T60p - Black screen after success bios update

Hello!
I have a big problem:
Today I update my T60p bios to the latest, downloaded from the support site, via the windows based factory utility as usual (I do it more than 4 times before). Everything seems OK, but after restart the notebbok won't start. The sysfan is spinning, the leds are lights, but the screen is black, and no reaction for any keypress.
How can I fix this problem?
Thank's for help,
Peter

Hello,
first you could take out your battery and press powerbutton 10 times.
Insert your battery again and try to start.
If your cd drive is running, I would suggest to download bios as an iso-file and burn it to disk.
Then try to boot with this cd and flash bios again.
If these methods don´t work, than you´ll have to send it to service.
Good luck!

Qosmio F50-125 starts with black screen after an BIOS update

Hi
after instalation if new bios (v 2.0), computer sometimes starts with the black screen .
Even the first page that show press f2 to enter the bios is not shown.
Do you have somebody old version of the bios?
So I could try if it is the fault of it.

Hi
I think the old BIOS will not help you because the notebook would known that you are trying to update the BIOS to the older version and it would break up the procedure.
Furthermore the older BIOS is no available on the Toshiba European driver page.
I think just only a Toshiba ASP has got an older BIOS version.
Anyway, you said this happens sometimes.
This would mean that this issue doesnt persist always
Hmm. in such case I recommend settings the BIOS to the default settings and to update the display driver.
Check it out!

Toshiba Satellite L755-S5216 Black Screen after failed bios update

There was a Toshiba BIOS update that went awry and now the computer won't turn on. I can hear the fans and see the lights, but all there is is a blank screen.

I'm not a tech support agent, but there are a couple things I would suggest doing.
While the laptop is off and unplugged, remove the battery, hold the power button for 10 seconds, restore the battery, and try the laptop again. If that doesn't work, try booting on only AC power without a battery.
If you still don't have any luck, give support a call at (800) 457-7777.
Good luck!

Black screen after windows auto update

New laptop in use for 3 weeks. After Windows auto update restart I get to splash screen and am able to enter Windows password to log onto desktop. After successfully entering password I am not able to view my desktop; I get the black screen with cursor function; cursor disappears when moved within an inch of left or right of screen (seems to go behind something). I believe I am at the desktop but just not able to view it, because I receive app popups on the black screen (need to update McAfee, etc).
In safe mode I restored to pre auto update date; manually installed all Windows updates; worked fine until NEXT auto update, same problem.
Graphics Card: Stock Intel HD Graphics
Monitor: Generic PnP
Why would it be fine with the manual update and not after auto update?
I do not have an external monitor to attach this laptop for diagnosis. I have run windows partition checks and hard drive partition checks with no issues to resolve.
I did get an error message once when running a diagnosis (can't remember which) : Windows Update Error 0x80070490
No real luck finding anyway for me (the average Joe) to resolve this issue.
If this is a harddrive issue I don't want to keep pussyfooting around while my warranty window shrinks.
I have downloaded driver updates from HP, but cannot get the Synaptics Touchpad driver to download. I don't think this is my issue though.
I am going to manually update all my drivers then manually update Windows. We will see what happens on the next auto update.
Please advise if this is an issue I need to just give up on and return this laptop for replacement. It seems like this is not a completely unheard of issue, but I'm shocked at what we are asked to do to attempt to resolve it. Out of my depth.

Hi @Justanothermom
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having troubles with a black screen after an update. I am happy to help you with this.
Firstly, there is nothing wrong with modifiying your update settings. I was going to suggest it myself as I read through your post, and then saw you ask the question. Sometimes updates can have unintended results by the creator. With all the different combinations of hardware, and the fact that updates come from different sources, it is one of those things that is hard to completely control.
Please see the following for how to make adjustments to your update settings.
Turn automatic updating on or off - windows.microsoft.com
Or if you know which update seems to be causing the issue you can take a look at this page:
win 8.1 August 12 updates - black screen after 2nd reboot - answers.microsoft.com
Let me know if this helps at all.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I read your post about the BIOS, and wanted to assist you! The blank screen and blinking of your Caps Lock, is the system trying to give you the error code for the issue your notebook is having. You can review the following document for further assistance, if needed:HP Notebook PCs - Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code Please note the blinking sequence of your Caps Lock, and follow the instructions in the document above. From the information that you provided, it is possible that the blink code will be related to a BIOS error. You can always try performing a System Restore, to set the notebook back to a previous working point. You can also try checking this site for BIOS drivers. Once there, you can select your Operating System and click "Update", you should be able to access and download the BIOS drivers. If you downloaded the latest driver from that site, try uninstalling the driver and installing the previous version. Please let me know if this information was helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.

