TX2-1275dx has Blank Screen

I have a TX2-1275dx.  Screen is now blank all the time & I get no image to an external monitor.  Is the graphics adapter on the motherboard or separate?  The buttons light up on the screen's bezel but that's it.  The tablet appears to be boot up but there is no graphics image.

Add another guy to the list.  TouchSmart tx2 - lights come on, but nobody is home.  The screen is blank.  The usual fixes ( remove this, push that, restart  while pushing that, then this) don't work.  I understand the graphics chip doesn't have enough heat sink.  Over time, it unsolders (usually after the warranty period is over).
I also gather HP refuses to acknowledge this defect.  Some kid has a Utube presentation showing how to re-solder the chip and then use thermal conductive glue to put a penny on top of the chip for a heat sink.  Obviously, this is a design flaw.
HP, either own up to the problem; fix my laptop, or I'll make it a point to never, ever buy another HP product again.  Anyone can make a mistake, but I expect them to own up to it.
Regards,
Jake Carter

  • HT1212 IPHONE HAS BLANK SCREEN

    IPHONE WAS DROPPED, NOW HAS BLANK SCREEN AND IS VIBRATING

    Bummer. Sounds like it's broken. I'd advise either taking it to a professional for repair or just scrapping it and getting a new phone.

  • Tx2-1025-dx blank screen start up issue

    I have an issue starting my tx2-1025-dx, it starts up with a blank screen and i cannot identify the capslock/numberlock blink codes. they are a constant blink at a 3 second interval with no beeping. I have come to believe that it is a internal hardware issue and i was seeing if anyone could confirm or deny this. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Same thing was happening with my tx2500z, posted this comment on other topic. The problem for most of these laptops seems to be the NVIDIA GPU chip.
    Just watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGdTjKt-cYg&feature=related
    Basically when you are powering up the system, press your palm down in the vicinity of the JKL keys and it should wedge the NVIDIA GPU into place. I took one of my tx2500z's completely apart and I'm in the process of selling the parts. I had the other one lying around because I hadn't gotten around to ripping it apart as well. I tried pressing down very hard and it worked. You must be pressing down before you flip the switch. This computer hadn't been working for about 7 months and I can finally recover some old files off of it. There is another video on youtube that describes how you can "burn" the NVIDIA chip into the motherboard. You will need more experience with computer, however. It can be seen here:

  • My ipod nano 5th gen has blank screen

    Hi, my ipod nano 5th gen has a blank screen, will not switch on, and not recognised by computer. Have tried holding menu and central button but still dead. Any suggestions please.

    Hello Emilyyandrews,
    To fix try this:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/
    This has the best chance of fixing your issue if its not hardware related. If it does not fix it then you may want to consider setting the ipod up for service:

    Or you can call Apple and have them set it up for you. Have your serial number ready.

  • Brand new mac pro has blank screen on start up...why? Can here instructions but can't see

    I hae a brand new mac pro and the screen is blank during start up. ***...I can here instructions but can't see screen.

    That Mac comes with 90 days free phone support from trained Applecare reps. You should take advantage of it.
    Another alternative is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them put their hands on it.
    Be sure you do something before your 14-day return/exchange (if you bought it direct from Apple) expires, or you may face a 3 to 5 day repair cycle.
    Shine a bright light at the screen when it has booted up.
    ¿ Is the picture "there" but not lit up?   that could be a backlight failure.
    The F2 key is used to turn up the brightness, if it accidentally got turned down low.

  • Ipad2 Mail has blank screen

    I have had no problems with my iPad2 until the recent IOS8 downloads.
    My Mail has disappeared completely this evening (the screen is blank as per the photo) but still but the home screen tells me there is mail. I have quit the app, it still didn't work. I restarted the iPad, it still didn't work. I did a hard reset, guess what. I did a factory reset, guess what. It's backed up to iCloud and my pc.
    Can anyone advise me please on what to do next? Thank you.

