No led,no backlight,double beep,no internal screen in windows.

Hi,
I've got a problem with my lovely t400. Few days ago the screen started to work badly. When i turned on the computer, screen was dark. When I connect it to ac and wait for a while the green led for power supply lights up. Today, I've done the same thing, but the led won't light.
Hopefully i've got an external screen so i can work with my comp. I've checked the properties in windows, and there is only external screen. I've taken all the plastics from the screen and saw that led's are on but very dim. Also when there isn't external screen connected, t400 beep twice on the start up.
Screen is ccfl.
I've checked voltages on inverter:
- there is 20v on input
- on led is only 1,5v
- on output is about 1v AC
Fuses on MB are ok.
I've ordered new inverter and its still doesn't work.

If yoy are talking about the output to the bulb, it is AC, not DC. That's what the inverter does - it makes the AC to run the bulb. It is hard to diagnose without seeing it, but it sounds like your panel is bad.

  • Intermittent double beep and grey screen on startup

    I just installed new third party RAM for my iMac (2008), because it was on sale. The initial RAM they sent me caused a kernel panic (forced shutdown) so I assumed they were faulty and sent them back. I just received my second set of RAM modules - which appear to work -- kind of. I have not had the kernel panic screen and no problems once the computer is booted, however about every second or third time I restart the computer I get the grey screen and a series of double beeps (which I have found out means incompatible RAM on startup testing). The hardware testing utility on my OSX Disc tests the RAM as being OK. I found a free app called rember which reports RAM errors. My question is: have I got a second set of faulty RAM - should I be looking at getting another brand (the one I have is "Add-On" and was specifically marketed as being for the aluminum intel based iMacs).
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Machaon42
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    That sounds like incorrect or incompatible RAM, double check the spec's of that RAM compared to either your User's Guide or > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1760
    Then compare OWC's price, it is iMac tested and highly recommended by forum members.

  • M58p at start-up double beep, no post screen, no splash

    Hi there,
    Yesterday my Avast antivurus crashed, which itself was very unusual. I have run a quick check and found a few trojans, which names I have forget regrettably.
    I've scheduled a deep scan at the boot, reboot and left for work. Upon return I found the computer with a black screen, impossible to restart.
    At the boot one can only hear cpu and chassis fan tests, then a double beep and then nothing. No post screen nor splash screens. Can't enter BIOS settings.
    The monitor is OK. I've reset the CMOS and battery, to no avail. One  by one I have removed all peripherals trying to boot at each step, but the outcome was consistently null.
    Dealing with such symptoms I would normally assume the motherboard is good to go to the bin, but the specific circumstances -  trojans and all this stuff - make me think twice. Could some trojan or other malware put me in such a mess? If so, what to do next?

    Trojans shouldn't affect booting. I hear two beeps out of an M58 and I immediately reset the memory. M58s are sensitive to the memory sticks being jossled out of position. Completely remove your memory and re-seat the sticks in the same slots. Did that do the trick??

  • I was surfing the net when my computer started emitting double beeps. I shut it down with no problem but I can't find any info on double beeps that did not occur at startup (haven't tried starting it back up yet though). What happened?

    Quite the trial to sign in to freaking Apple support.  I apparently made an account with my primary e-mail, but damned if I can recover the password, apparently I don't know my own birthday.  So I had to make a new account with another e-mail, and even when I thought it was done, no, I had to fill out more information before I could get to this screen.  You won't let me ask for tech support from your message board without my mailing address?  Then my completely inoccuous user name was rejected for containing banned words.  Lemurs and cats are profane now, what?  This is why I hate computers.
    Anyway, I've got Mac OS X 4.something, can't check because it is shut down, and I already described my problem in the subject there before I got dragged back into account creation.  I searched several places for answers but all I can find are discussions about double beeping at startup (even when excluding the word "startup" from search results), while my double beeping started all of a sudden when the computer was in use.  The beeps were certainly less than a minute apart.  What happened? What do I need to do about it? Is it safe to start the computer up again?  Fortunately my files are pretty much all backed up.

    I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
    Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
    In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder.  in the dialogue box type
    /var/db/crls
    In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
    Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash.  It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards.  I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process.  It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
    I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem.  Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
    Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.

  • After downloading Quicktime 7.7.4 for Windows I keep getting four double beeps ever 10-15 sec.  When I uninstall the software, the beeping goes away.  Any ideas on what is causing this?

