Screen partly black
Sorry, if I should be using the wrong forum - I have this problem:
My CTR monitor (Hyundai 5870) will be only partly displaying the screen. Depending on the resulution a portion of the right side of the screen will be black - up to almost half the screen at 800x600, much less at 1024x768, but still noticeable. Lower refresh rate increases the black area.
Changing the settings on the monitor doesn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jörg
This sounds like a problem inside your display.
The signals used to run the display are Red, Green, and Blue row data [intensity], and two timing signals: Horizontal Sync and Vertical Sync. Horizontal Sync tells the display hardware when one row of dots starts and ends. Vertical Sync tells the display hardware when all the rows have been presented, and the entire screen is complete, and it should go back to the top and start over. The entire screen is re-drawn about 50 to 150 times each second.
If the dark right side is a straight line, it indicates a display problem. The rest of the data on each row may be being drawn is a squashed space.
If the right side is very wiggly, it may be a problem with the Horizontal Sync signal from the display card, through the cables, to the display.

Sometime it takes a little while for the water to damage the iPod. -
I dropped my MacBook pro on the floor around 1 meter height, it landed on its bottom part, the lid was closed but it was on. When I opened it the screen was black and I could hear the fan sound. I restarted it and it took around 8 minutes to start!! Every thing became very slow and freezing all the time, I'm trying to back it up but it's freezing every time! The two fingers tap is not working also :(
Does this mean that the hard drive is damaged or just needs to be fixed in its place properly?
Please help.
Thank youSomething broke. Accidental damage is not covered under Apple's warranty.
It could be just a couple of connecter knocked loose, or the logic board could be cracked.
Take it to Genius Bar to find out, and pray for loose connectors.
Good luck. -

