After udev message (boot) screen gone dark and never comes back

Hi,
I don't know if this a specific Laptop issue, but it occurs on my Aer Aspire Laptop. Archlinux is booting fine but most! the display gone black after loading the udevd during the startup and bnever returns! The boot process is still ongoing and after a short time the system is ready but there is no more output on the display. I guess the switch from the textmode interface (e.g. grub menu) to the graphics mode isn't working properly. If there is a way to stay on textmode during boot it will solve my problem. There is a standrd intel915 graphik chip working in this Laptop.
best regards,
frigg

Hi skunktrader,
no, I don't tried this before but you've got it! appending
video=SVIDEO-1:d
to the kernel line did the trick.
best regards,

My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all.

My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all. I have also re-installed OSX from scratch and still happens.

I have the same problem. I have a white macbook 2010, with mavericks os. I just found my mac not powering on and then I tried to run it on safe mode by holding the shift button but it will turn off seconds after I let go of the shift button. I am able to access the desktop and use it while holding the shift button the whole time. It's a bit slower than before but I figured maybe it's because of holding down shift button.
I went to the Apple Store to have them look at my mac and I was told it's a failed hard disk. I wasn't told why he was able to conclude that a failed hard disk is causing the problem, I was just told to get a replacement. But the thing is when I ran Disk Utility it says, "disk appears to be okay." So I also feel like it's possible it's not a hard disk issue because it's also the first time it happened. My mac was working perfectly fine before all this.
Do you know anything else that could cause this problem? Were you able to find out what's wrong?
Thanks.

Skype shows "Connecting" and never comes back

Upgraded to v7 recently. Running a Win 8 desktop. Had no issues w/Skype for years.
Now, after finally getting what I thought was a successful Installation, Skype just sits their in the desktop tray (pale icon) and says "connecting" and never comes back. Disabled my firewall (which was never a problem before) and it didn't matter.
Frustrated, I clicked the desktop icon and then got another error indicating I am "logged onto this PC with another Skype account", where upon I then try to login to Skype with a different account, and it then infinitely just says "logging in".
I've uninstalled and re-installed countless times (and yes, countless reboots and shut-down / power back on) and I've finally given up using Skype for awhile, since nothing I can do makes a difference.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Try first to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Can't SMS people who have gone overseas and then come back - weird!!!!!!

I have a problem with my texts when OTHER people go overseas. When they come back from overseas they can text me but I can't return their text. This has happened 3 times now with 3 different people. I have tried deleting and adding their number and entire contact again, added and deleted the +61 before their number.
One of the people's text came to me from their @icoud name but they were actually sending it from their phone and the phone setting said they had sent it from their actual telephone number.
When i tried to reply it bounced back but when I returned text to their @icloud address it went through as a normal text and ended up their conversation thread from me.
As I mentioned its only happened to people who have been overseas and then come back to Australia.
Very confusing - any ideas anyone.
thanks Craig

Sorry it took me so long to write back, But unfortunately this didn't help my issue.
My uncle and I did a lot of tests on this computer and have narrowed down the location of the problem a little bit.
We tried to first reset the SMC and the NVRAM as suggested, but the only thing that did was make the fans run on full tilt for the first session after restarting it for some reason. After that we tried re installing OSX over the OSX that was already on the system (not removing any of the files). This also didn't do anything but make refit stop working. Then we moved onto the next task at hand by removing the hard drive entirely and booting it as an external drive from one of the USB ports... as long as you booted it with the options key held down, it worked perfectly fine. Then we put an alternative hard drive into the computer and installed OSX on that. This time there was no trouble booting anything up. Everything seemed to work flawlessly. So we made a backup of my original drive (OSX, Windows, and all) onto an external hard drive and tested booting to it via USB. That again worked perfectly fine and booted right up with no problems. So after that we formatted the original hard drive and reinstated OSX. We then proceeded to transfer all the old files from the backup onto this new installation and LOW AND BEHOLD..... we were back to square one with it refusing to recognize the hard drive again.
So this basically told us that there appears to be something either wrong with the hard drive, or something got really screwed up in the software along the lines and by me copying all my old files back over, I just ended up bringing the screwed up file back over with it! (despite not copying over any settings of any kind) So I am still extremely confused as to what is going wrong... did some boot sector possibly get screwed up may be?

Help--why has MacBook screen gone dark and how do I get it back?

I have a MacBook (model 4,1 running OS 6.8). I use the MacBook as my desktop computer in conjunction with a separate desktop monitor. Today, when I unplugged a USB hub from one of the ports (after carefully ejecting anything on the desktop that needed to be ejected before unplugging), the screen on the MacBook--not the separate monitor--suddenly went dark. I thought it had gone to sleep or into screensaver mode, but noticed that the white light on the MacBook also wasn't showing.
The separate monitor display (on which I'm typing this message) seems fine. I checked DIsplays/Arrangement in System Preferences, but both displays were detected in their usual arrangement, though I did notice that the working display has a white bar across the top but the MacBook display doesn't have one. I clicked "Detect Displays," but that didn't change anything.
I then did a restart, and things seemed to go as usual: the shutdown went okay and on restart, the white light went on on the MacBook and the monitor screen lit up normally. However, the MacBook's screen is still dark and the white light is off.
Can anyone tell me why this happened and how to get my MacBook screen back? I don't know whether unplugging the hub caused the problem or whether it was just a coincidence that something that runs the MacBook display happened to fail right then. Would appreciate any help out there very much--thanks!
PS: Just tried shutting down and powering on again with the separate monitor unplugged, but the MacBook screen still stays black and the white light shuts off as soon as the desktop loads. When I plugged the separate monitor back in, it worked fine. So the problem doesn't seem to be a conflict with the separate monitor (which I've used for years).

Update: I went away for an hour, and when I came back I saw that the white light had gone on as usual when the MacBook went to sleep. When I touched the keyboard, both displays went on; however, the MacBook display went dark immediately and the white light is still out.

What to do if your iPhone will not turn on

IPhone screen went black and wont come back on.

Yesterday, I accidently turned my iPhone's brightness all the way down which caused the screen to go black. The phone is on because I can take screenshots and lock and unlock the lock screen. Also im getting notifications but cant see them. Ive tried everything from taking the battery out to calling Apple Customer Service, but the screen is still black. HELP!!?

Did you also try to connect in recovery mode?

Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM (and other apps) - Both applications freeze and never come back...

We are trying to use test runner with dynamics CRM.
MS Dynamics CRM will freeze and will not respond (even after 10 - 15 minutes). When this happens, the test manager will either freeze or a message will apear saying "waiting for application under test".
We are not recording action recordings...This makes using test manager impossible. It happens consistently, starting with slowing the PC down (mouse moving slowly, slow to load in new screens, drop downs etc) eventually leading to the app freezing.
Tried on windows xp, windows 7 etc on various specs of pcs.

I am experiencing this same issue with
Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM. I notice this was first posted in June of 2010 and so far no
resolution? I was wondering if it could be related to memory issues? Do you have any troubleshooting ideas? The
issue for me seems to be sporadic and I can't
reproduce it every time.
The message I get is "waiting on application under test".

Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on v

Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on the centre part with writing etc is almost black with light around edge. will this go? do i need to send it back?

Maybe your backlight is burning out? That's what I would think when the center is black but the edges have light. I'm not sure if a reset would fix the backlight but you can try (hold the menu and center buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release). If I were I'd send it back to Apple but do you know if you are still under warranty? You should be if you've had your iPod less than a year.
