Tecra 8200 wont start (blank screen)

Hi.
A friend of mine has asked me to help her with Tecra 8200 her notebook with WinXP/SP1 installed was sluggish. Being a gentleman, Ive accepted a call, and reinstalled WinXP Pro (originally, this model was shipped with Win98SE). Installation went right, but Ive noticed error entries in System Log regarding BIOS ACPI compliance (once, each time upon machine startup). I continued, installed SP1, successfully, but the ACPI problem remained. Everything else was fine (all HW detected, and appropriate (Microsoft/default) drivers installed). I was thinking of checking for a new BIOS release on Toshibas site, but I left BIOS update procedure for some other occasion.
Then, being intrigued with a problem, I have "cleverly" decided to actually test ACPI, so I put notebook in standby. And, that was it: now, machine doesnt want to start! The screen is blank, HDD is not spinning up, CPU fan is silent Power button is operational, but all I get is Power LED lit up Frustrating! I have tried to revive the machine with standard emergency procedure (switching off, and then back on, taking out battery pack, pressing various key combinations to enter BIOS setup) but accomplished NOTHING.
Searching posted notes on this forum, I have come only to one conclusion: "hardware malfunction take your notebook to ASP".
Is there anything else I could try?
Thnks, in advance.

Hi Igor
All you tried was right but if there is no possibility to enter BIOS something is obviously faulty.
Sorry but it can really be some hardware problem.

Tecra 8200 wont boot - Frezzes on WIN XP boot screen

Hi
my 8200 wont boot. It runs for about 10 seconds (gets past the toshiba screen then onto the winxp boot screen and freezes.
Just before it does the screen flickers but then locks up.
any ideas???

Has the laptop worked OK before? If so, what (if anything) has changed since the last time you used it?
Try booting in Safe mode and see if you get to the Desktop. Need to identify if the problem is hardware or software related.
Lots of ways to progress from here and I'm sure others can advise. My initial thought it is some sort of graphics problem - either hardware or driver problem.

IPhone won't start - blank screen

unable to power-up iPhone... blank screen!

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Does it still charge if you use the adapter? If yes, let it charge for 10min, then connect in recovery mode, if resetting did not work. Recovery mode is explained in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

P6N SLI V2 wont boot, blank screen

Hi, Ive just baught on eBay the MSI P6n SLI V2 mobo and i got it unwrapped it carefully as you do, took out my Abit P35 Pro and wacked this new board in (i want SLI so this was the best option with my budget (as the Abit board only supports Crossfire (and at a appalling x4 speed) so ive installed it all and ive put all the wires in following the instructions and it boots up perfectly, making all the normal sounds.
Now heres the problem... i have only 1 G card atm (lending the other out to someone) so i put it in NoN SLI mode, and i jsut get a blank screen. ive tryed other cards, allways a blank screen, and the cards all work in other pcs.
The cards i am trying to put into it are duel Geforce 8800 GT Fatal1es (1gb DDR2) and i have also tryed it with an ATI Radeon X 1860 (or something) but to no avail.
I have flashed the CMOS and tested to see if it was my RAM (Corsair Duel channel 4gb DDR2 800mhz (2x 2gb)
nothing happened...
so am i going to have to get my money back or is there something i havent done???

>> Posting Guide <<
You have not provided enough info to help you. Please provide CPU model and PSU model and amps for +3.3V, +5V & +12V.
"I have flashed the CMOS"
What do you mean by that? You 'cleared CMOS' or 'flashed BIOS'? Two entirely different things.

IPhone 4 wont start. Screen remains blank and buttons are unresponsive unless its connected to mains or PC, when an Apple LOGO appears. Only on mains displays IOS 6, update, connect to iTunes. On connecting to PC just displays apple logo on and off.