thanking you for reading this,
lovelifesmilepeacewow blue screen of death that sounds bad...
Technically they're called STOP messages (because the PC stops after you get one of them). But "blue screen of death" (or BSOD) is the common terminology (because the PC stops after you get one of them).
C:\DOCUME~1\Abigail\LOCALS~1\Temp\\WERfd36.dir00\Mini012710-01.dmp
Good ... we've got the PC generating minidumps of the crashes. So we'll be able to interrogate those using Windows debugging tools to try to work out what is causing the crash.
First, track down where they are being stored on the PC. Usually that will be in the C:\Windows\Minidump\ directory. There should be files in there with names like "Mini(number-numbers).dmp"
(If you have "Hide filename extensions for known file types" enabled in Windows, the ".dmp" extension may not appear on the dump files. The numbers in the file name will be different for each minidump, if minidumps are present.)
Once you've found where they're being stored, we'll have a look at them using windbg.
1. Download and install the Windows debugging tools from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
2. Go to Start, All Programs, Debugging Tools For Windows, Windbg
Once you open Windbg, you will presented with a blank screen.
3. Click on "File > Symbol File Path". Here you will enter the symbols
path. Symbols are needed to effectively debug.
The path will be:
SRVc:symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
4. Enter in this path and click OK. Now, go to "File > Save Workspace"
so that your symbols path is saved for future use.
5. Go to "File > Open Crash Dump" and load the file.
(An "Open Crash Dump" screen will appear ... doubleclick "My Computer", doubleclick "Local Disk", doubleclick "Windows", doubleclick "Minidump", and doubleclick on one of the minidumps in there.)
You will/should get a message to save base workspace information. Choose no.
Now you will get a debugging screen. It takes a little bit to run it,
as the symbols have to be downloaded as they are needed.
After the "bugcheck analysis" part of the screen comes up, look for the component that seems to be causing the crash. (It'll say "Probably caused by" ...)
Let us know the precise name of the component. (Include any file name extensions like .dll or .sys.)
If you can, have a look at several of your crash dumps. Are all the crashes being caused by the same component? If not, could you let us know the names of the various components being cited in the various crash dumps? -
Screen goes black and I get steady beeps
I have a 2004 HP Pavilion a600n, AMD processor with Window XP SP3 and 1 gb of ram. I have no viruses or spyware due to running McAfee, Malwarebytes, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, and Advanced System care.
My pc starts fine, but after about an hour, the screen goes black, and I get a series of steady beeps about a second long. There are no short, long beeps. Just steady short beeps and a black screen.
I am forced to shut down via the power button. When I try to restart, the beeping occurs again, and the monitor light remains orange.
I will let my pc sit for a day or two, and I can start it back up, the monitor light is green then, but after an hour, the whole process starts over.
I have no way of knowing if it's ram, video, or fans. My video is built into the motherboard.
I will run PC Doctor and clean the dust out of the fans, etc.
But I do not have a lot of money to just randomly go about replacing parts. Does anyone have any idea what is the most likely culprit?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Satellite L405D-11V - Freezes and screen goes black when watching video
Ok, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I have had a fault, basically, the computer would freeze at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still going, this could be on start-up, or a few hours into using the laptop, so I decided to ring up Toshiba's tech support and they arranged for my laptop to be collected and sent off for repairs.
I was able to track the repairs online through the tracking service, and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, it said that they ordered a part, it was in progress and the repairs were finished.
However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, everything is fine, I start using the laptop everything is fine, then I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so, I power off holding down the power button, hoping it was just a one off, I turn it back on, and load up the video again, it freezes and the screen goes black again, after working out that when ever I watch a video or play a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze like before the repairs. So there is still a fault, but im not sure what to do
Its still under warranty, I purchased the laptop from Comet, but I dont really want to send the laptop off for repairs again and to find it will come back with the same fault, is it worth sending it off again, perhaps seeing if comet will replace the laptop as its still under a year of buying the laptop, or is it just gonna be worth saving all the hassle and buying a new laptop? If this fault has happened to anyone else, I could sure use some help, and if someone could shed a little light as to what might be wrong?
ThanksHi buddy,
Did you change something on configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? Did you update a driver or something else?
What operating system you are using on your Satellite L405D?
To be honest its really hard to say why it happens because the technicians test everything to check if your notebook runs properly.
In my opinion you should try updating the display driver. Maybe its causing the issue
If not I would recommend installing Windows from Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings. These settings are pretested by Toshiba and should work.
If you still have the problem you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the repair online and according your posting everything worked well during repair so in my opinion it shouldnt be a problem to contact the guys exactly.
Explain your problem very detailed. I think everything can be clarified then. :) -
Satellite A200 screen stays black when trying to boot
Hello everyone,
My Toshiba Satellite A200 notebook is not working anymore, so everything started when I was playing a game, suddenly, the screen turned blue with some tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button a few seconds to close it because nothing was happening on the computer. I then pressed the power button to open it. Everthing was going well, until the welcome screen. At this part, it was written "Welcome" but the Vista loading circle left of it wasn't turning.
After a few seconds, I decided to close the computer again, so I did hold the power button so the computer closed. Here is the problem : I tried to reopen it, but the screen stayed black. Nothing was happening. The power light was blue, but not any computer activity. So I let it like that a few minutes then closed it and tried again, but the same thing happened. I tried to disassemble it and noticed one of the two memory card wasn't fully in its slot. I fixed it, but it didn't fix the problem.
I also tried to plug another screen on it, but that one was also black. So I put back the screen on its computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. It was booting, but the first problem came back, the Welcome screen was frooze there. So yes I did close it again and then the same thing happened, the screen stayed black.
I don't think the problem is the screen because as I said sometime it goes to the welcome screen. Also I don't hear any welcome sound when the screen stays black as if the computer would simply not start up. And as I said earlier, I don't see any computer activity on the little light in front of the computer. And left of this one, I clearly see that the computer is ON because the power light is blue.
So this is my problem, next time the computer manages to start up I'll try to boot it on the SAFE MODE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.
Thanks in advance,
MrRoy
EDIT :
After letting the computer turned off for about 30 minutes, I started it, and booted in safe mode. At this step, I securely closed my comptuer with the shut down button instead on holding the power button. Then I reopened my computer, and it booted and the problem was fixed. Now my notebook is openened and working.
So if this is happening to you :
1. Shut down you computer.
2. Wait for about 30 minutes.
3. Boot in safe mode
4. Shut it down using the shut down button istead off holding the power button.
That should work.Finally, it doesn't work. I don't know why but my computer did start up after the 30 minutes, but now it's not working anymore. It just won't startup like I said later, with a black screen.
The computer did work for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start it up but after executing a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart it. I did it about 3 or 4 times, then it simply did the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe it's damaged or something, could it be possible?
Because I see that the processor isn't working when I try to start it up.
So let's say it's damaged, would that be the symptoms of my computer?
And if it's the processor, the only way to fix it is to send it to a reparator or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.
But right now, my computer is simply not booting, like I said in my previous post.
Thanks in advance,
MrRoy

