Computer turns on but nothing appears on the screen

Hi,
I have had this desktop computer for about 2 years. I usually use it almost daily and turn it off at the end of the day. Every few months or so the computer would turn on but nothing would appear on the screen. I would have to hold the power button to turn it off then turn in on a couple times or wait until the next day and the computer would turn on and everything would appear on the screen and work perfectly. Last week, the computer once again turned on but nothing appeared on the screen, except this time, after a week, the computer will now turn on except there is still nothing appearing on the screen. I no longer hear the fans running, however, I hear everything else running as normal. I have unplugged and re-plugged in all the cords multiple times and still, nothing.
Please help! Thank you.

  • I have a Iphone 5c and the screen light open when I press a button but nothing appears on the screen and I can't do anything

    I have a brand new Iphone 5c since like 2 weeks ans just today this happened, Cell is full charge everything is good i'm using it and then put it in my pocket for about 1hour and when I pick it out it don't work anymore !! the screen doesn't work like it lights up when I press on any button but I can't see nothing the screen stay black and I can't do my code to unlock it or even answer a phone call !!

    You have voiceover on. First try tapping the home button three times fast to turn it off.
    If it is still on the gestures are different. You tap once to choose an item then double tap the item to activate it. Remember everything that was one tap is now tap then double tap. Start with the lock screen. Tap, then double tap your code. Swipe with two fingers to open, if the screen doesn't slide with two fingers try using three.
    Tap then double tap each of the following. Settings> general> accessibility> voiceover > off.
    Good luck.
    Edit. I'm not sure if you need two fingers to slide to unlock. Try with one finger. If that doesn't work try two.

    Try a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, if it doesn't "appear" but does restart, does it then turn on?
    If not, time to visit an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run some tests to see what is wrong.

  • My one month old laptop turns on but nothing appears on screen...help

    MMy laptop turns on but nothing appears on the black screen

    Try to launch your Mac in Safe mode by taking these steps:
    - Click on the Apple sign() at the upper left corner of the Desktop, select 'Shut down' from a drop-down menu;
    - Wait until your computer turns off, then press the Power button(⌽);
    - Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift(⇧) key. It should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone;
    - Release the Shift(⇧) key when you see a grey Apple sign() and the progress bar below;
    This will force the system to perform several maintenance routines and load essential system software.
    Once you've seen the Desktop
    - Open Disk Utility application:
    1. Click on Finder at the bottom of your Desktop;
    2. Select Applications folder from Finder's left sidebar and then open Utilities folder (or press Command(⌘)-Shift(⇧)-U), double-click on Disk Utility icon;
    - Choose your main hard drive from the left sidebar ('Macintosh HD', usually);
    - Click on 'Verify Disc' at the bottom right corner, your Mac will perform a diagnostic test. Click on 'Repair Disk' if prompted to fix problems, or follow instructions given on the Disk Utility window;
    - Once the routine finished, click on ""Verify Disc Permissions"", after it's done, click on 'Repair Disc Permissions';
    Wait until it will finish and restart your mac

  • Icloud cpanel for outlook starts, but nothing appears on the monitor. The process is running in the background.

    The process is running in the background. However nothing appears on the screen for you to alter your settings.
    I have windows 7 64-bit and outlook 2010.
    It was working, but just stopped after several months. I have un-installed and re-installed several times, to no avail.
    Please help.

    I have sorted it now, thank you.
    Re-installed older version of icloud, and then updated the software throught the apple software updater.
    This re-solved the issue.

    Hi, johann, maybe u can try hard resetting = press home button and sleep button at same time for over 5 seconds, if u see an apple logo then, the iPhone maybe can restart, then u can do a charge for yr iPhone.

  • TS1367 My charger connects with my macbook with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery.

    My charger connects with my computer with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery. The power source to keep it on is the power adapter and that it's "Not charging" on the battery settings. And my charger seems to charge other computers fine.
    The part of my mac where the adapter (L-shaped, magnetic) attaches is a bit damaged - a small piece of the white case/body around the part where the adapter attaches is broken off, but that's just an outer damage.
    I don't know what's wrong with my computer, and if anyone has had a similar experience or knows what's going on, it'd be tremendously helpful!
    Thank you!!

    Hi Christopher,
    Doubtful an upgrade would fix a hardware issue. If you are thinking of upgarding to Lion, best to do all necessary maintenance first.
    Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

  • When I plug in apple tv the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen

    When I plug in my apple tv (first gen) the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen.  The status light never turns white and won't stops blinking amber.  I've tried to over ride this with the remote, resetting it and trying to revert it to the factory settings.  Is there a way to wake it up or is it a lost cause?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The system looks like it's unable to start up, this could be software but more likely hardware, either way unless it will start up there is nothing a user can do to resolve this.

    Have you tried resetting your iPhone, press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider, then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing this.

  • I've been trying no update itunes 11.5 to iTunes 11.1.0 but this appears on the screen error NSURLErrorDomain -1102).(102

    I've been trying no update itunes 11.5 to iTunes 11.1.0 but this appears on the screen (error NSURLErrorDomain -1102).(102)

    I had the same thing. I quit the App Store app and tried it again and it worked... sort of. iTunes is telling me that I have the latest version of 11.1 installed, but I do not see the iTunes Radio button. Is it because this feature is not available in Canada yet?

  • TS1717 Apps store updates badge shows 3 updates but nothing appears in the window...??

    Apps store udates badge on my iPhone indicates 3 updates available but nothing shows in the window......anyone had this issue and what is the fix..?

    I have the same issue start yesterday. I called Apple as I believed the issue was with the App Store app update server. An Apple support rep confirmed I was correct. The issue now seems to have been resolved.
    I told Apple support rep that they should have issued an email to their App Store customers or placed a note on there website so the customers wouldn't waste their time trying to figure out what happened and/or waste time trying to fix an issue that they could never fix.
