[HELIX] Black screen with HDMI over keyboard dock

Hi everyone, I just came across a weird issue with my Helix: When I connect my Helix including keyboard dock via HDMI to my TV the screen stays black. I checked following things: - Sound is working over TV - Screen connection is detected by Helix and also by TV (otherwise screen would be blue) - HDMI connection is working if I directly connect the tablet with the same adapter to the TV - RGB adapter is working fine also inclunding the dock I have the current driver and BIOS updates installed. Does anyone encounter the same issue or knows how to solve it? Might be either a driver or HW issue with the dock I suspect. Thanks for any input on this! Markus

If I do not use the Win-P or Ctrl-F7 key combination to change it to Duplicate Screen, then it may go automatically to "Second Screen only" which seems to be occurring in your situation.
If the setting wont change after the screen goes blank, then it could b a driver issue.  If you opted the latest device driver like I did, and this still happens, I'd say it is a driver issue. However, when I made a presentation to day, it automatically switch to the proper "Duplicate setting" screen option. So perhaps yours is an intermittent problem.
Go to control Panel, Power Options, then Click on Windows Mobility Center at the bottom of the page. You will displays and toggles for External displays and for presenter mode right there. Click those to see if you get any changes. You can see if your computer thinks a second screen is attached or not, and it you are in projection mode or not. 
Does the computer go back to normal after disengaging the HDMI? If so, set it to duplicate screens and then re-connect it, if the screen goes dark there must be another setting that is off.
If you are using the WiDi software that might also be the culprit, check those settings. Hope this helps in some way.
I discovered on mine that I could run a Powerpoint presentation fine, but when I try to switch over into presenting a movie clip or website, it would only show my screen saver. I still needed to use the Win-P or Cntrl-F7 key toggle to send the signal for those applications. Just seems weird, it just an idiosyncrasy I gather.

  • Iphone 5s black screen with Voice Over On

    I turned on Voice Over on my iphone 5s and it started to repeat everything, so I had to punch 2 or 3 times some commands in order to go back and suddenly my screen blacked out. I have tried to restart the iPhone and can see the silver apple, but again I can hear the commands (I can still hear all the commands (Voice Over On, Screen Curtain On, 8:45, Screen Locked) but can’t see anything on the screen. Please help!

    Hello promomap,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Voice Over.  Try turning off the Screen Curtain by triple tapping the screen with three fingers.
    Additionally, you can turn Voice Over off completely using these steps:
    Press the home button three times quickly. This is also called "Triple-click Home".
    If the VoiceOver feature still is on, you can navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off here.
    If it is too difficult to access those settings on your iPhone, you can turn VoiceOver off using iTunes:
    Managing accessibility features using iTunes
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device.
    From the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
    Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.

  • Gnome Black Screen with Mouse Cursor after Login

    I am using Archlinux 64bit with a Gnome Desktop Environment. Everything was running normally uptill today. When i ran "sudo fc-cache", my system froze. I couldnt open any other app but i was able to access terminal. I restarted using "reboot" command. After that I was unable to log in to my desktop.
    The Gnome login screen comes and after entering the correct username and password, all I can see is a black screen with mouse cursor. I then started gnome manually with "startx" and it worked. But still I am unable to use normally (that is the graphical login). I reinstalled gdm but it didnt work. Please help me out.

  • Black Screen with Cursor (Tried most solutions)

