I have a new Dell Inspiron 15R. I closed it without shutting it down and when I tried to start it up I get a blank screen with my cursor. What's wrong.

I have a new Dell Inspiron 15R. I closed it without shutting it down and when I tried to start it up I get a blank screen with my cursor. What's wrong.

You may get a reply here but it's best to post a question in the columns it naturally belongs to; in this case Dell forums.

  • Will a new MotherBoar​d cure Blank Screen with blinking cursor?

    Stuck with Blank Screen with blinking cursor; ESC key couldn’t bring up Startup Menu; OS is not loading
    Product Name: HP G62 237 CA Notebook PC
    Short description of the problems:   
    --- Press ESC key couldn’t bring up Startup Menu when booting up
    --- Blank screen with blinking cursor thereafter
    --- Stuck here forever and OS is not loading
    DETAILED INFORMATION:
    Product Name and Operating System:      
    Model: HP G62 237 CA Notebook PC
    O/S: Pre-loaded with Win 7 Home Prem
    Processor: Pent. Dual-Core CPU T4500 2.30GHz
    Memory: 4GB
    BIOS Ver. (Insyde): F.17

    Product #: WQ767UA#ABC
    Product Config ID: 049C110000202710000020000
    Problem History:     
    --- Used to have frequent BSOD (got fixed later because of faulty RAM that I suspected)
    --- Window couldn’t be loaded
    --- Window Repair and HP Recovery were tried but not functioning
    --- OEM Hard Drive was then removed & formatted few times by using other computer
    --- Hard Drive was then tested by other computer; it can be installed Win XP & Win 7
    --- So, Hard Drive was eliminated from the suspect list
    --- Replaced with other good RAM from other computers & put back the OEM Hard Drive to my HP G62; everything worked fine, such as: able to reinstall Win 7; listening to music files; got Internet to download latest BIOS from HP support site; connected to my 42 inched TV as my monitor; and even smoothly updated the BIOS from v.17 to v.37!
    --- Also, able to receive Window Updates from the Internet; and seemed that all problems were nicely solved
    --- Once I believe my system got stabilized; I went back to test the 2 supposedly problematic RAM to see whether they were both faulty or not, then the whole thing has turned around! Completely screwed me up until this moment …
    --- After put back the problematic RAM, Window couldn’t be loaded …
    --- With a few error messages… such as,
    --- The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum;
    --- After the next reboot… an unexpected screen message showed up:

    --- After that, OS was not loading …
    --- Press ESC key couldn’t bring up the Startup Menu during boot up
    --- Blank screen with blinking cursor thereafter and seems stuck here forever
    Procedures performed for troubleshooting:
    Tried hard reset for more than 5 times (removed battery, AC adapter disconnected and then hold down the Power button for more than 60 secs) and tried reseating memory too; same result with Blank Screen with blinking cursor after each reboot.
    Connected to an external monitor [Fn + F4/F5] to see whether there was any display, nothing has showed on the external monitor, it seemed that no connection established between the two.
    Finally, took the long journey to follow the Service and Maintenance Guide of HP G62 to remove the CMOS battery for well over 15 minutes and put it back. But the result was again disappointed. Tried 4 times already. The latest error message is:      
    The CMOS checksum is invalid. The CMOS will be reset to the default configuration and will be rebooted. Please check your BIOS Setup options to see if they change.
    CMOS Reset (502)
    ENTER – Reboot the system
    After this message, the same Blank Screen with blinking cursor came back. And pressing the ESC key couldn’t bring up Startup Menu when booting up …
    Note: the fan is still running; the Power button is functioning but seems stuck here forever!
    I’ve already carefully read this HP Support document titled “HP BIOS Application Selected is Corrupt or Missing”:
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01443485#N144
    If really is the BIOS problems, then I will have the difficulties of updating a Window-based BIOS when I couldn’t even load Window!
    (Note: Boot from USB has no point because right now I couldn’t change the boot sequence because the various “Startup Menu” options are not showing up!)  
    Secondly, I am still stuck with the Blank Screen with a blinking cursor after I passed the first screen of “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu” when re-booted again!
    Thirdly, I have formatted my Hard Drive more than 3 times during the last few days for testing; I don’t have the OEM pre-loaded Win 7 with me anyone … and I don’t think I have the UEFI installed previously on my system. I did try hold down the Win Key + B with the most updated BIOS in the attached USB …, it came back with the same blank screen with a cursor blinking after reboot.
    Note: the Blank Screen I’m experiencing right now is not completely black, in fact, there is background light from behind the screen and on each reboot, I can see the HP logo and the left corner message of: “Press ESC key for Startup Menu” … So, I suppose that my computer screen is not physically broken at least.
    Requests:
    Please explain to me that what are the problem areas and the root causes if is possible?
    What steps or other tests can be done to make it work again?
    Do you think replacing the entire MotherBoard can cure the Blank Screen with blinking cursor?
    [Warranty: expired! I am the original purchaser & the end-user of this HP G62; acquired 2 years ago directly from a trustworthy source: staples (in Canada). Would HP Support still willing to service it for an extra charge?]
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion and idea!

  • New Install - startx results in blank screen with mouse cursor

    I installed Arch on my desktop last week with no issues, so I wanted to install it on an old THinkpad R31. Everything with the installation went smooth, but when I try to 'startx' all I get is a blank screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around. I've installed xorg-xinit, xorg-twm, xorg-xclock, and xterm.
    I'm not getting any significant errors in the logs, or even the terminal I issue 'startx' in.
    I'm not sure what the problem could be...
    Here is my output from 'startx'

    I do indeed.
    I went ahead and installed LXDE anyways, just to see what would happen. Exact same thing, it looks like everything is about to load but only the mouse cursor shows up. My Xorg.0.log is the same, so I won't post it again.
    I do get an error in the console about the openbox menu.xml file missing but I doubt that's related.

