My 3000 c200 8922 laptop's screen goes black with white showing through at boot-up.

When ever my computer starts up, all that shows is a black screen and some a faint white color.  It was kind of acting up a last week or so.  When I was using it, the screen went white in stripes for a few seconds.  I think I might caused it some major harm while surfing the net.  Any ideas?  I have no knowledge as this computer is kind of old.

could be possible graphic card or ram issue.
can you check if the issue persists on external display?
also, try to remove/re-seat or swap the ram sticks.

  • Ipad screen goes black with white letters

    what is the problem? start reading in book and screen suddenly go to black back ground and white letters

    If you open an ibook and tap the AA button towards the top right of the screen what options do you have set ? You should get theme options : white (black text on white background), sepia (black on brown) and night (white on black) - and possibly an 'auto-night theme' option (that might not show on all ibooks) which will automatically change to white on black e.g.
    If 'auto-night' is 'on' then turn it 'off'

    Hello ddominikaa and welcome to community,
    Kindly remove the battery and disconnect the power adapter, press the power button for 10 seconds connect the power adapter and check if the display comes.
    If the display does not come and laptop is in warranty then contact the support center and get the service case log.

  • Windows 8 in Boot Camp screen going black with computer still on.

    I'm running an iMac 3.0ghz Core2 Duo 27" with 4gb of ram.
    As the title says, I have Windows 8 installed on Boot Camp and just in the past week this has started happening and I can't figure it out.
    A little while after running Windows (usually a game), the screen will go black, but I can still hear what's happening and can even continue typing and interacting. The problem is that I can't see anything. The only thing I can do is turn off the computer. I've found advice on how to fix this if it happens in the Mac OS, but it hasn't happened on the Mac side and all of the steps to take don't affect what is happening on the Windows side.
    I'm guessing it has something to do with the display or the graphics card, but can't figure out why it only happens in Windows. I have everything up to date as far as I can tell, so I'm really lost.
    While I am running MacOS 10.8.2, I never have problems. There is a bit of image persistence that I have and have been leaving the screen on a little longer than normal. That may affect this problem.

    With Windows 8 you're pretty much on your own right now as Apple doesn't support it yet in Boot Camp. You're just going to have to be patient or revert back to Windows 7 which is supported. Sorry to be the bearer of bad new but that's how it is, if you need additional info please post in the Boot Camp forum, that's where most of the Boot Camp and MS Windows gurus hang out.

    I was using my ipod when the screen froze,then it went black/gray with messedup pixels and lines everywhere.I already tried plugging it in and connecting it to my computer,but nothings shows up in itunes, and my ipod doesn't respond to any buttons.Plus it won't go off.Someone please help; i don't want to have to replace it.

    Try:

    - 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.

  • My laptop screen goes black when i plug in an Hdmi cord

    Initially I had both my tv and computer off. I connected the dvi to the tv and the hdmi to the laptop and turned them both on. I had no issue using my laptop as i tried to sync the computer to the TV. However i must have accidentally hit something in the graphics options as my laptop screen went black. I unplugged the hdmi cord from my laptop and the screen came back up. But now for some reason everytime i plug in the hdmi cord to the laptop the screen goes black. When i take it out it the screen comes back up. Did i change something that is causing this to happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I have pretty much the same exact problem and setup as DaveA1.  I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop C55T-A5123 which I just purchased a few months ago and when I connect my laptop to my SONY TV via the HDMI cable the screen on my laptop goes black and the TV says no signal.  It was working just fine up until about a week ago when I was watching a movie through my VLC player and then the screen flickered a couple times then video went completely out and I've never been able to get it to come back even once.
    Here's the specs on my laptop:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114907
    So far I have tried on two different TVs, swapped HDMI cables which work on my other HDMI devices, system restore and attempted to update various different drivers.  I am curious to find out if Dave was able to find a solution to his problem.

  • Laptop is moved....screen goes black

    I upgraded to snow leopard a couple of months ago and a couple of weeks ago I started having this problem: sometimes (and it seems to be happening more and more) when I move my laptop ( the screen goes black (sounds like it goes into sleep mode) but I can't get it back and will have to shut it down and restart. This happens when its running on the battery or plugged in. Any ideas?

    Try a SMC reset.

  • On first startup IdeaPad Yoga 11S screen goes black

    When ever I startup the laptop the screen goes black and then I have to do a hard reset to turn it on again. Is there any solution? It's new and I don't want to ruin it.

    Hi Aftab1alam,
    Do you get anything displayed on screen when it tries to boot up?
    I had the following:
    1. Black screen - the outcome of this was they had to repllace the motherboard so it needed to be sent back to Novo (dpd will pick up and it gets sent to Germany - usually back within a week)
    2. The screen kept spinning with the Lenovo initial startup - it remained like that so it was essentially stuck. I played around with it a bit and found the following:
    - The keyboard was not working so I needed to plug in an external usb keyboard
    - Once I was able to use keys I could get to the "Novo menu" - which is Novo's equivalent/layer on top of the the DOS BIOS.
    - I fiddled about with that and called Novo tech support who talked me through a number of things to try. None worked for me but worth you calling them and trying these.
    - Eventiually they arranges for it to be sent back.
    Incidentally the 2nd replacement got the same issue - I think it was after it did a windows update to itself so I ended up ringing them back. In the end I took the 3rd broken machine back to PCWorld (Novo will give you a replacement code to give the vendor) and they gave me a replacement in the shop. This one has been working fine since then (other than a few minor issues).
    FYI re your question - DOS BIOS is the underlying hardware config before windows boots up - it should be able to tell you if there are hardware issues. Unfortunately Lenovo replace this with their own bios layer - which doesn't really help or show you anything.
    I hope this is helpful!

  • Lately my screen keeps going black with no warning,what could cause this?

    on my laptop, my screen goes black, I can't continue my work. What could this be?

    Ok,
    This is a 4.1 MacBook early 2008 in white?
    First of all, I would try resting the SMC link here on how to do so.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    See if that provides any solution to your problem.
    if not then it's more than likely to be the common fault of the invertor board found in the display housing.
    Not a very nice job to replace and advisable to get Apple to carry out the repair for you.
    But let hope it's not that.
    Best of Luck