    To save your time and mine, I’ve tried all options in “press f8” and “recovery disk”. Over the past 3 days, I read almost all threads, videos, articles, and official MS help containing any mention of this problem. I also applied many commands, created few
    “SystemRescue CDs” and “Kaspersky Rescue 10” on a usb drive. I follow instructions very well, and have never been stumped by a windows problem like this before. If someone solves this, you are a wizard!
    Nothing has worked so far, but I really want to figure this out and not ‘reinstall’. It appears to be a simple and popular problem: “Right after Win 7 boot Logo, I get black screen with white mouse cursor,
    no matter if I boot in safe mode, last good configuration, or normal startup”, but all the solutions that worked for most people are not working for me.
    TL;DR: (answers to any of the 7 questions in the end will help me out)
    Custom System: Win 7 64 bit (updated consistently), 4gb ram, Quad Core 2.66, 64GB SSD (Crucial M4) and 4 hard other drives. Only windows installations/updates have been installed onto the SSD, no other programs. Only 1 OS has ever been installed
    on this computer. Never dual booted.
    Mobo: Asus Maximus Formula. GPU: AMD HD7870LE
    2014-04-19
    I haven’t installed or downloaded any programs in the past 3 weeks, and did not notice anything unusual up until this incident.
    In the morning the computer went into hibernation because I was away, it couldn’t wake up (usually happens), so I turned off the power supply. Turned it back on, and computer resumed, I was concerned as it may have run out of hard drive space on my 64GB
    SSD (4GB free), but it booted fine.
    Later during the day, I decided to restart the computer, and as it booted up again, it went into “start up repair”. I let it run and restart, and it arrived at the dreaded Black screen with mouse cursor, of death, right before logon screen.
    Symptoms while on this black screen.
    Ctrl alt del doesn’t work, power off doesn’t work, cursor can move, pressing ‘shift’ many times doesn’t bring up the ‘sticky key’. No task manager.
    Hard drive is not loading anything, just idle.
    Computer falls asleep after 15 minutes or so, and can wake up back to this black screen, so it remembers my power settings
    Safe mode loads the drivers fine, but also gets stuck on the same ‘black screen with cursor’ forever
    I tried every option in the ‘advanced boot’, including ‘safe with command prompt, safe with networking, last known configuration, etc’
    Last known configuration, and all of the above, all boots to ‘black screen with cursor’, this means windows believed it booted fine the last time, so it remembered this configuration. That’s because all the drivers loaded without issue. While loading
    Safe Mode, I can see windows loading all the drivers ok.
    No restore or backups (I know, I do not deserve to live, lesson learned)
    I tried all applicable functions from the ‘recovery cd command prompt’, bcdedit, bootrec, diskpart, and still couldn’t get it to boot.
    Commands applied in Elevated Command Prompt from Installation DVD: (very careful with backups and overwriting)
    Diskpart -> list volume, tells me that 100mb is system reserved, the other 59GB has no label, and is a different partition
    Bootrec -> scanos, tells me that I have 0 windows installations, used fixboot, /fixmbr, /rebuildmbr, all successful. Mounting the drive later on RescueDisk’s TestDisk shows no problems with either partition.
    BCDedit: shows both boot manager and winloader to be on the same drive, and I referenced it with a typical BCDedit enum output, and nothing is out of place.
    I went into Regedit by typing “regedit” in command prompt in Win7 recovery cd, and confimed that ‘Shell=explorer.exe’ under:
    HKEY_local machine/software/microsoft/WindowsNT/Currentversion/winlogon.
    Sfc /scannow couldn’t run due to “Pending repairs/restart”
    So I used: SFC.EXE /scannow /offbootdir=c:\  /offwindir=c:\windows
    Which ran and repaired some errors the first time. I ran it more just to make sure, with restarts in between, it gave me
    Win resource protection did not find any integrity violations.
    So the system files appears to be fine and not corrupted.
    Bootrec /scanos does not detect any windows installations. “0 Windows installations identified”, yet “Diskpart -> Detail Disk” and bcdedit both detects the windows directory.
    From windows recovery disk:
    Startup Repair diagnosis: (Show Details)
    All tests completed successfully
    Boot status indicates that the OS booted successfully
    It seems that the system and the OS boots successfully, and windows believes it boots successfully (that’s why last know good configuration gives me the black screen also, and Win Startup Diagnosis all says it booted successfully”
    It’s the second before it enters into the logon screen, the black screen and movable cursor appears, and hangs here forever. What programs load during this step, and how can I find out this info? Is there a diagnosis tool that allows me to see the programs
    as they load during windows start up?
    Other attempts:
    Then I read it could be windows using “winresume.exe” instead of winloader.exe, since I have “hiberfil.sys” in C:\windows, so I backed it up and deleted it using SystemRescue.
    Another thread said “winevt” bad logs, in C:\windows\system32\winevt were causing this black screen, so I backed it up and deleted that also, and it still won’t boot.
    I plugged in the devices that were attached (just 1 ext hard drive, through a 10 port usb hub) that was connected while it went into hibernation on April 19th, and it didn’t help.
    The files on that disk and the file system is not corrupt; I tested it by taking it out and docking it on a usb Blax Duet, and my laptop did a scan disc, and it’s fine. The Sfc Scan also shows that it is ok.
    I also unplugged all the other sata drives, switched the SSD sata cable around to other sata ports to no prevail.
    So far I know:
    Very unlikely that it’s a virus problem, I haven’t installed or downloaded anything this month, scans from Kaspersky 10 rescue disk shows nothing, Farbar scan shows nothing. I also never install anything suspicious, like toolbars or junk. I scan regularily.
    Not a driver problem, since I haven’t changed or updated anything. I unplugged all devices, and starting in 640x480 mode also gives the black screen with cursor. Drivers all loaded fine while starting windows and safe mode
    Boot files are intact, windows system files are in the right place since windows actually boots into a shell? Both bootloader and boot manager show up in bcdedit enum scans
    Not due to system file corruption, since file integrity are confirmed ok by above CMD commands, and windows diagnostic tool, and testdisk.
    My questions:
    What could be the cause of this? I didn’t make any changes to BIOS, windows settings, perform any updates, suspicious activities, installations, or crashes, before this. The files on that disk and the file system are not corrupt either, I tested it by
    taking it out and docking it on a usb Blax Duet, and my laptop did a scan disc, and it’s fine.
    Which program (classpnp.sys? explorer.exe? winlogon.exe?) is being loaded right before “windows logon screen” that would cause it to hang with a black background and cursor?
    How can I find out this information? Is there a tool that can record all programs that are being loaded by windows at boot?
    I only have access to regedit, elevated command prompt, and I can change files through SystemRescue or Kaspersky recue, how can I get the computer to boot past that black screen with a mouse cursor? The answer seems so close.
    From the Rescue Disks, what could I really do to get past the black screen?
    Those who are computer technicians could tell me: If I take it to a computer shop or technician, what could they do in a situation like this aside from all of the above? Do they have some ‘next level’ access tools or are they just going to waste my time
    and tell me I have to reinstall?
    At the very worst, I will obviously reintall. On my 64gb SSD, I didn’t install any important softwares. All my important software installations are on a separate drive. However, will they still work if I did a ‘Inplace Upgrade’ install of windows? Does
    registry get wiped?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to take startup repair when booting with the rescue disk?
    Startup Repair
    And we'd better bring the PC to the vendors, then take an examination of the hardware health.
    How does the Bootrec /scanos show 0 installation identified? We may take a try with chkdsk from command line to check if there are any disk errors:
    Run Check Disk from a Command Line to Check for and fix Disk Errors
    Please also take a check if the system reserved partition is stay in health:
    Understand (and Get Rid of) the Mysterious Small Partition
    Another shoot, please try to rebuild BCD:
    Use Bootrec.exe in the Windows RE to troubleshoot startup issues
    Regarding the repair install, detailed information please take a check with the article below:
    How to do a repair install to fix Windows 7
    Hope this may help
    Best regards

