Qosmio: X505-Q890 Black Screen BUT Computer has not crashed

I have a Qosmio: X505-Q890, my screen goes black after a few minutes.  But if you look at it on an angle you can see screen and mouse moving around.  I am assuming that the backlights are going out on screen.  What is the fix.  I am capabale of dissasembling laptop and repairing.  What parts do I need to fix?
Thanks
Greg

It could be either the inverter or the backlight, but it's hard to know for sure. It could also be a loose cable, but that seems less likely to me (although it might be easier to check).

    Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen saying the iphone need to connect to itunes. So when i connect my iphone to iTunes, the computer says"itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes"
    So my question is if I click OK(restore the iphone),will i lose all my data and whatsapp??
    Thank you for your help and time.

    If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Qosmio X875-Q7290 Black Screen of Death

    Hey everyone,
    My dad purchased a Qosmio back in 2012 for work. It's a powerhouse that can pretty much accomplish any job. Here are the specs, and then I'll get into my problem:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit 
    System Model: Qosmio X875
    BIOS: InsydeH2O Version 03.72.306.30
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
    Memory: 16384MB RAM
    Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M
    Display Memory: 4095 MB
    My dad passed shortly after he purchased the laptop so I then took it over and brought it to college with me. There was an incident where my motherboard completely fried and Toshiba fixed it for me. I was extremely greatful and left notes for the staff in my box when it shipped to Toshiba, haha. 
    It's been over a year since that incident and now I have come across another. I'm a heavy gamer and, until 4 days ago, have had a flawless experience. The black screen of death has only emerged recently and seems to be increasing in frequency. 
    Usually this happens when I am gaming, however it has also happened when the computer is simply idle. Everything will be running just fine and suddenly the screen will go black, the keyboard becomes unresponsive, and if there was sound it is stuck in a loop. The only way to remedy the situation is to hard shut down the computer and restart it. 
    Since the first incident I have been diligent in monitoring heat which has never gone over 71c even in my heaviest of game play. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the most current video driver. I have run multiple virus checks, I have cleaned the computer inside and out, defragged the harddrive (Well not really out of the ordinary I do it every wednesday), and have also done general clearing and cleaning of any unnecessary files. 
    Still, no matter what I do, I am getting this Black Screen of Death. I have followed many guides and suggestions which have done nothing. When I reinstalled my video driver I did, atleast, get about 1.5 hours of gameplay which my heart was then crushed because it happened again. 
    I am WELL over my warrenty... And can not afford to take my computer to a profession / send it in to Toshiba. I'm moving soon, as I have just finished college, and have yet to find a job.
    Any advice or questions are welcome. 
    Thanks in advance.

    It's hard to know for sure, but it does sound like a hardware failure that would require servicing. RAM would probably be an easy place to start if you were looking to do hardware troubleshooting yourself.
    As an aside, if you just copy WoW to an external drive and copy it back, it'll work without needing to go through a lengthy install/download process. You'll need to install the Launcher though of course. In fact, D3 works the same way. You might already know that, but it makes it easy to back them up.

  • IBook black screen, worrking computer

    My iBook runs fine, except the screen is black. If I shine a bright light on the screen, I can see the dock, folders, etc., and they all work. The machine does everything it is supposed to do, except the screen is not illuminated. It isn't a matter of angle. I've tried adjusting the brightness, and it neither dims nor lightens. I can put the computer to sleep and it awakens fine, except for the black screen. This has just begun. The computer worked fine this morning. There was no trauma to cause the computer to stop working correctly, nor introduction of new software, although all the software updates from Apple are current. I use it to go online, period. There are no peripherals attached. The battery is fully charged; I use it about half the time with the power cable attached. I checked the energy settings and sleep options. Everything is normal. Can anyone suggest a cause, and a solution, hopefully something simple like a setting needs to be tweeked. I've read other posts in which logic boards and PRAM settings were disussed, but in those instances, it seemed like an issue with sleep or angle. Those don't apply here. Help.

    hi, most likely the problem is the LCD's backlight. Majority of the time is the faulty inverter; which you can buy on Ebay for around $40. The inverter is very sensitive. Handle it only when you properly grounded.

