WINDOWS BLACK SCREEN AFTER VM WARE DEMO PLEASE HELP

I tried installing VM Ware Fusion Demo. I could not use my wireless mouse and keyboard, now I can't even startup with Windows. I get a black screen. Please help!

Go into safemode and uninstall the Nvidia driver you have installed and after restarting the computer and allowing extra time for windows to install a default driver for the graphics, install the Windows 7 driver for your computer found in the Toshiba download page for your laptop.
If you have issues with the screen blacking out after doing that, follow the instructions found here and this will correct that.

  • Black screen after 10.51 update, please help!

    Installed Leopard on external F/W drive , although could not repair permissions on drive.I installed 10.51 then, display went black,and would not come on. Forced the machine to turn off. Disconnected external drive, pulled all the A/C cords,etc. Finally got it to start on the old Tiger OS on the internal drive.
    Just got off the phone with Applecare and they gave me the old "We do not support 3rd party hardware". My external drive is a OWC 911 chipset drive with Tiger on the partition so I don't get it.
    Is there perhaps something different about Leopard that precludes you from installing it on an external firewire drive?
    Does Anyone have any ideas?

    If cd boot was okay and attrib bcd was not, then the the bcd is apparently missing. Bad news. Time to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
    Are there important files to recover first?
    Even recovery with "0" is impossible, though it did work fine previous to this.
    If the recovery discs were not created,  you can obtain them from Toshiba.

  • HP DV4-1155SE Black Screen and Wont Boot. Please Help!

    Hello all I am working on an Hp DV4-1155SE. I have tested the memory modules, the hard drive and everything else that I can take out of the computer easily. Everything works but!, The laptop will not boot into the bios or anything else. Black screen, wont boot and i have the bios file that HP supplies on the support page of the site. I have looked at the instructions that a few people have posted about re flashing the bios and that does not seem to help me at all with this AMD processor. If anyone can please offer any help at all this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I will search on int 19h....thanks.
    My problem started before the bios-screen.
    This is what I tried this evening:
    - Disconnected all non-essential devices...no effect.
    - Cleared the CMOS...system booted to OS!    Screens still garbled! 
    - Put in an older graphics-card...No artifacts! 
    - Put my MSI NX6600GT (AGP) back in...screen grabled while booting. Once in OS everything
      looks fine at first. Later I noticed some odd random pixels. Playing movies is working fine.
      Playing 3D games results in all kinds of strange looking artifacts.
    - Installed the latest NVidia- drivers...no effect.
    Is my problem still MOBO related or Graphics Adapter?
    Any further advice?
    Thanks!

    - Try a reset.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

  • Intel iMac G5, black screen during erase and install -- PLEASE HELP!

    My sister's Intel iMac G5 seriously has been a lemon, it has had SO many issues. It's now 2 years old, and has been rather slow for the maybe the last year, but over the last month or so it has gone way downhill, and it literally takes an hour to boot up, and 4-5 minutes to do anything (open an application, look at a photo in iPhoto, etc.). So, we've been trying to "erase and install" with her install discs to hopefully give the computer a clean boot and see if it helps at all. She has already backed everything up.
    She started the erase and install last night, and it was going ridiculously slow. This morning when she woke up, the blue progress bar had gone about half way across. Then she went to get her kids ready, and when she came back in it looked like the computer was rebooting itself (gray screen with apple), but then the screen turned black and she can't do anything on it. Has anyone seen anything similar to this before?
    We have had so much trouble getting this to work (we tried an archive and install a few days ago, but it gave her an error at the end). For about a day we couldn't even get the computer to boot up at all, but then miraculously yesterday morning it booted! Please help, I've converted her to Macs but if I can't get hers fixed she may never get one again!!

    Does she have the Apple Hardware Test CD/DVD?

  • My imac has a black screen after I turn it on, help!!

    After the latest system update, my imac froze. I turned it off holding down the power button. Now every time I try to the system on, a black screen appears and nothing else happens. What do I do?

    Looks like the same thing just happened to my wife's 20"G5 iMac. After the most recent update she said the system crashed then on startup after about a minute of the spinning wheel the screen went black ... nothing happened. So after leaving it for 20minutes I shut it down by holding down the startup button on the back ... same thing, and again a further two times. So the issue wasn't a one off.
    Then as I started to surf discussions to come up with a solution it came right by itself ... I don't know what it was. Maybe it just needed more than 20 minutes to set itself up. Or maybe it just needed a few prods to get it started.
    Just thought I had better try a restart again to see if the problem was actually solved ... same thing happened. Now after about ten minutes after startup it comes back on ... weird. No time for doing a whole lot more than that at the moment.