    I bought my iPhone on Friday and when I tried to use it to make a call (after I had left the store)  the screen had turned green - as if a green filter had been placed over it.  When I turned the phone sideways the color turned to magenta. Anyone else have this problem? I plan on exchanging the phone but can't get there until later this week.

  • Just bought a new DELL Inspiron 15R laptop, can't get Arch iso to boot

    Just bought a brand new laptop and I've been really wanting to try Archlinux (coming from Fedora)
    I hit F2 to go into my boot settings and I enabled "legacy" mode. I then changed the boot order to CD/DVD first, I saved the settings and rebooted the machine with the Archlinux ISO in the drive.  (this is the 10.1.2013) version of the ISO. 
    When the machine reboots I can see the little CD/DVD drive LED light up for a second or 2 but it's like it's not seeing the CD as a bootable CD.  I tried searching all over but I'm still stuck, desperate for help here.  Just to make sure it wasn't something wrong with the CD I tried the same CD in another machine and right away it came up with the Archlinux menu screen.
    I have since installed Kali/Debian on this new machine with no problems (the new DELL) - I still want to do a dual boot with both Kali/Debian and Archlinux.  Any ideas on what I can try?

    You can use the bootstrap tar.gz files that are found in the same directory as the iso on every mirror.  If you go to the download page, select the mirror of your choice, you will see a file called "archlinux-bootstrap-2013.10.01-x86_64.tar.gz" (one for i686 also).  That is what you need.
    Unpack it whereever you think is appropriate, if you have enough RAM you can use /tmp.  Then after setting up the partitions in the host (Kali/Debian, or whatever), you can arch-chroot to that unpacked directory.  There you will find all the tools necessary to install (pacman and the arch-install-scripts).
    This method has one issue though, and that is that the arch-chroot script (and maybe others) requires some pretty new versions of various things.  In particular, I think that a pretty new version of bash is required.  So I am not sure about the viability of this solution on anything debian, as their stable repos tend to be pretty conservative.  It also means that you need to have a pretty good understanding of the install process, as you will still mostly follow the beginners guide, but it will require a few changes in the procedure.
    Good luck.

  • What is the new configuration procedure - I'm getting a blank screen with v7

    I'm giving version7 a trial run. I cannot get any response whatsoever. I've set up the CONFIG::LOGGING , I also found a new variable CONFIG::FLASH_10_1 which I set to false. Is this the correct way? I just ported a working player I created in 6 to 7 and all I now get is a blank. This should be a doddle what's wrong?

    Ok my bad, maybe this is a Linux problem but, it took about 30 secs to connect to the FMIS server. In that time the player went dead, right clicking did not give me the context menu - it was just dead. Is there any reason why this is happening?. It is a bit slow. I'm developing on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 64 bit and my sdk is 4.0.0

  • Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

    Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

    Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
    spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

  • I am having trouble with my MacBook Pro. I get a blank screen with a flashing document file with a question mark in it, yes I have tried to install Mac OS X with the original disk but I get no choices of where I wish to install Mac OS X. Please help ;(

    I am having some trouble with my computer, what happened was: I was playing on a game, I played with a magnet, it started to go slower and slower, I pressed F9 then it went slower and then it went to a blank screen with a flashing document with a question mark on it. I tried the original OS X installation disk but when it came to choosing the area of which I save it, it showed no areas.

    Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
    If the startup disk is not available from that window, you may be able to repair the disk.

  • Blank Screen with cursor after login Windows 7, Unable to start new tasks

    My problem is similar to the well know Windows 7 Black Screen as referenced by Prevx, though different. When I boot my Windows 7 computer, the login screen appears as always. Following entering the password for default user,
    the screen will give the impression of login, but the final result is a plain black screen with the cursor only. The black screen appears indefinitely and the Windows GUI never appears. The only available option from booting in normal mode with this is Ctrl-Alt-Del
    (Task Manager). From analyzing another computer with Windows 7 Professional, my Task Manager is missing the following user processes: dwm.exe, explorer.exe, and taskhost.exe. Additionally, it is missing the following system processes (possibly irrelevant):
    spoolsv.exe and wmiprvse.exe.
    When I attempt to start a new process using Windows Task Manager, an error message will appear saying “Windows Task Manager has stopped working” and forces you to close Windows Task Manager. This includes starting
    any process such as cmd or explorer.
    I attempted to boot into safe mode. 
    The result was the same as above. Then I attempted booting into safe mode with command prompt. This showed some hope. Following authentification from the login screen, the command prompt appears with the same blank screen with a cursor behind it. Initially
    I attempted to run msconfig.msc to run a clean startup. System Configuration Utilities opens briefly then displays the error same as above. “System Configuration Utility has stopped working” and again forces the program to close. Then I tried to
    open regedit. This works with no error messages! So I have access to the registry, but have no idea what I should modify to get my computer running normally.
    Things I have tried:
    1)   
    Restoring to last know good configuration. (No result)
    2)   
    Repairing Windows configuration. (No result)
    3)   
    Scanning the drive 3 separate times for viruses with both Avast and Symantec. (No viruses detected)
    4)   
    Repairing the REG_SZ value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell as proposed in
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprogeneral/thread/5b94b775-992e-4f48-b3ff-c89b3cf45e82
    5)   
    Executing Prevx’s fix file as proposed in
    http://www.prevx.com/blog/140/Black-Screen-woes-could-affect-millions-on-Windows--Vista-and-XP.html
    Any ideas are much appreciated.
    Thanks,
