Satellite A135 black screen and does not boot

I have a Satellite A135 running windows vista and I have not used it in over a year.
I have gone to use it today and it powers up but the screen is blank. I can't even see the bios.
I have tried the usual things connecting to a monitor , removed the ram chip from the back and tried a different one, I also tried ac power only with no luck.
Any ideas what it could be.
Thanks for the help

Hi
I have similar problems with the grey screen syndrome, I connected the computer to an external monitor and had to repeatedly reselect the monitor to PC as the monitor defaulted each time to AV1. Reselecting PC appeared to work. Best of luck, I have been grappling with this problem for months!

PopcornTime starts with a black screen and does not load

I installed PopcornTime from the AUR and it does not seem to load. When I launch the application, it simply loads a black screen and does not move from there. When I launch the application from the terminal, I get this output.

It seems as though quite a few files are missing, though the yaourt built the application just fine.

I had the same issue with the git version. Install the stable version and it should work fine

21" iMac getting white screen and does not boot up

Hi All!
This is my first time to post here but have been using Mac OS since 2009.
I am having issues with my Mid 2011 iMac 21". I keep getting a white screen and it does not boot up.
I am a bit technical so I have done all the necessary steps as below:
1. Powercycle the system (Shutdown, unplug for 10 seconds and replug) = No go
2. Reset NVRAM several times = No go
3. Went to Safe Boot = Vertical white stripes on blue screen appears
4. Tried booting on Recovery Disk = Vertical white stripes on blue screen appears
I'm thinking my video card is faulty now.
Any help guys? I hope my hard drive is not fried
What's worse, my 3 year extended warranty just expired last June and it's only been 3 months

First i can't send it back becuase it didnt have a warranty i purchased it on ebay. second the guy didnt send the install disks with it as he promised i have tried to follow up with him with no luck so hes been reported to ebay. and due to current buisiness expenses cant afford the new software. is there anything else i can do to at least boot the thing so i can figure out whats wrong with it. and has anybody experienced this before and if so how was the issue resolved. soooo frustrated as buisiness is at a stand still till this machine works. p.s.it has osx leopard latest version.

My iPad 2 just stopped playing videos. The original comes with the iPad video icon opens with a blank black screen and does not repond. I have shut all apps, shut the computer down, but no good. Where to from here?

My iPad just stopped playing videos. The original app that comes with the iPad opens with a blank black screen. I have shut all apps, and the shutdown the co ad, but no effect. Where to from here?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then I normally suggest closing the Videos app via the taskbar and re-opening it, and then a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds unilt the Apple logo should appear - but as it sounds like you've alreadt tried that, then see if the spotlight search works.

Satellite M40-129 BSOD and does not boot correctly

Hi again.
I was working on my computer since my last question, but (almost) nothing changed.
To the problem:
My Notebook is booting, but only on very rare occasions.
What can happen:
- the screen stays black (almost 50% the case)
- The start screen (Toshiba- In touch with tomorrow) becomes visible and nothing happens then (40% )
- the notebook boots "properly" (10%)
if the notebook boot properly there are 2 options:
1st: I try to start Windows: it crashes with a bluescreen with the nice ask for an BIOS update.
2nd: I start SuSe Linux: EVERYTHING WORKS!
I tried to update the BIOS the traditional way and although it's hard to get it booted it works till short before the end and the computer restarts.
I see no confirmation screen as Im used to.
From this I asume, that the boot-problem is BIOS related.
I read of a BIOS recovery method with a floppy disk, where you copy the BIOS.ROM to the disk and start the notebook with the disk.
My question is: Is it also possible with an CD (have no floppy drive), if yes: how to do this?
I wanted to give it to a service point of Toshiba, but if they cannot fix it, I still have to pay 50Euro. I would pay the money for getting my BIOS restored, but the service point seems to be just a "delivery-service" to the true service point and I would like to speak with a qualified person first :)

Hmm you said you have already received the traditional BIOS files from the ASP in your country. So maybe you should take a look into this Toshiba document:

My iPad Mini has a black screen and does not respond to anything.

I got my iPad Mini 6 days ago, and this morning I woke up to it overheating (to a point which any contact with it, or the case) was painful. Along with this overheating, the screen was and still is black. The iPad is not responding when I try to turn it on, off, hard reset it, etc.. It has not been taken off charge in approximately 6 hours, so I highly doubt lack of battery is a reason.
HElp, please. And thank you in advance.

