T510 Screen lit but black, can RDP in

While using my T510 the screen suddenly alternated between blank and partially drawn with random colors and patterns filling in the rest before finally remaining blank. I can remote desktop in so the computer is not completely dead. Would I be correct in assuming that since I can remote desktop that the issue is not in the graphics? It's a non-integrated 512MB nVIDIA NVS3100m video card. Previous to the issue I replaced the thermal module since the old one was causing shutdowns due to overheating. The laptop remained cool while testing it with a game for 3-4 hours. Only after returning to Windows for a few minutes did the screen break. I thought I may have bumped some wires installing the thermal module so I made sure the plugs I could reach were reseated. I didn't reseat the lcd wire in the lcd assembly. As mentioned in the title, the LED backlight is powered and responds to brightness changes but the screen is blank. The screen is also blank during post but there are no beeps and it load to Windows fine, What is the best thing to test next? I can try connecting an external monitor. Is there a good way to test the LCD without having to spend money on a new one?

Update:
Took the laptop apart. There was a little much thermal paste on everything so it got cleaned off and reapplied a bit less. Turned on the laptop again and it I could see the "ThinkVantage" for half a second before the screen went black again. Turned laptop off overnight in a cool room and when I turned it back on the screen would stay on until part way through the Windows loading screen. Turning it on one more time brought up the "ThinkVantage" again before going black. External monitor works perfectly fine. I have an NVidia NVS M3100 onboard but from the BIOS it doesn't look like I have the "switchable" version so I can't force integrated graphics (unless there is a BIOS upgrade to allow this). Is it possible for the screen to have an overheating issue? Is there a GPU temperature in the BIOS (I want to check it early in the loading cycle) or do I need some software in Windows (recommendations needed)? Since I didn't move the laptop at all during this mornings tests I feel pretty confident it isn't a connection but a heat issue. The question is can this be improved with reseating the thermal module, better thermal paste (I used 5 year old Artic Silver 5), new thermal module, or a new screen or graphics?

My buttons and screen work, but I can't activate the screen to see what I'm doing. Any idea what is wrong?

My buttons and screen work, but I can't activate the screen to see what I'm doing. This is after water damage. Any idea what is wrong? I'm not sure what to fix..
I know the screen works because when it first turned on I saw the apple logo and then the screen. If I hold the home and power button, I see the apple logo when it resets. Then it goes blank again.
I can hear when I get a call and pick up, and I can stop the sound and/or decline the call with the power button and side buttons. It also still vibrates. I'm confused - if the screen works, the buttons work, it vibrates, makes sound, and the touchscreen feature also works... what is wrong for me to fix? Why can't I see anything?!
I appreciate any help anybody has to offer!!!

I apologize for the confusion. This was literally the only option on Apple's "Contact Us" section that I was able to access. I assumed that Apple's clear intent to have me go here instead of speaking with someone in live time, and the fact this is on the Apple website, meant I could get some advice... Both over the phone and online they require information I need to see my screen to provide so those are not options. I tried to bypass this when calling through Skype. Some lady who didn't know what was going on, who I waited a good while to speak with, put me on hold; I gave up after 30minutes of waiting to speak to somebody again.
I've stumbled upon a few tricks to help me get through this problem, but I'm at a loss. I need this phone to work until late December. I need more tricks. So yes, it's worth understanding. Knowing what is going on will let me Google it and work with it, if nobody here is willing to help...
And yes, it IS a glitchy phone. It has been a glitchy phone for a long time. Long before this. But completely unrelated issues. I was assuming this wasn't just a glitch but something maybe somebody could help me understand.

My iPhone 4S screen has gone black, it is lit but black

Last Night, i was using my 4S which had battery and all of a sudden, it went black, the screen is still lit up but it is black, i tried charging it but nothing happened, pressing buttons does nothing also. When i plugged it into iTunes, the iPhone does not come up but when i unplug it, it tells me that it could not connect with the iPhone, i have not backed it up in a while. is there any way to save my things and fix this? could i leave the battery to die and hope it works?

try a hard reset. press and hold the home and power button at the same time until the apple logo appears. approx 10-15 seconds, see if that works

Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some updates for my imac. Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box. The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

Hello all..   I hope someone here can help. I recently downloaded some updates to my imac. Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock. I've tried rebooting with no joy.
I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared. Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?

