MSI CX61 issue - blank screen, amber power button. Help appreciated.

Good evening,
I have an issue with my MSI CX61. If anyone can help I'll be very grateful.
The notebook is unmodified it has all the original hardware straight from the box.
The issue is that the MSI, when turned on, seems to access the hard drive for a second before the blue led that indicates hard drive access stops blinking. The MSI doesn't even reach the logo. It is completely unusable, there is nothing on screen, at present I cannot access bios.
The battery led to show the notebook is charging starts off blue and then turns orange.
The power button is persistently Amber.
What I have attempted:
I have attempted to run the computer directly off the battery, battery taken out, and the problem persists.
I have connected my laptop, via HDMI cable, to a TV while turning the notebook on; the TV stays blank but appears to receive a signal
The harddrive is working while attached to another laptop, it can access all my data.
If this is important the last thing I did was install steam. The problem started when my computer cut out. No warning, it still had battery also.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Ok hi, it seems like you might have the windows black screen error and its because of faulty windows updates, it usually occurs on windows 8 systems but might occur on others too. What i suggest is to set it back in time before you installed steam and now you can do this by pressing f8 or f9 or shift f8 or shift f9 or f10 or f11 when starting your laptop.
Try the different keys just spam click it really while restarting or booting cold your laptop and test all the keys im 100% sure one of them should work or maybe its another key but u should come to windows recovery options and from there u choose reset. Try it and tell me if it worked thanks!

Hello waseem.abdul_hadi,
It may be that your Screen Curtain has been activated. This can be deactivated by triple-tapping the screen with three fingers.
Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

IPhone 4 crashed, blank screen, broken home button, and iTunes won't allow access unless I "respond with phone," how do I reboot or get my data off this phone?

The power button on my iPhone broke a few months ago, so I have been using the assisted touch feature to lock the screen. Last night, in the middle of using an app, the phone froze and nothing working except the assisted touch icon (I could use it and move it around). I locked the screen using this, which evidently was a mistake, because now I have a blank screen that won't respond to anything. When I connect the charger, the phone still makes the normal sounds and vibrations, but the screen is blank. I can't do a hard reboot without the power button. I recently bought a new computer, so today I downloaded iTunes, but iTunes wants me to "respond with the phone" in order to continue. How can I at LEAST upload my contacts, photos and video from this phone? Or is there a trick I can try to bring it back from this black screen that is non-responsive? And NO...I'm not interested in putting it in the freezer!!

Honestly the hard really right now to say what you can do. How long have you had the device? If it's under a year you can take it to apple store and they can switch it out for free. If it's over a year then it would be at a paid cost cause they can't fix that issue.
Hope this helps.

MSI 790GX-G65 Blank Screen on boot.

I finally decided to upgrade my computer and I am having an issue unfortunately. Please take a look and see if you can give me any advice.
Mobo: MSI 790GX-G65
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
PSU: Rosewill Stallion Series RD450-2-DB 450W ATX V2.2 Power Supply
Output +3.3V@22A,+5V@15A,+12V1@14A,+12V2@16A,
[email protected], [email protected]
I have isolated the problem to these components, attempting to turn it on the CPU fan turns on and LEDs on the motherboard all turn on but my monitor receives no input at all, boot screen, no blinking cursor, no nothing. the computer doesn't beep, if it wasn't for the blank screen I wouldn't have a problem. I don't know how to determine which part is the problem as I don't have parts to switch out but I need to figure out something soon If I am going to have to be returning stuff.
I have read other posts on the forums and one of the first things you guys mention as being the problem is the PSU and I have considered upgrading it to AZZA Dynamo 850
Output +3.3V@24A, +5V@32A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@18A, +12V3@20A, +12V4@22A,[email protected], [email protected]
I realize it doesn't have the +12v amps that everyone is recommending on a single rail but would this be workable with my set up for a casual gamer on a budget(the PSU is on a special right now with a case for cheap)
Thanks for helping.

Hello!
All LEDs are Go? It doesn't sound like a BIOS problem, more of a power/processor thing, but update 1.2 is required.
All LEDs light up.

Check that all plugs of the wires from the PSU are fully seated in their sockets and that the 4/8 pin power for the CPU is plugged in. Usually labeled JPW1, JPWR1 or something similar.
All wires are plugged in solidly and the PSU is fully seated

Try with less memory; a single stick nearest to the processor.
I tried with both sticks individually, same result. Blank Screen

Corsair VX550W +12V~41A single rail would be a very good one for you especially if you might want to get a halfway decent VGA card later on down the road. I'm assuming you are using onboard graphics since you didn't list a separate card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004
Right, I ordered a HD 4770 seperately and it came a day later, the screen receives no input whether I plug in from the onboard video or the video card.

