Urgent:  Laptop Won't Display

I was having trouble with my airport, and I followed the advice of someone who sent me a link detailing how to open the battery compartment and check it. I followed these directions, and now when I turn my computer on it makes the normal sounds, but there is nothing on the display. Does anyone know how I might find a way to use it? I am posting from a public computer lab, but I really need my laptop for school; it has all my work on it. Thanks.

Please include your full model number when posting problems on the forums. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop.
Right-click on the battery icon in the notification area near the clock and select "Power Options." Next to your selected plan, click "Change plan settings." Now click "Restore default settings for this plan."

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

    Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
    First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
    It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
    Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
    It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
    Can anybody help at all?

    Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
    I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
    The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
    I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
    One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

  • Laptop won't boot up WITH PICTURE

    Hello! I'm sorry if this has been asked before; I tried to search for words that might be related, and it returned way too many for me to read through, or to guess if they're having the same issue as I am. 
    I have a A505D-S6968 Satellite laptop.  It is three years old, and I use it every day as I'm a graduate student.  For the past couple days, I go to turn the laptop on, and it won't boot up.  The power light is on, a bank of lights at the top near the base of the screen, a light near the bottom, and the charging lights on the lower right corner.  The fan is running, and the CD/DVD drive makes a sound.  However, that's where it stops.  The screen doesn't display anything and there is no glow from it at all.  The keyboard is supposed to light up, and it doesn't.  The mousepad doesn't light up or work.  So it seems like there's power being provided to it in some respects, as a few lights come on, the fan comes one, and the CD/DVD drive "checks".
    Here is a picture of it misbehaving:
    Any ideas as to what could be going on?  I let it sit, turned completely off, all night, because I figured I'd just deal with it later.  I had tried for an hour to get it to start and it wouldn't; it just sits like that indefinitely.  But this morning, it booted up just fine.
    Now I'm afraid to ever turn it off again!
    Again, I apologize if this has been asked a million times, but I can't read all of the descriptions and try to guess if what they're describing is what is going on with mine.  Any help or ideas are appreciated!
    Thank you!
    Grace & Peace,
    Kristen

    What can I do if my Windows 7 or Windows Vista laptop won't start?
    If it still doesn't work, it sounds like it may be due to hardware failure that would require servicing.

    I have the latest Java software and can load the above feed in IE but not Mozilla. I can also load a similar Java feed from
    http://www.brmemc.net/brasstown/ in both IE and Mozilla.

    (Glad to see you're still lurking around here, Wyrenut.  Your posts have helped me tremendously.  And this comes form somebody who has run and internal developer's support group for quite a few years.)
    I also started having this problem after getting my TX hooked up through my home network.  I had to set up a wireless access point with only WPA security to get around having to change the WPA2 security on all my other equipment.  I applied the ESU upgrade, but that didn't seem to help with WPA2 Personal.  Previously, I could get at least half of the pages to come up through the open hotspot in the lobby of our building at work, but I haven't tried that since I applied the ESU upgrade this morning.
     I can get to the internet through the access point using a laptop, and I can see the IP address of the Palm coming through the access point on the router's admin page, and the DNS addresses of the PC and the Palm are the same.  So I think I'm through, but every page I try gets the 'Page not available' message, even if I enter the IP address of the page rather than the URL.
    Is there any other method of debugging available to see if the page is really coming back and locking up Blazer, or whether it's really not coming back at all?  Or any other suggestions? 
    Personally, I sort of liked the old Internet Explorer that counted off how many K were coming through as the page was being loaded.  At least you could tell something was happening.
    Thanks,

  • Web page won't display

    when i try to connect my laptop running on vista to the home hub 4 wirelessly it says that it is connected but it won't display any web pages saying there is a problem with the router or modem but my other laptop running on windows 7 has no problems please can anybody help??

    As Keith has suggested, check that the drivers for the wireless card are up to date via the card manufacturers website, obviously you will need to do this on your other laptop and if need be download them then transfer to the Vista laptop. Also go into the hub management page and change the security from WPA and WPA2 to WPA only and see how you get on.
    See link how to change hub security.