Header 1
Header 2
iPhone 4 screen remains blank and only the apple logo appears on and off when connected to mains or PC. Only on mains occasionaly proceeds to display IOS 6 logo and a slide sign to start recovery which proceeds to an instruction to connect to iTunes. Hwever, as soon as disconnected from mains (in order to connect to the PC) screen goes totally blank again. On connecting to PC the Apple LOGO starts appearing intermittently but does not proceed to display IOS 6 LOGO. I have recharged overnight and followed resetting instructions as per the iPhone support page. Any suggestions (short of taking it to a service centre) ?

did you get any help regarding the problem?? because even i have the same problem!!! guess it all started after updating to iOs 6

MBP 2,16ghz: Doesnt start (Blank screen)

Hi! i've a MBP 2.16ghz core2duo.
My problem is that if i shut it down and then start it again it wont boot.
It will spin up the harddriva and the fans. But it only shows a blank(black) screen.
I've tried the SMC reset and PRAM reset but it doesnt help.
I think it could be a sensor problem or so, because if i let it "cool down" for a while it will start and then i can restart it directly after until it gets warm.
But if i get it to start then i can work in MacOSX for hours and hours without any problem until i restart it, then it wont boot.
And then the same if i let it cool down for a while it will start.
I've checked the temps with "Temperature monitor" and none of them seems very hot.
(theese are idle temps)
Cpu A diode: 46c
CPU Core 1: 44c
CPU core 2: 47c

Patrik from Sweden

I took the non optical drive MBP into Genius Bar at Apple Bridgewater, NJ. The guy was very well trained in how to make a logic board crash seem normal. It was applaudable. Seriously. Really good service. "Mind if I plug this into our system?", "Hmm, Let me try this drive" "Well, it did get on our system, let me run this diagnostic". "Look, your hard drive is there, that's a good sign".
Me "Yes, but what is that red check mark next to power + - 5 volts?"
Him, "Yes, do mind if I take this in the back and look inside?"
Me, "Sure".
On his return," So the inside looks very clean, no problems there but this looks like it might be something that we would like to send to our repair facility in Tennessee. You see, if we put in one part and it doesn't fix it, we'd have to wait for another one. So we like to send these to a place that has all of the parts"
I got it back in 4 days. New logic board, new SSD. Ah, the joys.
Thanks for the responses, especially the SMC info and the PRAM reminder.

T41 Series wont boot/Blank Screen

Hi Guys and Girls,
My Girlfriend recently inherited a T41 from her father and I decided to give it a clean up for her as her father had no anti spyware protection or anti-virus, so after installing a few programmes like AVAST and Spybot to clear it up we turned it off and yestreday when we tried rebooting for the first time, it went to the dreaded blue screen. So my GF resetted and now it wont even boot, power is commin through, the lights are on, I can here the drive on, but screen is blank, and nothing is happening. Can anyone help? would it be caused by the anit-viral programmes? or is ther something nasty at work here? I do know that the USB plugs had stopped working a few months ago, but I thought that was due to driver issues whihc I was goin to correct..if that info helps. Thanks in advance for eny help provided

Hardware failure doesn't necessarily refer to dropping the laptop or spilling liquids onto it. It refers to the end of the life of a particular component, which would then need replacing. Laptops are not made to last forever. Everyone knows that the only thing that lasts "forever" are diamonds.
Now back to your situation, you said that the IBM screen doesn't show up. If you look very closely to the LCD while booting up, are you able to see anything?

Macbook pro wont start. grey screen then shuts off

I have been having some problems with my macbook when my battery would die and i would plug it in and try to turn it back on it would take forever to start back up. Sometimes i woudl have to unplug, take out the battery then put them back in and zap the pram and it would start. Then today it just started taking forever to restart so i shut it down and tried to restart now it starts goes to the grey screen and the little thing starts spinning and then about 5 sedc later it shuts itself down.
PLEASE HELP

If the Apple Hardware test does not bring up any problems with the hardware, I would advise doing an archive and install before you zero out the drive and erase all of the data on it.
Some things to keep in mind:
If your computer shuts down while booted to the install disk (either the AHT or the installer) you're looking at a hardware problem.
If you need to erase and install or send it in for repair of a hardware problem, you will need to back up any data you do not want to lose before doing so. If you are unable to do backups, an apple store or authorized service provider can do data retrieval for you. Bear in mind this is an optional service and you would be charged a fee for data retrieval.

