Blank screen after disabling primary and secondary monitor on Satellite A

Hello,
I tried to connect an LCD on my laptop, at the first place i went control panel -- display -- settings -- advanced -- monitor -- properties -- Device usage: disable!!
That enabled the secondary LCD screen but the most stupid thing is that when I wanted to return back to my laptop screen I followed the same procedure with the LCD screen.
The result is that now both are blank. The laptop's screen turns into blank as soon as starts to load windows. Fn+F5 combination didn't help. I also tried to enter windows in Safe mode but it was not possible.
Does anybody have any ideas???
PLEASE.
Thanks

During booting in the safe mode the notebook loads only a common drivers and it should be able to see something on the screen.
But if its not possible and you are not able to get the display back on the internal screen then I assume you need to boot form the recovery CD and to reinstall the OS :(
The new installation should overwrite all display settings and the notebook should works.

Windows 8.1 screen bounces between primary and secondary monitors

I have a Lenovo T530 laptop with a docking station and a IBM monitor L200P attached to it.
Up until yesterday, this configuration was running Windows 8 Pro with no issues.
However today, after I installed the Windows 8.1 upgrade, I started having problems with the screen bouncing between the primary and secondary monitors without my intervention. The problem happens very regularly, regardless of whether I have selected the laptop as primary monitor or the IBM monitor attached to the docking station.
I verified that the problem does not happen with Windows 7 and Windows 8 installation and only starts appearing after the Windows 8.1 upgrade is applied.
Does anybody have similar problems
Thank you in advance.

<blockquote>
another thing you could try is this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''.
double-click it and change its value to '''1.2''' (or any other zoom factor that fits your purpose: 1.0 relates to 100%, 1.2 equals 120% and so on; -1.0 is the default value and will adhere to the system settings).
</blockquote>
Okay, I tried it, set it to 1.2 and even more stuff got blurry and fuzzy. Besides everything in the FF menu bar everything in the header on youtube and a few other pages did it too. It did make the pages fill the actual page better, but the blur is worse than this prob so I set it back to -1.0.
Any other ideas?

Expose activates on both primary and secondary monitor corners

Hi all
I am using a dual monitor setup. Laptop screen as primary and a vga monitor for secondary running though a minidisplay to vga adapter. This is setup as an extended desktop. The 3 corners of the primary monitor and 2 corners of the secondary monitor can activate my expose settings.
I would think that using an a dual monitor extended desktop setting will allow you to activate expose, through 2 corners of the primary and 2 corners of the secondary assuming they are arranged as side by side screens.
Is this bug that we are waiting for a fix or is this something unique on my side?

Blank screen after full update and reboot

As it is now, it goes to the point during boot, right before the resolution gets set to the right value, before I get a blank screen (no input to screen).
I have reinstalled several times, and tried a few different configurations. After all these attempts, I have practically memorized everything. This is what I do:
Setup is finished, and I reboot the computer.
# reboot
The computer reboots and I login to root.
# pacman -Sy
# rm -rf /var/run /var/lock; pacman -S filesystem --force
# pacman -S tzdata
# pacman -S pacman
# pacman-key --init; pacman-key --populate archlinux
I switch to the second terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F2) and create a user
# useradd bompi
# passwd bompi
I write the password. Twice.
# cd /home
# mkdir bompi
# chown bompi bompi
I then log in and out of the different users and echo random stuff until the key is generated. I then switch back to the first console and say yes to everything the key thing asks.
At this point, I can reboot just fine. It isn't until the next bit I get trouble.
# rm /etc/profile.d/locale.sh; pacman -Syu; mkinitcpio -p linux
Everything completes, no problem. I then reboot (shutdown -r now) and run into the earlier described problem.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I didn't know about the adduser script, but wouldn't the chown command fix the permissions? I did it this way in a virtual machine and got it working pretty good.
However, I don't think this has anything to do with the issue I am having. The main reason I made the user when I did, was so I had something to do to while the keys got generated. I never used the user except for a quick login to test.

PC fails to reboot and shows blank screen after automatic windows updates including SP

Pavilion- a1130n" WINXP ProfessionalC fails to reboot and shows blank screen after automatic install ing windows updates including SP 3

I would love to say that a refresh worked for me however it did not.It takes about 30 Minutes total I was able to trace part of the issue to a Registry Key that was tagging the processor. Because my BIOS manages its own temp gauge and windows is trying to
build on in I had to turn the BIOS one off as well as for some reason I get better funtionality with Visualization off.
I am still dealing with a lag but I was able to get ride of the freeze that made the computer completely useless.

P965 Neo-f - primary and secondary ide channel stops working after changing gpu

I just changed my graphic card from 4850 to 4870x2 and then my idd devices stopped working, and when I look in device manager the primary and secondary ide channel has a yellow exclamationmark over them. And the error msg is as follow: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
And when I look on the tab resources the two I\O range tabs have a red cross like over them probably meaning there is something wrong. And in the column Conflicting devies list: Input/Output Range 01F0 - 01F7 not available.
Input/Output Range 03F6 - 03F6 not available.
What I have tried so far:
Updating the bios, looking for I\o range crashes and irq crashes, uinstalling and reintalling severals times. And when I change back to my old 4850 card the problems disappears straight away.
Any ideas?