Time to make an appointment with Apple.

Mac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

IMac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still?!

When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still. So I need to hold down the keyboard while i open it. Other than that it works fine despite the fact that the fan noise some times is loud and sometimes it's getting warm at the base. I wonder if this can be fixed if i go to one of the apple branches.

Yes. Take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.

HT4764 when i open safari, it opens with a highlighted screen and does not respond

when i open safari, it opens with a highlighted screen and does not respond

So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

HT3964 my imac 27 display has 5 blue lines and does not boot up what is the problem?

My Imac 27 displays 5 blue vertical lines and does not boot up. What could cause this?

I already anticipated the video card causing this issue. This was confirmed today by Apple issuing a campaign indicating the AMD Radeon 6970M video cards are defectivce and will be replaced free of charge three years from date of purchase. I looked at the new iMacs and found repairing them to be a nightmare. So, once this p.o.s. is repaired, I'm selling it and purchasing an ABA computer.

Satellite L300 - Black screen and flashing cursor in top left corner

11 July 2010
My computer bought 7 March 2009.
I am not sure if there is a voltage issue, but there is certainly a heat issue and has been since I bought it, almost constantly overheating. For circa 2 months it has become increasingly slower to load to desktop. For circa 1 month the operating system became stuck in a reboot cycle - rebooting over and over instead of starting up normally.
On 11 July 2010, the Windows XP operating system would not boot. Switched on to black screen, flashing cursor in top left corner. The computer does not have a Windows Startup Disk and will not boot into: -
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration (most recent settings that worked)
Start Windows Normally
System Restore - will not provide access.
Recovery Console - the Windows XP CD will boot and provided access to the tool called Recovery Console. Procedures carried out: -
Fix a corrupt Boot.ini - YES
Fix a corrupt partition boot sector - YES
Fix a corrupt master boot record - NO
I have pressed F2, F8, F10 and F12.

Hello
It seems that something has muddled up your Windows installation and so the computer cant boot anymore.
In this case you have only one option and thats reinstalling Windows. Therefore you can take a Microsoft Windows XP disk or (better) Toshiba recovery disk. It will restore factory settings and your computer is read to use again.

My iPod has a flickering black screen and will not turn on. What can I do?

I accidentally left my iPod in my car for a few hours. It reached about 80 degrees outside, so I am worried. It did not turn on at all. Afterwards, I let it cool down and it still will not turn on. I plugged it into my laptop (PC) and it still does nothing. If flickers between two shades of black, but it does not do anything. I am starting to think it may have affected the battery. I have been experiencing problems with it not wanting to turn on without being plugged in for months now, but I did not really do anything about it.
I need help. I do not know what to do, so any form of help will be greatly apreciated!

I was afraid of this, to be honest. I kind of figured that I broke it completely.
I no longer have a warranty on it because I have had it for about three years, so I do not even know if it is worth taking in or if I would be better off with buying a new one.
If I were to replace the battery, would that help with the display or would it still be flickering a black screen?
* Sidenote: I do not like that I am not too savvy when it comes to Apple products, so I apolgize if it seems like I am repeating myself or sound confusing.

Satellite U305-S7432 freezes and does not respond sometimes using Win XP

Hello.
I have a Satellite U305-S7432 notebook.
Originally it came with Vista but I reformatted with XP Pro. I have installed all updates up to service pack 3.
My problem is that sometimes when I try to restart the computer it simply freezes and does not respond at all to any input. I notice that this happens if I close and later open the lid (meaning that the computer goes input standby mode and comes back).
Please note that the standby mode works perfectly fine and the computer leaves standby fine but afterwards when I try to restart, the computer will simply hang instead of restarting.
If it never enters standby mode, the restart takes place as expected.
I have installed all drivers and there are no question marks in Device Manager. I updated to the latest chipset driver from Intel (for the mobile 965) as well. Lastly, I also tried adding /forceresetreg to my boot.ini (as suggested by: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822624) but to no avail.
Any ideas?

This is a Toshiba US notebook series and you should check the Toshiba US driver page for available drivers:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
If you will not find the XP drivers at this page then you could try to install some single drivers for Sat U300 from the Toshiba European page but Im not quite sure if such XP drivers will run on you Sat U305. But its worth a try!
Good luck
