870A-G54 Black screen after Live Update bios

Hi everybody,
My computeur works fine since 3years, I change nothing inside, I just want to upgrade all drivers and bios because sometimes the computeur was freezing without any reason....
So...I installed live update...Live update processed to the flash of the bios to the latest version, everything was ok, auto-reboot and.... black screen !!!!
Visually all is fine : led on, fan ok, fan of the video card too, hard drive is launching but nothing in the screen.
I already read all the post about the same problem, I try to reset the bios by unplugging the cord of the psu and move the jumper : nothing...
I change the video card : nothing more...
When I unplugged all the ram I heard 3 bips, and when 1 or more dimm present there is no bip.
I know there is a problem with this fu***** bios update but can you have an idea for my problem and help me ???!!!
Thanks.

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

Hello Adam,
I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

Photo Booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

Photo booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

It is not a widespread issue that requires apple to come out with a fix, I have many ipads that were updated and have no issues.
I would suggest you back-up and restore your device, that can repair many issues if the original update was corrupted.

Z77A-G43 login loop after Live update BIOS to V25.1

Hi,
Z77A-G43 windows login loop after Live update BIOS to V25.1
I'm able to see the BIOS menu. But when i continue to login to windows, it loops.
i would like to know on how to proceed on this. I tried safemode and i was able to login.
I cannot find the clear cmos jumper on this board.
Appreciate your response on this one. Thanks!
edit: I just tried removing the board battery. But still encountering the same issue.
-Paul

There is no such BIOS version for this board.
The last BIOS is v2.11 see here http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G43.html#/?div=BIOS
As for the CMOS jumper. This must be the most stupid saving that MSI has ever done. They leave out the jumper, obviously in an effort to save costs.
Check your manual to find the location of the clear CMOS pins. Then you need to short these with a jumper from somewhere else or use a metal object to connect the pins.

Black screen after Mavericks update ?

Hi everybody,
First of all, I want you to know that I'm French so I want to apologize for my potential mistakes
A few weeks ago, I updated Mavericks (because my mac told me to do that every single day .. ) on my Macbook Unibody bought in September 2010.
After that update, I had a black screen after the "Apple logo" and couldn't do anything. I went to a Genius Bar in Paris and the technician told me that the unique solution was to format the laptop. I decided to accept this because I needed my laptop for work. However, I lost all my data (documents, pictures ...)
Apparently, I'm not the only person in that case and the problem comes from Mavericks.
So I want to know if someone else is also in that case, and I think that it's unacceptable that Apple does not communicate about this.
Thank you

Connect the MBP to a monitor. If the monitor fails to produce an image, the GPU is suspect. If the monitor produces an image, the display or the display connection is faulty.

945p neo3 Problem after live update bios

Hi,
After I made the update trought live update, my computer doesn't start, I don't know what to do?
When I restarted it only shows the logo, if I hit DEL or TAB keys it shows to the start of the boot but it freezes.
I already clear the cmos, did anything that i had found on this forum, but nothing works.
I don't have the chance of doing anything because it won't gets the part to enter in bios.
It only appears in the screen thre lines:
AMIBIOS 2005.....
MSI 945PL Neo A7236IMS V1.9 Date: 08/07/06 08:05:52
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13 GHz , Speed:
and nothing else appears.
One of the things that is very strange is if my board is a 945p neo3 why it happears 945 pl neo, did the live update flash my motherboard with a wrong bios version????
is what it looks.
Any ideas to fix this, if there is a fix?
I don't see anything, because the motherboard don't even reaches the process of boot, so I can't try to flash a other version of bios because the process never reaches the time to boot from floppy, usb, disk..
HELP PLEASE,
Thanks in advance,
Nuno

"Thanks for the ISO File, everything is now correct, the problem with the memory was related with checksum, now happears the 4096 MB."
Nope they was 2 separate problems, solved with one hit.
"About I couln't start your application, whith the historial of your application and antivirus that I saw on the post about it, i got suspecious right away of my antivirus solution.
So to help, I uninstall and after that i could run it, I use Symantec Endpoint Proctection, is the corporate solution from symantec that is replacing the old one known as SAV - Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition. I didn't find any message in the logs of it, but the fact is that if I have this solution installed I could not run USB tool, if I Uninstall I could run it."
Probably same resource conflict with your AV (some kind of system restriction) which cause Tool unable to proceed properly and terminating itself.
Can't duplicate your issue. I was using SAV - Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition(Up to date) till now and Tool perform well,
Just installed and updated Symantec Endpoint Protection (Updated to latest definition with all protection activated) and the Tool perform well as expected too.
"now happears the 4096 MB"
Nice