Black screen after successful login into Remote Session

Hi,
I am having windows 8.1 pro(64bit) and windows 7 pro(64bit) machines using which i am trying to connect to a remote VM with windows 7 enterprise through vpn client 5(64bit). After successful login, BLACK SCREEN with Connection bar is displayed. Ctrl+Alt+End
did not work.
In fact, a strange behaviour experienced. After failing once, i tried again with IP address instead of host name. Bingo, it works well. Then disconnect and try to reconnect, problem repeats. What i mean is, the problem is neither Consistent not persistent.
I am frustrated trying to solve the issue. Blogs, forums, communities.... where ever what ever solutions suggested, tried without any luck. Any help please ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description it seems that you facing Black screen issue, but when you tried with IP address you can logon to the remote session but during reconnection issue repeats. Correct me if misunderstand your case.
From last how may days you are facing this issue?
Can you find any suitable error\event ID for this case?
For this firstly please check that you have proper connectivity between systems. Please check that you can Ping successfully to the remote system with IP address and hostname.
Might this issue caused by some stopped service “Desktop window manager session” which stop after RDP login. You can check the status as follow.
1. After the issue appear, please use RDP connect to the computer again and check the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service status.
2. Then, please restar the computer and check System Event log to check if has a Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service error.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Black screen after windows 7 update?

Last night i left my Macbook Pro downloading a game on steam overnight, when i got up in the morning it seems like it restarted and went onto the mac login screen. So i restarted it into windows and it had been installing an update, and it said something like "installing clientregistry" with a number/number (it was the last step). It then restarted again and so i booted into windows, except after the screen where the colours fly around, i can see my cursor for a tiny bit then the screen goes black. You can tell it's still on as the fans continue to run and the brightness is a bit higher than what it would be if it was off. When i go onto the mac side, it says something like NTFS 3G force or abort, i chose force but it doesn't change anything. If i boot into safe mode in windows (when it detects it didn't shut down properly), i can get to the login screen and login but it says error cannot load profile, and it restarts after a certain time.
It's very important that my windows works as the only way i can access a copy of windows 7 disc is from school, and the holidays just started

Thanks for the reply,
if i hold fn+f8 it gives me heaps of options, i tried the safe mode and it loads a ton of things but gets stuck on class.pnp at the end. Before safe mode would work and let me in for a couple of seconds before a force restart with a smaller resolution, but now it doesn't go through? Also, i tried to install something called macfuse but it doesn't work properly and now i don't even think i can read the volume through my mac side. When i boot up it comes up with two warnings;
i) NTFS-3G Mount unsuccessful
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows.
Fixing.
/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8) the MacFUSE file system is unavailible(71)
ii) A very similar log as the one previously but with NTFS-3G written all over it
I'll uninstall macfuse as it proved useless. Before i could see the windows hd on the desktop, now it's just gone, maybe it's corrupted somehow? Should i try repairing it as one of the options in the safe-boot selection area?

Black screen after 10.51 update, please help!

Installed Leopard on external F/W drive , although could not repair permissions on drive.I installed 10.51 then, display went black,and would not come on. Forced the machine to turn off. Disconnected external drive, pulled all the A/C cords,etc. Finally got it to start on the old Tiger OS on the internal drive.
Just got off the phone with Applecare and they gave me the old "We do not support 3rd party hardware". My external drive is a OWC 911 chipset drive with Tiger on the partition so I don't get it.
Is there perhaps something different about Leopard that precludes you from installing it on an external firewire drive?
Does Anyone have any ideas?

If cd boot was okay and attrib bcd was not, then the the bcd is apparently missing. Bad news. Time to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
Are there important files to recover first?
Even recovery with "0" is impossible, though it did work fine previous to this.
If the recovery discs were not created, you can obtain them from Toshiba.

