Pavilion dv6-2044ca laptop screen won't turn on, unresponsive

Hi, I have an HP Pavilion dv6-2044ca laptop that was purchased in late 2009, running windows 7. It was working normally the other night when I went to get a drink, and when I came back the screen was off. I couldn't get the screen to turn back on by moving my mouse, so I shut the computer down and restarted it. When I started it back up, it sounded normal, but the screen continued to not turn on. I tried taking out the battery and holding the power button for the power reset method referenced often on these forums, to no avail. I hooked it up to an external monitor but nothing showed up. When turned on, the caps lock and num lock lights won't turn on, however the light indicating it's plugged in, the lights for sound and wifi, and the light indicating the mousepad is turned on all light up. I have made no changes to the hardware or software in weeks. I'm at a loss as to problem solving methods at this point, and would greatly appreciate a more experienced opinion on the matter!

Try a hard reset. Remove battery and AC power. Hold down power button 30 seconds. Now put AC power to it and try to fire it up. It is a 100 to 1 longshot but worth trying. If that does not work it ain't sounding good. Maybe try removing and reseating the RAM sticks, but other than that a new motherboard might be the only fix.

Laptop screen won't turn on

Screen won't turn on. Nonlights will light up on the keybaord aside from the WiFi light and power light. Normally there is a light for mute, capslocks and the finger mouse. Tapping any one those buttons does not turn the lights on.

Laptop screen won't turn on after sleep, requires reboot

I close the screen to my Macbook Pro when going to be away for a length of time. Until recently, the screen would turn on when I opened the computer. Now, although the computer is on, the screen won't light up when I open it. The laptop now requires a forced rebook in order for the screen to work. Will this require a service call?

My Laptop Screen won't turn on upon start up

I have an HP Pavillion DV4 laptop and whenever I turn it on the screen never turns on. So I tried to hold the power button down to completely shut it off. Then I waited about 30 seconds then I turned it on again and the screen still would not turn on. What is the problem here because this is driving me CRAZY. If anyone knows the problem, it would be greatly appriciated.

hi there, I got HP Notebook, I just left my notebook about half an hour and come back, the screen didnt come on, I tried taking battery out and in, pressing the power button, and when I turned it on lights came on and asked me whether windows to start on normal or safe mode, and chose normal then windows wouldn't start, it is all black screen and I can hear windows loading, but black screen, then I tried to put it on safe mode, and windows started on safe mode , but soon as I turned it to normal windows, wouldn't start, so Please let me what should I do, anything I can do, or I should take it to pc repair centers. Hello bulldog43.
So, you're able to boot into Windows when using Safe Mode but not normal mode? To me this implies that the issue is software related. The most likely cause is the video card driver. To begin I would suggest trying to reinstall your video card's driver in Safe Mode.
I will be happy to locate this software for you and type out some instructions. I will need your product number for this. Take a look at this document to see where to locate your product number.
I will keep an eye out for your reply. I hope you have a great day!

Laptop screen won't turn back on after being waked up from pm-suspend

I installed pm-utils and acpid to make my laptop sleep when the lid is shut.
To do this I altered my /etc/acpi/handler.sh to look like this
http://pastebin.com/9DgQQ30Z
Changing lines 57, 58 and 59 to:
button/lid)
#echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
esac
The laptop suspends completely fine, and the power light turns from a solid light to flashing. But when I open the lid, the laptop wakes up fine, except for the screen which just stays completely black.
I can't do anything to get it back on, I even can't switch to any virtual terminals, forcing me to to a hard reboot.
This happens also when I just run "sudo pm-suspend" normally with the lid open and use the power button to wake back up. Wakes up fine except for the screen.

First thing that would be helpful to know would be to know what kind of computer you have (e.g. model).
I actually had an identical problem with my laptop. It ended up being an issue with the wireless drivers included in the kernel. Ultimately had to blacklist them and install the ones from the vendor's website. Anyways, start with the model, and we can try to help you from there

Dual Display - Laptop screen won't wake up 50%+ of the time

My laptop is connected to an external monitor, with the monitor set as the primary display.
I put the laptop to sleep by closing the lid.
Often, when I open the lid the laptop screen will not turn on. Just the monitor, and then it acts as if it is a single display. The only way I've figured out how to fix this is to completely shut down the laptop and boot back up.
This started suddenly last month, right after changing jobs. The new job had an unknown amount of software installed (including MS Entourage) and the entire system encrypted by the new company's IT department. I don't know if these are related, but the coincidence is hard to ignore.
I also will occasionally not be able to fully wake the computer. I'll get a black screen and a mouse cursor but never get the log in prompt to bring it out of screen saver mode. This problem sometimes occurs with the above issue, but often they are separate. Though this also just started. (I suspect this second issue could just be performance problems with new software bogging down the system over several days). Although the same solution is to shut down the system. It's just that in this case, the only way to shut down is to force it with the power button.

I have a similar problem that just started recently. I've been using a dual monitor (Wacom Cintiq) since last Novemeber, and now at random times when I attempt to wake up the computer I get a black screen on both monitors. I know the computer is on because of the system beeps I generate while pressing the keys. The monitor just won't come on. Normally I thought the power light below the latch opening would cycle up and down, while asleep, but when this problem happens it is just on. When the lid is opened the light fades out. Computer is running, just no screen. The last time this happened I had to power it down. I've tried disconnecting the Wacom Cintiq monitor, the external keyboard and the Wacom tablet. No Luck.