Mov videos show black screen after latest update (idvd, iweb)

Hi MacUsers,
I am facing a severe problem after updating my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8) with iDVD 7.1.2 and the iWeb Update. I opened a keynote'09 presentation and encountered that most videos do not show up or just show a black box. Then I tried to open the original mov videos with QuickTime Player 10 and 7 but also black screen. Everything worked perfectly before the update. Any ideas how to solve the problem? It is urgent because I have to give a presentation tomorrow. By the way, using VLC works fine, but this does not help me with keynote. Thanks for any answers.
Best - $putnik

Here is a comparable problem described in an older thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2259769
It seems that there is still a problem with QuickTime. All other players such as MplayerX, VLC or mediAvatar can handle the mov videos (Apple Motion Jpeg A). Is there a solution?

MBP Black Screen after software update

This is posted also in OS X.6.8 forum:
Hello to all, Just after dowloading today's latest updates, iTunes, Safari, something about file exchanges and Apple remote I beleive, there needed to restart and once done, no chime and black screen...
All was perfectly fine just before, and I did backup beforehand.
Tried to reset PRAM, restart in Single user, Safe mode, Installation Disk, all with no success.
I will let it powered off and let it cool down for a while if it can help, but it was not particularly hot when restarted.
Any other suggestions ??
Many thanks !!

Hi Clinton,
Thanks for your quick answer.
Actually, I'm using 17" version as I've last check the version was OS X 6.8.
I did pressed buttons to see if it works behind, I believed it works there's light in caps lock, makes noises when I pressed the sound button and esc button.
I did pressed the light F2 still NO DISPLAY.

Black screen after mavericks update? Macbook seems to be on fine (Volume works, can open itunes and hit play on keyboard etc) But just black screen.

Hey,
I have a big problem, and here is the story!
About 6 months to a year ago, I had water damage onto the macbook pro, it completely didn't work for ages, however yesterday I thought I might as well try it again, and it worked! I was super happy that the laptop worked completely fine!
However, in system properties it was only saying it has the intel chip, not the nvidia one, so I thought maybe the graphics card was broken from the water damage? I was not too sure.
I then went to upgrade to mavericks, as soon as the update finished, black screen! From the second I turn on the notebook its black, no cursor no nothing, the PC turns on fine, I can type my password, then search for itunes, hit play on the keyboard and music plays. So its literally just a pure black screen. I try to hold CMD-R when restarting the notebook and nothing, pure black screen the screen never comes on at all!
Thanks all.

Black screen after software update

I have a new P7-1254 with Windows 7. Second time I lost the monitor screen and icons after updating software. This happened with Norton Internet Security 2012 and just recently again with update to System Mechanic. I have to enter safe mode and restore computer to a previous time. Screen is all black with no mouse pointer or anything else. Monitor is an HP flatscreen.

If you tried to reset your Touch, and are unable to, your best option may be to visit your local Apple Store/Genius Bar to fix this snafu. Since you cannot restart Touch, and your unit isn't recognized, it's best to have Apple staff address this.

N8 Black Screen After Software update

I know this has been posted sometime ago, i just wanna know if there are developments as to how i can fix this issue.
I left my N8 while it was updating , when i came back the screen says Nokia PC suite has stopped working but after i closed the program and opened it again the update page says "Update Complete" after that i noticed that the PC suit/Computer is no longer detecting my Phone and the Screen is already black. I tried to turn it off and On (only felt the vibration), Already tried the 8-10 seconds hold on Power button (and felt the 3 vibraions), still not working. Also tried the 3 finger thing to no avail. I felt regret for updating my N8. I shouldnt have click that update button on the Pc suit. Hope someone out there can help me.

@Perre
Just to clarify whilst carrying out three key reset you did release power button only after first vibration whilst keeping other three designated keys depressed?

