  • Equium - Black screen and cant reboot with the recovery disc

    I have a black screen and cant reboot with the recovery disc but I seem to be getting nowhere.
    I find it strange I cant ask Toshiba direct about my problem but I have to wait for a kind hearted person to solve my problem or give me a helping hand

    Of course you can ask Toshiba. Toshiba has Authorized service providers worldwide and I hope some of them are in your country too.
    So please visit Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Download > Find an ASP and contact nearest service provider. Just explain the situation and I hope they will help you.
    Back to your problem:
    It is not easy to say why this happen. The whole issue is not described so well and I am missing some important points.
    Maybe you have upgraded RAM and now notebook doesnt start properly. It is also possible that CPU is defective. It can be so many different reasons for this.
    Best thing you can do is to contact service and ask for help. they can run diagnostic tools and find out quickly what the problem is.

  • IPad 2 has a black screen which lights up to a grey black screen when I press the power or home button

    iPad 2 has a black screen which lights up to a grey black screen when I press the power or home button but I dont see the apple logo. The battery is fully charged and when I plug it in to my computer, I can use iTunes to do everythng except backup the iPad since its passcode locked. Please help me resolve this problem. I don't have apple care

    Yup! I've been there! You just have to double-tap the screen with three fingers and the zoom should go back. You have to turn off the feature in Settings>Accessibility>Zoom>and turn the switch off so this won't happen again when you double-triple tap.

    Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

    Hi there Swapnil_Pandey,
    In order to address the other issues, we first need to address the hardware issue with the home button. Please take a look at the article below for more information on your available service options.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • I just loaded the 8.1 operating system on my iPad.  It has been sitting for about 4 hours with the black screen and white apple with the bar underneath.  What should I do?

    I am having trouble after loading the 8.1 operating system on my ipad.
    My iPad is model A1397 EMC 2424
    MEID ********
    Serial DL******JHH
    64GB
    I started loading 8.1 about 5 hours ago and it is still sitting with the black screen with the progress bar underneath.  It shows that it is almost done loading - just has a tiny bit of the progress bar left.
    <Edited by Host>

    I Don't know if this will work for anyone else but just FYI - after loading 8.1 on my iPad it froze for several hours on the black screen with white Apple and progress bar underneath. It would not do anything.  I thought I was doomed.  I accidentay left it sitting overnight without plugging it Back into the charger. I meant to but got sidetracked and thought it was plugged in. During the night the battery was totally drained so this morning my iPad was dead. I plugged it into the charger and after a few minutes the battery icon came up showing it was charging. I gave it about 30 minutes and then turned it on and the new operating system came up. It looks like it might be ok now.  I can't say I recommend this, but it worked for me.

  • Black screen and no sound with iTunes rentals.

    I was going to chalk this up to just a corrupt download, but it's happening too much for mere coincidence now. I rented Captain America: The First Avenger in HD on my Windows 7 machine, only to find that when I tried to play it, I got nothing more than a black screen with no sound. I chalked it up to bad luck and went back to my day, only a few days later, I tried again, only to find the exact same problem had occurred with the exact same movie. I called Apple Support and told them of the problem, and while they refunded my purchases (and gave me 3 free movie rentals), they proposed no solution.
    So I tried renting Iron Man 3 today, and the same thing happened. This doesn't occur with any other movies that I own trying to play in iTunes, just with rentals. I've already tried a reinstall, which did nothing, and I'm out of ideas.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.

  • Why do I get a black screen and no sound with video in iTunes 8?

    Just downloaded the new iTunes. I don't have any video playback when I click preview in the store. No video when I try to play anything that I've already downloaded. The play cursor moves but I have a black screen with no sound. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch.
    Any recommendations? I'm using the latest version of Leopard 10.5.4 on an Intel iMac.
    PS: This same question is posted in iTunes download category too.

  • X200 black screen and beep sound when power module is plugged on and off

    Hello,
    I have the following problem. Today I turned on my X200 without power module, and when I plugged in power - the screen starts to flicker. This was not before, and I am using my laptop only during a week.
    After that I turned on the laptop with power module, it was OK, but when I plug out and plug in power module, computer makes "beep" sound and becomes black for a second. Is that normal behavior? 
    Thank you!

    does your battery hold a full charge. is it in good shape.  is your machine under warranty. you could try support, but they're probably just gonna tell you to open a service claim.  another thing, did it always do this or is this something that just started. did you just download any updates and this started right after. or did it just start doing this for no reason.

  • My ibook G4 won't start it shows black screen and loud fan sound only

    my ibook G4 won't start, after you press the on key it makes a loud air sound, almost like a kernel panic sound, no screen light just the sound, it will turn off by pressing the on key again. Is there anything I can do to get it on?

    Your very welcome.
    You would need to apply pressure to the left side of the track pad about 2cm out. I found applying pressure to both sides of the track pad more successful. All you have to do is push down on the case, while making sure your iBook is on a flat surface. If you have someone willing to help you, you can get them to apply the pressure while you back up your files. Other methods would involve tempory repair or removal of the hard drive. If you remove the hard drive to be read by another computer, you would need a cady to put the drive into. These caddies are cheap enough. Would suggest you use a USB cady and plug your drive into that, which would act as USB external drive. I'd suggest you get a USB cady to remove your files, be careful to what operating system you have on the computer you are using to get the files off. Windows OS won't read a MAC OS X drive (extended journal format) It would need to be another  Mac or a Linux PC.
    If removing the hard drive is something your not to confident in doing, you could alway pay a computer repair shop to remove it for you. (Maybe they would have a USB cady for a 2.5 IDE hard )
    Here is a link giving further details about this chip solder problem.

    Let's hope just applying enough pressure is enough to get your files back up.
    Best of luck!

  • Mountain Lion locks up after sleep, mouse is frozen on screen, requires hard reboot with power button

    I have a 2007 Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz macbook pro with Intel 320 160gb SSD installed, and 6GB of Patriot RAM. Machine was working perfectly under Snow Leopard, NO ISSUES AT ALL FOR MONTHS!
    After installing Mountain Lion the computer frequently locks up, requiring a hard reset holding down the power button.
    The lock ups occur about 10-90 seconds after waking the computer from sleep. Everything will appear normal, i can click through some appliations, start typing somewhere, reading an article, or start watch the ipad mini launch video on apple.com, doesn't matter. Then all of a sudden the computer is just completely locked up. Nothing on screen is working, the mouse isn't even moving the system is completely locked up, and does not recover even if left for several hours. I have checked the logs and there's no sign of a kernel panic.
    I have tried creating a new blank user profile, reinstalling from the recovery partition, and the issue persists. I've basically stopped closing my computer when i can avoid it, and the rest of the time i have about a %50 chance that i'll be able to work when i open my computer instead of having to do a hard reset.

    With the 2007 macbookpro the optical bay was IDE. One of the upgrades i had made was an IDE to SATA adapter that held another sata hard drive in place of the optical drive(which had died). Even though this setup worked flawlessly under snow leopard, the IDE to SATA adapter seemed to be causing some issues with moutain lion when resuming from sleep. After removing the adapter and second hard drive, i have not had the computer lock up on me since.
