  • First white screen of death, now black screen on the internal, external screen works

    Hello

    a few months before I could not suddenly start my macbook more. He had the white screen of death and absolute no functionality in addition to its departure.

    A few days ago I got the macbook, open/close a couple of times so that it is operated and suddenly the keyboard LED lit and the screen

    turned black. I realized that he really started and connected to the external monitor. everything works fine now in addition to the internal display.

    I run Apple Hardware Test mode clamshell, but extensive testing even said that there is no material errors.

  • Satellite A350 - white screen of death

    Hello

    Recently, I broke my screen in a fit of anger and sent him to Toshiba repair.
    They replaced my screen. It was a month ago.

    I installed windows 7 3-4 days ago and it worked fine.
    I opened my laptop one night to discover a white screen empty.
    After turning it works, take the battery and the white screen remained, and then it appeared randomly with system restore options

    I restored the system and apply a fix from microsoft to counter the supposed error windows 7. It did not work.
    White screen when I put the laptop to sleep (the laptop stop) or stop it.

    The screen appeared again yesterday and I left it all night in the hope that this would change.
    My sister took out and put back in the battery and a screen appeared asking how you would like to start windows.
    I started windows then reinstalled Windows Vista using a mirosoft installation disc.

    After the installation of AVG Antivirus it tells me to restart.
    I restarted the laptop and instead of the toshiba logo on the white screen of death appeared.
    He stayed for 10-20 seconds then my laptop started.

    I looked at this article (http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2008/04/13/laptop-lcd-screen-turned-white/) and suggested that the screen may have problems. I should send it back to Toshiba?
    Can someone provide diagnostics?

    My specs:
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 processor
    2.13 ghz
    4.00 GB RAM
    32 bit OS

    So basically, I have a white screen randomly when I reboot, turn on, or put the laptop to sleep. If he get's a strange thing to many factors. I don't think that its my OS because what happens on Vista and Windows 7

    Please help as much as you can. I didn't wan't to take it in for repair as it can cost money

    Hello

    For me, it looks like hardware problem.
    It s hard to tell if it s graphic card issue or display problem.
    But if the display has been replaced a month ago, then I would recommend contacting the guys again. I mean the part could be faulty again and my knowledge, replaced parts are covered by warranty for a short time then perhaps that the warranty would cover it once again if the display is faulty

  • White screen of death. MacBook Pro. Help, please!

    Hello! I desperately need your help.

    So I was with my mac, all normal until one day it freezes and I m to force close.

    Unfortunately when I tried to turn it back on, it's just stuck in the white screen of death. Most of the time, is just white screen without logo or an image folder or anything like that.

    I know that my computer is alive because sometimes (not often), the apple logo and I m able to try reinstalling OS X (but then it crashes again), but most of the time is just a white screen. I tried most of the entries and they don't do the trick (Cmmd + R, shift, etc.) Most of them Don t work and Don t anything, except for the PRAM zapping entry that is Cmmd + Option + R + P, but after resetting, it still shows just the white of the screen most of the time.)

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Thank you very much.

    If you can get to single user. Order S at startup, you can use the command fsck - fy, then click on enter. If return it Mac or (your user name) change of command run again until it come back OK.  You are unable to recover, R command? or safe mode, the SHIFT key down?  If you get something different during race one user post. You have a time machine backup or whatever it is?

  • Just as a reference: how to FIX the annoying 'White Screen Of Death"with Silverlight and"Access denied"error with computer management.

    Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.

    SYMPTOMS:
    -When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
    -If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.

    CAUSE:
    The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
    %windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

    Notice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
    You will probably find any % somewhere.

    What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
    Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.

    SOLUTION:
    -From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
    -Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".

    http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg

    -Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

    http://www.adminxp.com/windowsvista/envvariabl.PNG

    -See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".

  • Variation on the white screen of death - Sansa Fuze.

    I get the white screen of death, but my problem is unique in this sense: I can turn on my rocket, browse my menu and enter in the subsections of the menu, for example, Mian Menu > settings > Panel configuration, but when I click on an option, say, format, white screen, reboots of my rocket, and the screen is frozen on the logo screen.  Help, please

    Sounds beyond any help that is initiated by the user (reset, format, firmware, re - install, etc..). I would like to, or send it back if you are in the window to return to your dealer. If this is not the case, call SanDisk directly to a likely RMA replacement if it is less than 1 year old.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphones stuck on a 'white screen of death '.