    Did you read his post at all as it does not look like it.
    As to take it to a vendor "Custom System:"" Win 7 64 bit (updated consistently), 4gb ram, Quad Core 2.66, 64GB SSD (Crucial M4) and 4 hard other drives. Only windows installations/updates have been installed onto the SSD,
    no other programs. Only 1 OS has ever been installed on this computer. Never dual booted."
    As to your other suggestions he has tried them all as have thousands of us out here , all you have to do is search the internet  and you see millions of hits about this.
    And glad to see a moderator can mark a non answer as an answer.

  • GS70 - Does not boot - black screen with solid white dash

    Sorry for the long post - I've been beating my head against this problem all day, filed a report ticket and really need help from anyone who has ideas.
    Yesterday evening after finally relenting and allowing the patch Tuesday updates to install on my GS70 Stealth I tried to power on my computer and it remained stuck at the MSI logo. I waited 3 hours with no success before powering it off and attempting to access the bios by hitting the delete button. The screen turned black except for one non-blinking white dash near the center of the screen. This screen also remains indefinitely and requires a hardware power off to work. I've tried all of the function key presses and recovery shortcuts to no avail.
    Eventually I tried to boot into linux via a live USB. I still could not access the bios but, to my surprise, so long as this USB is in my system, Windows happily boots. After this I tried to revert to a system restore point before the updates but that did not resolve the problem. I also tried to update the BIOS but there is no way to install BIOS updates that I know of that doesn't require accessing the old BIOS first (which I cannot do because the black screen with a white dash is still all that shows up). I tried forcing the UEFI bios to load through windows recovery settings with no luck either.
    I've sent in an RMA/Support request and hopefully MSI will repair or replace my device but I sent it in for an RMA literally less than two months ago and to be having to do it again so soon is starting to turn me off of the product. For me to insure and ship my device to MSI costs a little over $100 each time which is rapidly turning this $1600 product into an $1800 one and turning me from an MSI brand loyalist to a 'one-star-review everywhere' evangelist. Is it possible that something MSI did during the last RMA screwed up my motherboard (they replaced the disfunctional steel series keyboard with a new marginally more functional steel series keyboard)? Does MSI ever cover the shipping costs for an RMA if the RMA is a result of damage that they caused to the device? Is there anything I should do to try to avoid burning more money trying to get a luxury-priced product I've already paid for to function?