  • My camera is not working, just a black screen, won't take pics please help

    WWhy won't my camera take pics..just a black screen ?

    CClose the camera app and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Beach Ball of Death, Dark Gray Screen after Clean OS ReInstall- Please Help

    My 13" MBP is less than two months old.
    I read online somewhere that a company that buys large quantities of Macs has a strategy for combating the industry standard 5% hard drive failure in new notebooks. It said something along the lines of performing a clean install / reformat of OS X was a good idea to see if any problems arise- then the HD would likely have problems in the near future, etc...
    Being the nerd that I am I performed a clean install on my MBP. I had just performed one the day before on my other Mac (which worked perfectly).
    First of all, my MBP took roughly 15 minutes to boot from the disk (to begin the reinstall). Actually one time I gave it over 20 minutes and it never did load. Once I finally got to the Language select screen it froze, clicking the continue arrow did nothing and I couldn't even choose another language. So I shut down and tried again. The DVD doesn't look scratched. Is my drive less than stellar?
    This time, it worked, albeit, it took much longer to install than my lesser powered Mac Mini. OS X notified me that the installation was successful and that it now simply needed to restart. Upon restart I was greeted with a dark gray screen and mouse cursor spinning beach ball (that responded to trackpad).
    Shut down, turned it back on- same thing. Tried a bunch more times, no luck.
    Called Apple Care and after a few questions / tips we concluded that it needed to be sent in, the associate imagined it was a HD problem.
    I took my MBP to a local authorized service provider and they took it, and called me back in a few hours. I asked what they did to fix it, and they skillfully dodged the question. They said it should be good now, that it passed all hardware tests, but to let them know if it happened again.
    Since then it's been running okay. As a nerd it's a bit bothersome to know that I can't perform a clean install when I see fit- and that if I did, I'd have to take it into Apple Care again in the future, and once Apple Care runs out than a clean install just isn't an option.
    It boots up just as fast, but when it gets passed the white screen with the Apple logo... when the desktop is loading I noticed that it stays at the flash of the solid blue desktop a bit longer than usual (the second before it loads your desktop bg image). It also seems that fully loading all of the top right menu bar items takes a bit longer than before.
    Also, not sure if the hard drive's sudden motion sensor is going haywire. But randomly, the hard drive will make a singular faint "thud / click" noise. Very faint. But it's not your usual "reading data from the HD" hard drive thrashing noise you hear when you open an app / file. It's a single, more sudden noise, but like I said it is fairly quiet- I hear it when I have literally nothing running except this Safari window. This is something I didn't notice the first few weeks with the MBP.
    Also in system profiler, the battery's condition was never good, but only "Normal." I did calibrate my battery one of the first days I had it.
    Here's some coconutBattery info:
    Current Battery Capacity: 5588 mAh
    Original Battery Capacity: 5770 mAh
    Which is 96%.
    Load cycles: 10
    Anyways, curious if anyone has any ideas about my inability to perform a clean install and successfully boot up? I don't see any reason why it should have taken THAT long to boot from the disk, frozen in several random spots throughout, and then not be able to boot up.
    The HD noises aren't a huge deal just a bit concerning, and admittedly the battery info is just nerdy paranoia. Just curious what's going on with my MBP. Is there anything I can do, or should read?

    Hi simplecoder13,
    I perform a similar process on all the HDs that I buy, only I take it a step further. I'll run a single pass erase on drives under 500GB and a seven pass erase on drives larger than 500GB and ones that are deemed "mission critical." Here's an interest metric, though.
    Since 01/01/10 on laptop drives (Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi)
    +HDs purchases - 461+
    +Drives > 500GB - 119+
    +Drives < 500GB - 342+
    +Drives that fail zero test - 13+
    +Drives that pass zero test, fail within 30 days - 2+
    +Drives that pass zero test, fail within 60 days - 0+
    +Drives that pass zero test, fail within 90 days - 3+
    +Drives that pass zero test, fail within 180 days - 4+
    +Total drive failures within 6 months - 22 (4.77%) ~ 5%+
    I don't have a manufacturer break down, I suppose I should start logging that more closely. Anyway...
    I have a new MacBook Pro (13" @ 2.4GHz) and booting off the installation disc, from selecting the installer disc via the boot manager to the language selection screen is ~ 6 mins and 44 seconds. I use that as an average, I did it over 10 restarts but it was a pretty fair assessment. The fact that the installer is freezing is definitely cause for alarm, that's not normal or to be expected. Process of elimination would tell me the following:
    1.) The disc is bad
    2.) The optical drive is bad
    My understanding of the installer is the HD isn't initially accessed during the installer until you choose an install location (at which point it's mount point is verified).
    Regarding the battery, your full charge capacity is going to bounce around the first couple of months, usually anywhere from 250-400 mAh. I noticed sporadic reporting until I reached the 50 cycle mark (or around 6 months based on usage). That being said, I don't see any problems or cause for alarm with the information you've reported.

