Hp pavillion laptop with xp start up displays black screen with pointer

Start up results in ms logo an turns to black screen with pointer. Fan and led function. No error codes. Maybe lsasse.exe file problem but cannot get to command prompt with esc, f8, f10 options. How do I get a command prompt? Tried all boot tricks including holding down on bottom to bleed power after removal of battery & power cord. Help?

Yeah probably it died suddenly and some files on the hard drive are corrupt. Can you tap F8 as you power on and get into a menu that includes safe mode? If so choose safe mode with command prompt and when you can get to a command prompt type
chkdsk C: /r
and hit enter and let the full chkdsk utility run. It might take a couple hours but it will fix file system errors on the hard drive and likely allow you to boot again, now that we know there is nothing mechanically wrong with the drive. If this does not work we can link you to a Windows 7 32 bit repair disk that will allow you to do the same thing.

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!

N97 camera won't start(just a black screen)

My N97 camera won't start just a black screen this issue since the update to the new firmware

ooooooooops so sorry about this, here it goes and start with the first code.
With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!
1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Start up to black screen 2011 15" macbook pro

start up to black screen 2011 15" macbook pro does the start up chime and apple screen, then to a black screen, mouse arrow is visible and keyboard lit. help please

I had the same issue with my Macbook Pro too. You can follow this steps below:
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
Apparently it's an issue with an automatic update that never quite got past the login screen.
Hope this helps!

Pavillion dv7 new hard drive goes to black screen with cursor

A couple weeks ago my computer suddenly started going realy slow so I rebooted, and it wouldnt boot. Just gave me an error in the upper left corner (I dont remember the exact message). Anyway I took it to a family fried who fixes computers he said the hard drive probably had a bad boot sector. We couldnt boot to it, but he could read from it by plugging it into his own computer like an external.
Anyway we got the new hard drive in (upgraded from 320g to 500g) as well as the old one with the intention of making it a slave drive. I tried putting in a windows 7 install disk (originally had vista), when I turn it on first I see the hp splash screen, then it says "windows is loading files" and goes to a "windows is starting" splash screen. After that its just a black screen with an arrow cursor and doesnt appear to be doing anything else.
Any idea what the problem might be? Is it just trying to install to the wrong drive? Or could something more serious be wrong like the processor or motherboard that would mean the whole thing is trash now?

2nd ATV displays black screen and apple logo on initial start up

I just hooked up my 2nd ATV and all I am getting is a black screen with the apple logo. I am using component video and composite audio. No HDMI hooked up. 1st ATV is unplugged. Also have network cable plugged in for now. Using timecapsule for wireless network. This is a second hand ATV, so it has been previously used and configured. I also attempted to hook up using an HDMI, but same result. I am not sure if the unit is trying to find the previous users network or not. The amber light flashes indicating start up. Nothing else on the screen, no question mark, rotating circle, just the logo. Every few minutes the screen goes blue (assuming it is my TV default colour) and then returns to the black screen and logo. I am on the correct TV input. Also tried, menu + '+' and menu + - on the remote for factory restore and screen settings.

I hope you are reffering to the possibility that the person I purchased the unit from may be a thief. I am working with him at the moment and building up to getting my cash back so he can deal with Apple. Thanks.
Sorry if my comments were misunderstood, I wasn't suggesting anyone was a thief, I was suggesting that without a receipt the store couldn't/shouldn't rely on the serial number to exchange/refund the tv, as proof of purchase.

My laptop won't start question mark on screen?

My laptop won't start, there is a question mark on the screen.

Your MBP is having problems finding the HDD. Try these steps:

Do not dismiss the possibility that the HDD has failed or the connection is faulty.

