Black Screen after flashing the latest BIOS

Nothing but Black screen (fan, leds work) after flashing the latest bios...
Is there anything I can do, or just new bios/motherboard can help? (I tried resting the battery, F8 key..) Thanks in advance

I presume BIOS is screwed up. What you need is professional help with this so contact nearest service provider and ask for help.
By the way: check this forum using advanced search option. In the past I saw several interesting threads about BIOS recovering. Im pretty sceptic about it but maybe you will be lucky and find solution.

Does anyone get a black screen after dismissing the balance on a paygo phone

I get a blank, black, screen after dismissing the balance on my paygo 3GS iphone. To get rid of it I put the phone into standby and then wake it up!

From your logfile
[787100.353] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i740_drv.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i740_drv.so: undefined symbol: I740_Sync
Corruption seems the correct assumption here; I'd boot using a rescue disc; then mount your actual system and reinstall all packages. After chrooting, that should be something like pacman -Sf `pacman -Qqet`

Black screen after P35 NEO-F BIOS Flash to v2.1

Hey Out There
I just upgraded my motherboard P35 Neo-F to bios version 2.1. With the tool from this forum.
After that the PC shows a black screen when booted, I have then tryed to clear the CMOS by removing the battery and switching the jumpers place.
After that i booted, and came up with wrong CMOS. F1 to run setup, F2 to load defaults CMOS settings. I then pressed F2 and booted into Windows.
I then found out that my 3Ghz processor was only running at 2Ghz. I then rebooted to check the bios settings, but it only shows a black screen when it tryes to boot.
I have to clear the CMOS to get into windows...
What could be wrong???
Hope one out there can help me.
Regards

Hey.
Sorry for that.. I will then flash my bios back to 1.A..
But since it is that way that P35 Neo-F uses the bios from G33 Neo-F it should go wrong a lot of times. I dont know how many of the P35 Neo-F users that knows that.
MSI should make a discription on the P35 Neo-F site, that tells: PCB rev.x uses bios xxxx and so on.
But thanks for the help.
So far arround 10 users/cases crashed to the same.

Not a lot as 2.xx BIOSes are normally not available for manual download, but only from "Live Update"

I cannot open youtube videos to full screen after downloading the latest version of flash. HELP

I cannot open youtube videos to full screen after updateding flash to the latest version (11. something) HELP! youtube says it is adobe's problem

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video

I get a black screen after installing the bootcamp drivers on my newly created windows partition?

I am attempting to install windows 7 on my mid 2007 core 2 extreme iMac. I open bootcamp and do all of the steps except the usb flash drive drivers from apple because the server always fails to load. After restarting, I install windows 7 to the bootcamp partition, and the screen goes black during the "Completing Installation." I wait about an hour before shutting down and rebooting into my Mac partition. I use paragon ntfs for mac and go to the drivers folder and delete the atikmdag.sys file and restart. Booting into the windows partition, I get the error that says "Windows installation has failed because the system unexpectedly restarted. Click ok to restart and redo installation" or something along those lines. Instead of pressing ok, I press shift+f10 and open regedit. After opening regedit, I go into some registry file for the setup (I don't remember where this is located, although I can find it if needed), and I change a value from 3 to 1. After doing this and restarting, It boots regularly with a super low res screen but it boots without problem. I go to the apple website and download the appropriate bootcamp support software and install on my windows partition. After restarting, the screen is black again. I assume this is another video driver problem again because the black screen seems to always be video driver problems; however, its odd that the bootcamp support software would give me an incorrect video driver as it is directly from apple. Would this be the problem or does anyone know a fix? Any help is appreciated.

Adam

If you bought your RAM at a place that also sells PC RAM you may have gotten mislabelled RAM. PCs can handle different RAM speeds so they’ll often label higher speed RAM as a lower speed rather than make two different speeds of RAM. But Macs are much more picky. They require a RAM stick to be exactly 667mhz not 675mhz or 800mhz. The way to tell is to put one of your old RAM sticks in and it will force the new RAM to run at the correct speed.
This is from one review of PNY RAM:
"These modules are actually 800Mhz. PNY no longer makes or sells 667Mhz modules. Not all computers that require 667Mhz are compatible with 2 800Mhz modules. They refuse to down clock properly. This is especially true with a number of Core 2 Duo MacBooks. Spoke to PNY support, they flat out told me that yes, they sell 800Mhz modules in 667Mhz packaging. If you RMA a module that is 667Mhz (or supposed to be 667Mhz) they will replace it with an 800Mhz module as they no longer have any 667Mhz SODIMMs, not even for RMA replacement!"
These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.

Help!GT780DX got black screen after flashing vbios

Seems you bricked the vga with wrongly flashing a vbios not intended for your system. Guess you have to send it to MSI for a at the owner's expense repair.

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!

Qosmio X870-149 - Black screen after Update to win 8.1

After an update to win 8.1 I got a black screen after login , the only thing I could do was to press zero during startup and make a recovery installation .
It took 40 houres , I do not know why it took so long , but when it was over, the HDD was completely empty , so I installed win 7 instead , since I had not made ??a recovery CD . The problem now is that I still get black screen in between , and thinking that it might be a heat problem , I still have warranty , but I do not know if it applies when I installed win 7 on the machine.
I still have a warranty on my toshiba Qosmio

Hi
Well, the warranty covers the hardware related problems. It does not cover any issues related to the software.
Now the open question is: why the black screen appears?
Is it hardware or software issue?
What happens if you access the BIOS?
Can you see anything on the screen?
Is something visible on the external monitor?

