Cq56 240ca no audio reboot to blank screen

No audio device installed also no boot up when I restart.had to turn power off then on to get display.

Hi oneil,
I understand you are having an issue with the audio on your Compaq Presario CQ56-240CA Notebook and that you had a boot issue as well. I suggest Troubleshooting Audio Problems with External Speakers, Headphones, and HDMI Sound Devices.
Here is a link to different sound issues you may be experiencing, this would allow you to choose the most appropriate document based on the description of the title and the details of the issue, in case the one I chose for you does not resolve the issue.
From what you described you got the computer to boot after it wouldn't, if you ever have a boot issue refer to computer wont boot or blank screen.
Hope this helps.

GT70 2OC Bios update went bad, blank screen on boot

Hi,
I want to update my laptop's bios, model being MSI GT70 2OC - 065US. When I went to MSI driver download site, there were two different bios files for download.
Version 517 for UEFI None RAID SKU and version 717 for UEFI RAID0 SKU. My Laptop has one hard disk and other sata slot for hdd is empty. I am confused whether which BIOS file should I use for my laptop. Please help.
Thanks.
UPDATE
I tried to update BIOS using version 517 file. I was following procedure given in pdf manual. I followed every step as per manual. Laptop asked permission to reboot as suggested in manual. But after reboot only blank screen is appearing and only fan is working, no other activity is there.
Kindly help.

Power on/off your laptop. If the laptop does the same then you have to send it back for RMA.

7961G-GE stuck in constant reboot with a blank screen

Hi all,
I just bought a used 7961G-GE and attempted to implement it into my current running CME environment. For some reason my 7961G-GE is constantly rebooting with a blank screen upon receiving power from my 3550 switch. I currently have 2 7940's and a 7961G that have registered without any issues. I tried to debug tftp event's on my router to see if at least my 7961G-GE was able to contact the TFTP server but I get no results at all. I also did a dhcp bindings check and it looks like the 7961G-GE phone is unable to get an ip address either. I have the proper option 150 configurations as my other phones are able to reach the tftp server without any issues. I've also uploaded and tried firmware versions 8.2 through 8.5 and assigned the proper file to the load command. When I do a "more system:/its/vrf1/XMLDefault.cnf.xml" to see if the command was executed, it shows the correct file within the open and close tags of the proper load information tags. This is just really baffling to me because I'm getting no response at all when I try to debug the events with this phone with the exeception of it rebooting every few seconds with a blank screen. I do get an error message when I do the load command that says "
LOAD COMMAND ERROR:cnf-file location system is not supported,Plese use flash|slot0|tftpUpdating CNF files", but again, when I look at the XML files that all my phones request they all show the proper info within their tags including 7961G-GE.
Any pointer's as to why this is happening?
Thanks
-Jason

Maybe the unit was in the middle of a complete flash reset when the seller pulled the power. Normally a flash reset takes about, wait for it, an hour.

Blank screen after full update and reboot

As it is now, it goes to the point during boot, right before the resolution gets set to the right value, before I get a blank screen (no input to screen).
I have reinstalled several times, and tried a few different configurations. After all these attempts, I have practically memorized everything. This is what I do:
Setup is finished, and I reboot the computer.
# reboot
The computer reboots and I login to root.
# pacman -Sy
# rm -rf /var/run /var/lock; pacman -S filesystem --force
# pacman -S tzdata
# pacman -S pacman
# pacman-key --init; pacman-key --populate archlinux
I switch to the second terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F2) and create a user
# useradd bompi
# passwd bompi
I write the password. Twice.
# cd /home
# mkdir bompi
# chown bompi bompi
I then log in and out of the different users and echo random stuff until the key is generated. I then switch back to the first console and say yes to everything the key thing asks.
At this point, I can reboot just fine. It isn't until the next bit I get trouble.
# rm /etc/profile.d/locale.sh; pacman -Syu; mkinitcpio -p linux
Everything completes, no problem. I then reboot (shutdown -r now) and run into the earlier described problem.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I didn't know about the adduser script, but wouldn't the chown command fix the permissions? I did it this way in a virtual machine and got it working pretty good.
However, I don't think this has anything to do with the issue I am having. The main reason I made the user when I did, was so I had something to do to while the keys got generated. I never used the user except for a quick login to test.

My iMac has a blank screen with an icon showing a flashing question mark. I have rebooted and still nothing but that on the screen.

IPhone 4 crashed, blank screen, broken home button, and iTunes won't allow access unless I "respond with phone," how do I reboot or get my data off this phone?

The power button on my iPhone broke a few months ago, so I have been using the assisted touch feature to lock the screen. Last night, in the middle of using an app, the phone froze and nothing working except the assisted touch icon (I could use it and move it around). I locked the screen using this, which evidently was a mistake, because now I have a blank screen that won't respond to anything. When I connect the charger, the phone still makes the normal sounds and vibrations, but the screen is blank. I can't do a hard reboot without the power button. I recently bought a new computer, so today I downloaded iTunes, but iTunes wants me to "respond with the phone" in order to continue. How can I at LEAST upload my contacts, photos and video from this phone? Or is there a trick I can try to bring it back from this black screen that is non-responsive? And NO...I'm not interested in putting it in the freezer!!