Black screen after KDE update (14.12.1)

A few errors or warning in .xsession.errors (don't know if they're relevant):
plasma-desktop(865)/libplasma Plasma::isPluginVersionCompatible: unversioned plugin detected, may result in instability
plasma-desktop(864): Communication problem with "plasma-desktop" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
Renaming $HOME/.kde4 and deleting /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER didn't solve anything.
I can launch applications with Alt-F2, but the screen remains black.
Thanks for your help.

Hello ahmedgemy
Check out the Display section of the first article below to see if you can get the Screen to turn back on. You also may want to try restoring your iPhone using iTunes to see if that resolves the issue.

Black screen after windows auto update

New laptop in use for 3 weeks. After Windows auto update restart I get to splash screen and am able to enter Windows password to log onto desktop. After successfully entering password I am not able to view my desktop; I get the black screen with cursor function; cursor disappears when moved within an inch of left or right of screen (seems to go behind something). I believe I am at the desktop but just not able to view it, because I receive app popups on the black screen (need to update McAfee, etc).
In safe mode I restored to pre auto update date; manually installed all Windows updates; worked fine until NEXT auto update, same problem.
Graphics Card: Stock Intel HD Graphics
Monitor: Generic PnP
Why would it be fine with the manual update and not after auto update?
I do not have an external monitor to attach this laptop for diagnosis. I have run windows partition checks and hard drive partition checks with no issues to resolve.
I did get an error message once when running a diagnosis (can't remember which) : Windows Update Error 0x80070490
No real luck finding anyway for me (the average Joe) to resolve this issue.
If this is a harddrive issue I don't want to keep pussyfooting around while my warranty window shrinks.
I have downloaded driver updates from HP, but cannot get the Synaptics Touchpad driver to download. I don't think this is my issue though.
I am going to manually update all my drivers then manually update Windows. We will see what happens on the next auto update.
Please advise if this is an issue I need to just give up on and return this laptop for replacement. It seems like this is not a completely unheard of issue, but I'm shocked at what we are asked to do to attempt to resolve it. Out of my depth.

Hi @Justanothermom
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having troubles with a black screen after an update. I am happy to help you with this.
Firstly, there is nothing wrong with modifiying your update settings. I was going to suggest it myself as I read through your post, and then saw you ask the question. Sometimes updates can have unintended results by the creator. With all the different combinations of hardware, and the fact that updates come from different sources, it is one of those things that is hard to completely control.
Please see the following for how to make adjustments to your update settings.
Turn automatic updating on or off - windows.microsoft.com
Or if you know which update seems to be causing the issue you can take a look at this page:
win 8.1 August 12 updates - black screen after 2nd reboot - answers.microsoft.com
Let me know if this helps at all.

Black screen after BIOS update

Hi there,
After updating BIOS with regular HP software (i forgot the name now), the computer shut down and from that moment when i turn it on the screen stays black (with computer apparently running). I read so many posts with similar problems and i tried few things but without success. I know that i am very close to solve the problem but from all the suggestions i am now simply confused. I would like to ask, if someone can guide me through step-by-step procedure, i figured out that i need to install a BIOS version on USB-stick, but exact details i am obviously missing.
I have HP Pavilion dv 6700 Entertainment PC and new HDD inside without HP_TOOLS on it.
Thank you veeeeeryyyy much!

M5400 - Black screen after updating BIOS

As the title says, I've got this unwanted black screen after updating BIOS with update utility from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds037429
What I've tried :
- power / battery out, pressing power button several times for short / long and longer time
- BIOS battery out for about half an hour
- wincrisis with USB bootable stick and BIOS extracted from BIOS update utility from support.lenovo
- different combinations of keys such as : FN + B / F / R +/- win key
What should I do next except finding a hammer ?

Hey,
I am having the same problem, I was updating my bios.. followed all directions which is necessary to update them.
And then when it was almost ready it said "Bios update is not responding" so I waited... and waited because I did not want to abort it but then Vista aborted it for me.
Well at first it did not seem to be a problem but then I noticed that I could not click anything (was still in windows @ that time did not reboot yet) then I wanted to reboot but nothing worked.. Pressing off button for a time to shut down did not work.. So eventually power was out. And it shut down.
So I hooked it up again but nothing happened. Pressing the "on" button made it start.. The DVD-drive loaded for a second but... that is it just a black screen :S
Going to bring it back to the shop tomorrow.
