• PavilionDV4T-1400 white screen at startup

  I have a Pavilion DV4T-1400 , who immediately becomes a white screen on startup. I have no options. This happened out of nowhere.

  Here is some information:

  -Locks caps/scroll/num doesn't turn on when I press on the

  -It has a slight smell of burn on it when I turn it on

  -J' tried a hard reset (power off, then press on and hold power)

  -J' I tried to delete the memory, that I get no beeps, just a black screen and the scrolling/caps lock lights will Flash 4 times

  -J' had the computer almost 2 years warranty for 1 year.

  -J' have the knowledge/skills to remove and replace the maps system etc.

  I'm looking for some advice, or what someone might think the problem is, so I know what to replace.

  Any ideas? It is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Anything it is displayed on an external monitor? If so, it's the screen or the cable and not the mother/gpu card. If this isn't the case, the new, it's worse. According the description, of course looks a catastrophic failure of the motherboard. The slight burning smell is really a bad sign.

  Here's a motherboard on ebay:

  The price is a little high but lower than HP would be. Go down you $ 20 for a Exchange. There are also several services advertised on ebay that will repair your device for about the same price or a little less.

• White screen after login (Vista)

  After updating my computer this morning, the screen now becomes white after I connect. I looked around for finding bugs, but so far I can't make anything of them because my screen does not return to normal. I tried to put it to sleep, hit escape and using the Windows key on my keyboard but I get no response from either of them. CTRL + Alt + Delete displays the usual screen, but none of the available options help to solve the problem.

  Translates into a safe mode black screen after log in and the same problems.

  I would try to do a system restore, but I don't have a disk for Vista.

  Hello

  A white screen may have the same root cause as a blackscreen and be too difficult to treat. Try
  This generic troubleshooting remember black and white the same fix would work. See following message
  If you can't at least win a minimum level of access work.

  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.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  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.

  Here's a video of one of them.

• Cannot access a white screen at Startup - Mode safe

  I have a HP Pavillion laptop dx4 under Vista Home Premium.  I can't give a lot more in the way of care because all the thing will give me is a blank screen and I don't have the stored information.  This is what happened:

  My computer was working fine last time I used it with success, that 24 hours ago.  (I should point out that I do not use Incredimail, since this seems to be the root of the problem in a lot of posts I've read looking for help with similar problems).  Today, I opened the laptop, and when the screen is turned on, it was white Uni.  Tried the CTRL + ALT + DELETE, touch Windows, etc. but the computer did not respond.  A hold down the power button to restart - screen went straight to white when he turned his back.  Tried to go to Mode safe mode by restarting again by pressing F8, no luck.  Tried to let the computer just sit with the white screen, nothing happened.  I don't have a Vista installation CD, because the software was preinstalled when you buy.  Honestly, I don't know what could have caused this.  No error messages, no upgrades to facilities, or recent day etc.

  Any suggestions?

  If your laptop has been provided with recovery discs, there is a hidden restore partition that you would have access to the recovery disks. Probably too late now, although if you call HP support, they can offer a recovery disc for a small fee.

  It seems your display has no, or less connection to the motherboard, time to visit the HP repair shop

• Computer hangs on a white screen on startup with the keyboard is plugged.

  Original title: I have a problem starting

  I have a problem when I start my pc with my internet stick plugged and it hangs on a white screen. I have to get the key out and close my pc and reboot to get to the screen to login manually.

  This also happens randomly - some days it just starts with the key and the other days he dislikes the key and goes to blank screen.

  Why is this randomly - this is my question? If the settings are the same so why did happen randomly instead of blocking me or just start every time? Why is it random?

  Equipped with Vista

  Hi donga65,

  • To go through the other advice?

  Try Method 1 to downstairs, go to the method 2 If this does not resolve the issue.

  Method 1: You can update the drivers for the computer to check the issue. Log on to the manufacturer's Web site and install all the device driver updates including the chipset. See if it helps.