  • Pavilion g6 updated to windows 8.1 now tv won't display the screen

    I cracked the screen of my HP Pavilion g6, so I usually connect it through HDMI to my Coby TV and it usually worked fine. Now, after updating to Windows 8.1, my TV won't display anything. I believe it is because the screen is black, and my TV never displayed a black screen before, it only showed the screen once the laptop has started up. I've tried pressing f4 and i can see that the screen is blue in the small area of my screen that still works, but it still isn't showing through my TV so I don't know how I can fix this problem because I cannot see the screen. Please help!

    Hi ke11ie,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that after upgrading to Windows 8.1 your external display(CobyTV) is not working.   Just to rule out the TV if you connect to a different display does it work?
    Here is a link to Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8).
    Here is a link to Display Quality Issues, that may also be of aid.
    I hope this helps.

  • PSE8 Organizer won't display on monitor

    I have a really strange problem.  I have a new laptop running Windows 7.  I have a mouse, keyboard and monitor (among other things) attached to it via a port replicator so I can use the laptop as a desktop (whatever happened to good old docking stations?!?).  I have had all kinds of problems since installing PSE8, but this one baffels me.
    When I start up the Organizer, either from a direct shortcut to PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe OR through the Welcome screen, Organizer starts (and appears in the task bar) but only displays on the laptop screen.  It won't display on my monitor.  Now it worked a couple of times but then stopped working.
    I'm hoping there is a very simple solution!
    sue

    Edit > Visibility was set to Show All Files.  In Preferences, I unchecked all filter selections for Auto Analyze.  No effect.
    I have one folder with 3 .tiff files that PSE8 Organizer won't display.  Trying to import the files and PSE8 says they are there but PSE8 cannot display them.  No explanation.  Windows Photo Viewer and Picasa have no problem displaying them.
    I have deleted and made new catalogs with the same results for that folder.  I cannot figure out what is wrong with these files.  All other applications have no problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • My laptop won't come out of sleep

    I have the Macbook Pro w/ retina display and whenever I go to open it, my laptop won't come out of sleep and I have to hold the power button to turn it off then back on again. I have to do the same thing if I walk away from it for to long and the laptop goes to sleep except this time when I bring it out of slepp it just shows the enter password for user screen but it is frozen. I got my laptop on the 8th of June 2013 so it is practicly brand new. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

    Brand new out of the box this shouldn't happen. Bring it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • My iPhone 5 won't display smart text options.

    My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?

    Thoughts please.....

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

  • My scrollbar on my mouse pad on my laptop won't work since I downloaded the 4.0 version. I tried what some other people tried but I still can't get it to work.What can I do to fix it?

    I just download the 4.0 version and my scroll pad on my laptop won't work. I have to use my arrow keys or the side bar on the side. The scroll pad works with Internet Explorer and anywhere else just not with Firefox's newest version.

    This one is easy. The shortcut is for the old iTunes, that is why it won't work.
    I assume you are using Windows.
    If so, go to the bottom left of your screen and click the start button. Go up to programs and hold your cursor over it. A list of all your programs should pop up to the right. Move the curso over to iTunes. There should be an "about iTunes" and an iTunes logo there. Right click on the iTunes logo and click create shortcut (you can also just drag it out to your desktop). That will give you a desktop shortcut for your new version.

    This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

  • IMac 2.66 Radeon HD 2600 Pro: some Excel files won't display in ppt decks

    Running Leopard 10.5.8 and MS Office 2004
    Two iMac (8.1) 2.66 GHz with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video won't display some Excel files in PowerPoint decks, but iMac 1.83 GHz Core Duo will display o.k. as will MacBook Pro, MacBook, etc. Installing a trial version of Office 2008, both iMac 2.66 GHz display the PowerPoint files o.k.
    I could downgrade the users to Intel iMac 1.83 GHz, or buy two copies of Office 2008 and support them, neither of which is a great solution.
    Looking for a simple fix or workaround on what seems to be a video card issue. Don't seem to see this problem or a fix on the ATI site. I've googled this but haven't run into a similar issue.

    Well, Office 2008 is only $110 USD at http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2008-Home-Student/dp/B000X86ZAS/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1251560959&sr=8-1
    That seems the least expensive solution to me.

    Hi!! You should try the recovery feature in W7. Some times it can be accessed through safe mode. On my model it's easier to use the system repair disc. You can find out how to create that here.

    Here's what the recovery looks like. You have 5 options to help you. The Dos option can really help if you are familiar with Dos. In Dos you can do a chkdsk---sfc /scannow--- and a whole lot more. Start with the Repair option first and work your way down.