    After downloading Quictime version 7.7.4 for Windows on my Dell Inspiron Ultrabook with Windows 8 installed, I keep getting 4 double beeps ever 10-15 second.  However when I unistall the software the beeping stops.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome!
    You have several thing at play. The first, most likely to cause a crash, and easiest to fix is that you have Safari in the wrong place:
    Path:            /Users/Rich/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    You have the Safari Application on the Desktop but, to work correctly, it must be in the Applications folder :
    Path: Macintosh Hard Drive > Applications.
    Second, you have some third-party plug-ins or extensions that can cause trouble. Try deactivating DivX---it is known to prevent videos on Apple's web site from working. Also turn off the EverNote extension until you as sure everything is stable. Check for an Evernote update.
    See how things go with Safari in the proper place and with extensions turned off. Then turn extensions back on one at a time and test for stability
    The fact that you are running Flash 10.3 makes me think you have a newer iMac than covered in this forum. PPC Macs can run no higher than Flash 10.1, so you may be in a forum for models older than yours. Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and see what the processor description reads. If it includes the word "Intel," you should post future questions here:
    iMac (Intel)
    There is also a separate forum for Safari troubleshooting regardless of what model Mac you have:

  • Double Beep at regular intervals on Satellite P100 series

    Hello,
    I just bought a Satellite P100 Notebook.
    The Notebook makes a double beep every few minutes, even if I unplug the power supply.
    When I turn it off, the beeping continues.
    The speakers don't seem to work, even though the volume settings are all on.
    Thanks for some help,
    Cheers Larso.

    Hello Larso
    Did you install own OS or you use already preinstalled factory settings?
    In my opinion those things should not happen and if I were you I would contact local dealer and confront him with those issues. The unit is new and before you start any kind of troubleshooting check this with dealer.
    The only thing you can try is to preinstall unit with recovery media. On this way the OS will be clean preinstalled and you can check if the problem persists.

  • Double Beep when running

    Every now and again i get a double beep from the system speaker when my machine is running, i cannot get to the bottom of this , and was looking for my suggestions.
    Also my benchmarks seem a little low from sisoft , compared to some of the benchmarks on this board. (my bios is set as it comes as standard with no changes). Any pointers on this would be more than welcome.
    Benchmark Results
    Dhrystone ALU : 9094 MIPS
    Whetstone FPU : 3265 MFLOPS
    Whetstone iSSE2 : 4236 MFLOPS
    Benchmark Results
    RAM Bandwidth Int Buff'd iSSE2 : 2343 MB/s
    RAM Bandwidth Float Buff'd iSSE2 : 2343 MB/s

    perhaps could be the power supply, i have attatched specs below on sig , what do you think.

  • Double beeps on Compaq dc7100 CMT

    Hi, my motherboard HP 929 REV. 0H S28 makes a long double beep every couple of seconds when I'm trying to start it up.
    Computer only had mb, cpu and a power supplier installed when I got it, I've put on new thermal paste, 2x1G of ram + a new hdd but I can't find any instructions on what does those beeps mean.
    When I push the power button sometimes fans take one spin, stop and nothing happens or it starts up with beeping as mentioned but with no bios output or any screen reaction.
    Changing power suppliers for tested (good) one is not making any difference.
    Any ideas?

    Hi:
    Please see the troubleshooting guide at the link below. Appendix A, page A-15.
    Indicates a processor thermal issue.
    http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00189283/c00189283.pdf
    If none of the steps listed resolve the issue, I would suspect the motherboard is toast.

  • Kensington AssistOne makes annoying double beep

    I recently bought a Kensington AssistOne for use with navigation (iGo MyWay) on my iPhone 4. It works well, including for phone calls. However, when there is no other source of sound then the mount periodically emits a double beep sound. Is this meant to happen, and if not then does anyone know what is wrong and how to cure it?
    Many thanks.

    More bad news with iOS 8 on the iPhone 5. When I turn my phone sideways my keyboard often locks up. Pushing the keys does nothing. I have to close the Messages app and reopen it. Also, all of my friends have verified that these issues are occurring on their phones too. Get your stuff together Apple.

  • Internal screen vertical interlaced

    Just out of nowhere my internal screen now and than turns out vertical interlaced. Either with black or white lines, alternating between normal screen at one vertical pixel row and a black/white line on the other. Like the interlace filter from the old days.
    It's seems quite random, no heating issues or special software and the MBP is mostly sitting on my desk.
    The mac keeps on functioning and the external display doesn't show the problem.
    PR-ram/SMC reset didn't resolve the problem, it just stops and shows up again after a while.
    Any idea's what could be wrong? I saw another post covering the same problem, but it wasn't solved.
    Thanks!
    Sebastian.

