HP LAPTOPS NOT TURNING ON OR BLACK SCREEN. FIX ENCLOSED

I placed this post in another thread, but it sounds like you have a damaged GPU.
I had this problem, but I have fixed it now. Fix below.
I have FIXED my misbehaving PC, and it is running better than ever!
I had the common problem that the GPU had overheated and had become unsoldered from the motherboard.
Here is how to fix it without spending hundreds of pounds/dollars!
Equipment/skills required...
*Small flat head electrical screwdriver
*Small Heat gun or jet lighter
*basic assembly knowledge of your laptop.
*know what a GPU is.
Firstly, strip the pc down to it's basic components, IE. screen, keyboard...
remove the motherboard and unscrew the heatsink from the board, leavint the CPU and GPU
exposed.
Remove the CPU from it's mount to prevent damage to it in the next step.
Surround  the GPU with kitchen foil, making sure not to cover it. (the foil dissipates heat and protects
the surrounding components)
now use a chef's style heat gun or jet lighter to heat up the GPU evenly, moving the flame in small circles, heating it up evenly. Spend about five minutes on this. (there is a covering of wax on the processor, don't worry about that...)
Remove the foil, but DO NOT throw it away! Fold a part of it up so it is approximately the same length and width as the chip on the GPU, but a little thicker. Put this folded foil onto the GPU to hold it there firmly when you put the heatsink back on. Place the heat sink and fan assembly back on the motherboard. If you cannot feel or see a pressure over the graphics processor unit, make the foil block a little thicker. make sure the foil is not touching any of the little capacitors or solder balls on the GPU. (you want to get lots of pressure with the foil. This will stop the graphics processor from coming loose again.
Put the entire pc back together and try it.
It worked well for me! 
Here's a link to the entire thread.

Have you tested your hard drive? Enter BIOS setup by tapping/holding the F10 key immediately after powering on the laptop.Use Diagnostics to test your hdd.
If you don't have Diagnostics in BIOS-try tapping Esc key immediately after powering on. From the menu that appears (hopefully) tap  F2 System Diagnostics.

    Hi,
    Try connecting your iPod to your computer and letting it charge.  It will take a while for iTunes to recognize it, if it is dead.  Once iTunes recognizes your iPod, try resetting it again. 
    Hope this helps!

    My brand new iPhone 4 is quitting apps unexpectedly, turning into a black screen and then restoring to home page. Restarting procedures didn't correct problem. Shall I follow full resetting instructions?

    Thanks for the straightforwardness roaminggnome - I wasn't sure if this problem qualified as deseving a reset. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't explain, your response remained undisclosed to me for a while, the next reply after yours took preference and I ended up doing as Meg St.Clair's susgested and initiated download, installation and syncing of Smartsync which is now taking ages to finish... If problem persists shall do the resetting and restoring.

    And then see if iTunes eses the iPod.

  • My ipod has a black screen and  will not turn on how can i fix it

    I have tried everything that i can to get my ipod to turn on.  It has a black screen and hasnt done anything atleast 2 weeks.  Please help.

    1. Can you get it to light up doing a hard reset and holding the buttons down for at least a minute?
    2. Is it charged up?
    3. Is the USB power cable good?
    4. Can you get iTunes to recognize using recovery or DFU mode?

  • Laptop not turning on

    Hi I have a HP Pavillion DV6- 3110SA . The issue I am having is that when I turn the laptop on the power button lights up however the screen remains black, nothing turns on the screen, however when I plug in the charger it responds and turns orange to show its charging. It makes the noise of turning on but does not show anything on the screen. Please can you advise how to solve this. I have lots of saved work on it which I need.

    Hi,
    Do a hard reset:
    http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01684768
    Remove the battery , but connect the AC adapter to power supply and power on. Check if it is working. What is the color of LED in power connector now?
    Please connect the notebook to an external monitor and power on, see if it glows up.

  • HT201263 MY IPHONE 5 WILL NOT CHARGE AT ALL AFTER THE BATTERY RAN OUT. ITUNES IS NOT PICKING UP THE IPHONE AND TRIED SEVERAL GENUINE CHARGERS AND STILL IS NOT CHARGING JUST A BLACK SCREEN. THE PHONE HASN`T BEEN DROPPED OR GOT WATER IN IT. IT ONLY 12 MONTH

    I have the Iphone 5, it is just over 12 months old, and it was low on charge, by the time I could get to a charger it had cut out. So i plugged it in the charger like no other time, went back after 10mins and noticed the screen was still black. So i tried to turn it on but nothing still black screen, i changed the charger for my other apple charger and the same thing happened. i decided to plug it in using the usb in the computer and still the same thing has happened. Took it to the apple genuis team to be told they can`t do anything, and now its out of its 12 months warranty makes it even more difficult. Has anyone else had this issue, this is my 4th iphone since they released them and am very dissappointed to say the least that the iphone 5 for me seems to have a life span on just over 12 months and no one is prepared to take any responsiblity as i have not damaged it. One extremely dissappointed Iphone user. Any ideas on how to get it working again?

  • ITunes Artwork Screen Saver Not Working. Empty black screen. Garbage collection, memory leak issue? ... malloc: auto malloc[]: attempted to remove unregistered weak referrer 0x ...

    Hey Smart Apples,
    My iTunes Artwork screen saver is not working. After reboot, then selecting iTunes Artwork in System Preferences, just a black screen appears in the preview, as well as when pressing Test, and when allowing the screen saver to start on it's own. The error message in Console says...

    The memory address location at the end of each line is different everytime I preview the screen saver.
    I've tried...
        deleting ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.* files
        making sure each album has a cover in iTunes
        running Get Album Artwork in iTunes
        recreating symbolic link ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music -> ~/Public/iTunes Music/
    ... but doesn't help.
    All other screen savers work... my usual is Flurry, and it works too, but gives invalid framebuffer operation under Console.
    Nothing running/checked under Sharing.

    Does anyone have a solution?
    Environment: Mac OS X (10.7.2), Macbook Pro (late 2008)

    So it turned out that the cause of the problem wasn't as complicated as I thought...
    I had a few songs that were not added to the iTunes library, instead referenced from other locations on my hard drive.
    Specifically, if you bring up the Get Info window of a song, under Summary > Where, it may show a different path than your usual iTunes Media folder location, set under Preferences.
    E.g. Where: ~/Desktop/downloaded_song.mp3
    I guess, this happens when you drag a song into your iTunes instead of adding it to the library, and apparently, causes problems with the Artwork Screen Saver.
    Solution:
    To correct it,
    For those songs, go to File > Add to Library...
    Then find and select the song file.
    That's all I had to do to get the screen saver working... All your songs have to be added to your iTunes Library.
    I think my brother was messing around with my playlist... I hope Apple nails a better way to lock-unlock/secure OS X soon (proximity sensor, biometric 3D face recognition, unique voice recognition, soul recognition, etc.).
    That malloc error message still shows up; that must be an unrelated issue with the screen saver.
    I hope this helps out all those suffering through the same issue with their iTunes Artwork Screen Saver.