How do i fix my itouch. the screen is black but it still responds to touch
How do i fix my itouch. the screen is black but it still responds to touch
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Model : Macbook 2008
Symptoms: The screen was, intermittently, going black last year and then went black completely. I have been using it on a monitor ever since.
I can see the screen with a flashlight.
I completely erased the drive and loaded OSx 10.7. I believe that's the last version of OSx Mac will be supporting on this computer.
When I booted up the computer this morning the screen came on !
While typing this question, my screen went black again, not to return.
So sad.
I did bring it to Apple and they believed the entire screen needed to be replaced.
They say that they tried a new inverter and it didn't work.
I have a feeling I'm just out of luck unless I want to cough up the $300 to fix the screen.
Although it is a solid machine, 2Ghz processor with 4 gigs of ram, it is still six years old.
I imagine that's like putting a new transmission in a 95 Honda civic. Yeah, it's a reliable car but it's old and it's probably going to break again.
I love my mac so much but I can't justify buying a new one or paying to fix this old one.
I have a Gateway dual booting Windows 7 and ubuntu linux that's actually pretty slick and has taken it's place on business trips and coffee shop excursions.
If anyone has any thoughts or feedback I'd appreciate it.The current Apple hardware warranty provides the following coverage for replacement parts:
A replacementpart or product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance withinstructions provided by Apple, assumes the remaining warranty of the Apple Product orninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coveragefor you.
Check your particular warranty and see where you stand as to the period of coverage.
Good luck,

Laptop starts up but screen is black(doesn't happen all the time) PLEASE HELP
I own a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5966. It's 4 years old and for the most part I haven't had any problems up until recently. The first problem was it started to say "battery not detected" and saying my battery was in poor health and to replace it. Well I did replace it but it still continues to say not detected, but that is the least of my worries. I will say my AC adapter isn't the original as I had to replace that about 2 years ago.
One day while using my laptop, the screen just went completely black. I turned it off and tried to turn it on and nothing. Looked up some stuff on Google which said to clean out the dust, which I did. I also took the battery out and held down the power for 60 seconds. Well after doing that it seemed to work fine until the screen went black again. I did it again and it seemed to work. But sometimes when I turn the computer off, and try to turn it on, I can here it come on but screen stays black. If I wait a while it will work though.
Well it keeps doing this on and off. Other issues I have had is 2 times a blue screen came up. Once it was too quick to read but another I did have a chance to read it and it said something about "APC_INDEX_MISMATCH." Also about 2-3 time I've gotten a screen that said "Interactive Services Detection- The program is no longer requesting attention...." while online but I can always hit "return now" and everything is good. And then recently when I went to turn my laptop on a screen came up saying "Windows loading screen" but it froze up and never loaded anything so I had to hit the power button to restart.
I know it's not good to hit the power button to restart but it's the only way I can get it to turn off because whenever the screen is black or on the blue screen, the keyboard doesn't work at all. I would like to mention sometimes I have to restart because the keyboard will freeze up and nothing will work. The keyboard is brand new, I just recently replaced it but I know I installed it correctly. Everything else is also correctly in place as well.
I've ran anti-virus and malware scanners both in safe mode and not. Everything says it's good and shows no viruses or anything. I also did a memory diagnostics and it too came back good. I didn once mess with the toshiba diagnostics and it said my harddrive failed but I read on Google that the Toshiba diagnostics tool isn't reliable and many get a harddrive failure when it's not the case.
I would really like to know what could be wrong with my laptop. I haven't took it anywhere to be looked at because I don't want to pay $50 to find out it will cost $300 to fix. I'd much rather see if I can find out what's wrong online before having to take it anywhere.gottarace wrote:

