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.
Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot
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.

  • Laptop only coming up with a blank screen after set-up?

    Ok, so. My parents bought me a brand new hp laptop for christmas. On christmas day i went through the whole set-up process and did all the steps it told me to do. When i'd been through all the steps, i got a loading symbol and ever since, all it comes up with is a blank, black screen and a mouse icon that i can move. I'm not 100% sure of the model though (appologies). What do i need to do??
    Cheers

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Blank screen after KitKat update

    I just completed the KitKat update on an Ellipsis 7 tablet that's connected to Verizon's network, but now I'm only getting a blank screen after the welcome screen displays. Fyi: the first part of this update went smoothly. Can anyone can help me resolve this issue? I really like this tablet and use it everyday.

    I contacted Verizon support and a couple of techs attempted to walk me through alternate boot methods. However, as bassclarinetl2 noted, "pressing the power button to turn the device off results in the device powering up by itself and both 'safe mode' and 'factory reset' are inaccessible via their button combinations." Therefore, I'm sending my tablet in to be repaired or replaced under warranty. Depending on how long you've had your Ellipsis 7 tablet, you may be able to do the same.
    Incidentally, I have another (seemingly) identical Ellipsis 7 tablet and was able to successfully install the KitKat upgrade on this second tablet, which I'm using now. The sooner Verizon determines why the upgrade worked on one tablet and not the other, the better.

  • Blank Screen after switching HDMI

    I've been using and enjoying ATV2 for at least a month now. My TV has only two HDMI ports so I share one of them for DVD and ATV2. Last night for the first time I switched back to DVD and this morning switched the cable back to ATV2 again and now I get a blank screen. I've read through the manual and tried the suggestions and they didn't help. The situation is this:
    When I force a reset from the remote the ATV2 status light blinks rapidly after 6 seconds and when I release the buttons it blinks slowly for about 15 seconds and then stays on. The screen stays blank (except for Sony telling me which input is enabled, of course).
    The light responds to any remote button with a single blink but the screen stays black.
    I can press the Menu button over and over but the screen stays blank
    I have checked the HDMI cable and removed it and reconnected it and it is definitely connected between the TV and ATV2 properly.
    The TV is definitely turned on and set to the input for DVD/ATV2.
    My iMac has iTunes open and there are no complaint messages on iTunes.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I'm humiliated to report that I had the cables switched btw TV and DVD/ATV2. How dumb.
