X121e - black screen after waking up from suspend-to-RAM

I am the owner of a X121e ThinkPad - Notebook Type 3051-5QG (processor of AMD E350). After a BIOS - update 1.07 to 1.16 I had a problem to wake up from the S3 - suspend to RAM function.

Restarting the laptop and the fan works but there is no beep and the screen remains black. There is no way to operate except a complete hard stop by pushing the button on/off voltage.

Someone knows the problem and has a solution? Or should I wait and hope for the next Version of the BIOS solve the problem? I would come down to 1.07 BIOS, but I'm afraid that this is not possible.

Since 02-12-2012 Lenovo has released a new Bios-Version 1.17.

I installed the update today and the problem disappeared. I hope that there are no new bugs in this Version of the Bios, but so far, everything seems to work fine.

  • T410 - washed out colors or lines after waking up from suspend

    I have a strange problem with the display on my new Thinkpad T410. I don't know yet how to describe. Red, green and blue still exist, like black and white, but the brightness between the two levels are washed out or banded. I tried to take pictures of some color models to demonstrate.

    Most of the time, the screen works as I expect. Sometimes however (especially after waking up from his sleep?) the gray borders around things seem too bright and washed out colors. When this happens, he persists and worsens slowly over time.

    If I change the brightness of the screen from top to bottom with Fn + start/end, the effect will change randomly to each pressure, sometimes changing to something even worse, showing a lot of color, strips or almost monochrome, but then to the lesser model, but will always go wrong.

    Not affected by:

    • Change brightness
    • closing cover
    • move to the rear and projection screen
    • locking computer
    • Changing resolution
    • change refresh rate
    • change to 16-bit color
    • tapping or screen rotation

    Didn't happen since I installed the new BIOS.

  • black screen after waking from sleep

    have a 2009 Intel-based iMac that wake properly from sleep if more than 30 minutes. It is a screen 24 '', 5 GB RAM and processor Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz, 256 GB SSD drive and was just upgraded to El Capitan at the start of this behavior. The extra RAM and SSD have been installed a few days before the upgrade of El Caitan, so am not sure that the upgrade of the OS was the culprit, but it seemed to work normally after the SSD and RAM have been added. After that the computer sleep long enough to power down disks, etc., the screen remains dark when the computer wakes. If you put it to sleep then it wake up immediately he returns normally without problems. You can hear the startup sound and can even connect and enter the password and hear the mail and other programs that are running, giving their notification sounds, etc.. However, the screen remains dark. If you restart it 10 or 15 times the screen will start normally and the computer works perfectly. diagnosis seems to indicate normal operation. I tried to reset the SMC and the NVRAM and start in safe mode, but these things have no effect. Is it possible to get help with this?

    I run Apple Hardware Test and found no hardware problem under standard test or extended. I ran the first aid on the SSD, but no permissions problem have been found. It is not as if I have a hardware problem, but a problem of software not defined.

  • Re: Satellite L675-10 t black screen after disassembly problem

    Hi all

    I recently had some problems with my L675-10T overheating, even when I was with a big fan of cooling for the games.

    I realized that the problem resulted from blocked exhaust and dust and it is why, after reading and watching the many tutorials, I opened my laptop computer successfully and all cleaned up.

    The temperature dropped to 20 c and I was happy.

    The next night, however, took my laptop and headed for the living room, and it will stop.
    Black screen and nothing passed. So I ran to the internet and found this solution, it worked btw.

    1. turn off your computer
    2. unplug all wires (including energy)
    3. disconnect the battery from the bottom of the computer.
    4 re - connect the power cable. (the battery should not be in the computer)
    5. turn power on. The screen works. Choose start windows normally. (if you get this screen)

    The thing is, the same thing happened to me this morning as well.
    Twice in 2 days and im a little worried I did something wrong during Assembly of the laptop or something. Any ideas? Or do I keep accountant with the above solution?
    Looks like a mess of power upwards of sorts.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    I assume that this question has not happened before you have disassembled the laptop. Right?
    To be honest this similar issue happened to me to. The portable light not (black screen) after I'm entered in the mode 'sleep'. However, this happened only once

    It s hard to tell why this happened to you it of not impossible that you have damaged something for disassembled the procedure.