  • Black screen but this is different please help!

    Hello!
    Yesterday when I booted my iBook the screen was black (not just no backlight - totally black). Then I connected it to an external monitor and BOTH worked, my iBook screen was back and the monitor was OK.
    BUT afterwards I wanted to start it again without the external monitor and now the screen is always black again.
    I had the inverter and the reed cable (?) both repaired last year. They should not be the problem.
    If I understand it right it is not the logic board because the video worked with an external monitor.
    (I had the logic board repaired years ago and I am out of warranty now.)
    PR-ram, PMU etc. resetting didn't help.
    Does anyone have any advice?

    Usually when the graphics chip is loose, the video on an external monitor is just as bad as the iBook's own display. It's possible for the iBook to work intermittently, however, so that may have happened with yours.
    In the United States, asking for Customer Relations helps. Whereas Customer Service doesn't have the authority to make exceptions to the rules, Customer Relations does.

  • BLACK SCREEN WHEN MBP WAKES UP, PLEASE HELP!

    This has occurred before and I read somewhere on the discussion boards that if you install the leopard dvd again, then click on terminal and type something in and quit installer the screen wakes up, but I forgot where I saw this thread, can anyone help me?
    thank you

    I can't help you with the thread but what I say might be similar to what you are thinking of.
    Startup from the installation dvd by holding the C key at startup until the Apple logo appears. On the first screen select language. On the next screen choose Disk Utility from the Tools menu. Select your hard drive then Repair Disk. If repairs are needed and completed rerun the Repair disk to check that no more repairs are needed. If DU is unable to repair the disk you might need a service call although there are shareware programs that might be able to resolve the issue.
    If no repairs were needed use DU again but this time choose Repair permissions and repeat this if there is a list of repairs done.
    Restart normally after all this and see whether startup proceeds as it ought.

  • Black Screen After Windows 8 64-bit Upgrade (Clean Install) on TouchSmart IQ508A (IQ500 series)

    Hi there,
    Just installed Windows 8 and am getting a black screen after booting up like many others. I currently have disabled the graphics driver and this has solved the black screen issue but I can no longer use my web cam for Skype (although web cam works for W8 Camera App oddly).
    To date I have tried the following:
    Loading up the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website
    Attempting to use the drivers for Windows 7 both in compatability mode and normally. I unzipped SP44488 to get this working
    I know many others are having this problem so I really would  like someone from HP to respond and state whether a Windows 8 display driver for the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS is being developed.
    I ran the compatability wizard prior to the clean install and it came up with no issues so I am very disappointed I am having these problems.
    I've found out that HP have a customised version of the above card so that explains why the Nvidia drivers dont work so I believe HP is therefore obligated to provide a driver.
    If anyone else is having similar issues please respond as this will hopefully lead to more action.
    cheers
    Steve

    I'm in the same boat. On my IQ804, the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS card crashes when I use NVidia's latest Windows 8 driver and Microsoft's LIVE UPDATE drivers.  I have to resort to the Standard VGA driver in order for the pc not to crash into a black screen.
    I read on another forum you can try installing a July 2012 version of the driver from NVidia and that should solve the problem.  I tried it once. Using the July 2012 version, the screen would stay on longer, but eventually it crashes into a black screen...but definitely more usable than the latest from NVidia and Microsoft.
    I too have heard that HP used a customized version of the graphics card and that's why neither HP nor NVidia's drivers work.
    I also tried installing the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS drivers for Windows 7 that I downloaded from the HP website.  It didn't work either.  It actually failed to install altogether, saying my system is incompatible.
    As is, the pc works fine.  But videos and games that require motion is noticably choppy.
    Any help from HP??