Get a quality PSU, please. An 850W PSU doesn't cost 60$, have a half hidden amps list, and come with blue LEDs. Better a quality 500W than a lousy 850W. How would you fancy this one?

Like Fredrik said, a cheap junk PSU is still a cheap junk PSU no matter how many watts it claims to have. That's the mistake far too many people make is getting cheap with a PSU which is the heart of a system and when they take a dump it more than likely will take other components with it. I'm sure you've read plenty of that if did much reading of things regarding PSU's on this forum.
Thanks for the PSU suggestions and advice, I'll be a better shopper when it comes to PSUs.
Thanks for the suggestions but nothing worked, I guess I will be contacting newegg and telling them something doesn't work and let them sort it out.

Screen not moving beyond grey screen once power button is pressed

hi
Once i switch on power button. Apple logo comes and after a while it disappears and round cursor keeps rotating.
and screen doesnt move to normal start up .
So unable to start the laptop.
Need help

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Froze on black screen and power button does not work

my sons ipod touch is stuck on a black screen when plugged into the computer got a spinning wheel and will not connect now spinning wheel will not go away the power button does not work so can not reset it manually
any suggestions would be appreciated

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Neglect the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of thes programs
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Multiple problems: Touch Screen and Power Button on my Iphone 4S.

My power button on my iphone will click but it doesn't recieve any response from my phone. Also, my screen isn't working at all. The only button that works is the home button. The phone is only a couple of weeks old. I recieved it in the mail from apple and it has run smoothly up until now. It is a very random occurence and I would like to have it resolved quickly. Any suggestions?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple store to have the phone checked out. Or call Apple Support.

Shutdown screen using power button...

I get a screen telling me to shutdown using the power button. How can I fix this?

If this is a kernel panic, which it sounds like, then see: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic. Post the panic log here.

Touch screen and power button stopped working.

The power button has stopped working a long time and I've been using it as well. Now was the touch screen that stopped working without any crash. He was in my front pocket and then stopped working and returned after a while. It happened again for 3 days and then stopped permanently. What should I do ???

Imac G4 install boot issue: Blank screen

Hi!
I'm trying t get archppc on an old g4 with 512 ram (the infamous iLamp). I get the cd to boot part way, but then I get a blank screen, and the computer doesn't move forward. I tried using the option that does something to the video (sorry, I forgot what it was called. I'll try getting it in a few minutes), but it did the same thing. I'm using xubuntu right now, but it's like puling a trailer with a coupe. I want just what I need: openbox, internet, terminal. So anything else is quite useless.
Thanks a lot!

Hi! I may come too late!
I installed Arch ppc on a Mac mini G4 a few months ago.
After udev was parsing the hooks, had a ' black screen flash' then 'nothing' (reading my notes, I can't remember if it was a white screen, but I had that one when trying to install other systems like Debian or Crux on ppc machines when it was about communicating with GPU).
On Arch ppc, the way through the problem was to reboot from the install cd, chrooting again, and edit yaboot.conf adding these two lines after the proper boot image :
append="video=radeonfb"
append="radeon.agpmode=-1"
Your GPU is most probably an ATI and should be ok with that, but check anyway.
And don't forget to
ybin -v
again before rebooting!
Hope this helps someone, if not the OP.

Iphone 5 lock screen and power button no longer works?

With my iPhone 5 that I have had for around 10 months the lock/power button hardly ever works. I have to press the button many times and for multiple seconds for my phone to power on or off. What can I do? Will Apple replace it, and will they give me another 16 like I have now? I really want to know before my warranty runs out because I truly do love my phone and want it to work properly.

If it is determined that your problem is due to user abuse or damage, your warranty will be void; but you will be eligible for an out of warranty replacement for $269.

Power Button- Help Wanted Please

I recently have been having power issues with iMac. First the power button on back did not work unless I unplugged the Mac from the electrical outlet and then replugged in. I noticed that the "chime" was not sounding as well. I completely reinstalled MAC-OSX and all the updates and tried rebooting with control Apple P and R button but again this morning the same thing happened. I love my iMac and this is really getting quite annoying any recommendations would be greatly appreciated....

The lack of the start-up chime is a sign of a serious problem. Call AppleCare immediately at their toll-free #.