Honestly the hard really right now to say what you can do. How long have you had the device? If it's under a year you can take it to apple store and they can switch it out for free. If it's over a year then it would be at a paid cost cause they can't fix that issue.
Hope this helps.

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.

Hi Darr4425,
That's not good! We definitely want your device to work properly at all times. What email application are you attempting to open? When did the issue start? Do you receive an error message when the application force closes?
Thanks,

SWF displaying as Black or Blank Screen only the video audio play. PLEASE HELP!!

Hello,
I have tried getting my videos to play and all I get is a black screen with audio only.
After I got a blank screen, I uploaded the .flv (2MB) and the swf files to the server as well (same folder as the .html file) but that didn’t help – same blank screen.
Can anyone help me understand why this .swf won’t play?
Please help!
Thank you in advance!

Hallo,

Works fine after it has been rebooted, have restored in safe mode, uninstalled updates....but have run put of ideas.
Would appreciate some help, thanks.

Hmmm. my notebooks screen was blank sometimes after wakeup from sleep mode.
But after new reboot everything was OK.
I searched a little bit in the forum and found some people who have recommended a BIOS and display driver update.
I did this and could solve my issue
I, not quite sure if this would be helpful but try this too
Its worth a try

Popular blank screen

Hello:
I'm trying to install in my laptop current version of archlinux (2012.11.01), my laptop has a intel chipset video with currently debian installed.
When I placed the cd and reboot, and I can see the boot options, when selecting "x86_64" option, I see some loading messages, later my laptop goes black
I can see my drive still loading and reading the CD, but the screen is black.
Googling around, I tryed the following kernel params, one by one:
acpi=off
noapic
nolapic
edd=on
nodmraid
nomodeset
and either, dump a "{DRDY} error" or blank screen
Question: Is there any other param should I tryied?
Note: I installed debian with netinstall with non-free software included...which the installation was correctly...maybe I need extra firmware?

I tried the following suggestions:
gma500_gfx.blacklist=yes
i915=0
i915.modeset=1
and same results
I can't access anything because all goes to blank, yes, I press all keys

Xorg blank screen

I seem to be at the end of my capabilities here...
After a system upgrade from 2.6.30->2.6.32 (latest). My X system completely stopped working. It actually caused the system to reboot.
Since I couldn't seem to fix it, I figured I might do a reinstall of the system since there was lots of remnant files over the years.
Now I have a completely new install and it still doesn't work.
I've tried the nv driver, nvidia, and the nvidia-96xx, nvidia-173xx.
I even tried the LTS kernel series and associated nvidia driver.
All to no avail.
Essentially Xorg detects everything, but displays a blank screen. It appears that the nvidia does start and on occasion i see the nvidia logo come up. However, it still sits there blank with and no xterm comes up. Also, sometimes X just sits at 100% cpu usage - depending on the config at the time. It would appear that somehow, Xorg gets stuck in some infinite loop or something.
Here is the output of xorg.log, http://htmlup.pawerty.com/index.php?pag … U9388E.txt
Here is the xorg.conf, http://htmlup.pawerty.com/index.php?pag … M.conf.txt
Here is the specs of the system:
2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 280 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Dual
-Dual Dual-core AMD 280
-Tyan K8WE mobo
-Dual Nvidia GF 7800GTX (not in sli - 4 screens attached)
-6gb ram
-Plenty of HD space (/ - 70gb, /home - 36gb)
-LVM2 and mdraid in use for /home and storage array
-I don't think theres anything else needed
Now on to what configs I tried and none work. All display a blank screen.
-nvidia-settings generated config
-Xorg generated config
-NV driver, nvidia, nvidia-173xx, nvidia-lts
-nvidia-96xx gave a segfault when running X
-tried nopat and nomodeset and noapic options
-updated bios
-kernel26-lts
I haven't tried the nouveau driver, but it doesn't support multicard and hence won't be usable in my case.

Not sure if this is related but, I also get this on occasion:

If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.

Tablet Only Showing Blank Screen

My tablet is not showing anything on the screen. Only the backlight is on, so the screen gets power. Pressing Windows button is vibrates the tablet. Holding the power button for 10 seconds shuts it off. A short press (like waking it up) lights the blank screen, sometimes the Front Camera blue LED light blinks like it probably should. No Audio.
I am scared. I saved money for two years, then two months ago I bought this tablet now It's just a brick. Bought outside the country. I knew it was a mistake for buying Toshiba as one year ago my Toshiba laptop motherboard died. Should have bought Dell Venue Pro.

Same happens to me.
The first time, I let the battery drain and when it was totally discharged, I plugged the tablet and it worked just fine.
And now it happened again! bad thing that now it is fully charge and I have to wait again to use it again... I hope.
Someone had a simmilar issue?
