Computer screen is Blank

Hi,
I have a Lenovo Idea K210 Desktop; it shut down about 2 days ago with a Blank screen (nothing boots up)
My son said he hit the side of the tower with a chair leg by accident and it went black after.
What can I do to fix it? Much thanks
Frank

I have read that the K-series have RAM that can become loose or were not properly seated into the slot at the factory.. Maybe your son hit it loose. Good luck.

Connecting iphone makes computer screen go blank

I've had my iPhone for a few months. Initial syncing worked fine. As soon as I tried to sync it a second time with upgrades, new messages, new apps etc already on the iPhone, it didn't acknowledge the iPhone in iTunes, and made the computer screen go black. It does this every time I connect the iPhone.
Went to an Apple sales place, who restored the phone to factory settings, went home, synced fine. Again, next time I tried with all new stuff on the phone already, blank screen.
Weird thing is, my iPod touch works fine on both this and another computer. iPhone has this issue on one computer (where all my photos and other stuff is) but not the other. It's almost like my Toshiba computer and iPhone hate each other!
Any ideas on how to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and also stopping and restarting the ADMS(?)....

Hello mcroland,
What make / model computer are we working with? What operating system?
Anytime I hear of a computer screen going blank after running for an extended period of time my first thought is going to be heat.
Open up your system and check it and ensure all fans are working properly and it is cleaned out. Remove all dust bunnies and thoroughly clean the inside of the computer with compressed air.
Especially check any fans that may be located on or around the video card.

Computer Screen going blank and computer not responding

I have had a problem when in the middle of doing something my computer screen goes blue and all you can do is power it down. Any suggestions??

That didn't work. On trying to install a new driver I got the error the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Is there anything else that can be done to at least prevent the hanging of the computer even if it means less features from Firefox being available?

I cannot open my facebook page- the print is too tiny- it's shrunk on computer screen so small that i can't read or respond

My Facebook page shrunk on computer screen. Now it is so small - the majority of the computer screen is blank white- that i can't read, write or use any of the features on Facebook. How can i restore Facebook pages to the full screen.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== THis morning when i was typing a message on Facebook.

Which add-on did you install that shows you the percentage for page zoom?
The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox and there's no display of zoom %.
Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

My computer screen keeps going blank and then going back to the box where I put my password in to start my comp. Why is this happening?

My computer (Macbook) was working fine this am. I left it for an hour and then came back and the screen was black (always does that as the screensaver hardly ever works). I moved the mouse to wake it up and everything was normal. I went to adjust the volume and the screen went blank and the main page with the box where I put my password in when I first start my comp appeared. I put my password in and everything was normal again. I opened a window in Safari and before it loaded completely the same thing happened, the screen went blank and went back to the password box. Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't have an external hard drive or any blank flash drives so I can't back anything up right now and am afraid I'm going to lose everything. Thank you

Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement. Not much else for troubleshooting here. Sorry.

I was using my MacBook Pro Mid-2010 and then the screen went blank, I did a hard restart and went to restart again and it won't startup. The white light comes on and then the computer kinda "clicks" off!

The iPad is stuck in recovery mode from iOS upgrade. Screen is blank and connecting it to my computer will not change the ststus. Any help would be appriciated.

While updating the iOS version on my iPad it entered Recovery Mode. The screen is blank and I can not get it to complete the recovery process. I have tried several times using both a MACBook and a Windows 7 based computer running the latest iTunes program. Is there anything I can do other than to send it to Apple repair?

It has been remotely locked by the owner, or by someone who knows the owner's Apple ID and password.

Dv7 3185dx- BIOS for 2 seconds, computer stays on, screen go blank

I've been looking at other posts for this problem and haven't seen one.
The screen obviously is working because it come on for the 2 seconds (tried to hook up a 2nd moniter and it has blank to.)
I changed the internal battery (CR2032)
I tried all the function keys and nothing??
The laptop is about 3 years old and used only a few times a week
I've got 6 dead HP laptops (no kidding) from over heating motherboards (parts??). This is different however.
Any advise would be great!!

Thanks for the advise.
I followed your instructions
"Immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup menu opens"
The screen remains dark, startup didn't open, computer shut down.
Now when I press the power button the BIOS doesn't visually flash. The screen stays blank, the panel lights go on and 15secs later the computer turns off??
I called the HP number (Saturday) and was put on hold for over a half hour. The tech asked a bunch of questions, then asked for model number and serial number. She told me that the computer (purchased in 2009) is obsolete and they do not support (or have parts) for anything over 4 years old. Why was she asking my story? She said I can try a computer store. I asked what a computer store would do if the manufacturer doesn't have the parts needed fo a repair. She said some may still have parts but if they don't try another store?? (more time!!)
ADVISE: PLEASE WARN THE CUSTOMER ABOUT THE > THAN 4 YEAR POLICY... SOMEWHERE ON THE WEBSITE, ANSWERING SERVICE. MY TIME WAS WASTED AS WAS HP'S?
Thanks for trying!

My computer turns on, but the screen is blank. The backlight turns on, but the screen is still black. HELP!

My computer turns on and the light at the botton is on, but the screen is blank. I have tried pressing every button, turning it on/off, and also pressing the mouspad.

I have the same problem, the start up sound plays through the speakers but nothing on the screen

Computer telling me to restart, then screen going blank randomly afterwards

Hi, my computer was recently updated to a Snow Leopard, and today I was on a website I frequesnt playing a flash based MMO when the screen darkens and a little black box appears saying "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button
for a few seconds or press the Restart button."
I did restart, and went back to the website, but left the MMO alone. After a few minutes, the screen went completly white and I again had to restart.
The MMo is not a downloadable thing, so I doubt that was the problem.
This is not the first time my screen has blanked on me (usually I get the black screen), but this is the most frequent, and the first time I have gotten the little black box and the white screen

Hi rKraynick;
It sounds like you are having kernel panics. These are generally caused by hardware problems, most usually RAM.
If you open Console and look at the error under the heading PanicReporter. This may give you a clue to what is happening. If you are unable to read them then post them here.
