Touchsmart 300-1003. Screen stays black after I turn it on. Windows 7/64Bit

The Product # is NY644AA#ABA I have already done the troubleshooting suggestions that I found in here. It did not help at all. The only thing that is very different now is that the fans are much louder than they used to be. Also, on the power switch, it used to be gold when the computer was asleep, and it was blue when it was running. Now there is no light at all. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello stackagrip,
I understand that you are not able boot your computer.
Have you tried to reseat the memory?
It sounds like you may have a hardware problem.
You may have to have someone look at the system.
Let me know how everything goes.

  • HT201263 Iphone4 screen stays black after configuration

    Iphone4 failed to respond during normal usage. Therefore I turned off the Iphone4 and restarted the device. Unfortunately the screen of the Iphone stayed black after seeing the apple logo.
    As the above didn't resolve the issue, I restarted the Iphone by holding the home and power button. The apple logo appeared again and than the screen stayed black. Although the i-phone is making sounds and you can switch between normal and silend mode.
    Than I rebooted the I-phone by using Itunes, and reinstalled a backup, also the screen stayed black after the backup. Although in the beginning you can see the adapter and I tunes logo on the Iphone screen.
    Than I rebooted by using Itunes and set up as a new device. I can see the following screen:
    After swiping the screens turns black although when I touch the screen I can hear the phone is still working.
    How can I resolve this issue?

    Call of Duty puts a heavy processing load on several internal components that may be causing them to overheat.  I would suggest that you download and install the Free and highly recommended "iStatPro" utility and post the temperature readings that it gives you, around the time that the time that the display goes blank, here in this Forum.  (Play the game for quite a while and then check your temps in iStatPro.)  That may give us the data we need to diagnose your problem.

  • Imac G4 15" Screen Stays Black After Screen Saver Goes To Sleep

    I have an imac G4 15" that I just got from a friend that works pretty well, except that after it goes from the screen saver into to sleep mode, the screen stays black. I can hear the error chimes when I try to awaken the screen with the keys, but the screen just stays black. I have tried to increase the brightness, etc. but to no avail. Eventually I have to resort to re-booting and I am afraid that at some point, either the computer won't reboot or one of my external hard drives will crash. Any advice from someone who has experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    THANKS!

  • VLC fullscreen sometimes makes screen stay black after video ends

    like the subject says, sometimes the screen just stays black when a video ends while VLC is in fullscreen mode.
    I'm using VLC 2.0.8.a-1. I got the laptop in April, just in time for Revision 2013, had the problem more or less from the start, so that's since version 2.0.5 or 2.0.6
    So far I haven't found a way to get things back to normal when it happens. I've tried
    press f
    press ESC
    close and reopen lid
    switch to console (screen just stays black, even on consoles)
    Apparently the only thing I can do is pop up a terminal window via shortcut and reboot.
    As far as I can tell /var/log/Xorg.[0,1].log doesn't tell what's going on.
    In case it's important, I've only experienced this on my Thinkpad T430, it never happend on my old ASUS laptop or on my desktop pc. An Intel issue maybe? The other two run on nvidia cards, the T430 does have an nvidia card in addition to the on-chip HD 4000 but I don't use it (I'd love to since the DP port is only usable with the nvidia card, haven't been able to make it work with bumblebee yet but that's a different issue).
    Any ideas? Which log and config files do you need?

  • Screen stays black when I turn my iBook on, no response. HELP

    I really hope someone can help me with this cause the laptop in question belongs to someone else and I'll be in a tough spot if I don't fix this...
    So I've been borrowing this G4 iBook. I've installed some software, including some "whois" programs from the internet. I've also been downloading torrents via Transmission. Anyway, this is what happened:
    I was downloading a torrent, and I had Safari open. I began to transfer a movie to the Apple-TV system I have when things started running slowly--so I went to the energy savings panel and optimized the processor for highest performance. Things kept running slowly so I began to quit programs. Finally I had only the Apple-TV transfer open but the Finder wasn't responding (rainbow wheel).
    I tried to relaunch the Finder by force-quitting but no response. I then tried to restart, no response. So finally I held down the power button to shut the computer off. Now when I turn it on I hear the start up sound but the screen remains black. I think the keys are unresponsive too cause I tried pressing the power button and pressing 'return' to see if it would restart or shutdown. Nothing. I mentioned that I've been downloading some software and torrents for the off-chance that I have a virus. I have a Norton Antivirus CD if I need it. I don't know what to do though.
    I'd really appreciate some help here. It would save me the embarrassment of having to take the laptop to get repaired.

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    See if this works...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • IPAD Screen Stays Black even after reset.

    Hello
    I have a case similar to the one posted by darKnghtV  on Jun 24, 2012 10:12 AM related to screen stays Black.
    after I have stopped using the device for 3 days, I came back and the screen came back on. I reset the device to factory setting and it has been working fine for two days.
    how can I confirm if the issue is a hardware or software?
    if the device is defective, how can I exhaust the screen to show the issue again so I can take it to the service center?
    Regards

    I have done this few times.
    however I had to use screen shot, view the image from  my PC to have the unit reset to factory setting. even after that screen wouldn’t start.
    when I took it in the car and it was a hot day, I reach the work shop and the unit was really worm, screen came back on and it did not go black again for the past three days.
    what is puzzling me, was it fixed after the reset and it is a software issue, or is it a hardware ?

  • I have a HP Touchsmart 300-1020 that powers up but the screen stays black. help!

    I've been experiencing problems intermittently after shutting my TouchSmart 300 PC down. For the past few days when trying to turn it on ; the screen stayed black!  I could hear the fan start rapid then slow down, I can see the green internal light blinking inside and lights on the outside of the computer but still nothing on the screen!  I've tried plugging it into different outlets around the house was successful with one, but then, came the error message;
    Page fault in nonpaged area. Today I tried to turn it on and I got the same thing described above. The computer's operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, purchased Feb. of last year and is refurbished.