    Hello world

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8520. Yesterday, he got stuck on a white screen, with a little black clock in the middle (the kind you see when you're waiting for a page to load in the browser).

    Even if I turn off my phone, take the battery or put it on charge, this "white screen of death" I read he is described by other people online, won't go away!

    If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

    Ok.

    If your BlackBerry is turned off the power with a black or white screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life may be the flashing red indicator light in the upper corner. Nothing seems to wake and Desktop Manager does not recognize that a device is connected.

    (1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    (2) on your PC, go to start > run and copy and paste the following line exactly (i.e. with quotation marks):

    'c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader\loader.exe' /nojvm

    (3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
    (4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
    (5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Press Next and finish, and that you are well on your way to get your Blackberry to life. Congratulations! Just unplug and let the process finish completely.

    NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator', then you must download the Blackberry operating system for your support and your device.
    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate type of carrier and network, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the steps above again and you should be on the right track.

    My Blackberry Bold 9700 had the white screen of death and will seek to revive, but while loading could fail and then repeat it, I then he backed up using the Blackberry Desktop Software and tried to do the reset of the system using this...

    It could be at this stage.  I'm leaning more towards the software side.  Can you take the device to the store and reload the software?  If we give them problems, then the material may be failing.

  • Grayish white screen of death

    Why is my computer out crapping with a white screen death grayish.  It used to be a blue S.O.D. I don't know what happened, but it fails too often and I did all the maintenance tasks and spyware checks and have found no improvement.  Any thoughts?

    You can determine exactly what causes most of the problems by following the steps below:

    Method 1: Put the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists:

  • iMac 8.1 White Screen of Death

    Before I launch into history, here are some of the relevant features of my computer. I have an iMac 8.1 (2008 model) with a processor clocked at 2.66 DC2, 2 GB of RAM and a hard disk of 1 TB with three partitions. The main (about 640 GB) ran 10.11, the second a (32) snow leopard and the rest it has been implemented with Windows 7. This configuration worked well enough (if a little cludgily) for some time, but the other day, things came to a head.

    It has a bit of history history, please bear with me.

    Monday, after the computer has been awkwardly slow with no application, I thought to reinstall El Capitan to see if that would help. After the installation failed, I ran disk utility on the main partition to see what he would say. After a brief inspection, he said that it was a problem he couldn't solve, recommended making sure that my data has been backed up and clear. The Snow Leopard partition, however, seemed fine. Somewhere along the line I also gave Techtool Pro 8 a spin; It seems to indicate that most of the things associated with non-partition were very well, but found that the hard drive (in general) has failed to test temperature.

    In any case, I boot in Snow Leopard, I guess to see if the old version of disk utility would have a bit more luck (this may sound stupid, but I confess I have a lingering distrust of the latest iteration of this software). As expected, he did not progress. I even ran DiskWarrior 4, and he says that the partition was shot. Somewhere along the way, I had disassembled the main partition for a reason, and after not being able to get him back for some time (and getting only ReadOnly when she didn't come back), I myself resigned and the likelihood that the partition was shot. We ran by Best Buy and picked up a 1 TB external drive (which I never had before, as stupid as it sounds; "I guess I never realized to cheap ways they had obtained). I spend a night using carbon copy to backup my important data and when I'm done moving things on the next day morning, delete this partition. So far so good. I reinstall El Capitan without any hitch and spend a day or two, transfer of information on the 'new '. I also make sure to configure the new disk as a time Machine, get all my data saved on it.

    Things seem to be fine, and I'm starting to get back to my daily routine. However, this morning, after the connection and use it for a little while, the entire screen changes abruptly a very light grey/white color and no unresponsive. I understand that nothing is happening, stop and restart the power. The screen remains white. The slider appears, but nothing big happens else. At some point (I'm afraid I don't remember if it's on this first boot or one of the few later), a folder with a flashing question mark appears (this never appeared, however, on one or two startups). I try different things: reset PRAM (which at least brought the sound chime, who had kept silent, back), reset the SMC and boot into safe mode, a disc hard my choice with the Option key pressed, or since the Snow Leopard DVD. When he answered the optionkey down initially, it would shoot the cursor and screen as if he was going to offer me different drives, but nothing ever came, not even the external drive. After further start attempts, he stopped to show anything, even the cursor.

    I have the external drive disconnected right now. When you start the computer, a white screen comes up and then nothing else seems to happen, no matter what key combos are pressed.

    It was for some time ago, but I thought it would be useful to mention that we sometimes have blackouts here. After such an event, old computer power supply burned and had to be replaced. Since that time, however, everything seemed to work pretty well.