Black screen after BIOS update

Hi there,
After updating BIOS with regular HP software (i forgot the name now), the computer shut down and from that moment when i turn it on the screen stays black (with computer apparently running). I read so many posts with similar problems and i tried few things but without success. I know that i am very close to solve the problem but from all the suggestions i am now simply confused. I would like to ask, if someone can guide me through step-by-step procedure, i figured out that i need to install a BIOS version on USB-stick, but exact details i am obviously missing.
I have HP Pavilion dv 6700 Entertainment PC and new HDD inside without HP_TOOLS on it.
Thank you veeeeeryyyy much!

M5400 - Black screen after updating BIOS

As the title says, I've got this unwanted black screen after updating BIOS with update utility from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds037429
What I've tried :
- power / battery out, pressing power button several times for short / long and longer time
- BIOS battery out for about half an hour
- wincrisis with USB bootable stick and BIOS extracted from BIOS update utility from support.lenovo
- different combinations of keys such as : FN + B / F / R +/- win key
What should I do next except finding a hammer ?

Hey,
I am having the same problem, I was updating my bios.. followed all directions which is necessary to update them.
And then when it was almost ready it said "Bios update is not responding" so I waited... and waited because I did not want to abort it but then Vista aborted it for me.
Well at first it did not seem to be a problem but then I noticed that I could not click anything (was still in windows @ that time did not reboot yet) then I wanted to reboot but nothing worked.. Pressing off button for a time to shut down did not work.. So eventually power was out. And it shut down.
So I hooked it up again but nothing happened. Pressing the "on" button made it start.. The DVD-drive loaded for a second but... that is it just a black screen :S
Going to bring it back to the shop tomorrow.

Qosmio X870-149 - Black screen after Update to win 8.1

After an update to win 8.1 I got a black screen after login , the only thing I could do was to press zero during startup and make a recovery installation .
It took 40 houres , I do not know why it took so long , but when it was over, the HDD was completely empty , so I installed win 7 instead , since I had not made ??a recovery CD . The problem now is that I still get black screen in between , and thinking that it might be a heat problem , I still have warranty , but I do not know if it applies when I installed win 7 on the machine.
I still have a warranty on my toshiba Qosmio

Hi
Well, the warranty covers the hardware related problems. It does not cover any issues related to the software.
Now the open question is: why the black screen appears?
Is it hardware or software issue?
What happens if you access the BIOS?
Can you see anything on the screen?
Is something visible on the external monitor?

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

Hello Adam,
I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

Photo Booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

Photo booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

It is not a widespread issue that requires apple to come out with a fix, I have many ipads that were updated and have no issues.
I would suggest you back-up and restore your device, that can repair many issues if the original update was corrupted.

Aspire R7 572G having a black screen after windows 8.1 update. What should I do

Hi all, Im wondering, anybody encounter this problem before, Im having trouble with this black screen after boot, it happened yesterday I think microsoft must have updated some of the drivers rendering my screen black after booting. Initially i thought it was my SSD but it turns out i can enter into Safe Mode. I read more about this problem related to other PCs, and try the recommended method of "disabling" the Intel GMA HD drivers. It worked, however, it only means the primary driver is now reduced to a standard video graphic card with limited vram. I have tried rolling back and even redownloading then reinstalling the intel driver into the version VGA_Intel_9.18.10.3215. The blackscreen after boot still occured. Did i miss something?

that's an old version of Intel drivers. try this, after uninstalling the old Intel driver:http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/VGA/VGA_Intel_10.18.10.3316_W81x64_A.zip?acerid=635194016643160700&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%20R7-572G&OS=81P1&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6

Black screen after Mavericks update ?

Hi everybody,
First of all, I want you to know that I'm French so I want to apologize for my potential mistakes
A few weeks ago, I updated Mavericks (because my mac told me to do that every single day .. ) on my Macbook Unibody bought in September 2010.
After that update, I had a black screen after the "Apple logo" and couldn't do anything. I went to a Genius Bar in Paris and the technician told me that the unique solution was to format the laptop. I decided to accept this because I needed my laptop for work. However, I lost all my data (documents, pictures ...)
Apparently, I'm not the only person in that case and the problem comes from Mavericks.
So I want to know if someone else is also in that case, and I think that it's unacceptable that Apple does not communicate about this.
Thank you

Connect the MBP to a monitor. If the monitor fails to produce an image, the GPU is suspect. If the monitor produces an image, the display or the display connection is faulty.
Ciao.
