Satellite L10 screen very dark after disassembling

Hi All
I took my Satellite L10 apart to swap over the top plastic for a damaged hinge.
Now looks great but something went wrong as the screen isn't being illuminated now.
Anyone have any suggestions what else could it be?
If I look at the screen in the light I can see the desktop, I bought a new inverter thinking this was the problem but it's not fixed it :(
Maybe a second faulty inverter? I've checked all the connections etc...
Thanks in advance!
Rich

Hi
For me it sounds like inverter issue.
If you see the desktop and if the picture appears like behind thick fog then in most cases such issue is related to the FL inverter.
I dont know if the inverter is faulty or if you connected all the parts wrong
Both can be possible and therefore I would recommend talking with a local notebook technician.
In your case the old part(s) should be checked firstly before buying a new FL inverter, cable, etc
Cheers

6288 - screen goes dark after 15 seconds

Hi
Have just purchased a 6288. Screen goes dark after 10 - 15 seconds if you don't touch the keypad - very annoying if reading a message. Have turned Power saver and sleep mode off, but screen still goes dark. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
Thanks

Yes it is quite annoying. The screen saver time out does little to remedy this. A way around it that I use is to reassign the navikeys. you can dictate what each button does :go to menu > settings > my shortcuts > navigation key. my up goes to contacts, left goes to new message, right goes to music player and down does nothing. so every time the screen goes black, I just hit the down key to turn it back on.

Screen goes dark after dialing

When I place a call using my contacts or my keypad, the screen goes dark after hitting the green "send" button. It stays dark until I hang up. How do I get the screen light to stay on when I place a call?

This phone has a sensor if you put the phone to your face or even put your hand over to near the top of the screen it will go dark. There is a sensor to prevent false activation of the touch screen.
I found when my phone is working on the car adabter it goes dark rather fast when I make a call. I use a Bluetooth earphone most of the time with this phone. I don't feel comfortable holding it to my ear.
If I see the screen go dark and I need access, I simply run my finger up from the bottom of the screen to bring it back to life.
I am going to look in to this part of the phones operation a little more closely to see if there is anything else I can bring up about this...

My macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again

my macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again. i don't have an external monitor, so i just deal with it. i'm about done dealing with it and am wondering if anyone else had/has this problem, and how did you solve it?

You have a hardware problem. It needs to be fixed.
Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

Imac screen went dark after power interruption any suggestions?

My son's imac screen went dark after a power interupption (someone turning the computer off by pulling cord out of electric socket) and I can't get it to go back on. I've already tried depressing the "command, alt,p and r" keys to get a restart, and while it did restart, still no picture on the screen. Occasionally you can see white staticy lines, but mostly it is just dark. I've seen the suggestions to update software and back up data but that isn't possible as far as I can tell because I can't see anything on the screen - it is totally dark! Any suggestions? He is coming home from a trip today and hasn't had any access to computer for some time - he is going to freak

First try iMac SMC and PRAM reset, please do each of them 2x. If that does not work then try restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. You did not mention the version of OS X running on the machine, if you are running Snow Leopard then install the Snow Leopard disc in the SuperDrive and restart, when you hear the start up tone hold down the Option key and start from the SL disc and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions & Repair Disk.

700P Sprint Update 1.10 - Screen goes dark after sync

I updated my Sprint 700P yesterday to V1.10 Palm software. All seemed to go well with the update, until I tried to restore my data with a HotSync.
The sync seems to go normally, but at the end, it says a "reset is necessary"...after the reset, the screen goes dark right after the Palm logo appears. The phone seems to be still working.....just no visible screen.
I spent hours on this yesterday....now have no working phone.....very frustrated.

Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Yes
i just replaced my 700p due to this issue and return home to find that nothing has been resolved.
It turns out that the update is rather seriously flawed. There is no way to revert the update so, Verizon (after checking with Palm) replaced my Treo and suggested that I not run the update again.
Now the sync issue that you describe.
There appears to be files associated with your treo on the Palm software on your desktop that are set for installation. This was due to the update i believe. These files: specifically those associated with AudibleAir.pdb are creating havoc during the sync.
The Work-around that Palm suggested to me which appears to work (on the new phone with the original ROM) is as follows:
1) Hard Reset the Treo
2) Re-sync the treo
!> When it asks you to choose the correct id, DO NOT DO SO!!!
3) Create a new ID for the treo and continue the sync.
This way these bad files are no longer set for installation because you are not using the same account as when you ran the update utility.
I would be interested to know if this works with a Treo 700p with the new ROMs installed.
My method requires the old ROMS and Palm in its infinite wisdom has not created any means of rolling back to the old ones. Thus a catastrophic update.

