Turn the Inspiron 1721-black screen and nothing

My Inspiron 1721 laptop stopped working. I turn it on - the fans start for a few seconds and it goes silent, then screen remains black.

I left it on all night and turned it off and on again this morning and it came until I logged on windows, then went black again. It's like hibernation as the fans aren't on and his well silent when I stripped down the hard drive was still underway when I listened.

Can someone tell me whats wrong?

I tried the take the battery / power of maintaining 60 seconds put the wire back with battery etc thing tried external monitor, tried different ram etc, but nothing.

Any suggestions?

I had to replace the motherboard on my own. Looks like your's mine has done the same thing, I suggest to replace yourself if possible, or if you are unable to find someone who can, it is very easy to replace. Also you need a new dvd player, it looks like yours is not good. But that has never fixes your pc should be able to confirm if it is good or bad.

I hope this helps

You can find the motherboard online for about $150 and 20 for a DVD Rom drive

Good luck

  • Start the computer to black screen and the computer runs hot

    original title: sick Vista laptop

    My daughter portable computer began acting strangely very yesterday.

    Once connected, I get a black screen and a cursor.  The system seems to work at full speed, because I can hear the fan, and it runs very hot.  No matter how long it sits, the desktop does not appear.

    I can use Ctrl-alt-del to display the Task Manager.  The list of processes is limited to the process of the current user, and none of them use important CPU. If I click on 'See the process for all users', taskmanager freezes and I have to disconnect to get rid of him.

    Using the Task Manager, I can kill the process Explorer and then start it again, date at which I get my desktop.  However, it is still running hot and noisy.  With the help of SysInternals ProcessExplorer, there is no process using any important CPU.  Most of the time CPU is reported as inactive.

    I don't know what to think.  A boot loader took over the system?  A hardware problem?  OS corrupted files?

    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.

  • Satellite L300D-13s - black screen and nothing appears

    Hi, I have Toshiba Satellite L300D-13 s (pslc8e-02p013en).

    I turned off my laptop as usual and when trying to turn it back on yesterday, I have NO screen. I can here it whirring and all my lights are on, my battery is showing green (paying), but all I have is a black screen, no markers, imprecateurs, whatever it is?
    Have I somehow turned off the screen?

    I was in battery saving mode if it has nothing to do with it at all?

    PLEASE HELP - I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TRY

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Normally the battery saving mode (stand-by) has nothing to it. On my Satellite L300, it works correctly and I often use this mode.

    In any case, it would be interesting to know if you can see an image on an external monitor. The internal monitor FL inverter is may be defective and so it does not show an image... Who knows? ?:|

  • After logging on my Satellite Pro only black screen and the cursor are visible

    I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

    I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
    thnx

    Hello

    You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

    Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
    Check it!
    Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

    I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
    To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
    In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

    But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

    Good luck and bye ;)

  • Black screen and cursor only

    I have Vista Ultimate and after BIOS boot I get the black screen and nothing else. I can get into CMOS with little or no problem, but not everything can go further. Any terminology suggestions to solve this problem?

    Hello

    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.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
    CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    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

  • Black screen and mode standby with the message "no signal".

    Correctly, it's... kind of weird, I use my computer and the monitor for a year or 2 now and don't never had real problems. The thing is that when I got home last night I found my black screen and standby mode (as if the computer was turned off (which it wasn't)). I thought that the reset will solve the problem, and so I did and didn't get the message "no signal". All tried, reconnecting cables, reset several times I could count... nothing helped for awhile.

    At any given time during one of my restarts it reworked all of a sudden no aparent reason. So going on my daily buissiness I want to get back in the saddle, when I accidentally hit the side of my computer with a book and the screen went to 'no signal' again. Just tried again and even used my cell phone to check if the monitor was working,... now comes the weird part,... also on my laptor monitor is having problems with "no signal", but only when I do my main screen. It works as a secondary screen, but I can't get the context in which to work. (finding that I'm guessing that this problem is not related to my normal computer, but I'm not sure).

    I am running vista and got a nvidia 8800GT graphics card. Also, I noticed something that is at any time using both the hdmi cable on the graphics card or using the socket with the internal chipset of my computer makes no difference. in both cases, I get "no signal" and the screen goes to sleep... Is there someone who can help me and tell me what probably is the problem here? I'm really looking forward to the answers, thank you very much for your time and effort.

    Hi Ron Suykerbuyk,

    If you are comfortable, then try to remove the CPU cover and check if the graphics card is well connected to the motherboard. Even if it is connected correctly, you can try to reconnect the graphics card and check.

    phoechan,
    More than likely if this started after you upgrade to Windows7 then you might have to update your hardware drivers.  Go to the websites of the manufacturers of hardware for your PC and get all the latest drivers for Windows 7 (video, sound, chipset, etc...).  If they don't have Windows 7 drivers you may have questions until they create them.  You can also try to boot your PC and also right click on the game .exe file and change the compatibility mode to Vista or XP.

  • At the start of the laptop goes to a black screen and says invalid partition.

    Original title: can I PRO 1-2cpu (IBM Laptop) Xp.

    • Not long I Formated my Windows XP PRO 1-2cpu, thinking that he would have run faster, not a blue screen crash and eliminate any viruses that could in fact, now that its formatted I can't use, whenever I start the laptop it goes to a black screen and says invalid partition, I don't know what that means though.

      so my question is there a way I can restore the computer back to normal? However, I don't have a recovery disk.

    A lot depends on how reformat you your hard drive.  Most manufacturers have a recovery partition on the hard drive that can be used to reinstall the operating system. Access you this by pressing a button that appears briefly at the beginning of the boot process.  If you have reformatted the drive c: partition only you might be OK and can get by using this recovery partition.  Otherwise, if you reformatted all the hard drive, then your only alternative is to get a Windows installation CD, boot from this CD and reinstall Windows.   Contact your computer manufacturer for advice.

  • Invalid product key, left my computer with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot.

    A few days ago, I tried to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 10 using the free update. Installation hung at 84% for 2 hours, then restarted, was unable to recover the installation and then could not get back to Win 7. This left us with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot. The computer would remain in this State for about 10 minutes and then reboot and repeat.

    Fortunately, or so I thought, I had a few CD Windows installation backup from the back to the era of digital river. So I thought I'd install fresh on my empty partition, copy my files and data, and then format the partition with the installation broken on.

    I did, but now he tells me that my product key is not valid and cannot be activated. The product key came on a real label on the PC when we bought it.

    The key is for X 16-96072. I installed X 17-58997 (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 with SP1 (u)). I don't know what is the problem with the key? Should I have installed without the (u)?

    One key 25 digits grouped in 5 sequences of 5 characters not X 17-58997.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.
