on) that flashed the boot from time to time Apple logo. I forced shut down the computer and start in safe mode with success (that's how I'm typing this post now).

    Thanks in advance.

    When you reinstalled, did you remove any third-party system before reinstalling.

    A Mac that runs in Mode without failure, but are generally not normally indicates some incompatible system changes.

    Software common problems are things that are intended to clean, protect, optimize, accelerate, or otherwise maintain your Mac.

  • Black screen for 10 seconds and then lock screen after ios 10

    I am facing a problem where my iphone 6 randomly shows a black screen with a loading circle in the Center for about 10 seconds and then wakes up to the password lock screen.

    Called in support and they mentioned to install ios 10 via itunes instead and a new device settings and do not restore the backup to diagnose the problem.

    Is anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions that might be faster than the one mentioned by the Apple Support

  • I need help on my macbook pro i5 13inch mid 2012 model when I open all black screen

    I stopped just my macbook pro, when I open all the black screen but it has power... can I bring it to apple store to fix. How will they charge?

    The cost will be dependent on what may be wrong.  It could be the GPU or the screen is who is several hundred dollars.  It could be the connection of the screen, which will be very little costly to repair or even for free if only the connection is loose.

    Foe a final quote, bring the product to an Apple store genius bar.

    Ciao.

    "Protective shield"?

    Its existence on your iPhone is maybe a problem.  You can try to use the iPhone without this "shield" because it can hinder the iPhone proximity sensors.