HT3946 LX3 RAW files very dark after updating to Aperture 3.3.2

Since updating to version 3.3.2 my RAW files from my lumix LX3 appear very dark and with a green caste in both thumbnail and full views. My Nikon NEF files are fine. Anybody else had this problem?

Actually, looks like the sliders are greyed out on all settings, manual, Av, and Tv?? This just happened recently and I don't think there was an update. I rebuilt the database already. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Screen goes dark after latest update

Screen goes dark, but you can still make out widgets faintly in background

If you can make out the screen enough, go to Settings > Brightness and turn it up. If you can't see or it is turned up, try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

Satellite A210 - Screen turs off after the Windows startup screen

when I boot my windows there is the startup screen. After this my screen turns off and can't login to windows.

Where can I get some old drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600, which I can install without starting windows?

> Where can I get some old drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600, which I can install without starting windows?
Please dont understand me wrong but I think you are on the wrong way.
Device drivers (graphic card, LAN, etc.) have to be installed within running system (i.e: Windows OS, etc)
Im sure; driver isnt the problem if nothing is visible on the screen.
First of all I would recommend you to connect the notebook to an external screen/monitor just to check if something would be visible on the 2nd display.
But just one question: did you try to boot the notebook using a bootable disk (windows installation disk, Toshiba recovery disk or similar???).
Maybe the Windows system is muddled up and therefore you are not able to boot up the system? In my opinion you should test this option.

T41 screen goes dark after one second while powering up

T41 2379-DKU running XP Pro. I power on the machine, the screen lights up with the logo for a second and goes totally dark, but I can still very dimly see the logo on the screen with room lighting.
I replaced the motherboard a year ago for the "flex" failure. Was working fine prior to this, no pink in whites, clear, accurate color rendition. What is broken? Inverter? Backlight?, none of the above?

The inverter that powers your display backlight is failing and needs to be replaced.

Satellite A100: Screen goes blank after a while of no action and can't be reactivated

Hi all
I am after a bit of advise/help. I have a satellite A100 & after its been on for an extended period with no keyboard input (like burning dvds), the screen goes blank. It doesn't matter which keys I press I can't make it come back on. The only way out of it that I have found is to restart the machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Gary

Hi,
normally this means the machine is in standby mode (power LED is blinking orange). To reactivate you have to push the power button. Then it should bring back all opened windows as before going into standby.
You can deactivate standby function in the power management. (Start -> control panel -> power management)
Bye

Screen is dark after hibernation

I recently used bootcamp to load Windows 7 on my Macbook. Lately, I have noticed that when my Mac is taken out of hibernation or sleep while in the Windows partition, the screen is almost completely black. You can still barely see the Windows desktop, but not enough to work in. The only solution I have been able to find is to restart te computer. Any ideas?

FW 800 screen goes dark after startup

My 1.25 GHz FW 800 15" Powerbook is having startup problems similar to some things I've found here but not identical to any of them.
It boots normally to the Finder but, after about 1 minute, the trackpad and cursor stop responding and then the display goes dark and the machine goes into what seems to be a low power sleep mode -- Caps Lock light still on but display will not illuminate if keys are pressed. Machine won't wake and must be rebooted.
This happens while connected to a 65 W power adapter and with or without a battery in place. (Tested with 2 different power adapters.) Power lights on the battery indicate full charge. Connector ring shows normal green status.
If I boot from a DVD, the machine runs indefinitely without shutting down but the keyboard and trackpad don't respond and I have to use an external keyboard and mouse (both of which work normally). The fact that it runs indefinitely seems to differ from the known temperature sensor failure; the fact that the trackpad and keyboard don't work in this mode may still point to a top case problem, though.
Based on these symptoms, I assumed that I needed to replace the PRAM battery (backup battery). Unfortunately, even after carefully replacing the battery and letting it charge while connected to the power adapter for several days, the same symptoms persist. (Tested with 2 different replacement PRAM batteries although one of them may have been worn out.)
Resetting the PMU has not changed anything. Resetting PRAM has not changed anything.
This has happened in both OS 10.4 and and a fresh install of 10.4.8. Apple Service Diagnostics found no hardware problems when run for multiple cycles.
I'd appreciate any diagnoses or suggestions for repairs.
thanks,
pat

