Black Screen On ZBook 15 G2 - The Shared SPI Flash was recovered from Embedded Controler Flash

Hi
I have just bought a HP Zbook 15 G2 (1day old), PN K3C12PA a off the shelf unit (CPU 4910MQ, GPU 2100K, Z Turbo Drive SSD, QHD+ screen, RAM 32GB)
This unit comes with the 256 GB HP Z Turbo Drive (PCIe SSD) I used the supplied disk to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8.1,
now the unit will randomly black screen, I can hear the fan and unit seems to still be on, the only way to recover is to turn of the power via the main powder button.
Fault 1
Upon reboot white screen appears with "The Shared SPI Flash was recovered from Embedded controller Flash" with the title "Embedded Controller Recovery"
I'm not able to repeat the fault just seems to be random.
Fault 2
The mouse pointer hangs and will take 30-Sec to unhang, task manager show little or no use / load.
twice the unit as frozen and required a on / off / on rests as no keyboard or track pad input would work.
I'm not able to repeat the fault just seems to be random.
Any ideas?
Regards
Antony

Hello HP-ZBook-User,
I am sorry to hear you are having problems with your laptop. Since you have upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7 there maybe an issue with your graphics driver as you have experienced hang ups. You can try to update all drivers using the HPSA utility. This will scan your notebook and will detect any drivers that maybe out of date or did not successfully install.

Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Now try a video.

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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Did anything happen to prior to your phone acting this way? It sounds like your screen is dead, but it is hard to say without knowing what what the cause.
1) was this a gradual problem? Did the phone screen start dimming a couple months ago and now has degraded or after some event (known or unknown to you), the phone started behaving this way.
2) Can you give more specifics on the problem? You said you have a black screen, but also you can see what you're doing on screen. Is the screen just really dim? Is the screen completely black? Does anything else besides attempting to reset the device cause it to flash white?

iPad 2 has a black screen which lights up to a grey black screen when I press the power or home button but I dont see the apple logo. The battery is fully charged and when I plug it in to my computer, I can use iTunes to do everythng except backup the iPad since its passcode locked. Please help me resolve this problem.

Yup! I've been there! You just have to double-tap the screen with three fingers and the zoom should go back. You have to turn off the feature in Settings>Accessibility>Zoom>and turn the switch off so this won't happen again when you double-triple tap.

try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

The principle is the same...

Our ipad 1 goes to a black screen periodically when using the internet.

Our iPad 1 goes to a black screen periodically when using the internet. We have to hit the home button and hope we end up back at the site we were previously at. We have updated the iPad, but it still happens. Any suggestions on a solution?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

I used an upgrade from a different phone to purchase a new iPhone. How do I assign that phone its original number (not the one that it was upgraded from)?

Phone number of the device is assigned by the carrier.
Ask the carrier.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you mean you deleted the files from Pages on your phone whilst using iCloud, then yes they will disappear from Pages on your iPad too.
If you simply deleted the app from your phone, if you were using iCloud then they should not have disappeared from your iPad.
It's not clear from your post, which of these you did.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

Warning: The disabled test "SomeTest" was removed from the test run.

Hello,
When I mark test with Ignore attribute, mstest show the next message: Warning: The disabled test "SomeTest" was removed from the test run. And I don't want to see this warning.
The question is: Is there any option to hide this warning, turn it off.
Sincerely,
Alex

Hi Alex,
I think I could repro this issue. For the Ignore attribute, it would share us this warning message by design when we run it in MsTest.exe.

N8 black screen after updated to the new version 0...

Hello everyone, how are you doing?
My Nokia N8 stop working at all, as it just gives me a little bit vibration when I push power bottom and nothing occurred on the screen its black screen. That’s happen after I made update for the software using Nokia software update, but in the middle of the operation I got an error message “update can’t completed” …
So please advise me with your experience.
R,
Amr

Was it an OTA or Ovi Suite update? Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the power button for at least 8 seconds until the phone buzzez 3 times in quick succession. Then try restarting your phone again.
Another thing you could try if your initial update attempt was through OTA is to try connecting and updating your phone using Ovi Suite.
If that does not work then you may need to hard reset your phone but there are various issues with that at the moment, such as losing your data uinless you have a backup and other options such as the lost of some functionality which at the moment can only be restored by reinstalling Qt or by a Nokia Care Point.
