U430p Screen gone black

My U430p screen has gone black. The power button works, and it sounds like the computer is booting up, but there is no display. Has anyone seen this before/Know how to fix it?

With the computer on there are a couple things you can try to troubleshoot the issue. As I said with the computer running take a bright flashlight and hold it flat against the screen like you are trying to see thru it. DON'T slide the flashlight around, you can scratch the screen. But move it around and see if you can see any picture on the screen.
If that does not work, try connecting your computer to a TV using the HDMI port. If you have them connected and the TV set to the proper HDMI input, you should see your laptop screen on the TV.

  • XPS One 2720, screen gone black?

    Hi,
    I got Dell all in one XPS 2720 last July, 2014. It has been working fine so far only once the touch screen lost and regained once I sort it out the issue with USB. I have not connect this computer to internet for the last 3 months. Today I connected it to internet after one hour the computer screen gone black not responding to any touch function, It also does not respond to any keyboard touch. I tried to read the "me and my dell" instruction, nothing seems work. anybody has some advise.  

    Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the XPS One 2720. Press and hold in the power button for 15 seconds. Reconnect the power cord. Press the power button.
    Are there any beep codes?
    Look at the power button:
    Solid amber = The computer has detected an error during power on self-test
    Breathing amber = The computer is in sleep/standby state or There is a possibility of system facing an issue
    Solid white = The computer is ON
    Off = The computer is off or in hibernate state

  • How to replace the inverter cable? screen gone black in MacBook

    Hi
    There is no apple service provider in my location. Can I replace the inverter cable without having to take the MacBook to an apple store? is it easy to do? and can I use any inverter cable? or does it have to be especially designed for Macbook?
    I have a black Macbook. The screen used to go black sporadically, and now it has totally gone black, and I couldn't get it to work again.
    Any advice????
    Thank you

    Your answer is most helpful and sincerely appreciated, Level 6
    Looks like the cable in question being identical throughout "The Black Period".
    Looking at it right now it seems easier to patch than waiting for a replacement.  Will report back if it wasn't.
    Mine is a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 13-inch Mid 2007, heavily hacked. 

  • Screen gone black

    my iphone screen has gone black
    when i plug it into the computer it syncs
    but i cant see anything on the screen
    and therefore cant use it at all
    what can i do?

    Hi there JesaBenstock.
    My screen keeps going black as well. I can hear the phone ringing and receiving text messages but cannot answer them as screen black and frozen - perhaps it's the Winter Virus!? Have you any idea why this is happening or is yours all better now?
    I now know about holding sleep and home key to get back to life but would rather it didn't freeze at all.
    Cheers, Pam

  • N97 screen gone black ?? please help

    the screen on my n97 had coloured lines going through it this kept happening for a few days and then the screen went black i can still get calls etc and the touch screen still works? if i slide the phone open or close the screen sometimes goes different colours!!
    can any one tell me whats wrong or how i can fix this please

    From what you tell, I'm 99% sure that your device suffers from a hardware failure/malfunction. AS we cannot help you with such issues here, you will have to visit a Nokia care point to get it repaired.
    Similar issues have been reported many times regarding similar devices. Most of them seems to be with the 5800 and the other 5000 candy bar touch screen phones.
    Good luck!

  • HT2188 iphone 4 screen gone black

    I was using an app when suddenly the screen went black, and after that nothing was responding... i pugged in for charging, but it wasnt responsive... later connected on to the Itunes, but again nothing was responsive... i even tried the wake/sleep and home button for 10-15 seconds, but still its not responsive... Can anybody suggest me what to do next?

    If you take apart your iPhone to do anything, it will void your warranty. You can pay an out-of-warranty fee for damage that's $149 if you open the phone.
    Try a hardware reset while connected to the charger.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Imac Screen gone black

    Helpppp! My Imac screen went black or rather does not come up after the start up sound. I should say this was during a thunderstorm and I think I heard the spark of electricity around the system and shortly after the contents on screen became distorted. I put off the system and the display no longer comes on. Please come to my aid.

    Thanks for your help BDAqua but I'm afraid the situation remains the same even after trying out your suggestion. I have taken a photo of the screen with my phone and this is photo is the best the screen can do. I hope it helps in diagnosing the problem

    If the issues persist, you should be within the return policy of your retailer. Return it for a new one if restoring the device doesnt work.

  • Iphone 4s screen gone black

    my iphone 4s screen has turn black after a hard fell on floor

    Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until yousee the Apple logo and then release. If the device does not restart, then make an appointment at the Apple store to have the hardware checked. More than likely you could need a replacement. If so, user damage is not covered unless you have Apple Care +, and you would need to pay for the device. OOW replacement costs for the iPhone are $199US for the iPhone 4S. If you check on this link and change the location to your own, you will see what the replacement costs are for you.