  Method 2: Make sure that the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) is not altered. Check the boot sequence and make sure that the hard drive is the first boot device. Check with the manufacturer for more details.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I hope this helps.

• white screen after that vista went on mode 'sleep'

  Hello

  My laptop started to have problems after going sleep mode hibernation recently. I run a Dell Vostro under Vista 32 bit. My big problem is that I can't test one of the solutions I found on the internet so far because even with a forced shutdown the laptop never start back. White screen. Nothing is ever displayed.
  Last time I went out that holding the key FN holding power. Then released. The screen came blue and memory tests and drive hard started. I let it run and no problem was found on the hardware side. After the tests were performed, the computer restarts and I press F8 to boot into safe mode. Everything went well for a week after this episode. I tried the "sleep mode" once again and it was as if nothing ever happens. Everything worked well.
  And now, it's happening once again. This time, the combination FN-power supply does not work. Nothing appears on the screen ever. The power button not blink or change color. The hard drive light turns on for 3 seconds only when I try to start. Then it's screen white and everything that I hear the laptop fan...
  Any idea of someone from the combination of keys to force start the laptop into a kind of safe mode?
  Thank you very much!!!

  So it seems that I have to respond to me :) Just in case someone goes nuts facing the same issue, find multiple options on the web 2007 update you this, change the configuration that say, start in SafeMode etc., here is what I found to get out of the black screen after a watch on my laptop. I hope this might help someone else:

  1. Open the housing by unscrewing all to access the battery (not easy, go slowly and carefully do not damage the fragile covers). I hope that your battery is more accessible than mine.
  2. Disconnect the battery cable (if you have my laptop Dell Vostro: first - raise the head end of the connector so you can exit the orange cable gently)
  3. At this point, the rear of the laptop is completely "naked".
  4. Unplug the power cable
  5. Press and hold the power button to laptop for 30 sec.
  6. Plug the power cable back (battery is always not connected)
  7. Press the FN key + power button for 1 second and release them both at the same time
  8. The DELL logo is displayed, and finally the screen is not black more! I need the pre-boot system assessment tests. I hope that you will have this screen also. I suggest that you run the tests. In my case, nothing was wrong with the hardware. This is a Windows problem.

  After this step, I was able to start in safe mode and play with the features of windows. Since I'm a busy mom and small business owner, I don't have time to assess what is wrong or even think to completely replace Windows on an old computer laptop 1 year part-time, so far. So I just canceled the sleep function for now.

  Good luck.

  Try resetting the SMC

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

  If you try a safe boot, just hold SHIFT when the computer comes on, not Command-Shift.

  In addition, if you can get to the login screen, try to hold SHIFT while you connect to your account (not while you type, but when you have finished your password and immediately after pressing enter/return).

• White screen on startup of the satellite C850

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite C850 PSCBWA-05E001 so 18 months out of warranty now.
  I bought it for a few friends, I gave him to who are in the Philippines, so it is difficult for me to check and repair. My friends lack the funds to get it checked if any help would be appreciated.

  Some days he started to initiate a white screen. You can see the mouse, but that's all. They are unable to get the computer display anything. I read on several forums that it could be a video cable however I got them to hooked to an external monitor to work through the laptop's VGA output & restarted the laptop & the external monitor goes to white screen which are also seems to exclude a faulty video cable as this would affect the monitor to the laptop only I think.

  I'm concerned that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

  Very disappointed for my friends since the machine is just out of warranty.
  Someone at - it ideas?

  > I am afraid that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

  Yes, I have fear of the motherboard must be replaced in case of malfunction of the graphics card of m.
  It would be the worst cases because the new motherboard is very expensive and in most cases it s not worth buying a new motherboard if isn t valid warranty more.

  I have no many solutions for you; It looks like a hardware problem and to resolve this problem, replace the defective part. But of course, it of a just a question of money :(