    i had similar problem myself on my first GS70 it has some sort of bios problem that it random hangs itself :/ causes OS not to boot and bios refuses to load but i managed to get my recovery USB to boot but not bios yet so i sent laptop off for repair they replaced the motherboard so i got it back then i had an faulty gpu :/ so i took it back and got money back so i bought new one some where else since than i havent had problem so this sort of problem sounds like bios firmware isnt booting propertly :/ so have you tried removing msata and HDD from laptop and then power laptop on? to see if bios gets forced on if so power it off put msata back on and so then power laptop back on and bios shall work again

  • Black screen with "Insert boot disk"

    Hi, there everyone!
    So here's the epilogue to my story.
    I wanted to install Windows 7 on my late 2011 MBP running Lion. Went to Bootcamp to get the process done, as I get there I see that I'm lacking the option to make a start up disk on a usb, so I looked up ways to change that. After many days of searching and trying I stumbled upon the option to change coding on  the info.plist file inside the package contents of Bootcamp. When I was done changing a few things (as directed to online) Bootcamp then no longer would open, only bounce on the dock then close. I tried turning back the clock with Time Machine with no avail. I was left with an error built into the system, and thus forcing me to upgrade to Mavericks.
    Now my current issue:
    After upgrading, I once again tried to change BC to allow me to use a USB instead of a DVD to install Windows. Once again, desperately, I changed the info.plist in Bootcamp (leaving an original copy of the file, and changing the duplicate) in order to do so. This time with success!
    After already having saved the "latest Windows support software from Apple" from when I was on Lion, I skipped this step and proceeded to transfer the .iso file I had to the usb thumb drive. Successful!
    From there, I then went on to partition 35 GB of space on my HD to windows and just let the magic happen!
    Only (this is were the real question comes in) when the system restarted, post-partition, I was left with (as the title says) the black screen with "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
    So my question is: Where is the "any" key???
    Haha sorry about that, just had to!
    But in all seriousness, I was left with the Boot screen and my usb drive sticking out of it containing the file needed to boot Windows 7.
    I've tried everything I possibly could:
    Restarting on mac, ejecting USB, then sticking it in when the boot screen comes up.
    Putting the .iso on a DVD and trying it the original way.
    Restarting with no DVD or USB in then placing them in after the boot screen.
    Even restoring my partition, repartitioning the HD, and then re-installing the .iso file on the thumb drive once more all over again in an attempt to get it working.
    All with no luck.
    I've been scouring all over the internet looking for the solution for days to this problem before I took it upon myself to ask the community.
    If anyone can offer any insight to what else is left for me to try with Bootcamp would be immensely, appreciated!
    If worst comes to worst I may be forced to try Parallels or VMWare Fusion to get Windows 7 running on Mac, but I would much rather have Windows running independently on my Mac for games, rather than having a Virtual Machine slow down the gaming experience.
    Thank you!
    (P.S. And sorry about the length!)

    So, I decided to restore my Mac into factory settings?
    If you want to do that, you have to boot the Mac from your Mac OS X Install disc by inserting the disc, then restart while holding down the 'C' key until you see the Apple logo. Then you choose your language (English) and let the installer do it's thing.
    To remove a CD that failed to eject, you startup the Mac while holding down the mouse button (trackpad button on a laptop) until the drive ejects.
    So, I tried boot camp.
    Don't do that. Boot Camp has nothing to do with this; it's for running Windows on your Mac.
    I tried to press the on button, to try and force shut down - failed.
    You have to hold it for about 6 seconds for it to shutdown. Did you do that?
    I tried pressing the Option key, which I assume is the key with the alt on it, right??
    Why would you need the Option key for this?

  • I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

    I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • C655D 5210 tosiba black screen with mouse pointer

    I have only had this computer for 8 months. One day I turned it on, and windows kept restarting. After a few trouble shooting steps off the internet, I decided to reinstall windows 7 and lose my data and start all over. The first time it could not repair the computer and asked me to send the information to microsoft. Cannot boot in safe mode, I can get to the setup utility screen. This is a new Windows 7 cd. After several tries, it installed and said it had to restart, (this may happen several times) it only restarted once, then a black screen with a cursor. When I try to boot from the cd, the windows logo apppears, then a black screen with mouse pointer again. Toshiba is no help at all. This is my third Toshiba laptop. The first one did the same thing. But it was out of warranty, the amount they wanted to charge us, i just got another one. My mom's Toshiba just died with no real reason, the old one is in the garbage, and this one is only 8 months old. Toshiba would like us to send the computer in, pay for shipping, wait for 3 weeks, pay to ship it back to us, with a promise that it may not work.

    ok, so I think I have foud a solution that works for me.
    I created this file and added the following lines
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
        Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
            Driver      "intel"
            Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
          EndSection
    I have shutdown 3 times and it has booted to the desktop everytime. When I remove this file and go back to sna it reproduces the error of the black screen.

  • Xorg-server 1.6 - black screen with mouse cursor

    Hi
    First of all: I'm really new to Arch, so maybe there is a real easy fix for this problem
    Since upgrading to xorg-server 1.6 (and today to 1.6.1) I'm not able to get a running Desktop Environment.
    Usually I am using gnome with compiz-fusion on my Geforce 4 (nvidia-96xx 96.43.11-4 driver).
    When I boot my machine i see gdm and I am able to login. I can hear my login sound but I only get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
    I added a new test user to my system without compiz and get the same.
    I tried my old xorg.conf from 1.5, generated a new one with X -configure and tried without xorg.conf but everytime the same
    Actually I'm not sure if the xorg update is responsible for this, because i did not watch the upgrade-process....
    I googled this problem and was searching similar things in this froum, but I wasn't able to find something
    Here are some files

    I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?

  • Server 2008 crash - black screen with mouse cursor

    dell poweredge 2950 with Perc 5/I RAID, ESXi 4.1 host, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM
    After swapping out a failed raid5 drive this vm began displaying inpage operation error popups while checking folder permissions.  event viewer errors: 
    The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume2.
     The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.
    chkdsk /r run from the win2k8r2sp1 install dvd command line resulted in more corrections than i was able to screenshot:
    After this the server would only boot to black screen with mouse cursor.  same black screen result in safe mode or directory services restore mode.  sfc /scannow, startrep, and registry repair from the folder contents @ c:\windows\system32\config\regback
    have been attempted with no improvement.  I am still able to access the filesystem contents using the command line from the win2k8r2sp1 installation DVD -  user + registry files copied over to another drive without problem and i was able to load
    the registry hive on another system.  This server was doing dns, domain controller and certification authority but the only important item is getting the CA back somehow.  Any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi,
    According the information you have provided, the file system is broken.
    After the repair, do chkdsk /r and sfc /scannow give any warning or error?
    If yes, it means that the file system and system file are not repaired. Please post the error or warning here. It may give some hints.
    Best Regards.

  • Sometimes when I open my laptop back from sleep, I get a black screen with the cursor showing.

    Recently I've been getting this weird problem where my macbook air will show a black screen with only the cursor visible that I can move around but nothing else can be done to get to the desktop. The only way is to close the lid and wait for around 10 or more seconds and then open the lid again to bring the laptop back from sleep and hope that the laptop goes to the lock screen and then to the desktop. This works often but sometimes the only solution seems to be to restart the laptop. This also happens when I tilt the lid to the point where it is almost closed and when I tilt it back the screen presents the above state. Theis has been happening often now and it is almost impossible for the above not to happen atleast 2 to 3 times a day. iThis is a relatively new problem that has been occuring since the past two weeks or so and never happened to me on my Macbook Pro 15 2011. My current system is a Macbook Air 11" 2013 Haswell 1.3 Ghz 4GB RAM 256 GB SSD. Now I dont want to have to send in my laptop if I dont have to if there is a way I can solve this myself. Anybody else have this problem?

    Hello tseten,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Air was not waking from sleep appropriately.  For an issue like this, I recommend resetting your System Management Controller (SMC) and NVRAM.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