    Hi
    You have a couple of options as I see it please run the Hard drive and Memory test check if both off then passes if any fails then you need to replace the part. If test passes you could try The F11 option to do system restore Or to do a recovery on the unit before doing recovery kindly back up data as it will be lost web link given below this will help you to let you know how to do the steps.

  • When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

    After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
    All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

    OK, I have a fix. 
    After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem.  I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
    I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
    Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

  • Satellite A200 screen stays black when trying to boot

    Hello everyone,
    My Toshiba Satellite A200 notebook is not working anymore, so everything started when I was playing a game, suddenly, the screen turned blue with some tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button a few seconds to close it because nothing was happening on the computer. I then pressed the power button to open it. Everthing was going well, until the welcome screen. At this part, it was written "Welcome" but the Vista loading circle left of it wasn't turning.
    After a few seconds, I decided to close the computer again, so I did hold the power button so the computer closed. Here is the problem : I tried to reopen it, but the screen stayed black. Nothing was happening. The power light was blue, but not any computer activity. So I let it like that a few minutes then closed it and tried again, but the same thing happened. I tried to disassemble it and noticed one of the two memory card wasn't fully in its slot. I fixed it, but it didn't fix the problem.
    I also tried to plug another screen on it, but that one was also black. So I put back the screen on its computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. It was booting, but the first problem came back, the Welcome screen was frooze there. So yes I did close it again and then the same thing happened, the screen stayed black.
    I don't think the problem is the screen because as I said sometime it goes to the welcome screen. Also I don't hear any welcome sound when the screen stays black as if the computer would simply not start up. And as I said earlier, I don't see any computer activity on the little light in front of the computer. And left of this one, I clearly see that the computer is ON because the power light is blue.
    So this is my problem, next time the computer manages to start up I'll try to boot it on the SAFE MODE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.
    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy
    EDIT :
    After letting the computer turned off for about 30 minutes, I started it, and booted in safe mode. At this step, I securely closed my comptuer with the shut down button instead on holding the power button. Then I reopened my computer, and it booted and the problem was fixed. Now my notebook is openened and working.
    So if this is happening to you :
    1. Shut down you computer.
    2. Wait for about 30 minutes.
    3. Boot in safe mode
    4. Shut it down using the shut down button istead off holding the power button.
    That should work.

    Finally, it doesn't work. I don't know why but my computer did start up after the 30 minutes, but now it's not working anymore. It just won't startup like I said later, with a black screen.
    The computer did work for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start it up but after executing a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart it. I did it about 3 or 4 times, then it simply did the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe it's damaged or something, could it be possible?
    Because I see that the processor isn't working when I try to start it up.
    So let's say it's damaged, would that be the symptoms of my computer?
    And if it's the processor, the only way to fix it is to send it to a reparator or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.
    But right now, my computer is simply not booting, like I said in my previous post.
    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

  • Macbook Pro's screen goes black after going to sleep and won't turn on no matter what key I press

    Hi there, I just got a new Macbook Pro, it's literally six days old. I just got some new memory installed on it and now the screen frequently stays black after it has gone to sleep for several minutes. No key will reawaken my laptop, though the small light indicating power at the bottom right hand corner of the laptop still glows, making me think the laptop is still on. Is this normal? Is there any way to remedy this?

    Read the user manual to make sure you installed the ram correctly.  Put the old ram back in.  Same issue?
    If you were not the person that installed the ram, return the computer.
    Call Apple Care. 
    #1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
    #2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
    #3 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years.   You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.

  • How do i fix my iod touch... screen stays black

    how do i fix my iod touch..... the screen stays black with the apple logo then cuts off again after like 5 minutes..... someone please help me ?

    Please tell me it's not jailbroken.  If it is, all bets are off.  It is not...
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • IMac starts with fan, screen stays black

    When attempting to start my iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor), fans come on but screen stays black. A couple minutes later, the fans rev up and run very quickly and loudly. This started happening when:
    1. One day the screen showed a green question mark with a message indicating that the computer needed to be restarted in a box
    2. Green lines were all across the screen
    3. I forced it to shut down by holding down the power button
    4. When I attempted to start it back up the fans started but the screen stayed black
    5. After a couple of minutes, the fans revved up
    This has been happening ever since. One time the computer started to the desktop but everything was frozen. I have reset the PMU, checked the diagnostic LEDs, reset the PRAM-basically everything suggested. Can anyone help? Thanks!

  • One of my two screens stays off after coming from standby - OSx 10.10.2 MacMini

    When 'reviving' my macmini after not using it for a while one of my screens stays black (The screen stays off so there is no contact from the mac). Even after logging in again the screen stays black.
    I can get it to work again by disconnecting both screens and plugging them back in, but that is not a real solution of course. Also, after switching the position of the screens the other screen stays off, so the problem should be in the connection.
    I've got a relatively new MacMini with OSx 10.10.2 and have the two screens (same size but not identical) attached via two 'mini displayport to DVI adapters'.
    Does anyone have any idea what can cause this?

    Hi Snery,

  • Macbook screen stays black

    I opened my Macbook today and it made the usual sound, but the screen stays black. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

    Hi iNonna and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    So you got the usual startup chime but no video during or after startup, is that right?
    I would start out by [resetting the System Management Controller|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964]. If there is no video after that, it sounds like you need to take the MacBook in for a repair. You don't say where you are but you can contact Apple for a repair at one of the phone numbers on [this page|http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html] or carry it in to an Apple retail store. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist> first or you may spend a long time waiting to talk to a Mac Genius.
    Best of luck.