adamgritz,
I'm quoting myself from an earlier post...
"This behavior on the Wallstreet running any version of OSX is normal •IF• you have no working main battery and you also disconnect the power adapter. Once all power is lost to the power manager, OSX somehow modifies the power manager in a way that causes backlight issues. Booting back into 9.x cures the problem; in addition, this issue does not occur with 9.x and loss of power, only OSX. As long as the power manager is maintained via a charged main battery and/or power adapter, this "fix" will stick. The PRAM battery (internal rechargeable backup battery) can maintain the power manager for a few hours if fully charged (and working) without any other source of power but your 10 year old Wallstreet probably has a dead or weak battery...these powerbooks will run without a PRAM battery."
In addition, if you do not have 9.x installed, any bootable non-OSX CD will solve the problem.

Screen goes dark after opening

Late Model 2010 Macbook pro, opening screen from closed position allows the screen to turn on as normal, but two seconds later, goes to complete black. Temporary fix includes hitting F1 to lower brightenss (if the screen was at full brightness) or F1 or F2 (if screen was not at full brightness) changing this brightness level brings back screen to full brightness -1. this problem seems to be pretty prevelent and related to the nvidia card ro something simialr. are there any known fixes? will apple acknowlege this. this just started happening to me a week or so ago but i've seen articles are far back as early 2011 with the same symptoms.

The below linked article may have helpful information about the problem.

HP truevision HD - VERY DARK PICTURES

Hey, i just bought my HP pavilion dv6-6135dx 4 weeks ago at new hampshire. no here's what happened.
So 2 weeks in after i got my hp pavilion laptop i had encountered a virus, after getting this virus i had to reinstall windows 7
by restarting the computer and pressing f11 to load up hp system restore. After that i went on the support and drivers page
and reinstalled all the drivers but something strange happened after i installed the bios update, i had found out that my
webcam had became very very dark.
after doing so i went on cyberlink youcam and the screen appeared very dark, i could see my self but it was a black silhoutte
i begin playing around with the light settings but nothing happened. it was still the same.
I even tried another webcam program.
That didn't work.
So then i tried disabling the webcam software and enabling it again. But the picture was still the same
AFTER THAT i uninstalled the HD truvision driver and installed it back again
BUT STILL nothing changed. I've went on over 10 other forums which discussed this same issue but all of them
simply suggested to change the lighting and brightness settings, which as you have seen have not work.
To add on to this problem i don't think i will be able to return this laptop because it is way pass the return date
but im still not sure if i can do that since i don't have the bus because as i have mentioned i bought this from
new hampshire for vacation and brought it back with me to seattle, and i couldn't bring the box with me so i had to
throw it away and the laptop is still on warranty but when i called HP tech support they said there not sure if i can
have this laptop replace because i didn't buy this laptop directly from the hp website but instead at best buy.
VERY VERY CONFUSING ISSUE, ANY SUGGESTIONS TO FIX THIS?
Remeber i went to 10 other forums so changing the brightness will not work lol and i had pictures.....

guys i finally found out the fix for it!!! i guess we all would have had changed the brightness contrast exposure for the betterment, but it really screws the settings!!! will tell you the steps.. i use youcam 3.5 so just follow my instructions!!!
1. open youcam
2. click enhance the current video image (6th icon from top, just next to the video image appears, place ur pointer over the icons for few secs to know what it is)
3. Click advanced
4. under video proc amp slide the backlight comp to 1 or 2 (doesnt matter )
5, now click the camera control tab
6. click default, then u could see only exposure visible or editable , now just tick the "auto" box !!! click ok.
and now everything is back!!! hope this helps out, and dont screw up with the settings again!!! thank you