My Imac 24" goes black screen after start up. Booting from original CD or CMD R don't work, both go black screen

So, yesterday while playing a game of league of legends my Mac stopped running. After I resetted it, I got black screen after it the chime + loading bal.
So far I've tried:
CMD+R => black screen
Holding shift => black screen
Holding Alt => chosing the HR, the repair disk, or the original CD to reintsall => black screen
Holding S => got to the terminal, did the check up, it said it was ok, restarted => black screen
Took off the power cable, waiting at least 15 seconds, and everything back on => black screen
Holding Alt Cmd + p + R => black screen after restart
Removed 1 of the memories, then testen, same with the other one => black screen
I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. Anything I've overlooked?

Any white text?
Startup - Black Screen/White Text
Startup – Red Screen
Startup Issues - Resolve
Startup Issues - Resolve (2)
Startup Issues - Resolve (3)
Restart the computer holding down the command - option/alt - P - R keys before the grey screen appears. Continue to hold until you hear the startup chime for the second time.
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Try a SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

Big problem with KT3 Ultra (ms-6380e v1.0) after flashing the BIOS (de

Hello out there.
I have a real complicated matter with my Kt3 Ultra board.
Used to work fine, but after I flashed it with the latest BIOS (5.7), the board has this strange behaviour: when I clear the CMOS, the board boots up, when I change & save the settings, the board does not "come to life"(black screen & beeper silent).
It has also this weird problem: it shows garbage charaters on the voltage setting of the CPU. Instead of voltages (i.e. 1.750 etc. etc.) I have only "scrambled" strings.
I had MANY difficulties in upgrading the BIOS because the AMI-flashing utility kept telling me "bios protection enabled) (but there was NO bios-protect setting in the previous bios - I checked a zillion times)...but after trying with different revisions finally I made it.
I already tried everything (re-flashed older bios-es etc. etc.)and I'm starting to feel beat ... if you have any advice, please le me know.
It would be really SAD to put this great board in the garbage-dump....
Bye,
Wyk'03

im having problems with this board as well,
i had no problems with the flash,
i did this...
boot to win me floppy,
copy the flash files to ramdrive, flashed to latest bios..
now windows hangs when i have my ac97 audio enabled in bios...
I WANT MY AC97!
hmmm can you get to a dos prompt from a boot disk?
try re-flashing with 1.0 again and then disable the cmos virus protection thingy, and yes it was there it was in the 1.0 bios on the main screen.

My new imac won't operate youtube even after installing the latest flash

my new imac won't operate youtube even after installing the latest flash

Problem solved!
I had downloaded and then installed Flash, and restarted.
The problem? I was expecting Youtube to work as on my old PC, where you get a little pop-up menu at the bottom of the TV screen to play. pause etc. That won't happen on a Mac until you click on the oblong that says Flash in the middle - I didn't know that!
Hooray!

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.

Qosmio F50-125 starts with black screen after an BIOS update

Hi
after instalation if new bios (v 2.0), computer sometimes starts with the black screen .
Even the first page that show press f2 to enter the bios is not shown.
Do you have somebody old version of the bios?
So I could try if it is the fault of it.

Hi
I think the old BIOS will not help you because the notebook would known that you are trying to update the BIOS to the older version and it would break up the procedure.
Furthermore the older BIOS is no available on the Toshiba European driver page.
I think just only a Toshiba ASP has got an older BIOS version.
Anyway, you said this happens sometimes.
This would mean that this issue doesnt persist always
Hmm. in such case I recommend settings the BIOS to the default settings and to update the display driver.

After update the latest iOS 4 my ipad screen sometimes continues moving

Why after update the latest iOS 4.3, my ipad screen sometimes continues moving and hard to chose or touch the keyboard or icon?

I have the exact same issue. The screen moves up and down just a little so the bars in the top left hand corner are almost hidden. And pressing icons does not work at times. Pressing buttons inside open apps does not work at times or takes forever to execute the command. Also, some apps freeze or open and then suddenly close. I updated all my apps to determine if the cause was an app that is not compatible with the new operating system. This did not work. Is there a way to update again? Could the problem be that the update was corrupted in some way? Any suggestions would be appreciated. It did not happen with my iPhone when I installed the update.

TS3297 After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

I have the same problem and have been fighting with it for several days. I think the last thing that I did before this happened was to let Quicktime update itself. When I open itunes and click on store, the connecting bar gets halfway and then stops. That leaves me with the white store page, if I leave it alone for a bit, I see words as in names of singers and but no pictures.
I have ran the diagnostics and see no problems at all, no event logs in windows, no errors at all. I've un-installed itunes and re-installed but no change. I'm using Norton 360 from comcast. I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Also, the help in itunes doesn't display.
I put in a ticket with apple and the response I got back basically told me to do what I've already done. I created a new user and have the same issue.
Any help at all will be very much appreciated. I think this started August. 8, 2011.
thanks so much for reading