    What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
    Does this account allow web access? Have you checked whether the messages are still on the server?
    I was helping a friend with a mail problem on her laptop
    Which problem?
    There is no inbox in the copy of the mail folder she made.
    Which Mail folder did she copy? The one in /Library/ or the one in ~/Library/?
    I found the cached messages folder
    Not sure what you mean here either. What exactly did you find where?
    More info, please.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • IPod will mount but has blank screen - display

    Hey guys,
    I have a 30gb ipod with video and today I dropped in on carpet at work. Now the display is blank. I can mount it on my imac at home and I even hear the click when i press menu/play/ff/rev buttons. Does this sound like something just came loose?
    I tried the 5 R's etc, but the screen will not come on.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Not necessarily. Try http://www.ipodresq.com or do a Google search and you can find sites that give you pictures on how to disassemble it or sell you parts. The link I gave you also does repairs.

  • C655-S5140 Laptop has blank screen

    Laptop turns on, fan can be heard but the screen is completely black. If I leave it sit for several hours I can try again and the boot screen appears but it has the BSOD while loading windows. If I turn it off and back on I end up with the black screen again. I have to wait several hours before it will boot again. I tried windows recovery and still got the BSOD. When I get the black screen I've tried removing all power sources and holding down the power button but it does not seem to help. The laptop has to sit for several hours before you get another shot at booting it and troubleshooting. Any ideas?

  • Satellite P100 will not power up or has blank screen

    So I have this laptop that has failed me about 4 months ago. Will not power on anymore. I can press the start button and it sounds like its working but there is nothing on the screen. I can hear the fan every now and again and then a beep after about 1 min after "start up" but screen looks dead. Nothing appears on screen at all.
    I've tried the powering on with and without the battery.
    My laptop use to get very hot and freeze as far as I remember.
    I've replaced my Toshiba with other notebook but if my Satellite is not gonna work again is there a way I can get files off there still?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    > I've replaced my Toshiba with other notebook but if my Satellite is not gonna work again is there a way I can get files off there still?
    You need the data and files from the internal HDD?
    You could access the data connecting the P100 HDD as an external USB HDD to the other computer.
    You could remove the HDD from the P100 and could insert it into a external USB caddy
    I think the HDD supports the SATA interface so you have to look for SATA USB caddies
    Regarding the P100 issue;
    Well it seems to be a hardware problem We can speculate only about the kind of malfunction but for me it looks like a serious issue
    The best is to get in contact with an notebook technician and to check the single parts
    Good luck

  • Ipod stuck and froze, now has blank screen! HELP!

    I was playing on an app and all of a sudden my screen froze. Even though it froze I still was able to touch and somewhat play the game, but i couldn't return to the home screen. I was able to get to the music/song section by double clicking the home button but it was still frozen. I also followed directions on how to restart my ipod but it only made it worse by leaving me with an unusable blank white screen.Not only that but I tried plugging it into my computer with the USB but nothing came up & I wasn't able charge it.
    HOW CAN I FIX THIS????
    I HAVE A ROAD TRIP TOMORROW AND I NEED THIS IPOD FOR IT!

  • Yellow Connect to Power Message - Now iPod has Blank Screen

    Hello and Help. My Third Gen Nano 4 GB has gone dark... right before I saw the "Connect to Power" with a gold warning triangle message. I've tried all the menu/reset thing with no luck and I can't get the iPod to show up on iTunes.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I'm hoping it's not the battery as a battery costs half the price of a new iPod, but it's sort of looking that way. But before I gave up I thought I'd see if anyone might have an idea.
    Thanks!
    Scott

    Yep, it's the battery. Same answer as the other post right before you.

  • I reset settings. Now has blank screen with Apple . How do I get to load?

    I Hit reset setting on mini iPad to see if would help programs from going out. Now. all I have is a black screen with Apple  showing with white line below it. Doesn't like trying to open. haven't got it to do updates either. Can anyone advise me on how to get to get ipad restarted again?

    Try this. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