[Help]iPhone 5s screen won't turn on / won't play sounds

Hello, my name is Bryan.
I've got a problem with my iPhone 5s. I opened my iPhone to fix an issue with the home button (Watched a guide on youtube on how to achieve this), and I connected everything as it is supposed to go, my home button is working but now my screen won't turn on or the phone won't play any sounds. I know the phone it's on because I can connect it to the computer and the computer recognizes it. Also, I tried calling it, and it rings on the phone I am calling from, but my iPhone simply won't play any sounds...
I am also sure the phone is not in DFU mode.
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
- Bryan

It won't even vibrate or do anything, but it's on.

After I dropped my Iphone 4s my back glass broke and now the screen won't turn on neither respond to touch but i can hear incoming calls and notifications. I tried pluggin to computer/other power sources and also tried pushing the home and power button together for about 20 seconds

It's broken due to neglect, namely being dropped. Replace it.

My Blackberry Curve 9380's screen won't turn on!

My Blackberry Curve 9380's display screen won't turn on! The flashing red light still appears so I guess I am still able to receive texts. I can also receive calls; my ring tone goes off but I cannot answer! I have to unlock it and I can't do anything on a touch screen that's virtually useless now. I've done so many battery pulls yet it doesn't work.
I did drop it but it wasn't very hard. My bb fell when it was in my rubber case and the fall was around knee length (I am very short only 5'0). My friend said its possible that the backlight broke. If it is true, how much does it cost to repair it? My warranty expired a few weeks ago...
My friend also said there could be something else wrong with it. Like a downloaded an app that had a corrupt file (this has happened to me before and the phrase "Uncaught exception java.lang.error" kept popping up every time I did a battery pull) or a programming error. I tried Jl_Cmder and I've done reset to factory. I've even tried to wipe everything completely. "The device will reboot to a white screen with a '507' error" this didn't happen... It did reboot but nothing can be seen. I regret it deeply ...
I'm sorry this is so long but please can someone help me? ):

Ouch, that doesn't sound good. Even though it's out of warranty, you should check first with your mobile provider for a repair estimate.
Sorry!

My screen won't turn on even though i recieve calls, can charge it...

It seems kinda weird but things happened this way:
I bought my iphone5c 3 days ago and everything seemed right. Today I was playing some ****** game on it when i suddenly decided to lock it and keep it in my pocket since i was in school. I did. When i tried using it again, the screen won't turn on. The thing is: everytime I try changing it from loud to silent and viceversa, it does vibrate. I called my number from another phone and it does ring and vibrate, but the screen won't turn on. I connected it to the computer and to the charger, and both make that little sound when they're connected to something. The screen didn't turn on in any of those actions...
As i told you, my phone is 3 days old. Hasn't been ever hit, exposed to water or anything like that...
What the **** can I do? I feel kinda betrayed with Apple, since i bought this device 3 days ago.
Someone help me !!!

i have tried this and nothing happens. did my phone turn into a brick in my hand this morning? it was working fine and the screen turned funny colors and faded to black and havent got anything but a apple logo once since. i have tried everything i could find on the support site to no avail. i did get a screen with a picture of a cord, and arrow to the itunes logo. but it will not connect to itunes. please help!!

My macbook screen won't turn on and it keeps beeping at me...help!

I tryed turning on my macbook pro 13'' and the screen won't turn on and it keeps beeping at me and flashing the white light on the front of the computer at the same time. any suggestions?

Beeping sounds usually indicate a RAM or logicboard problem.
If you have third party RAM recently installed, put the factory RAM back in.
Use the free MacTracker to find out your correct RAM spec and return the defective RAM for a exchange or buy top tier RAM from Crucial.com or OtherWorld Computing.
If you didn't mess with the RAM, take the machine to Apple for a free eval.

My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

Hi , I own a hp pavilion dv6 6050se laptop bought in UAE during 2011, I have lost the recovery discs

Hi , I own a hp pavilion dv6 6050se laptop bought in UAE during 2011, I have lost the recovery discs.
How do i get a copy of recovery discs??

Hi,
I don't see any link on your Product Page to order a replacement set of Recovery Discs, but it's always worth calling HP directly and see if you can order them this way.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are unable to order these discs from HP, here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

My screen won't turn

MY screen won't turn from sideway to straight up. How do I get it todo that?

Make sure the rotation lock isn't on.
Double tap the Home button and then swipe to the left to make sure the circular arrow doesn't show a lock.
More info and other ideas here -> iPhone and iPod touch: Screen does not rotate

My ipad screen won't turn one way when I turn/bump my ipad (will do one side but not the other)

Yes there is a rotation lock setting.
First try the switch above the volume rocker. If that doesnt work then double click the home button. It should display a multitasking bar at the bottom of the screen. Slide that to the right and it should display a few settings including screen lock. Make sure that it is unchecked.

My screen won't turn on my iphone 4

My screen won't turn wide on my iphone 4. There is a little lock symbol at the top of the screen. I don't know how to unlock it.

It won't turn sideways if you're on the home screen, and certain apps only have the option to work in portrait mode.
Is orientation lock on? Is the screen not rotating in apps that worked before?
