My Laptop screen is blank!?
You could temporarily use any external monitor to get your files off, Just plug in the VGA cable from the monitor to the laptop and reboot. By default the video will display to the external monitor. Your lid switch may be going out. The lid switch is what turns the LCD bulb on and off similar to the switch in a refrigerator. Try opening and closing the LCD several times to see if the back light flickers. If it does it may be the switch which can be cleaned or replaced. If that isn't it it is your LCD bulb or inverter which supplies the LCD power.
My laptop screen is blank. help?
So I fell off the stairs with a Dell laptop on hand, then I check the laptop if Its still working. The screen is black, but the lights are on,the sounds are on, I can hear that the laptop is still functioning, and there are no cracks on the screen that is visible. So what could the problem might be? Help please thanks.
Do you see the backlight of the screen? Observe it in darkness and see the edges.If your backlight is on and black screen is showing it means that your graphics are not responding. Could be a problem of the GPU driver.If you do not see the backlight then there could be a problem with your screen connection and screen itself is switched off.
So... you didn't try connecting an external monitor to the VGA or HDMI port on your laptop?From everything you've said, including the part about the "weird small green lines", you probably need to replace the LCD panel. It is possible that repeatedly opening the laptop lid by one corner would twist the screen enough over time to damage the connection at the back of the LCD panel to begin to separate the printed circuit board behind the LCD panel from the top or bottom edge of the panel itself (the manufacturer and age of the LCD panel decides if the PCB is at the top or bottom).Of course, it could be a video memory issue. That could cause the green lines. Especially if your video memory is just shared system memory, and one of your sticks of Ram was bad. That could not only keep the laptop from booting properly, but also cause those green lines.It could also be a GPU issue, since the Intel Celeron 900 CPU doesn't have a built-in GPU component. That means there is a separate GPU on the board... and if it needs to be reballed, it could be causing your issue.And of course, it could be something else entirely.Now... your next question would be "How do I determine which of these things is causing the problem?" And the answer to that is... testing. Things like... connecting your laptop to an external monitor... swapping out your RAM with known good sticks (not assuming yours are good), and being prepared to purchase an LCD panel without knowing if it really is the problem.Or, you could take it to a repair shop, and let professionals figure it out.
Laptop screen blank, but lights up?
nicely the backlight would have long previous out, wherein case you're particularly lots screwed. you may hook as much as a computer screen, yet that defeats the purpose of a computer. sturdy success. Edit: nicely while you're demonstrate screen does paintings, this is beneficial to purely save twiddling with it. enable it sit down and attempt it returned, sounds like a situation with analyzing the hardrive. sturdy success with you sister, i'm useful your mom and father won't observe or innovations her absence.
Help please, my laptop screen is blank...?
Sounds to me like your video is going out. i've got heard of this happening before, and that is often no longer a competent sign. usually the laptop will fail to "wake-up" from standby mode, it is what it is going into once you shut the lid. Then upon rebooting the video initializes. in spite of the undeniable fact that, many times quickly after, the video won't initialize even after rebooting. try taking off the lid and then keeping the capacity button down for some seconds to close the device thoroughly off. enable it set for roughly 30 seconds and then press the capacity button lower back. If the device boots and you have video lower back then it would in basic terms be a corrupt motive force (optimistically). if so, you ought to back up any records because of the fact your video is the two going to fail or you will would desire to reinstall the OS. try reinstalling the OS first (restore to production facility default)...it is, in case you may get video. If that doesn't paintings or you in basic terms can not get video in any respect, then you particularly ought to touch Dell as quickly as achieveable. optimistically you're nonetheless decrease than guarantee, yet particularly circumstances they'd assist you out besides finding on how long you have owned the device. they're going to in all probability have you ever deliver the laptop to them for upkeep.
Laptop Screen in Blank, but there is Light, Help?
I was working on my laptop when it froze up and would not let me restart. I held down the power button and it turned off, and I pressed it to turn it on again. When I turned it on all the lights came on, and the it made to little sound it makes but the screen is blank, with a low light in the back. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? Oh, my sister dropped my laptop over a month ago, but it was working fine could this be the problem (if so I will kill her she is not very gentle with it all and uses it without my permission) THANKS
Case 1:If your screen is not even showing the user login screen(the one where you see the welcome loading) then it can be a windows issue. Reinstalling windows may fix it.Case 2:If your screen is showing nothing after the BIOS loading screen(Which shows the motherboard manufacturers logo generally) it could be due to hard disk failure. Try inserting your windows recovery disk, click “Repair this PC” and open command prompt from the repair options. Once you’re in command prompt, type “DISKPART”-this will show you all the storage devices connected to your laptop. then type “select disk x”(x=your hard disk, generally disk 0) then try cleaning the disk by simply typing “clean”. After that, exit command prompt and try to reinstall windows. If it still doesn’t work. Try replacing your Hard Disk. I’d recommend getting it done by an authorized service center.Case 3:If your screen displays the windows loading screen but doesn’t show anything after you reach your desktop, it could be that your PC has somehow set a higher resolution than your monitor supports. Try restarting and get to the recovery options(the advanced startup options) and try out “safe mode”(3rd option in Windows 10). If the screen displays everything fine, then the problem is with your display drivers if it still doesn’t, try “enable low resolution”(4th option in Windows 10)- this will set the resolution to the lowest resolution available. After the system boots up, you can change the resolution to whatever you want(remember to cross-check highest supported resolution by your monitor and don’t go higher than that).Case 4:If you’re not seeing anything at all(cannot even get to the BIOS loading screen), then the issue may be with your motherboard/monitor. Go to an authorized service center and get it checked and fixed.Try to explain your problem more briefly if those fixes don’t work.I hope my answer helps! :D
My laptop screen randomly goes blank?
I have an HP laptop with windows 7. I haven't even had it for a year. A little while ago I was just watching a video on youtube and the screen went blank/black. The computer was still on, there was just nothing on the screen. I tried moving the mouse around, and clicking (to see if it was just asleep), but nothing happened. I also closed the laptop for a minute and then opened it again. It was still on, but the screen was blank. I also have norton 360 anti virus protection. The only thing I can think of that I have done to my computer lately is download yahoo messenger a few days ago. This also happened once before a day or two ago. Any idea what the problem could be?
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.