    However, the fact is that the warranty is not valid more because you opened the laptop. That is why any approach (especially parts replacement) to solve this problem would cost money.
    So ultimately it s your decision: a technician visit to downtown to see the pieces of equipment or keep your stay with the workaround mentioned above.

  • At the end of the factory restore, but black screen after "Windows has set up the computer.

    The model in question is VC863AA #UUW

    I want to get back the computer to the factory condition, so I rebooted and you press F11. Everything went exactly like this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00814731#N72 (chapter "Start a restore from the hard drive and the computer is off")...

    .. until step 10, which States:

    "The computer restarts and continues in the installation of Windows. Complete the configuration screens and wait until the computer finishes the installation program. "Then turn off the computer, reconnect all devices and turn on the computer.

    Yes, the computer restarts. She continues in the Windows installation (it says "medan windows konfigurerar datorn Vanta", which means roughly "Please wait while Windows configures the computer"). After that which was for about 5-10 minutes, the text disappears and the computer restarts by itself.

    After that, he gives a normal load Windows Vista bar and after that black screen. It seems to be a little bit alive but jammed somehow. If I let it be for several hours, he goes to the standby mode. If I wake up, he still won't. I can plug a USB another keyboard and he will make some access to hard drive (load a driver probably). I can press the sleep button and it will go into sleep mode. But if I press the power button / stop briefly, it will NOT stop.

    So finally, after several hours I forced to shut down (by pressing the power button / stop longer). When I start it, it goes back to behave as explained in the previous paragraph.

    If I press F8 during startup and select Safe mode, it goes in safe mode and I get dialogue indicating in Finnish:

    «Asenna Windows: Windows ei voi suorittaa vikasietotilassa asennusta.» See devam fenetresdans asennusta uudelleen tietokoneen kaynnistamalla. »

    Rough translation:

    "Installation of Windows: Windows cannot complete installation in safe mode." "You can continue the installation by restarting the computer.

    If I restart the computer, it goes back to the black screen after the windows loading bar.

    This suggests that there is something in the installation of Windows who jams it.

    I can install Windows Vista from a Vista DVD, but then I can't use the software included with the computer. (App States installation cannot install on a machine that is unauthorized, then of course they are looking for some OEM HP things.)

    Any suggestions on how to fix jam that continues with installing Recovery Windows or how to install the software on a normal Vista would be very appreciated.

    I solved the problem. Good thing I didn't order the restore disks, because that would not have solved the problem.

    I decided to post it because I don't know there will be others who have HP Pavilion Elite m9754sc and will have to face this problem of a black screen after the restoration.

    The fact is that the restore worked perfectly, but in this display card driver is buggy and it causes the screen to go black.

    I thought that what I installed fresh Vista which worked until I installed the driver from the recovery partition display. I tried VGA, outputs HDMI and DVI on the factory installed GeForce GT220 and none worked.

    A defective display driver should normally be no problem we could go in safe mode and fix it to the it. But as with the recovery goes to pre install state (ask what language to use etc.), safe mode does not work.

    So the solution is to unlock the display of the motherboard connectors and remove the factory installed GeForce GT220. Once the recovery and installation of Windows is finished using the graphics card integrated motherboards, you can reconnect the GeForce GT220 and get a updated driver with safe mode.

    3. Replace the hard drive in the laptop.
    4. Tried again and the installation works well!

    Since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, the laptop displays a black screen after the sleep or hibernate modes.  The system seems to be commissioning (HDD, fan action), but no video.  The system boots normally cold trouble-free starting.  Never, there is this problem with Windows 7.

    Hi @Bobby876,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP G60 laptop and problems with the mode "sleep" after the update to Windows 10. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. In this way, it will look at the hardware installed on your laptop.

    You can try:

    In Device Manager, click the arrow

    next to display adapters to expand this category
    Right-click on the graph, and then select Update driver software if more than 1 graphic adapter do 1 at a time.
    Select search automatically for updated driver software.

