Brand New-- It's on but I can't see a thing....HELP!!

I just got a refurbished iBook in the mail tonight. Before turning it on I installed an airport extreme card. Apparently that was a mistake, because the computer won't turn on. Well--I suppose it does- when I press the volume keys, I can hear it. But the screen is black and I can't see anything. I've tried taking out the airport card, restarting it, resetting the PRAM and booting it up with a software CD inside. Please Help!!!

Contact the seller. Since you didn't turn it on before installing the AirPort Extreme card, you don't know if it was acting this way when it arrived or not.

    Try holding a flashlight up to the screen to see if anything is on it. If there is, then its likely that the backlight is not working. If that is the case call Applecare asap and let them know about the problem.

  • I created a new playlist on iTunes but I can't see it on my iPhone?

    I created a new playlist on iTunes but I can't see it on my iPhone?
    This is iPhone 6 latest OS version

    Hi ik-graphics,
    So you synced a new playlist to your iPhone but it isn't available on the phone?
    When you synced the playlist to your iPhone with iTunes, did you have the music set to sync the Entire music library or Selected playlist…?
    3.  Select the Sync checkbox, then select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
    If you had it set for Selected playlist, please make sure the new one is selected to sync.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen turn solid blue. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Help please!

    Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen display solid blue color. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Opening programs, nor hitting any shortkey makes the display work again, so I have to shut down.
    I am using Macbook pro, OS 10.6.8, 4 GB memory, 2 ghz intel processors i7. This has happened about 6 times in the last 3 months. Seems to be getting more frequent. Sometimes happens after using Netflix streaming video, sometimes after browsing sites that don't play video. I frequently use Pandora, but have Firefox set to dump cache, memory, etc. after each use.

    Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
    If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage.  If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash.

  • I dropped my iphone 4S and the screen is black. i can still hear the key sound but i can't see a thing.

    My iphone 4s was dropped and i cant see a thing but still can hear the sound of the keys...

    I would try restarting
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
    If that doesnt do it take the phone to an apple store and have it assessed

  • Nokia 6300 Broken Screen (can't see a thing) help ...

    Hi guys.
    I've got a Nokia 6300 and the screen broke the other day and I'm unable to see a thing. I can still use the phone though (blindly of course)
    I'd like to transfer my numbers from my phone to my sim and to be able to do this without being to see.
    So if someone could help me with shortcuts? I think I can press the menu key, then some numbers (am i right?) rather than up down etc etc.
    Any help would be really really appreciated as i'm stuffed without a phone at the moment!
    Thanks so much!
    Charlie

    once in main menu, i cant just go to any sub menu by pressing a number key, i have to use directional pad to go to CONTACTS, in there, press UP, (go to the last selection)it's COPY CONTACTS, an other UP, it's MOVE CONTACTS,
    choose either one, once in, you have two option, first: FROM PHONE TO SIM, 2nd: FROM SIM TO PHONE, if u select the first one, it asks : move contacts? press center to answer YES, and wait, it may takes a while, i did with 60 contacts, in about 20 seconds.
    by default, in grid mode, the upper center icon is the contacts.

  • TS3274 I updated to ios7 on my ipad and the screen went black and willnot turn back on. I can hear Siri when I press the homebutton to activate that but I can't see any thing.

    is anyone else experiencing this problem? what do I do to fix it? I can't revert back to 6.... HELP!

    Try Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • After installing 3.6.9 update, none of my plugins are working now. not one...why?everything is still installed and it didn't say that it's incompatible with my version of firefox but i can't see a thing..no foxtab, no script, etc...

    after installing the update (3.6.9), all of my plugins are not working anymore...not a single one!

    One of the files that stores details on installed add-ons may be corrupt. Try removing the files to see if that helps. Firefox will re-create the files and in the process re-build the list of installed extensions and themes. For details of how to do that see the section on corrupt extension files in the [[Unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.

  • MacPro starts up, but I can't see anything

    Started having issues with Photoshop CS2 not wanting to startup. I would have to shutdown and kill the power. When I would restart I could hear it but not see it. I would restart once more and everything would be fine.
    About a week ago, the problem stopped. Then it started back this morning - with a vengeance. Now, I nothing I do helps. I've tried different monitors, unplugging periperals, the works. But I can't see a thing.
    Could it be the graphics card?

    Add me to the list. I'm posting to all threads in the hope that Apple will pay attention. This has to be a firmware issue.
    The problem is that four times out of five, the Mac boots to a black screen.
    I believe the computer is booting all the way up, because I have the front power button set to put the computer to sleep, and when I manually power down the machine using the power button, the Mac will go to sleep first.
    Also, the Mac will go into Firewire disk mode when connected to my MacBook.
    My setup:
    MacPro 2008, 8-core 2.8
    14 GB RAM
    ATI 2600
    Here's what I've tried:
    Reinstalling and updating OS both 10.5 and 10.6
    Diskwarrior
    PRAM zap
    Pulling all USB and firewire peripherals off the computer -- Mac promptly booted to black screen, so peripherals are not the issue.
    I have tried booting to the Apple Hardware Test on my commercial Leopard DVD and Snow Leopard DVD, but the machine will not boot to this (these disks will boot the AHT on other Macs). I no longer have the original CDs that shipped with the Mac.
    I've suspected the video card, but according to posts, apparently this is not the cause.
    Before this, the Mac Pro was having a related issue pertaining to VMWare Fusion, wherein the Mac would occasionally not wake from sleep, logging a VMWare Fusion kernel crash.
    For the moment, I'm not shutting down the Mac Pro, just turning off the Cinema Display.

  • Bought brand new Toshiba A500 laptop, but no Windows 7-64 CD/DVD

    Bought brand new Toshiba A500 laptop, but no Windows 7-64 CD/DVD's came with it, just the programs installed on the computer. Since I have been a long-time Dell customer, where all programs installed also come with various CDs/DVDs, I am rather surprised, especially when you consider that I bought a complete Win 7 Utl OS. Where are the discs? For me this can be a future deal breaker. Is Toshiba so confident that their machines will never need to see an OS disc?

    they havent put the discs in with there products for a few year now. there is a recovery partition on the hard drive you can use for a recovery. they also have a program called recovery media creator on your laptop to make your own recovery media. it is a way that if people dont make the recovery media you have to call and order some and toshiba gets another $25 for the user. there is a section in your users guide( search users guide in start menu) about page 60 shows how to recover from partition.
    hope that helps
