2 - and then Blue Screen
3 - crash
4 - i can see the screen working but it shows nothing
what i did:
1 - i bought an external screen to see what's going on
2 - external screen works only in safe mode and not in the normal mode and the Thinkpad LCD Screen still not working
3 - i checked the BIOS ans in display Thinkpad LCD is checked
4 - i've done a R and R restore, the thinkpad LCD screen resrarted working
but
1- the screen seems blocked by sometimes
2- after reinstalling the laptop in a way to continue working on it
3 - in the end of the day red flash, blue screen and screen not working anymore
so please, is there any software solution or do i have a hardware problem ?
thank you in advance

As for Turbo Memory, I don't have enough experience with it to claim anything...but am tempted to point at the GPU as being the component most likely at fault...
Good luck.

  • Green-colored volume indicators that appear on the LCD screen NOT working

    I have T61 with fresh install Window 7. After Win7 the laptop is VERY fast. The difference is incredible!
    I was running XP and everything worked perfect, now the green-colored volume indicators that appear on the LCD screen is NOT working. Yes, I did downloaded the driver(s) from Lenovo site and made the rest work just fine.
    Blue button works as well and when I open ThinkVantage I don't get any error.
    Any idea/help greatly appreciated.
    (I can live with out it, but it would be nice to have a perfect running laptop)
    TIA
    Ivone

    Hi Ivone,
    Not ignoring you, honest!
    I wasn't even sure that Lenovo supported Windows 7 on the T61... but they do! I don't have a Win 7 machine yet, but in the past, people have gotten their green bars back by re-installing one or more drivers.
    I didn't find Windows 7 drivers listed in the T61 support matrix, but if you go to the Support & downloads page and select T61, then select Windows 7 as your OS, there are a couple pages of drivers available. (Sounds like you already found them, just noting it here for my own and others' benefit.)
    Good luck, and please let us know if that works for you (and which driver fixes it, if you figure it out.)

  • Zen Touch, LCD Display not working at all, but player is f

    So I'm on the bus, listening to my Zen Touch, it's working fine, the LCD is working fine. Everything is dandy. Few songs later, I pull it out of my pocket, the LCD is blank. But the player is still going. I can change songs, adjust volume, play all randomly etc etc, but I'm working blind, cause there is nothing on the display whatsoever.
    It was a dry day, so it wasnt moisture damage or anything. And I didnt drop it, or bang it. It went from working fine, to going in my pocket, to not working. Really strange.
    I'm sure its just defecti've, but I leave for a week long vacation in just under an hour (good timing eh? works fine for 8 months and then bam, 6 hours before I leave the country...ugh **bleep** karma), and I'm praying theres a simple fix I'm just missing. I already tried multiple restarts and resets, and I even charged it for a few hours, thinking the battery was just getting weak. But no dice. I doubt anyone can help me, but I figured it's worth at least a shot.Message Edited by myname on 0-24-2005 05:07 AM

    If it won't display anything at all, even after a reset, it's likely there is a hardware problem. You could connect the player to the PC and update the firmware, but I suspect it'll be the same after that, unfortunately.

  • My ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    my ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    Most likely, water damage.
    You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
    If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
    Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • 8500 All in One - touch screen not working

    One minute the touch screen with all it's functions was working fine and then, bam (!), the touch screen stopped working and I can't even use the one/off switch to power the unit off - it does not respond.  Funny thing is that the printer is still working from my computer so I can still send a print job via the wireless.   With the touch screen not working I can't use any function from the unit itself (copy a hard copy, fax a hard copy) and if the unit runs out of paper I have to unplug it to reboot since I can't hit the 'enter' on the touch screen once I've reloaded. 
    Bottom line --- nothing from the unit itself works.  Has a printer fairy locked me out or does this sound like a hardware error?  Thanks for any help ...
    Linda T

    Excellent.  Let me know how round 2 treats you.  The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now?  I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

  • IPhone 4s screen is completely black and does not work at all; has not been dropped. Any help?

    I opened up youTube using a shortcut from the Cocoppa app last night, and the screen froze, my home button would not work, so I locked it. The phone was charging at the time and nowhere near dead. After I did so, I pressed the lock and the home button [ not at the same time ] and the screen would not light up at all, it remained completely black. So, I unplugged it and plugged it back into the charger and it made the little sound it does when you do so, that told me it was not dead, and had not turned off. I held the lock button down to turn it off and swiped where the "slide to shut down" bar would normally be if my screen actually worked. It did nothing. My phone screen does not work at all now, even though it makes sounds such as Siri's little pinging noise when you hold down the home button. I am thoroughly confused and urgently need help to solve this problem.

    Yes, water and electronics do not mix. Water damage can get worse with time.
    You should've left it to fully dry out in a bag of rice for a few days, and hope that the water hasn't corroded any of the electronics inside.
