• Qosmio F50-125 starts with black screen after a BIOS update

  Hello

  After instalation if new bios (v 2.0), computer sometimes starts with black screen.
  Even the first page that show press F2 to enter the bios is not displayed.

  You have someone older version of bios?
  So, I might try if it's the fault of it.

  Hello

  I think that the old BIOS will not help you because the laptop would have known that you try to update the BIOS to the older version, and it would break to the top of the procedure.
  In addition, the older BIOS is not available on the European driver Toshiba page.
  I think just only a Toshiba ASP had an older version of BIOS.

  Anyway, you said that sometimes happens.
  This means that this issue doesn't still persist
  Hmm. in this case, I recommend the default BIOS settings and update the driver display.

• Windows 8 starts with black screen on startup.

  Original title: BOOT WIN 8 on TOSHIBA SATELLITE

  Hi - I've updated to Win 8 on my Toshiba Satellite laptop.  Now, when I start the laptop, it shows the initial screen of Windows but will not perform the process to the lock screen or splash screen.  The screen is black and goes no further.  I have to press the off button and hopefully get to go in standby mode (i.e. when the power led is flashing).  So, I press the button to wake that then displays the lock screen.

  Someone has ideas on what setting could be the cause.  I have looked in the trunk of the BIOS but can't find anything.  Also can't find anything obvious in settings PC Win

  Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

  1. You have installed the latest drivers for Windows 8?
  2. What is the model number for Toshiba Satellite laptop?

  If you get a black screen after upgrade to Windows 8, it might be due to an outdated or incompatible graphics card driver. Update to the latest version of the display driver should fix this.

  Try to remove all external devices connected to the computer and then try to start the computer and check if it works. Follow these methods and check if that helps:

   

  Method 1: To resolve this problem, update the site Web of Toshiba video card driver.

  Check out these Microsoft items for additional reference:

  Download and install the drivers

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/all-drivers

  Get the best display on your monitor

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/get-best-display-monitor

  Method 2: I suggest to follow the suggestions provided in this Microsoft KB article and check if this can help:

  Windows 8 starts with a blank screen after a standard or hibernation

• 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.

  You don t see anything on the screen? Puhh it looks serious hardware problem
  You can connect the laptop to external monitor to test it with 2nd monitor?
  What to do if possible
  If nothing is visible on 2nd screen, this means that your laptop s mother/graphics card chip seems to be affected

  However, it seems that the problem of hardware and in this case, the Toshiba service partner could solve this.

• Satellite Pro M40 sometimes starts with white screen

  Hello!

  I'm pulling out my hair with this problem.

  For no definable reason that according to me, my laptop will start with a blank screen.
  Not all the time, but, seemlingly, whenever it feels like I need extra help stress on my plate.
  For the most part, with perseverance (starting with or without battery, with or without the adapter, with or without pci with or without mouse usb network card and any combination of these elements), it ends by lights correctly, but sometimes Nothing that I won't get it to start and show me a screen.

  My M40 is 4 months old.
  Since it's purchase sent to Toshiba for repair twice for this problem, when I have exhausted myself trying to coax it into life. Whenever he was sent by saying either the problem has been fixed, or that he had no problem found/all systems ok / "it works very well for us, after testing all week."

  This week [edit: it was Wednesday], I sent it to me, and Yes, I checked the trunk upwards and gave a sigh of relief that there is an image on the screen.
  I wrote a letter to this topic a day or two later (that day he first gave me a screen white, but on closing down and restart, it was fine).
  Today, however, not a week later, I have a white screen again.

  I am reluctant to send for repair again, due to the stress involved and the time it takes and the technicians speaking it works for them.

  If anyone can help, or was faced with a similar problem, please respond.

  Oh, and the solution does not lie with the keys FN + F5, because I tried several times... unless there is a way to 'special' to build on them, I'm not in the running for!

  [Edit]: several hours later, as a demonstration of her bored this problem is, my screen is once more working.

  I went on once again, at the time and no joy. Then, after switching OFF, count to ten and the restart, eureka.

  I'll update with news as it happens. If there are all the necessary specific details about "switching on the environment", just let me know.

• Starting on black screen (VFD002)

  My MacBook Pro (13-inch, late 2013, OS X 10.11.6, retina, Iris 1536 MB Intel graphics card) has the same symptoms covered by the repair Extension program which deals with the graphic problems:

  https://www.Apple.com/support/MacBookPro-videoissues/

  However, nothing is said about 13 '' models, which is my case. Why?

  Start up my laptop to a completely black screen. I ran the diagnostic test and it seems that there is a problem with the graphics card: VFD002

  It appeared after I closed the lid of my Macbook, sleep in battery mode implementation. When I opened the lid of my MBP display did not wake up from slumber. However, I can use an external monitor via HDMI, but if in SafeMode only (the retina display main black stills and the external screen is flickering when scrolling). In addition, this graphics card problem leads to crash the system.

  I already tried Resetting PRAM and SMS, but in vain.

  It my second time this has happened. The previous one-any return to normal until after a new OS install. But it happened again so reinstall OS X is not a solution.

  More and more users are complaining of the decline in the quality of some hardware components...

  However, nothing is said about 13 '' models, which is my case. Why?

  The reason is that they are not included in the repair Extension program. Follow the options in the process of repair anyway.

• 6 s iPhone restarts with black screen randomly. However, the system always restores the same question.

  I have an Iphone 6 s 128GB. The iphone automatically restarts with black screen and there is no particular application I use when it crashes.

  I did a system restore twice but still the same issue. Could someone please help?

  If the restore does not solve the problem, it is high time to take your device at the Apple Store for more diagnoostics. This may be material / display problem. Good luck.

• Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

  Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

  What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

  start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

  When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

  I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

  An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

  So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!