Ipod touch 4g wont start - Black Screen

I bought an Ipod touch about 2 weeks ago. I never dropped it and water never fell in it. It HAD iOS 4.3.5 (had because I can't turn it on). When I try to turn it on, it won't start. Apple logo doesn't show, it only shows a black screen. When I connect it to the computer (Itunes) it doesn't recognize it. I don't know what happened. I have tried Re-charging it, but nothing happens. I've also tried to put it on DFU mode but it doesn't even shows the screen.
What can it be? Does the warranty covers this?
If you need more information about this tell me.

If you just got it, contact Apple and get it serviced.

Satellite C855-S5194 wont start, black screen, fan pulses

I've seen many posts and youtube videos on this subject, but not with the specific symptoms mine is having. I've gone through various troubleshooting steps already so don't bother telling me to do a power reset or whatever its called. Here's the specifics: When trying to power on the laptop, the fan tries to start, but then pulses on and off with increasing intensity and then dies down and builds up again. Screen is black, power light is on. I removed the hard drive and same thing. Here's the strange part: There is a 4G RAM in slot A and 2G in slot B. If I remove the 2G from B and leave 4G in A then I get just a single beep, no fan. If I take out 4G from A and replace with 2G card, I get the single beep. This model is supposed to work with only slot A occupied. If I reverse them, 2G in A and 4G in B I get the same beep. It's only if 4G is in A and 2G is in B that it at least pulses the fan on and off. I thought it unlikely that it is the RAM and it's just due to another fault that this strange thing happens. So I stripped it down to get out the motherboard for inspection. I found a suspect looking solder joint next to where the battery connects, there is a double-pin solder joint that looked like a cold joint, so I resoldered it and put back together. It basically still does the same thing except the fan does not pulse as quickly just one pulse about every 10-15 seconds, so it seems I changed something. Anyway, I'm at the conclusion that I need a motherboard reflow, unless it is the CPU which I wouldn't know how to test. One other thing I noticed when I took it apart was the CPU appeared to have way too much thermal compuound on it [from what I read] It looks like they just blobbed a whole bunch on top and the heat sink squeezed it out all over. Just wondering if that may have been the cause of overheating that damaged the motherboard or perhaps both RAM cards? That RAM symptom seems odd. I didn't feel like ordering new RAM when it didn't seem likely to be the problem, now I'm second guessing. So does it seem like motherboard or RAM... or the CPU?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
OK, so the motherboard reflow didn't work.
I found another motherboard online for $130 and that worked.
I think I'm going to get a cooling pad now in case overheating was the problem.

Satellite L350D-200 doesn't start - blank screen

Just like similar cases:
Switch on, hear the HD spinning, nothing else, screen stays blank, no BIOS
Checked with external monitor
Removed battery AC for > 1 hour, doesn't help.
No SW/HW updates I'm aware off (other then the automatic updates)
Looks like a HW failure -> ASP?
PZ

Hi!
> Looks like a HW failure -> ASP?
Yes, it seems so! :(
Im not a notebook technician but you have all done what you can do: Removing battery for one hour and checked with an external monitor.
For me it sounds like a hardware malfunction
The Satellite L350 is a new notebook and I assume your notebook is still under warranty. So the repair should be for free.
I think its the best way because the notebook technician can check every hardware part of the notebook to determine what is causing this issue.
Bye

Iphone wont start after screen, lcd change.

Ok so i had dropped my iphone and broke my digitizer and main lcd display. no problem my iphone still worked. So i changed my lcd and digitizer and now my iphone wont turn on. Nothing "nada" I already did that home button power button reset and no apple logo nothing. Plugged into charger and nothing no battery meter no sign of life. I have done this before with no problem but i dont know what i did wrong. Also not even itunes will pick it up.. someone please help me

I completed the DFU mode and on my computer it would not work I think because of my security settings and I did not want to disable my antivirus so I used my moms computer who hasnt updated her antivirus and it worked using her laptop....when I did it on my computer I got Unknown Error 21 which when I researched it could have been the security on my computer so I would suggest this as well but also if you get an error its probably because of your security settings on your antivirus....good luck and thanks gdgmacguy
