I grasp that your display remains black when you try to power on your notebook. There has been some damage to the display but this has not been an issue before. This started after the computer had gone into sleep mode.
Here are some links that I think may help.

My iPod show total white screen as soon as I connect it to my PC and cannot syncronize

My iPod nano 6th generation cannot syncronize anymore to the PC (I tried with three different PC with latest iTunes installed) and as soon as I connect it to the PC the icons on the screen disappear and it shows total blank white sreen. And it has lost all the music inside. What can I do..? thanks a lot for any suggestion..

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

Black screen as soon as you turn it on, never displays

My laptop boots up - the power light goes on and the fingerprint login light flashes - but at no time does the screen change from black so that I can access the computer. I swipe my finger over the log-in fingerprint light and it stops flashing, but nothing else changes. I've tried Control Alt Del, but I never get the task manager, the screen remains black. This occured after the computer was in sleep mode. There has been some damage to the screen, but it has never been black like this before.

While i was on fb... i went to th kitchen and grabbed a drink so i placed my ipod down... i.got back and i unlocked it, but it froze.... what should i do..? Does anyone have a soluion to this...? Please help..

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Iphone is stuck on a black screen that says to connect it to itunes

I wanted to update the ios on my iphone yesterday- biggest mistake ever. FOr hours it was stuck with the word searching on the top lest hand were the carrier name should be. At night I finally got the time to connect the **** phone to wifi and tried to update the idiot software again while the phone was charging. Woke up and the phone was on a black screen that asked me to connect the phone to itunes, so i did. Now it tells me to update it through itunes or it will restore the phone to factory settings which is something that I absolutely can not do because itunes has not let me back up my phone for over more that half a year.

Your iPhone is in recovery mode and any data that was not backed up is already gone. You have no choice but to restore the phone and restore from your last backup.

Very weird problem - not your average black screen

So, I finally broke down and decided to ask for help on this. I have a good amount of experience and have not been able to get this to work consistently. The laptop is admittedly pretty beat up, but it works without a hitch once it's booted. It seems like complete luck getting it to work as if it starts up when it's done frustrating me. I need it as a node for an Adhoc project and it would be great if it could work normally again.
Laptop:
Toshiba M305 w/ Turion x2 and Radeon graphics.
I don't think it makes a difference but I'm running Debian on it with an SSD. I've also replaced the original keyboard. The problem started months after these changes after the laptop took a hit off the bed (carpet). I get a black screen as soon as I turn it on after shutting it down. The screen won't turn on but I hear the DVD drive make its normal noise and the fan spins. If I'm persistent enough with a combination of below tactics or just plain luck it will start back up and work perfect.
What I've tried to no avail:
-removing the battery and the power and holding down the power to drain the capacitors
-taking out one of both memory modules (i think it does the POST because it beeps when there's no memory)
-removing the hard drive
Things I don't think it is and why:
-don't think it's the screen because when it works it lights up fine, also it has the same issue when plugged into a vga display
-don't think it's the hard drive nor the memory as it has the same problem with either off
I'm inclined to think it's a MoBo problem? But then why would it work perfectly fine when it feels like it... I would think nothing is fried. The next thing I was going to try is removing the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS settings and while it's open check for loose connectors I guess.
Any help is truly appreciated! Let me know if there's any other info I can provide. Thanks.

^ There is a mention in there of a problem with faulty switch or something, related to whether or not the machine can tell the lid is open. If it works sometimes, that plus it was jolted in a fall might say loose connection someplace.

Z68A-GD65-G3 SLI black screen lock ups

Let me start off by saying I have tried everything and I motivate everyone to prove me wrong and provide me with a solution to this issue.
System spex:
MSI z68A GD65 G3
2600k
Corsair XMS3 1600 16GB
Corsair AX1200
2 - EVGA GTX 580 3GB SLI
Running beta bios: E7681IMS.N49 from -> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151148.msg1144560#msg1144560
I have tried almost every BIOS under the sun, including "standard bios" ie flash back to factory BIOS
So here is the issue:
In order to run SLi I have to be at completely stock settings, if I even up the multiplier to x35 on my CPU I black screen as soon as I bench/game on the cards. If I bench only the CPU (prime95) it is fine and no issues. but again as soon as I loud up something graphics wise the screen goes black and locks up.
It isn't the cards either, each card has been tested on its own and in different PCs in SLi.
It is like the motherboard cant handle the power??????
Someone else has to be overclocking and running two power house cards like this without issues? right? what did they do different? what settings? am I missing something?
Or do I need to contact MSI and get a RMA in process.
Before adding the extra card I had my CPU @ 4.7Ghz and when I would bench it I would take it to 5Ghz+ without a issue... solid, never had a BSOD. but this extra card just kills the systems.
Again everything set to stock and the system runs great I can game on it for hours without issues.
Thanks
Nick