    I looked around, discussions and others to try to see if I could find a similar experience, but as it is I'm quite puzzled. The only thing I have not tried is opened and unplug the hard drive as suggested by an intern, to see if she might try to find other media to boot from.

    I thought I would ask here to see if he has any advice this community had to offer before doing something drastic. Thanks for reading and your review.

    If you have the original install disc provided with the computer, run Apple Hardware Test Mode Extended 2 - 3 times back to back. If errors appear when you have confirmed a significant hardware problem the computer has to go repair. The reason to run AHT in Extended Mode what is complete, but it can miss errors during the first and even the second pass.

    However my guess is have some other hardware problem and you really takes them to a CENTER in your area to be diagnosed professionally.

  • Stor.E TV + White Screen of Death"

    My box packed yesterday, surprisingly 1 day after her 1st birthday! All I get now is a white glitter on the front panel display.

    Means that the box has not experienced a catastrophic failure, or did I suspect a blockage of the software. If it is the latter, how do I do a hard reset?

    The script was:
    I transferred files from the box on my home network. This went well.
    I navigated to the folder video using the remote control, selected a video I want to resume playback.
    The curriculum vitae of confirmation popup does not work, he bombed at the store screen logo then at home.
    I've sailed to the video and allows FFx16 to get to the point where I wanted to. It has bombarded the logo again.
    I noticed the screen says "loading" Panel, while the logo showed, then returned to the House.
    Thinking he has hung up, I thought that a reboot of power would be sort so I turned off with the remote control.
    I gave it a few minutes and then power on. The screen showed just a flickering white screen.
    Then, I disconnected all cables and power supply and left for an hour. Once again, same WSoD under tension.

    I noticed other comments on this forum ask questions about the reset of the box, but someone is there never an answer that worked?

    I can't do any connection box to my pc of office on site with the USB device or the network cable on a browser by using the intellectual property which it had sold.

    Since it is under warranty I opened the box to look for a jumper to reset, no luck. Also, no sign of battery backup to perform to get first start start. The design is beautifully put together with the help of SMD components and connectors firmly waiting. I disconnected a Samsung 1 TB Sata HD, then reconnected when he put it back together. He turned again on same buthe WSoD.

    Someone at - it ideas on how to this reset to life?

    TIA
    Malc

    Hi Malc

    > I noticed other comments on this forum ask questions about the reset of the box, but someone there never an answer that worked

    You can reset the Stor.E + only in the configuration of the system Stor.E. There is an option called default restore
    But if you are not able to get the system configuration, you will not be able to restore the settings so that this option is useless in your case

    Looks like its common 1 TB SATA 3.5 HDD you could connect it to a USB port using a controller USB-to-SATA it is maybe you would help to gain access to files on the HARD drive otherwise I guess the HARD drive died.

  • Y580 - white screen of death?

    I recently bought a used Y580. He had 3 USB ports (USB 3.0 I guess) does not screen had stopped coming on or even turning the power on, and an external monitor would work on this subject. When I first turned it on, the Lenovo logo came on the screen for one second and then he went. It was a cold start.

    First, I replaced the screen, which I should have known was not the problem because he came once. No improvement.

    Secondly, I replaced the cable from the monitor, which, again, I should have known was not the problem because he came once.

    That made it worse. Now, when I turn on the machine, the screen has no power for about 20 or 30 seconds. Then he powered away and turns very slowly to the white suit. It's as if the screen is all pixels turn slowly until they are all on, all white. I did two times but decided to turn it off for the sake of fear that I have would be detrimental to the screen.

    Oh, one last thing. When I opened it to the top, I found that someone had already been in the laptop and the right monitor hinge was broken. Screw external incoming in this area would not go out (just spun) and internally, the motherboard was missing a screw from the hinge. Then when I opened the upper part, the hinge support finished braking ripped off and came all the way upward and out of the Assembly section. There is a black wire that goes over there, but it is not connect on the screen in any way that I can see. I was wondering if it was a kind of ground, and when it is completely broken, it caused a problem.

    Any ideas what could cause white screen, it?

    Thank you.

    -Brian

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    It turns out that the new screen, I bought was not good. I went back to my original screen, which was good, and of course, the screen now works, I decided.

    NOTE: the original monitor problem does have to do with the monitor cable not being plugged into the motherboard sure enough, that's why it would work briefly, then suddenly the screen turns off, as if she had no power.

    Thanks for the help!