    Hi all,
    since approximately 4 weeks I have exactly the same problem like you guys describe. I already described it here
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2765765&tstart=45
    but unfortunately nobody answered. Without having "apple care" or any other guaranty, after seeing a couple of pictures from the NVIDIA BUG PROBLEM and talking to some people, I decided to replace the display. Unfortunately the problem continues.
    I think it is not very likely that the NVIDIA BUG Problem is causing such an consistent imaging error like we see it on our screens. All screen shots I have seen were with more chaotic imaging errors like colored blocks or a completely scrambled pictures.
    Anyway...
    Even the Aplle support seems not to be able to figure out what the exact problem is.
    What is with your screen shots ??? Are they OK?
    My screen shots are fine and not showing this vertical interlaced pattern.
    I think they are two components, other than the screen or the grafic board, who could also be the issue.
    The DISPLAY DATA CABLE and the LED DRIVER BOARD..... what do you think about ?
    I appreciate any suggestion,
    thanks

  • GF615M-P33 - Only beep codes, no screen

    Just a built a new computer with the following specs...
    Motherboard: MSI GF615M-P33
    CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 425 Rana
    RAM: Crucial 2GB DDR3 1333, Model: RM25664BA1339 - 1 stick
    HDD: Western Digital 500 GB Caviar - WD5000AAKS
    PSU: Antec 500 Watt Smartpower 2.0
    No graphics or sound cards b/c I wanted to use the onboard chips until I could afford them.
    I plugged everything up and made sure all connections were seated before powering on the system for the 1st time.
    When I powered it up there was 2 beeps and no screen, monitor insisted it wasn't getting a signal.
    Powered down and double checked the connections, everything was connected nice & tight.
    I fired it up again, this time with the case open and heard:
    1 set of 3 low volume but short fast chirps
    pause
    1 set of 3 low volume but short fast chirps
    pause
    louder single longer beep
    pause
    another single longer beep
    I never see anything on the screen except lots flickering
    I powered the computer down and booted back up with the RAM stick removed and heard 3 single beeps with a pause in between each.
    Powered back down and removed CMOS battery for 30 sec, powered back up, no screen and same results as the 2nd time I fired it up.
    Anybody have any clues what I should try next? Or am I facing bad RAM or motherboard? Or do I just need to purchase a 2nd RAM stick?

    I took the motherboard, CPU, and ram assembly back to the shop where I purchased these items. All 3 tested ok on a bench test.

    Motherboard Grounding to case causing No Post
    Test the motherboard outside of the case to verify that the motherboard is not shorting to the case and causing a problem
         •    With only the CPU and heat sink, memory, and video card (or onboard video) connected to the motherboard, place the motherboard on a non-conductive surface and retest the motherboard
         •    Check the case mounting standoffs to verify that they are lining up correctly with the mounting holes on the motherboard.
    This case is from a Compaq Presario SR1210NX - The standoffs in this case are made to it. The manufacturer of the case took a sheet metal plate and pressed it to form the standoffs then it was drilled and tapped. This plate is riveted to the case but does not touch the outer wall. I wanted to reuse this case because it is fairly nice and is easy to work on.
    I tried the motherboard inside the case again, but this time left the screws a little loose so can shift the motherboard a tiny dab at the bottom. Left the case laying on its side, still no go.
    Cleared CMOS by moving the little jumper according to the instructions and tried again on a non-conductive surface, same thing.
    I looked at the label on the power supply, manufactured in 2004, so its 6 years old and this would have been the 4th computer it was installed in.

    Doesn't sound wrong, but check it is seated correctly, in the slot closest to the processor.
    The instructions and motherboard labeling show slot #1 (DIMM 1) to be the one furthest from the processor. Is this a misprint?
    I did try it again with the RAM in the other slot, same results.
    Is it possible that I'm looking at a dead power supply instead? Which doesn't make much sense because both the CPU fan and case fan spin up indicating that they are receiving power. Also the power switch lights up but the harddrive light never comes on. The harddrive is ok because I tested in my external harddrive enclosure and hooked it up to the computer I'm using right now via USB.

  • 2 external monitors and internal Screen on T430S and Mini Dock Plus

    Hi Community,
    I just got my new T430S and the MiniDock Plus. On the website I've ordered the combination I had the impression that I could use two external screens and the internal screen at once.
    Unfortunately I don't manage to find the right settings to achieve that the internal screen is switched on.
    I wonder if its just a question of settings or is it simply not possible to extend the screen over three screens.
    Any help or hint  is greatly appreciated,
    Andreas

    Intel 3000 doesn't support 3 independent LCD in this manner. You would need something USB2DVI or USB2VGA adapter to get the third LCD.

  • IMac 7,1 turning internal screen off while watching a movie via output (second display), possible?

    iMac 7,1 turning internal screen off while watching a movie via output (second display), is it possible with Lion?

    Actually, Plex does the best job by placing a black background to the internal iMac screen it's called Blanking.
    However that does not turn off the backlit which is very bright on the iMac 24" also the internal screen will draw more power that way.   As you probably know running bootcamp you can turn off the internal screen while watching a movie on the external.  This isn't a hardware limitation, I hope Lion has this feature.

  • When I double click my IPAD screen there are apps at the bottom. How can I remove them?

    When I double click my IPAD screen I have apps at the bottom how can I remove them?

    If you are running iOS 6 or iOS 5, those apps are the recently used apps in the recents tray. You don't need to remove then from there, but if you want to do so, you have to close them. You do that by holding down on one of the app icons until they all wiggle, then tap the red minus sign to close the app. Do that to every app that you want to close. Tap the home button when you are done.
