Question about Lenovo G580 Laptop

How do I fix the dim screen of my computer?

This morning I had trouble booting the computer up and received an error message. After getting it to boot up, the screen remains very dark. I tried turning the brightness up, and this does nothing. I also took the battery out.

Solutions

Computer is booting from a non-bootable source

Many times this error is caused when the computer is attempting to boot from a non-bootable floppy disk or CD-ROM. First verify that no floppy diskette or CD is in the computer, unless you are attempting to boot from a diskette.

Note: This error has also been known to occur when a memory stick is in a card reader and the computer is attempting to boot from it. If you have any card reader or flash reader make sure that no memory stick is inside the computer. Additionally disconnect all USB drives, cameras, ipods, iphones, etc. from the computer.

If you are attempting to boot from a floppy diskette and are receiving this error message it is likely that the diskette does not have all the necessary files or is corrupt.

If you are attempting to install Windows XP or Windows 2000 and are receiving this error message as the computer is booting verify that your computer BIOS has the proper boot settings. For example, if you are attempting to run the install from the CD-ROM make sure the CD-ROM is the first boot device, and not the hard disk drive.

Second, when the computer is booting you should receive the below prompt.

Press any key to boot from the CD

Important: When you see this message press any key such as the Enter key immediately, otherwise it will try booting from the hard drive and likely get the NTLDR error again.

Note: If you are not receiving the above message and your BIOS boot options are set properly it's also possible that your CD-ROM drive may not be booting from the CD-ROM properly. Verify the jumpers are set properly on the CD-ROM drive.

My ViewSonic computer monitor keeps displaying a Vga Not Support Message upon booting then the message Out Of Range comes up on a completely dark screen. Need Help

It sounds like the computer is trying to use a resolution that the monitor cannot handle. Boot into safe mode by pressing the f8 key during boot up and select safe mode. Once booted, right click on the desktop and select properties. In settings lower the resolution by moving the bar to the left and reboot.

I would move it all the way down, you can then move it up a step at a time once you are in normal mode again.

Hope this helps

Trying booting into safe mode by pressing F8 while the computer is booting up.
Choose safe mode with the arrow keys and see if it boots that way.

Computer Blue Screen of Death

burn this disk as an .iso and boot from disk. try the recovery options on this disk first, and if nothing then you may be in need of a free OS install. you MUST keep all virus, spyware, and firewall up to date n order to keep your computer safe. free-avg.com does have a great free download.
Good Luck

Blue screen of death.

Try re-seating the RAM (memory sticks) with the system turned off. Clean out any dust from inside the PC, especially on the CPU fan.

Booting problem and blue screen

Try booting the MAC OS disk. If it boots correctly, it probably is the hard drive. Also, If it boots ok, try the repair utility on the cd.

System does not boot Possible Hard drive issue

Hiya. Why replace the hard drive? When you say your computer failed to boot - are you sure it wasn't booting? Maybe it did boot but your screen remained blank. It sounds more like a screen problem, quite likely the ribbon connection is loose or it could be damaged. Its a very common problem and tilting the screen moves the ribbon a fraction and it then makes the connection. Try switching on and if the screen is totally blank, no message at all, no flashing cursor then its the screen. If you wanted to be 110% sure, easiest way is to connect laptop to an external screen and test it that way. Hope this is helpful.