Photos appear in screen saver but i can't find them!

I have my screesaver set to show photos from users/user/pictures. the only items in that folder are an empty photo booth folder and my iphoto library. after organizing my photos and events, pictures i'm not aware of are showing up in my screen saver. i've looked all over in iphoto and can't find them. 'edit smart album' is not selectable ( i assume i have no smart albums), and 'show hidden photos' is selected. where could they be?

In the screensaver, iphoto is not bolded - i cannot select it. It seems you are trying to help me isolate the folder to make sure that that is where the hidden photos are. I played around for awhile trying to select just the iphoto folders, but screensaver is not cooperating. My instinct is that the photos are hidden somewhere in iphoto, unless they are somehow in the photo booth folder that appears empty. Thanks for your help!

Opened video, screen is mostly black, can't get mail

Help?
Thanks

Do you have a problem with the Videos app, the Mail app, or both ?
For the Videos app 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 try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If you're also having problems with the Mail app then are your account details correct ?

What program are you using to view your channels, I use Christv lite version as it is freeware and works way better than the others in my opinion, Uninstall the one your using and give it a try. http://www.chris-tv.com/download.html DOK

ASA 5505 AnyConnect VPN Can RDP to clients but can't ping/icmp

Hello all,
I've been searching all day for a solution to this problem. I setup and SSL anyconnect VPN on my Cisco ASA 5505. It works well and connects with out a problem. However, I can't ping any internal clients, but I can RDP to them. It may be something simple and I would appreciate any help. Most of the time people end up posting their config so I will as well.

Your config actually looks good (you have the ACL that would allow the echo-reply back since you don't have inspection turned on) - are you sure this isn't a windows firewall issue on the PCs? I'd try pinging a router or switch just to make sure.

Whenever I attempt to watch a video of any sort full screen on Firefox my screen turns white but I can hear the video playing.

When viewing pics or videos in FireFox, when screen is enlarged to full screen, page turns white. While I can still hear audio, no picture. I have seen similar posting in problem questions, but solutions have all been closed out.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have same problem when watching web video and going to full screen it turns white. Audio is still good. If I hit escape all goes back to viewing the video okay.
It occurs in Firefox 6.3 & 6.8.3, Internet Explorer 8, and Google Chrome. Windows Media Player WILL go to full screen okay.
I wished I could submit 2 pics: one of video and 1 of the white screen. But I can't so I'm just sending the white screen pic

I've transferred. Some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app ''simple transfer'' but I can't find the option to delete those photos from iPhone, if any body knows let me know please??

I've tranferred some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app called simple transfer lite, but still can't find any option to delete those photos, if any body knows how to do this please let me know.

I have a suggestion, noted below, but I'd like a little more information please. Are you saying that after you've transfered photos to your PC or Mac you want to then delete them from the iPhone? If they're photos taken with the iPhone couldn't you just go back into Camera roll and delete them there?
I had a similar situation with my parent's iPhone and iPad. I synced a couple of folders of photos via iTunes on their laptop to the iPad. The intent was to use the slideshow feature on the iPad as a digital photo frame. To save time, I had synced all the photos in the folders, thinking that my mom could delete the pics she didn't want. After doing this I found I couldn't delete any of the pictures synced this way. I came to find out that pictures contained in folders synced via iTunes cannot be deleted from the iOS device.
A friend suggested a paid app called PhotoSync. It's $1.99 and no, I have absolutely no connection to the deveolper. It's just an app that does exactly what I needed it to do. After transfering photos you can go into camera roll or an album and delete them. There is a companion free app that you install on your PC or Mac that makes the transfers very easy.
I have less than 15 apps on my iPhone. I generally like free apps but, as I've said, I found this app does what I needed to do so I was happy to spend the money.
Good luck.

My screen on my MacBook Pro blacks out constantly. If I press on the bottom left side of the MacBook, I can keep the screen on. I have been placing a small note pad to keep pressure on the bottom in order to keep the screen lit up.

You should try taking the battery out and putting it back in, but then if that doesn't work, you should take it into your Apple Retail Store and have a genius at the Genius Bar take a look. That seems like a hardware problem to me.

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.
