Laptop turns on, but the screen is black?
My suggestion would be to unplug the cord from the connection on the computer, then remove the battery. After you've done that, press and hold the On/Off switch for about 60 seconds, then, after you've done that connect everything back together, and see if it will reboot. If not, check the hard drive, and the ram and make sure they are all connected tightly.
My laptop turns on but the screen is black. What do I do to fix it?
Other answers have jumped to a hardware fault. Perhaps not incorrectly, sure. But I'd first make sure we're not dealing with a software issue, or any other "have you tried turning it off and back on again?" sort of things.First, and foremost, does your laptop have a "Display Off" button? I have a Sony Vaio which has one of these. It's a flush bezel button near the clamshell hinge. I have absolutely no fucking clue why it's there. But it is. The only thing I can think of is it's a "privacy" button...for when you can't quite hit the (x) close button on the browser window when your spouse walks in on you ogling (.)'s.Since you didn't post a picture I will assume that you mean the screen is entirely black. No faint glow, no nothing? In other words, it doesn't look even remotely like this [note the blinking cursor]:Have you plugged anything new into your laptop recently? A new USB device? A new external drive? Do you have a docking station? If you have a docking station, does it behave differently if on or off of it?Have you verified that your battery is charged, and that even if not, your power supply is providing proper charging to the battery when it's plugged in? My laptop has a little lightning-bolt LED that indicates the power supply is properly plugged in. Sometimes those stupid connectors can become loose -- or worse, crimped [kids knocking the thing about, etc.] -- so that they don't make a proper connection. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down with my laptop that had been "plugged in" for hours only to hit the power button, see it appear to go through its start-up groans, only to have it fizzle-out and not work shortly after.Do you have a recovery disc for the OS you have installed? What happens if you turn the power on with that in the laptop?Do you have a USB memory stick? If so, there are a bunch of different things to try here Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick, even booting DOS from it.
Laptop screen turns black when tilted down...?
There is something called the "reed switch" in laptops. It is like a plastic stick and it is under the LED bar that has your on/off switch etc. When the laptop screen is tilted forward it will hit the reed switch and turn off the screen. That's what it is meant to do. If it is too sensitive you can actually remove the led panel and clip the reed switch so it is shorter and takes more of a tilt to activate, but I would say just don't tilt the screen forward.

I just bought a windows 10 HP laptop yesterday and black screen?
I was watching a video earlier on it and the screen turned white made the notification sound twice and then turned black. Now it turns on but the screen is 100% black. I drained the power, reset it 4 times, updated via an external monitor, reset the bios and still absolutely nothing.
My laptop screen keeps going black but the backlight is still on then it wont let me do anything, why?
I have been having the exact same problem. I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 laptop and mine is 10 days old. I went to control panel- personalization- screen saver , went to "change power settings" and changed "when the computer sleeps" I adjusted my power settings to go to sleep in 5 hours instead of what it was originally set at. Hopefully this will work. *thanks for the tip emucompboy. update: Well, adjusting the power options did not work for me so I read the Toshiba manual and it said to simultaneously hold down 'fn' and 'f5' to make sure that the display priority is not set for an external monitor. Maybe that was the problem but I do not see why my laptop would have been set for an external monitor. This problem is very annoying.