Well reality says something different :D
And a reinstall fixed the problem. I find this post very amusing.
Ill bet your graphics doesnt even use its full potential on that board.
Me thinks it severly limited by the board and the cpu and imo a waste of a good graphicscard/money.
Its better to use only 2 slots of mem because of the strain you put on your memorycontroller when using 4 slots.
When running " double dualchannel" the memorycontroller can be overflooded when running too high mem.speeds, with errors and BSOD and crashes as a result.

Blank screen after plugging in HDMI

Hi,
I connected my laptop to my TV with a HDMI cable (which I've used many times before) but nothing came up on the TV, so I clicked on the display settings using F4 and chose the duplicate option. At this point my laptop screen went completely blank and I cannot get it back.
I've tried replacing the battery as well as win + P and nothing has worked. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi @Vicstar84
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are getting a blank display after using F4 and selecting the duplicate option. I am happy to help.
My first recommendation would be to try to do a hard reset on the notebook. See the following:
Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
Other than that you can try this, if the display does not come back.

Here are some other sources I found that may be helpful to you.

Blank Screen after Hibernate

Hi,
On my DV6-3085 I sometimes power up by opening the lid and get a blank screen after a few seconds.
The screen will say Starting Windows, flash and then go blank. At this point the finger print scanner is still working and responds but you cannot obliviously see anything.
I fairly suspicious this happens after the laptop has not been used for a little while (overnight) after a lid close, so the Sleep light has stopped flashing and the laptop is in hibernate mode.
My guess is it is something to do with switching graphics adapters. I've not yet decided if plugging the power in first does or does not make a difference or being on battery or AC when the lid was closed.
I've got the latest drivers according to the HP driver update utility.
Anyone with the same problem or have a solutions?
Thanks,
Dean.

Magic Mouse Primary and Secondary Clicks Switched

Recently I picked up a Magic Mouse and have since found some very strange things that I don't know how to fix:
The primary and secondary clicks are switched. As in, under mouse settings when I select the secondary click to be on the right, only the primary click works on the right side and everything else is a secondary click. It is also very annoying because every time I have more than one finger touching the surface it counts as a secondary click. If anyone knows how to fix this I would really appreciate feedback.
I looked around in settings and couldn't find anything regarding this matter. I fiddled with some stuff but never got it working properly.
Feedback much appreciated!
--Justin

Looking at another thread in this forum, I see some people who had older apple mice installed before the magic mouse are having this problem with the magic mouse.
I had an older wireless mouse that would take right-clicks before I set up the magic mouse. Unfortunately when I connect the older wireless mouse I can no longer access it's preferences. It only gives me the preferences a generic one button mouse. Somewhere there must be some set of files I can delete and it will forget this old mouse.
I am pretty disheartened after a week of this. One of the benefits to a mac is that I shouldn't have to dig around removing drivers and such

SAP BPC 10.0 Web Client Blank Screen after login

Hi ALL,
We are using SAP BPC 10.0 Web Client with Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.214 with IE 9.0 on Windows 7.0.
We face strange error where on only on certain PC, the BPC web client working.. On other getting Blank/Blank Screen after login (with "movie not loaded" on the adobe flash player).. Both PCs are having the same setting.
Even one of PC which previously working, starting this week suddenly getting the same error.. I have created OSS message and got feedback with also share this problem on this forum.
I have done several actions as mentioned on several SAP notes )1624267, 1664889, 1681147, 1694871, 1752971, 1798336, 1804221, 1806371, 1811218, 1820505, 1918631, 1968584), but still no luck..
If you have the same issue, kindly share..
Thanks and regards,
Hery

Yes .. Compatibility View also checked.. in several PCs, it is working well. both failed and working PCs have the same setting.
Just found another weird: in one working PC, 2 different windows local-admin users login to the same PC for BPC-web and getting different result (1 Ok ; 1 failed) ..seems it is related with the user profile and login-domain servers (we have multiple login-domain servers with load balancing mechanism).
Thanks and regards,
Hery

ITunes U course published but I can't see my school in the Primary and Secondary Schools list

I don't know how to contact the responsable of the iTunes U administration to send an email and change the name of my school.
I want to change Villaviciosa De Odón - Colegio Pax-Casvi into "Eurocolegio Casvi". Anyway, even my organization has been approved for courses publishing, I can't find the name of my school at the list of iTunes U "Primary and Secondary" schools.
If I go to https://itunesu.itunes.apple.com/audit/633264363, the course is in the iTunes U.

you might want to check on this possibility:

I took the iPod to the local Apple shop. The guy put the iPod onto a docking station and checked it - answer "connections are OK". I have used the link before but have not gone through all its suggestions (although picked on the most relevant ones). I may have to go back. Thanks again for your suggestions
