Blank screen after upgrade fiasco

I got a G3 IMac given to me that wasn't booting. It would come up to a flashing question mark so I surfed the net looking for a solution. I was told to reinstall the OS but I didn't have a copy so I tried my copy of panther. As it was loading I continued to surf and came across a comment about upgrading the OS without upgrading the firmware ... oops. I tried to stop it but it was too late , the damage was done. I tried the pram thing, tested the battery- it's good. I tried booting with the right OS disk ( got a disk from a friend to try) but still a black screen.
Pushing the power button with the OS disc in - I get the starting tone and the cd drive sounds like it is accessing the disc but I see nothing. I took the bottom off and removed the battery and reset the little red button once. I would connect an external monitor but this Imac has no external connecter. What can I do to get this this going?
It is a G3 Imac with a CRT 350mhz 64mg 6gig slot load cd.
Help!

Hi wlsctrc and welcome to Apple Discussions,
First DO NOT RESET PRAM!
Read this:

and see if any of those workarounds work.

  • Black Screen After Upgrading to Windows 8

    Hi
    I'm experiencing a black screen after upgrading a Dell N5050 B890 to Windows 8.
    Tried to refresh the installation but the problem persited. re-installed the Windows 8, the machine logged in successfully but the problem arose again after reboot.
    Urgent assistance needed 

    This problem is solved...
    I guess the problem is concerned with the display module controller in the BIOS which is having a slight compatibility issue with windows 8.
    This issue is solved by updating the BIOS of your Laptop/PC to the latest version. You can download the latest BIOS from the website of the Laptop company/Motherboard Company. 
    But for updating the BIOS, you have to start your computer/Laptop for at least one time in Normal Mode. So here are the steps to do so... 
    1) Boot the Laptop/PC.
    2) After the boot screen (The Circle Animation & Windows 8 logo), you will be presented by the lovely & awesome blank screen.
    3) Wait for 1 minute so that drivers load into the memory.
    4) Press the Power button of your laptop/PC for only a moment (Just Press and release it quickly. Don't hold. We don't want to shut down).
    5) This will force the laptop/PC to go into Sleep mode.
    6) When the laptop/PC goes in sleep, the laptop fan & other sounds will stop.
    7) After 4-5 seconds, press the power button again & release it quickly.
    8) Voilllaa!!! The laptop/PC starts & you are presented with the lock screen. Now..... Login! What are you waiting for! :P  
    This is not the permanent solution. It just lets you start you Laptop/PC.
    After updating the BIOS, I strongly suggest that you must download the latest graphics driver for your Computer/Laptop to avoid any further issues.

  • 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 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.

  • 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,