I am not running your PSU down, don't get me wrong. You have the best PSU by general consensus. All I am suggesting is to check it in another system under similar OC conditions with approx the same specs.
It does fine with SLI non OC, yet when you add the extra load of OC, and that can be an additonal 50 to 100W, then the PC becomes problematic.
It could be something else, but one has to start eliminating potential culprits.
Edit: Did you install Virtu ? If so, have you tried deleting it again for a test ?
Oh I understand completely and thank you for your suggestion and time, it helps me to believe that it could be my PSU even more, I am borrowing a PSU from a friend and a PSU tester from work and tonight will get a chance to do some full testing on the PSU.
If that tests out ok I will pull my PSU out and RMA it. hopefully Corsair will have a quick turn around.
Virtu isn't installed, I will double check but it was disabled in BIOS, but i have reset my BIOS so many times I will make sure it still is.
I will report back with my findings.

MacBook Pro does not start up properly after yosemite, I see a black screen. What to do?

Apple MacBook Pro 15 " 2.4iC2D/2x1Gb/160Gb/256V, 07-02-2008, always properly updated.
Lately Iphoto worked slow and stuck many times. After ugrade from Maverick to Yosemite had to upgrade IPhoto as well.
After that the laptop started 2 or 3 times, after that it showed me a black screen.
I succeeded to connect with a firewire cable the laptop to my Mac and could look into the laptop.
Unfortunately there was a power break, and I don't succeed in reconnecting.
The laptop stays warm and I hear (I suppose) the hard disk.
What to do? I want to find my fotos and put them on the Mac.

I went to apple today and they told me that the hard drive has unmounted itself. They have my macbook right now and they said they're going to replace the wire that connects the hard drive to the logic board and see if this solves the issue. If it doesn't work they will replace the existing 250GB hard drive in my macbook with a 500GB as they no longer make that size hard drives (cost of £130 for the replacement). The problem is that i dont have my macbook backed up so will there be anyway to get data off the od hard drive?

Won't boot at all, just a black screen

I have a HP G72-227WM Notebook PC. Windows 7 64-bit. It recently crapped out on me. I have no idea what went wrong on it. All it does it go to a black screen as soon as I turn it on. No logos, no cursor, just straight to a black screen. The fan spins, and it sounds like it's going to boot up, but nothing happens. I did not install or uninstall anything prior to this. I was burning CDs in Windows Media Player, it was cancelling the CDs about halfway through. So I put it up to look at it later. When I took it back out, all I got was a black screen. I just ordered the System Recovery CDs through HP, but nothing happens when I put them in either. They spin and sound like it's loading, but I still just get the black screen. No function keys work either, not F8, F9, or F11. I really don't think it's a problem with the screen, just wondering what I should try next. Thanks

Black screens on my TBD !!

I am getting sporadic black screens on my Thunderbolt display connected to a 2013 mac mini (2.3GHz, Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 OS X 10.8.4). All the firmware for the display and mini are up to date. Anyone know a fix for this?

Killer NIC with ASUS R9 290 black screen issues

Hi there,
I've just set up a gaming system with the B85-G43 Gaming board and an ASUS R9 290 (oc r9290-dc2oc-4gd5) and I've stumbled across a strange problem. Within 5 minutes I get a black screen and the only way to get out of it is to reset my computer. It freezes, but doesn't stop working immediately.
So... I've been testing with W7, W8 and W8.1 and no difference. Until... I shut down my network card and no black screens anymore. Also, when I disable my R9 290 in the device manager there are also no black screens anymore. So I should search it in the combination. I've installed all the newest drivers, but no luck.
Has anyone come across the same issue and how did you solve this? I'm getting really frustrated about it...
Thanks for your help guys!

There is no chance this will work together.
Radeon R9-290 - 31A and a 550W psu minimum
Test stronger power supply. And that might be why you also have issues with other things like in this case, Killer NIC
Ok I've tested your suggestion and replaced the PSU with a cooler master G750M 750 Watt.
Exactly the same problem. I keep getting black screens as soon as I log into windows and the radeon drivers are kicking in. When i disable the radeon drivers: no black screens at all. As soon as i re-enable them: black screen...
Anyone have any other suggestions. Currently I've RMA'd my Asus R9 290. Maybe it'll help but I don't have any confidence....
Thanks!

Black Screen in Facetime

My facetime connects and I can see the other person perfectly. However, they only see a black screen from me. I have checked my camera and it is working fine.

Hi Alex,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I understand, the Camera app on your iPhone 5 won’t take photos or video but you can use the cameras with FaceTime. The article below provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll help you isolate the issue to hardware or software, and setup service if it’s needed.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps,
-Jason

Whenever I swap to another application from Facetime during a call, I get a black screen when I return to Facetime and I am forced to end the call by hitting the Sleep/Wake button. Help!