New Drive installed. disc get here. reset to day via disc. Started up ran good for about 3 days. BLUE screen.... reboot all was good. Then it started to happen more often.. Now about a Month later. The display will just go black. you have to let it set hours with battery out and power cord off. reboot all is good. NOW display won't come on. hit power it clicks and fan comes on and nothing. Hooked up to ext did the FN F5 and still nothing. I put the olg drive back in. it would at least light the screen. Nothing.. Anybody have any ideas???
Thanks all...

In the future if you could, just start your own thread just to make things easier to keep track of. If you did and didn't get a reply (wait at least a few days), then you can bump so it goes back to the top. OK, sermon over
When you get a blue screen, what was the error message. One of the first things I do when I get a computer is go into the settings and disable the restart on system failure so it doesn't go into a boot loop and I can read the error message. I don't know why that is set that way on default.
If you hooked up the computer to an external display and still not getting anything, then it suggests its not a bad display.
Can you get into the bios? Can you access the recovery partition? If you have another working computer available, can you connect your new and/or old drive and do a diagnostics on to see if there are any errors? Besides the new hard drive, have you done anything else to the computer like upgrade ram, etc? You can also try and reseat the ram.
If you can get to the recovery partition, you can try a system repair. Of course this will only work if the problem is software. If it is a hardware issue, you have to try and isolate it (i.e., drive, ram, battery, etc.).

Yesterday upon startup for the first time the screen went black. Had to do a force shutdown. Unplugged all external devices. Reset everything as well. Slowly checked everything was on the phone with Apple even during the process. Seemed to correct the issue. Then of course I get off the phone, restarted my computer and it goes black randomly again.
Rebooted fine. Checked all my hard disks internal and external, verified and repaired permissions on main drive and clone. Since then nothing yet...But I still feel its either the Video Card or the Monitor as everything else is fully operational.
I plan on taking it in to look at as my applecare is up in November but I cant point my finger on it. And really am trying to avoid lugging the mac pro and monitor in at the same time...(Not the easiest thing with lack of parking in nyc..)
If the display was dying I feel like it would have konked out already.
The funny thing is I have had to replace video cards and monitors in the past but this time I cant quite figure out what the **** is going on.
I am leaning towards the video card as I noticed it flickered a little when opening plug in windows in pro tools or multiple windows in sfari but it doesnt make sense.
Worst part is I cant do a hardware test cause for some reason this computer doesnt have the software installed. It does nothing when I hold down the D button...
I totally baffled but the randomness of this. -
Screen turns black while I'm working
My screen turns black, almost like it's going to sleep right when I'm in the middle of typing, searching the web; basically doing anything active...
My screensaver and sleep settings are in the proper positions, so I don't think this should be happening...
hmmm....
any ideas?Black screens are the curse of the iBooks. Search for "black screen" or screen flickering" to find many others with similar problems. There are a few possible causes, but the most common is probably the reed switch. This is the switch that puts your computer to sleep when you close the lid. Unfortunately, extremely delicate wires + a display hinge opening and closing all the time = crazy problems.
Signs you have a reed switch problem:
- your screen may flicker in brightness randomly.
- it goes black more often when the display angle or laptop is moved.
- after it goes black you can still faintly see the screen, or when you connect an external display it works fine.
- you can put the laptop to sleep and wake it to temporarily bring the display back to life.
To fix the reed switch problem:
- take it back to Apple if you're under warranty. If you can't get the problem to happen at the Genius Bar, tell them about the problems you've been having and insist that they fix it anyway. This is way too common a problem for them to blow you off easily.
- if you're not under warranty, you can pay Apple or some other Mac shop to fix it. I have no idea how much this costs, but probably at least a few hundred.
- if you're not under warranty and you're brave/poor enough that you want to fix it yourself it is possible (I just did it myself last week). While there's nothing about the repair that takes special knowledge, it is a very detailed and arduous process. There are dozens of screws and parts that need to be removed in a very specific sequence. It took me about 5 hours start to finish (though I also replaced the hard drive) and I ended up with a few "extra" pieces that didn't make it back in despite being very careful. On the plus side, the reed switch itself is only about $25 and is available from places like Smalldog.
If you do decide to fix it yourself, do youself a favor and download the guides from ifixit.com. If you google around, you can probably also find the actual Apple repair manual (which is even better), but ifixit.com has great screw guides to keep track of everything.
One last thing - I originally had the reed switch problem under warranty and Apple fixed it with no problem. Unfortunately, the reed switch problem came back in a couple of months - after the warranty expired. Just a word to the wise if you have this problem and you're considering whether to buy the extended AppleCare policy.

