Backlight on but nothing on screen!!

I clicked the menu button and the screen backlight turned on but nothing appears on it, it just stays on forever...! I tried the menu + select for 6 sec and the screen just dims out and then dims in again to stay on forever without anything ever appearing on it. Its draining the battery like nuts cause its hotter than my coffee machine!

Did I mention that it doesn't mount on my desktop? Since I dont have any interface with my Ipod through the computer, I can only mess with it manually by pressing its buttons.
The only commands I know of are the "menu + select for 6 sec" and the "menu + select for 6 sec then keep select pressed and press rewind button and keep pressed for a couple of seconds" and none of them work.
I just got it out of the service shop cause I drained the battery connecting it to my hub which isnt USB 2.0! Pretty stupid,I know...but then again I didnt receive any message saying it didnt have enough power to charge the thing, and since I'd be using it for over a week it seemed pretty strange.
Oh well...seems that something will have to be serviced again.

  • My g5 2ghz tower turns on but nothing on screen

    my g5 2ghz tower turns on but nothing on screen. I've tried changing video card and still turns on but monitor is black saying that there's no signal.

    Hmmm, assuming both video cards aren't bad, then it must be a logic board problem.
    Does hold alt, option or shift key at bootup show anything?

  • Mail appears open in dock but nothing on screen! Help!

    I have this bizarre problem where i go to open my mail on my imac, i click the app in the dock, it bounces once, then the black arrow next to it appears. But nothing appears on screen. No windows, no error messages, nothing. But i do get the Mail bar at the top of the screen with 'File', 'Edit','View' etc etc.
    This has never happened before. I have tried opening Mail from the App folder, restarted my computer 6 times, repaired disk permissions, but still no joy.
    Anyone have any idea of what may be the problem may be, would be very much appreciated.
    Thankyou
    Matt

    Ok try the "Rebuild" command under the "Mailbox" menu. Failing this it may be a good idea to backup your mailboxes, reinstall Mail from your system disk, update and re-import your mailboxes.
    Let me know how it goes

  • Mac G3 plays startup music but nothing on screen

    Hi,
    Basically, my friend gave me this Mac G3 tower (Blue one) and showed me round his that it worked. When I got home and plugged it all in, I turned on the G3. It then played the start-up music but then displayed nothing on screen.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? It works perfectly fine with my friends monitor.

    Hi Don,
    I'm having a similar problem with a B&W 350 MHz (rev 1 I think). I get the start up tone and nothing appears on the monitor. Not sure if the machine is actually booting or not.
    I am trying to repair this machine for a friend. They had been having a problem with the machine booting into a blue screen. I suspected a corrupt directory, so I ran Disk Utility (from another machine) and also Disk Warrior. Both Disk Utility's Disk Repair feature and Disk Warrior found problems. Disk Warrior was able to successfully rebuild the directory.
    I had removed the hard drive from the machine and put it in an external casing in order to run Disk Repair and Disk Warrior. Upon putting the hard drive back into the B&W and booting the machine, I was able to successfully boot the machine into Tiger. I tested the machine for a few minutes and it seemed to work fine.
    Next, I ran software update and installed a new version of Safari and then after the required re-boot, tried to repair disk permissions. During the repair of disk permissions, the machine froze up completely. The clock stopped ticking and there was no mouse or keyboard response. I tried using the re-boot button on the front of the machine, but the machine would not fully re-boot. I get a boot tone, but no video.
    I tried re-setting the CUDA chip by pressing the re-set button on the logic board, but to no avail.
    Finally, I did take the battery out and had it tested at Radio Shack. The battery is showing a good 3.6 volts.
    I have a second B&W (300 MHz) that is basically doing the same thing. Do you know what could be causing the lack of video signal?
    Cheers,
    Thomas

  • Km2m Combo-L - powers up - but nothing on screen

    My father has just bought a new MoBo. The system powers up - and you hear the ram counting up - but there is nothing on the screen and the keyboard is also not working (apart from the small flash in the lights when the computer is turned on).
    We have remembered to connect the 12V 4-Pin too - and also checked with both connecting the monitor to the onboard-VGA and to a GeForce 4-card.
    I list the components we've used - I susspect after reading some of the other postings here that the weakness might be the powersupply (eventhough its brandnew and 400W) - but since I cant seem to find any precise specs on this I prefer to ask before running to the stores buying and buying a new powersupply.
    But please keep an open mind and come with any suggestions you think might help.
    Mobo: MSI km2m Combo-L
    Processor: AMD Duron 1000
    Ram: 1 x 512MB SDRAM 133
    HD: 1 IBM 60GB std.
    VGA-card: GeForce 4 MX440
    Powersupply:
    CODEGEN 400W        ATX2,03
    AC ind 230V AC/4A
    AC out 230V AC/0,5A
    +3,3V +5V  +12V  -5V  -12V  -5V SB
    20A   25A  12A   0,5A 0,8A  2A
    160W max.        9,6W max.
    thanks in advance

    See troubleshooter by Bas up above. That is, the troubleshooter is up above.
    Another possible reason is IDE settings. The HDD should be on IDE slot 1 at the end of the cable. First time I suggest no other IDE devices.
    Codegen, the PSU, was in another thread compared to the infamous Qtech, which must stand for questionable technology.