  • Possibly faulty screen (black screen but phone its self still works)

    Device info
    Your carrier:
    Blackberry Torch 9800
    Apps and free space
    I have plenty of free space avaliable as I do not use my phone for anything other than calls/texts/BBM/Pictures (No Music/apps etc), I have an 8GB memory card.
    Basically, My torch was working completely fine untill last night. I left it on the chair in my livingroom in perfect working order, I was sitting beside the phone the whole time. I then went back to check my phone because my red LED was flashing indicating that I had a message. I slid the top half up as usual but the screen was completely black. The keypad lit up and the green call button/blackberry button/back button/red call button all lit up perfectly fine as well. I then pressed the green call button twice and was still able to make a call therefor the handset its self has no battery problem or problem with the OS. Everything on the entire phone works except the screen. I am thinking possible backlight problems or a disconnected screen wire of some sort. The screen its self has not scratches or signs of damage and Im 100% sure I didnt damage the screen. I am just seeking some more knowledge as to what part is more than likely faulty and if it would be a cheap or expensive repair.
    Thank you in advance and any further questions dont hesitate to ask, My torch has served me well for a little bit over a year.
    ******EDIT******
    After a little bit of messing about its clear that the screen infact still works, I messed about sliding the screen up and down using the unlock botton on top and after around 30 seconds of fiddling the screen came on, The screen its self was readable but it did look very weird. So possibly a connector inside ?.

    Yes, even if you've never synced your phone with iTunes ever.
    The only exception is if you've synced to a different computer in the past.

    my ipod touch wont turn on ive tried restoring it but every time i do it just says its waiting for the ipod to respond. meanwhile my ipod is no longer a black screen but the apple logo with a loading bar underneath that after leaving for 8 hours hasnt moved.

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - Another USB port
    - Reboot the computer
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After an iPad update yesterday I sent a video and it is not viewable just black screen but sound is there. I sent it to my windows 7 laptop and there it is not viewable at all the start button appears crossed through.only works on apple PC

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • HT201401 What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power?

    What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power? I have cleared the open icons and it works for one day then shuts down again.

    Software hiccup, glitch or maybe faulty battery. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if this helps. If still problem that you think is serious enough to fix, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen turn solid blue. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Help please!

    Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen display solid blue color. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Opening programs, nor hitting any shortkey makes the display work again, so I have to shut down.
    I am using Macbook pro, OS 10.6.8, 4 GB memory, 2 ghz intel processors i7. This has happened about 6 times in the last 3 months. Seems to be getting more frequent. Sometimes happens after using Netflix streaming video, sometimes after browsing sites that don't play video. I frequently use Pandora, but have Firefox set to dump cache, memory, etc. after each use.

    Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
    If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage.  If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash.

  • Sending videos from iphone 4s to pc. Why do I get black screen but have sound

    Sending videos from iphone 4s to pc.  Why do I get black screen but have sound?

    Ok I checked and unchecked the playback via camera yesterday and I got black screen both times.
    I could delete the imovie prefs when I go over there today.
    I'll try another FW cable but it worked perfectly for importing but what the heck I've got one I'll try it.
    Yes camera was set to play and not record.
    Plenty of free space -- 131 GB.
    I'm pretty sure it's in NTSC DV format, but it's someone else's computer so it could have been changed by someone screwin' around not knowing what they're doing making changes.

  • IPhone 6 black screen but works

    After getting to work, I come to find out that my iPhone 6 has a black screen. Before that time, it worked just fine until I took it out of my pocket later this morning. The phone shows a black screen, but the buttons still work (the mute switch works; every time I mute it the phone vibrates). I tried connecting it to iTunes and it shows the phone. I assume that the screen has been bricked. I previously had a time where my phone was covered in rain water. That also explain why I have been experiencing crashes on my phone which led me to doing a hard restart. I have the choice of taking it back to my carrier as I'm still under warranty or I can try find out and fix this bug myself.
    Any Suggestions?
    Many thanks
    iPhone 6 running the latest iOS

    IIf you did a reset and screen remained black then it's a hardware issue, not a bug. You should return it under warranty if you still can. Any other attemp to fix on your own is probably going to void your warranty.