27" Cinema Display - Black Screen

I have two of these 27" displays. One display works great. The other display has a black screen. It has power and will play music through the speaker and USB works. When I hold a flashlight up to the screen I can see what should be showing brightly and even read it (takes some work to read). When connected to the laptop it's recognized in the Display preferences etc.
This problem started by the screen going black from time to time. I could get it to come back on by unplugging etc. Then it went black and it won't come back.
I don't want to pay a bunch to repair. I'm very capable of doing the repair myself and with the tutorials online I can get it done. I've read numerous threads on this and several things are mentioned as the problem:
Blacklight or driver need replaced
Logic Board needs replaced
Power supply needs replaced (I don't see how it could be this since sound and stuff work on the display)
PRAM or clear preferences etc
I believe it's probably the backlight or driver and/or the logic board. I just don't know how to diagnose which it is. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue. This a common issue with Apple's LED Cinema Displays since they first launched to replace their CCDL LCD's, it's not your system. I spent three years, using 2x 24" LED LCD"s that were problematic since day 1; power supplies and LCD panels replaced 2-3 for each. My AppleCare was due to run out in Oct., so I called AppleCare in May. Within 24 hours, they approved 2 new 27" LED Cinema Displays. Everything was working perfectly, until last night. One of the 27" displays shut down. As a communications and tech consultant (and former Apple Corp employee), I reset my Mac Pro's NVRAM and SMC, tried the display with my MacBook Air and Mac Mini, all three systems will not detect it. From my experience with Apple's horrible LED LCD's, it's definitely a power supply issue. I run my system off an APC SMART-UPS 1500 Sine Wave for servers, and my other display and 6-Core Mac Pro5,1 are fine.
Really disappointed in Apple's lagging quality. Before the LED LCD's I owned 2 23" CCFL LCD's that lasted me ~8 years before burnout began, which is fantastic. I don't know who produced the panels and internal components, but Apple had better get this together.
The thread I posted is below, hope this gains traction:
24" and new 27" LED Cinema Displays constantly malfunction, anyone having similar issues as below?

How to start Mac when black screen occurs?

My MacPro can't start up now, only show black screen and sounds when click the power button. The power is charged. So I don't know how to open it now?
About my MacPro: MacBook Pro 7.1, with 10.9 and Ubuntu 14.04.

Try SMC and PRAM resets:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
If available, connect it to an external monitor. If there is an image on the monitor, then the display or display connection is probably faulty. If there is no image, then the GPU is faulty.
Last option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.
Ciao.

ARD 3 displaying black screen

I am running ARD 3 on my iMac to log into my power mac at work. I've been able to connect to the power mac but the display shows up as a black screen. it seems I have full control of the computer but I am unable to see anything. The problem seems to be with some setting on my Imac. I've been able to use a laptop to log in successfully with the display.

Well things got worse. Initially I could conenct to some clients but not the servers ??
Played around with it and found the answer. I thought it may be a network issue at the client end or possibly MTU size so played around with this and nothing.
SO - Changed the MTU size on MY machine in the network prefs and it all worked.
Just thought I'd post here as it may be useful to somebody.

Not fully starting up w/ black screen & no chime

My 15 month old 17" MacBook Pro decided to go to sleep this afternoon and never wake up. Had to hold down the power key to turn it off, but after that point, whenever the power key is pushed, the light immediately comes on in the front and it makes a slight sound (similar to waking from sleep).. no startup chime, and the screen remains black.
I have tried resetting PRAM, Power Reset, changed out ram to the factory stick, and even trying to target disk mode it to my wife's iMac in the hopes I could pull off the most recent data.. to no avail. (wouldn't even show up). I tried to boot from the 10.5 disc and it just got stuck in the machine and wouldnt see it (though I can hear it spinning up in there when I attempt a restart)
I have never seen anything quite like it in my years of dealing with Macs and it has me quite perplexed. I have trolled all the forum posts that include "not starting up" and have tried every trick mentioned. Suspect is the hard drive at this point, but the Logic Board keeps coming up in posts so I am not ruling that out. I have an insurance policy that may cover this but I am trying to revive it before resorting to that (or driving 2 hours to the nearest Apple Store)...
Anyone have any other suggestions? I would try a key on a kite in a lightening storm at this point if I thought it would help (though I suspect that power surges/outages we have had here the last few days are the culprit since it was not even acting any different until a few days ago.. even though I have it on a UPS) Help!

Are you sure the screen is totally black? My Core Duo MBP started up to what I thought was a black screen. when I turned on the overhead lights I could just barely see something on the screen. When I used a bright flashlight I could seee that my desktop was there. The problem was the backlight going out. This is repaired by replacing the inverter.
