When i start the computer it just go to a black

When i start the computer it just go to a black screen.. how do i fix this?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    Did you do anything to it before this started happening? Like: Install new software? add an external hard drive? without anymore information all i can say is that it is possible the computer thinks it is in presentation mode. Press the function button at the same time as the video mode button(usually doubles as one of the number or function keys at the top of the keyboard) It could also be a bad motherboard/video chip. It could also be a bad cmos/bios chip.

For any laptops, if it shows a blank screen, all persons including you can do some 'first aids'.
First Aid A:
1) Remove the battery and AC adapter.
2) Press and hold on the power button for one minute and then release.
3) Connect the AC adaptor and switch on the system.
If it doesn't solve the problem, try 'First Aid B'.
First Aid B:
1) Remove the battery and AC adapter.
2) Locate the RAM module. It is usually at the back side of the system under a removable lid.There are one or two screws for it. Remove the screw and take the lid. Then you can see the module.
3) Pull the arms of the holder of the RAM gently outward and take the RAM out.
3) Insert it back by holding it at an angle of 45 degree from the motherboard surface.
4) Connect the AC adapter.
5) Switch on the system.
If it doesn't solve the problem, try 'First Aid C'.
First Aid C:
1) Replace the RAM module with a known good one as expained in 'first Aid B'.
2) Swich on the system.
3) If it fails to vew the display, connect an external display.
4) Turn on the external display by pressing the Fn and F8/LCD/CRT keys.
If all these things are failed, then it is a motherboard problem or due to a currepeted BIOS. Contact a service personel.
If this document is helpful or not to you anyway make a comment.
If you are a laptop technician I can further help you contact me.
Good luck!

Proline V1165C4 Mini Laptop. The screen is black.

In the first instance, try a Power Reset

The "black screen of *****" is usually very easy to repair on a laptop. First turn your computer off by pressing and holding down the start button. Next unplug the computer and then remove the battery. Press and hold down the start button for about 60 seconds. Release the button and plug in the computer. Press the start button and the display should return. Replace the battery. If this does not work, try it again up to four times. No results usually indicates a bad mother board.

If that doesn't fix it, it may be the power adapter that lights the screen.

Laptop is working fine until the screen goes black

The problem of black screen can also happen in other versions of the Windows. However, the symptoms and effects of the problems in all operating systems are almost same. For instance, when a user starts his Windows, everything goes fine. But when he logs into it there awaits a black screen instead of the normal desktop layout. An average computer user finds it very disturbing and has no clue how to fix Windows 7.
However, the best way to find a solution to this problem is to fix the registry errors in your computer which become the cause of all major Windows errors and crashes. The registry in Windows 7 is a very important component of the entire operating system and it stores information about the Windows settings. If these settings are not adjusted properly then there start to appear strange computer problems such as Windows 7 black screen.