Trouble with mobile site. Displays for a second then screen goes black.
Trouble with mobile site. Displays for a second then screen goes black. Using safari, 4s on Verizon. Example: m.mlb.com/lad/
I hadn't checked the site since January or so, when it worked. It might be related to the Opening Weekend skin they have on the site, but for me, it shows the top part of the page for 3 seconds while it's loading (scrolling down is impossible) and then all of a sudden it turns black, showing nothing. It's that way for every MLB mobile site.
At first:
Two seconds later:
I noticed this on 4/7/12. Does anyone NOT have this problem?

IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?
IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works? What's would be wrong?? I have dropped it and the lower volume button went partly in side the IPod (thats why i had the assisted touch on) and its been working very slowly fore the last week or so. but other then that it was fine.
With the information given, If the screen is completely black even after the reset, it's sounds as a hardware issue
Could be : The battery
The charger
The phone itself
You can narrow these down one by one preferably.
-If you have an extra battery, test it.
-Try another charging cable or another outlet
If neither of those affect it, you can also wipe the phone, but that's pretty much the last last step you should do since it erases everything. Then restoring it. Time varies.
If you are still having trouble, contacting your carrier, the closest Apple Store, or the technical support line for Apple. -
After startup my iMac's screen turns black
My iMac start ups normal. I hear the chime, followed by the apple logo and gears. Then the screen goes black but you can still see the cursor clear as day. I can also turn the brightness up and down, but it is still black. Is there anything I can do to fix it without taking it to the apple store 45 min away? Please help!!!
Will it start more normally if you choose to hold the Shift key down through startup and then you may be able to see the desktop and login...? This would be SafeBoot mode.
If so, then it could be troubleshooted or console utility logs looked into, to see if there is any evidence of system parts not loading properly, or of a hardware issue. Or a graphics problem after the system loads.
SafeBoot starts the computer in a reduced OS X so several items are turned off.
With an AppleCare plan in effect, you should consider making an appointment
with a Genius at the Apple Store, to take the computer in for diagnosis.
Especially if this repeats itself; that would make it easier to prove a point.
Have you used this computer with an external display?
In safeboot mode, if it starts you could check some other things in the system.
However there are keyboard shortcuts on startup that
may be able to troubleshoot past the problem.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
•About reset the NVRAM (so you tried it, more than twice?)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
PS: there may be two things to try:
two workarounds:
Put the computer to sleep (close the lid on a Mac Book (pro) or press the power button quickly on a desktop Mac. After a few seconds of sleeping, wake the computer up again. The login dialog usually appears now.
2. Sometimes you do not want to put the computer to sleep because you do not want to interrupt a task that is running. In this case, press CTRL+SHIFT+EJECT. This keyboard shortcut usually locks the screen. In out case, locking the screen also enables or resets the screen saver, so that the next key press or mouse motion will bring up the login dialog.
Good luck & happy computing!