    The laptop must find and automatically install the updated driver
    Once the installation is complete, restart your laptop.

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  • Corrupt BIOS V5 531 Acer black screen after startup, f2 and f12 also. Repairable?

    Hello

    Yesterday I tried to install Win 7 if I could play D & D Neverwinter on Arc after using * nix systems study (looking to start a career as an administrator). I had plugged into a power strip that was, unbeknownst to me, turned off and I went to make coffee and watch some news. When I came back to check the progress of my laptop was powered off and since then I havn't been avle start without being blocked at a black screen after the start page of the bios. The f2 and f12 also leads to a black screen, I can not change the boot device or enter the bios Setup.

    Is - fixable at all? For example, is the a key-combo, I can use it to restore from a backup bios? Or, do I have to bring in a technician who can install a new chip bios or flash this old some how? Or did I brick pemanently my device?

    V1.22 is what you want to be part of a unit of Windows 7.

    The problem is if it crashed during the upgrade process, it will take some special tools clearly on the chip on the MB and recharge it with a new BIOS. I would contact your local support team to see what options are available.

  • Black screen after the attempt to upgrade to windows 10

    I was trying to upgrade windows 7 on a laptop HP Windows 10. The first attempt was via the white windows logo in the taskbar. This attempt was interrupted, probably accidentally turned off the button wifi trying to move the computer. The second time I tried to use windows ten upgraded Installer. I did the usual download and installed up to 99%. He remained on the installation of 99% during the night and the next morning without change. I turned off the computer and he made a series of updates before shutting down for good. When it starts again, it has a black screen but the cursor is there and movable. I tried in safe mode for the repair and restoration of the system, but it did not work. I tried to reset the BIOS to default, but does not. I try to leave the computer turned off for an extended period of time disconnected from the internet to see if that helps. The last attempt to start, windows 7 seems to start but then ends up on the black screen and I held down the power button to stop it. I'd rather upgrade to windows 10 if possible, but if cannot then if can go back to windows 7 will be enough. It worked great on Windows 7 before trying to upgrade, so there is no problems with the computer.

  • Black screen after start - "Video_tdr_failure atikmpag.sys.

    Original title: black screen after startup

    A few days ago I accidentally dropped my laptop I was trying to pick it up. It froze and I used the power button to stop it. The next day, it worked very well, I played a game, but then the screen got all blurry and it froze again. Therefore, whenever I started it normally, I would get a blank screen. But in Safe Mode, it worked fine.

    I assumed it was my hard drive, I got a new and it seemed to work very well, I had reinstalled W7. Until I tried to install the updates and it the screen went white again. I used the system restore and got it to do work. Then decided to move to W10.

    After the upgrade, the pc restarted with a white screen, I have it connected to the TV with an hdmi cable while you try to start it, then the screen worked fine. He stayed very well until I tried to install the updates. It would not just start up. He gave to the page «Video_tdr_failure atikmpag.sys»

    I returned to Windows 7 and now it always starts with a blank screen.

    * the screen works very well throughout the boot process

    And works fine in Safe Mode *.

    Chances are, at least (if not more) there is now a default in the video circuits.

    Be aware, the laptops are very delicate animals.  This type of accident will most often mean end of system life.  The biggest problem is the cost of the repairs in such a situation.  The pieces are almost all owners - read overvalued.  Repairs made by technicians who are not deeply experienced in the setting of your particular brand/model are often insufficiently.  Which leads you onto the OEM repair service that is overvalued.

    The result is that once a laptop is spent on the brand of 3 years, repair of such a system in such circumstances: the replacement more often.

    Well consider a desktop computer type for a replacement.  They are cheaper to begin with, usually more powerful - sometimes by a factor of 2, are easily repairable using components of off - the shelf that are commonly available and one made by several competitors.   Desktop computers usually hold up well almost two times longer.  From an ergonomic point of view, laptops are considered experts machines of 20 minutes.  Use of meaning beyond that time can be bad for your health.