  • IDVD Burns disc but nothing on screen!

    I've just burnt a DVD on iDVD from an iMovie project, about 2min 30sec, it went through the whole process and ejected the disc towards the end of the 'clean up' part.  Strangely, after ejecting the DVD I had to force quit iDVD as it didn't stop working.
    I can see the disc has been burnt but when I try and play the disc, I get a black screen. I've tried it on my Mac and on a DVD player, the DVD player doesn't display the menu, nor does the Mac, just black.
    I've used this process before some time ago and it worked fine.
    What's the problem??

    • What material (Codec) was used in iDVD Don't know where to find this info
    Open video sequens with QuickTime-Player then open Inspector [cmd+I] and read
    Video formatted/Codec: nnnnnnnnn
    what does it say ?
    • How - step by step - did You do it with iDVD  I made the movie in IMovie HD (1080i 25) then selected 'Share' and selected iDVD which launched iDVD
    I do in iMovie'08 to 11 - Share to Media Browser - and as LARGE (Not HD or other resolution) - as this gives a much better result than "Share to iDVD" (all versions of iMovie)
    Theme used  'Portfolio Colour' - Should work
    Encoding method selected  None, default -
    I always use - Pro Quality for material > 45 minutes and Best Performances if movie and menu adds up to less.
    frame rate (PAL or NTSC)  PAL 25 fps - OK
    other material used
    • Brand of DVD used  Verbatim - me too
    • Type of DVD used DVD +R - I use DVD-R as they also play on older DVD-players
    • Burn Speed - set down or not  Whatever the Default is - I set it down to x2 or x4 - as this gives a better result (plays on more players as PCs etc)
    And a VERY GOOD suggestion (given by many here) - is to use "Save as a DiskImage" and test this with DVD-tool prior to actual burn to DVD. As this can isolate where the problem occurs.

  • Why does my MacBook pro turn on but nothing on screen?

    As of recent I sprayed my keyboard with flash. (surface cleaner) thinking it would be harmless. It worked as it normally would but the next day I turned it on the keyboard lights had started to stop working and then so did the function of typing. So in the meantime I've bean using a USB keyboard and that started to work but it turns out It doesn't want to even do that. So as I couldn't use it just got stored away till I find out how it can be repaired and how much it would be (dread to think) 2weeks later I thought id boot it up and all I hear is the fan even when the lid is closed which is odd. Yet the screen dosent show anything. At the beginning I used a hair dryer to the keyboard and it did start to work but then I had to use USB
    Even though it was a small amount of liquid it couldn't surley cause that much damage?!
    Please if anyone has had similar problems or knows what it could be. Message me. Peace :D

    Ah...
    Did you go to your Energy Savings and turn off "Wake for Network Access"?
    When you turn off Airport, then shutdown the computer, does the computer still wake back up?
    Download OnyX and run all the cleaning features, you can cancel the restart to do another cleaning, just make sure you restart when finished.
    Also there is a Preference File check under the "Verify" icon of OnyX, check the box that says "show only corrupt preference files"
    If you get any, write them down and later find them in the Finder and just delete them, they will be rebuilt when you restart the machine.
    Note you will have to reenter the preferences for that particular program or process again manually.

    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.

  • HT4972 My phone is not responding since I downloaded the IOS update 7, I am locked out of using my iPhone, I enter my 4 digit number and a screen appears saying Joining "Sherry's Wi-Fi Network" but nothing else is happening and I can't use me phone.

    An update from Apple appeared on my iPhone so I downloaded it, it was an IOS update.  The screen said to swipe to open, then enter a 4 digit number, which I did then it went to a screen asking for my network info which I entered (except I guessed at the security as being "WPA2", I have not idea, I entered my password and now the only screen that will appear is one stating it is Joining my stated Network??? but nothing is happening and I can't use any of my iPhone features at all?  Help

    Go back to the previous page.  If there's no available wireless networks listed except "Other" which is manually putting the wireless network information, see if you have "activate using cellular" or "connect to iTunes" option.

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace
