Intermittent blank screen

Hi first post on hear.
I have just changed the screen on my sony Xperia z1 successfully or so I thought. It all went together fine and works perfect. But now about a week after replacement the screen keeps going blank. The phone is working as I can hear it locking and unlocking.
I got quite frustrated with it and found out that if I squeeze the phone the screen comes back to life.
I have removed the back and checked all connections again and all looks good to me.
Has anybody else had this and can offer some advice as not to sure how long just squeezing it will work.
Thanks in advance for any help

Perhaps the new screen its damaged.

Intermittent Blank Screen - Multi-Tab Corporate Dashboard

Hi All,
We are a facing an intermittent blank screen issue with our corporate dashboard. Details are as follows: -
Environment:
BO XI 3.1 SP2 FP2 (Two servers on production)
Xcelsius 2008
Live Office
QaaWS
Issue:
Sometimes we only see a blank screen (Not even the initializing screen) when a corporate dashboard is opened from Infoview.
This is a multitab dashboard and is built using Live Office and QaaWS connections.
Initially the issue was occuring only on one server and sometime later it started occuring with the second server as well.
We restrated the services on both the servers and the issue disappeared. (Maybe it was due to cache getting cleared up, though not sure on this)
What we need:
1. Are there any known issues for this kind of issue?
2. What are the possible reasons for intermittent blank screen?
I have searched through the forums and BOB forums and have found about the visibility issue. In our case we do not face any issues with that.
Regards,
Abhishekh

Hi Amit!
Running the trace is fine, but the issue occured only once and that to when we restarted the corresponding servers the issue vanished.
Why I feel that this is not something related to flash is because, first the issue appeared on the first prod box (merantime the second prod box was showing the output correctly). Later on (maybe in 5-10 mins) even the second server started having issues.
So far the issue has appeared only once. However the business would like to understand the possible reasons and would like to avoid similar situations in the future.
We do not have access to either the Firefox or Chrome. Though we have tried with multiple versions of IE. The IE version on which the issue appeared was IE 6/7.
I think, I will close this thread for now. If the issue resurfaces again, we can look into it further.
Hope to hear back from you soon!
Regards,
Abhishekh Jain

Intermittant Blank Screen

I'm having a different blank screen problem from those whose MBPs have a blank screen at startup.
My MacBook Pro, purchased new July 2007 (NVidia 8600M GT), is experiencing intermittent blank screen problems. Basically I'll be working at the computer, typing away, when all of the sudden the screen goes blank. I've had this happen both with and without external power plugged in (it's not a low battery issue). I've had this problem both when runnng OS X and when I've been running Windows Vista via Boot Camp, which has me thinking that this is a hardware problem.
Sometimes the screen goes blank for just a second or two and then comes back on its own. Other times it goes blank and stays blank. On occasion, I've been able to get the screen back by unplugging the magsafe connector, waiting a few seconds, and then plugging it in again. On other occasions, this hasn't worked at all, and I've had to manually power down the computer and restart.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? Is my LCD backlight dying? Something else? Haven't taken it to a Mac store yet, but given all that I've been reading about defective 8600M logic boards, I'm dreading the thought of sending my computer away for a week, only to have it come back and break again.

I just had the same problem with intermittent blank screen. I was pleasantly surprised that resetting SMC and PRAM fixed it. It's worth a try.

T520 Display Port to HDMI on Vizio M220VA provides intermittent blank screen

I have a Vizio M220VA tv to which I connect my T20 via the display Port. I never get a screen showing on the TV, but the laptop screen oscillates between a black/blank screen and the normal desktop. I have verified the T520 works when hooked to a different TV and that the TV works when hooked to a different laptop.
My graphics adapter shows as a " Intel HD Graphic Family.

Hi drussel,
Just a few questions to help us understand the situation better:
1. The other laptop you mentioned, is it also connected to the TV via displayport?
2. Are all your video/display drivers on the T520 the most up to date ones?
This may help others or myself in figuring out a possible solution.

Blank Screen after entering password

I seem to be encountering an intermittent issue when entering my password at logon.
I would enter the password and the little ‘busy’ circle would spin attempting log in but after a few seconds rather than seeing my desktop I just have a blank screen.
I can adjust the volume and hear the sound going up/down, but I cannot see anything.
If I restart or shut down the device, and then attempt to log in again sometimes the same issue happens or sometimes it logs into the desktop.
I have taken the device to an apple store for them to look into, disk diagnostics were performed and the OS X was re-installed but they then brought it down to a hardware issue without specifying which hardware.
I got a replacement MPB Retina however the problem still happens on that device pointing towards the OS X.
Is anyone else having this issue, have Apple recognised the problem and will there be a fix?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Liam

I have a MacBook Pro that worked perfectly well on Snow Leopard. However since upgrading to Mountain Lion, and it's updates, I have experienced a number of problems, including grey screens when changing from one account to another. Force shutdowns are required to get back to normal. I wonder is a re-installation of ML would fix the problems, but I don't know how to do that. I have made a bootable copy from the installer, but would like some guidance on replacing 10.8.2 with 10.8.1.

Blank Screens in Slideshow - Fixed!

As others have mentioned in previous threads, I was having intermittent problems with blank screens appearing in Lightroom 1.0 slideshows. Sometimes every slide, other times alternate slides. It appears my problem was caused by Microsoft's Intellipoint 6.1 mouse drivers. These drivers include a feature called "Instant Viewer" which enables a mouse button to be programmed to display small screenshots of open application windows. This feature seems to interfere with Lightroom slideshows.
I rolled my mouse driver back to Intellipoint 5.5 because the 6.1 drivers are apparently also causing crashes in Photoshop CS3 as discussed here:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bc3d091 .
Ever since the driver rollback, my slideshows have worked perfectly.

Getting Blank Screen

Hi Experts,
We has a custom java application which was deployed on Weblogic 8 in 2 JVM Cluster. Recently we have upgraded the Weblogic to version 10MP3. But sometime users are getting blank screens and once they hit F5 the screen comes back. Users are using IE7 and IE8. We are not able to test on any other browser as that is not certified within the orgnization. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Issue is intermittent so very hard to troubleshoot/reproduce.

You can check the logging, to see if there are any messages related to the issue.
Maybe this discussion can help (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/iewebdevelopment/thread/48e60100-1a28-44ca-b382-774b1b7fb65d)

Intermittant black screen

I've been getting an intermittant black screen. It's almost as if going to a hot corner for about 2 seconds and then moving the mouse. Most of the time I get the black screen I'm on the internet or playing solitare so I know the pointer is not in the hot corner. I've even turned the hot corners off to no avail. I've checked the dvi cable.
I'm using dvi port 1 with the little dvi extension to dvi cable that came with my 19 inch viewsonic.

Okay, I see alot of simular issues with a lot of different screens with both ati and nvidia cards so, I guess it's a problem with compatability. I don't see any complaining about flickering or blank screens with the apple monitor. Has anyone heard from Apple if there is a solution? I'm not about to dish out 600 bucks for the Apple monitor. Does anyone have a generic monitor that does not flicker?

IPhone 4S - Phone App opens with a blank screen

iPhone 4S - Phone App opens into a blank screen and I have to reboot the phone in order to restart the app and be able to use the phone. The problem appears intermittently.
How can I fix this so that a reboot is not necessary?
Thanks!

Try a restore. If that does not work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

IPad (classic) + yahoo mail + safari = blank screen madness

Hello,
Apologies if this has been asked and answered. I found no comparable thread.
Accessing yahoo mail via safari. Intermittently, and now quote often, I see only a blank screen after long in.
Tried resetting, and resetting network. Tried also clearing cache and cookies. No luck.
I put same q to yahoo.
Grateful for ideas.

No replays. I noticed I can't open news links on the main Yahoo page, either.
My work-around has been to download the Atomic Web browser. It works very well and doesn't have the problems in Yahoo currently experienced with Safari.

