Screen display stays black. Please help!

Hi all,
When I turn on my laptop, the screen does not show the Toshiba logo and it remains black. I've managed to blindly type in the bios password and even type in the user password where i can hear windows starting up but the screen stays black.
Are there any solutions? Like holding down the power button with the battery removed? Help.

Here's an identical situation logged at Toshiba support, They suggest this:
"Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections."

If that doesn't help, the Toshiba rep on the thread suggests that it's probably a hardware problem. It looks like it's not uncommon, if the forum thread is any indication.

Hp Compaq Presario 2100 screen stays black, please help!

My laptop, which is a HP Compaq Presario 2100, stopped working. I'll try to explain the best I can what's going on:
When the laptop is plugged in and then turned on, all of the lights on it will turn on, all of them except for the power indicating light. The screen remains completely off, and it doesn't sound like the hard drive is running, just the fans. The CD drive and floppy drive both work. The weird part is that the things that do turn on only stay on for about 10-20 seconds and then everything shuts down. And no matter how long the laptop is plugged in the charge light never turns on and the battery in the laptop never gains any power. I can tell this because this particular battery comes out and has a manual indicator of power on its side.

Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 and if that doesn't work, then make an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple store to have the hardware checked.

How come when i click on an app on my ipod the screen just stays black?

how come when i click on an app on my ipod the screen just stays black?

It can happen from time to time, especially with third-party apps, though shouldn't happen too often with the ones created by Apple, such as Safari. Turning your iPod completely off and then on again can sometimes help.

How do I find out how many files I have, as an earlier version of iTunes told you at the bottom of the screen. Can you please help me.

See if any of the following fix it.
Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Has your phone been jailbroken? If so, you will likely never get it to work again.
You can try placing your phone in DFU mode (search google) and restoring.

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

+Do a DFU recovery:+
+1. Open iTunes.+
+2. Connect the iPhone+
+3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).+
+4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.+
+5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.+
If not, take it down to mobile dealers that can reset your phone for you. All data will be lost.

Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the iPhone's proximity sensor?
If you are using the case, remove the case to see if the same occurs without the case.
If you are using a case and the same does not occur without the case, you need to get a different case that is specifically designed for your iPhone model taking into account where the light and proximity sensors are located which is different for the first generation iPhone and 3G/3GS.

Apple does not sell parts.
Either get the entire device replaced under Out of Warranty exchange or take your chances with non-oem parts.

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.