2 days of blank screens and resarts

Hello,
I have been freaking out for two days because my iBook G4 1.33GHz has been acting erratically.
At first the screen just went black. I tried restarting but nothing changed. I would hear the fan for a short moment but no video. I could hear my emails coming in and the volume sound when I hit the volume keys. The caps lock and num lock lights would also turn on. But I had no video.
I tried the Apple support recs of resetting the PRAM and PMU. Same problem persisted. One time, I even got flashing screens of color (red, green, yellow).
Every once in a while, it would actually start up with video. I would try to do a few things and then it would freeze. Then back to same old blank screen.
I tried with the battery in, out, drained, fully charged, plugged in. No difference.
This morning, after a couple restarts, it finally worked. I backed up everything and started to use as usual. It would freeze every once in a while, but the video was back most of the time. I got through day having to restart several times and several blank screens again. I even got a few crazy screens of various lines of color. Didn't look good at all.
Still having to restart often but at least I am getting intermittent use. I am dependent on my computer and looking for a solution.
I will try to get to a Genius Bar some time in the next couple of days but was hoping someone could give me some thought son what is going on. Other forums seem to think there is something wrong with iBook G4 logic boards and soldering connections. If anyone has any recommendations or thoughts, please pass along.
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo

Just got my iBook back today. They replaced the logic board in two days. I went to pick it up but my Airport would not work in the store. So I gave it back to them. They told me this morning that they had to re-attach the airport but then realized my harddrive was failing. So they replaced it and transferred all my files.
Got it home and it was working fine. Started doing all the necessary updates to get it back up to speed. But when I restarted, I got the flashing question mark with the intermitent OS face. I keep restarting and every once in a while it works. I followed the support recs of doing a disk repair through disk utility. First time, the harddrive did not mount. After I finally got it to work, same flashing question mark. Did the PRAM thing and started with holding x. Tried to do startup manager but nothing showed up.
Just restarted and it worked but I am guessing this is not for good.
Any thoughts? Did they mess up the harddrive install? Do I need to reinstall OS? Any risk to everything on the harddrive?
Thanks,
Rodrigo

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'

According to his first post he has both xorg-twm and xterm installed.
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.

Apple Cinema 23" on a PC? can't get it to work just has a blank screen?

Sorry this may have been asked a million times but i have a 23" cinema HD display and i'm try to connect it to a laptop PC with the convertor to vga and no matter what i try it has a blank screen with the white power light. I have tried to change the res to the lowest it doesn't work what am i doing wrong please help!!

You can't use a simple VGA to DVI adapter, since VGA doesn't have the digital video signals needed by Apple displays. You need a VGA to DVI converter, such as

Tried installing Windows Vista, cancelled install and now it won't boot from the OEM Vista DVD, all i get is BOOTMGR is missing error... Ctrl Alt Del to restart and when i turn the computer on i get a blank screen and pressing C is not working to boot....

Topic says it all...
My friend started a installation of Windows Vista, but pulled out after deleting all partitions...
So now i power it on, get a blank screen (seems a bit gray because of backlighting, should show the apple logo right?)...
Then after like 15-20sec it will throw out a:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have a OEM Windows Vista DVD in the drive, and i know... Windows 7 is better... but i'm not that fond of stealing software from Microsoft and i have 10 licenses for Vista...
I have tried pressing C while booting up but it doesn't work...
Does anyone here have a magic soloution for me, and no i will not install MacOS on it !!!

Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
* hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
To summarize.
1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
2 Download the instructions and read them.
3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
4 Pick your friends more carefully.

When I click on picture in Photo Gallery...just blank screen...no picture

Hi. I have been doing well with iPhoto until I tried to migrate to Aperture. When I migrated to Aperture, I deleted the iPhoto library in Aperture as I read in the tutorial.
Clearly, I did something wrong. Well, I uninstalled Aperture and will be using that at another time, but for now here is my dilemma.
Since I migrated photos to Aperture, consolidated them with iPhoto and then deleted...
now I open my iPhoto and double click on a photo to edit or view...and nothing appears. Just blank screen. The small pics are at the top but it doesn't open to a larger picture. Where are my photos! Help!

The previews you refer to are the thumbnails in the iPhoto Library - iPhoto creates them when you import a photo.
Aperture has the ability to trash Referenced Files. If you imported the files to Aperture as Referenced and then trashed them from Aperture, are you sure you didn't also tell it to trash the Referenced Files. This would produce exactly the scenario that you describe.
