Just to update everybody on my diagnose:
So there are many problems which will cause issues of the screen.
1. Software
- Try Fn + F5 or something like that
2. Electrical
- Remove battery, unplug power, hold power button for 60 seconds, turn on computer with power plug only, then shutdown, add battery and restart
3. Magnetic On/Off Switch to detect of Close/Open Lid
- Your magnet switch is fubar some how. Open up the speaker cover and see if your lid actuator switch that come in contact with the magnet on your lid cover is stuck or not (find where the magnet is in the back of the front lid cover, trace where the magnet area actually touches the base of the computer and you will find the switch)
- Workaround, start windows with lid at 30 degree angle
4. Hardware
- You need to replace either Inverter, Blacklight, or everything. =)
Good luck and have fun!!!
Please advise the error and solution.
Thanks,
Krish
It seems that the inverter on your laptop is broken, it can be purchased on ebay for 20 to 40 USD and replaced. They will sometimes even send you a guide on how to replace it. You can also send it to a service center, but that will cast a lot. search for your model on ebay and see if you can find an inverter there.
Everything is powering on fine and I have hear the fans running, the lights come one. i just can't see anything.
Thanks

What is your laptop Model #? What OS is on it? Two things can be problem. First Harddisk failure, second Motherboard failure.
Try this first but again I need to know your model number.
Take of battery, Connect the power, Turn on the laptop and started to tap "F8" Randomly a few times. See if you can reach the Safe Mode. If you do, Then Use your Arrows Up & Down go to safe mode and wait to load.
Scan your computer with Virus Protection If you have the program. If you do not, Try to do Defragmentation from start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk defragmantation .
If all this not worked, Try to jingle the power cord from the laptop entrance see it is loose. Nothing??
Then get help or if you do how to do it, Take the HDD out, scan it on another computer with external HDD+ USB connector. When it is finished, Put back and try again. This process will take your time, but better then you will pay for a tech and not get result.
Second problem is Motherboard has got power issues internal with some small Microchips that required to be soldered back on board because it may be connection problem. As I mention, Power cord entrance could be loose and does not complete the (+) - (-) circulation and stops to booting. Cracks on MB also same for all.
Contact me for all results, But please observ very well, cause I do not see your laptop. Give me detail info about your laptop see what I can do...

It has XP
I took the battery out, held the power button down for a few mins, tried to start it up while hitting f8 but that does not work.
Any other idea or tips on what i can try?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It could be a virus... Try to hook your hard drive to another system and then in that system go to your drive, system32/drivers and check if there is any file with 0 kb length, delete it, unhook the drive, install it back into your comp. and try!

I have a serious problem with my Everex Laptop. When I turn it on I hear the machine working but nothing appears on the screen. Do you think that your experience could work for my laptop too? Or can you provide other guidance to solve the problem? Appreciate it.

I asked my professor at ITT, to collaborate and he aggreed, even suggested that you try the second partition restore. 5 days you shouldn't have that much personal stuff but i could be wrong.

Thank you, I've been having the same problem with my Pavilion dv2125. I've tried everything and the only thing that has worked is turning the dam thing on and off until it wakes up. I've spent hours messing with it....extremely frustrating. Definately seems as though the low power sleep state has something to do with it. I wish HP was more proactive in helping resolve problems like this. I will try your solution the next time this happens to me and let you know the outcome. Did your computer repeat this behavior after you found a way to turn it back on?
Thank You,
Great!
1) Power off
2) Open the lid to about 30 degrees, enough to be able to access the power switch.
3) Press the power switch to power up, leaving the lid partially opened.
4) After the operating system is running the lid can be opened completely.
this worked perfect on my laptop dv5000 just like you says!!!
I disconected batery,unplug power cord, open the screen lid at 30 degree and hold the power for 30 sec then power on.
I was hopeless with my PC. I've tried almost everything and finally it is working!!!
Thanks again ;)

Same problem - blank screen on a HP DV6125se. I would love to try the power cycle solution, only problem is the power button doesn't work. The power button issue is not new, I have to do a song and dance to boot the computer up. Bottom line is that I can't hold the power button after the power drain cycle to try and clear and/or reset whatever it is to resolve this issue. (This computer has had one problem after another) Any other suggestions to try?
Thanks a lot!! It works for my DV6000
i have toshiba satellite A60 and last night i updated my Bios from toshiba website and after that my laptop was shutdown automatically now i am trying to turn on but its not starting, i also done the above same precedure , remove the battery and hold the power button for 60 sec but its still not turning on. when you press the power button its look like just about to start but suddenly its goes off. i will really appreciate if you could help me in that, thanks.
Qaice

Thanks!
Do you have any idea about how to resolve this problem??
Youre info saved me from taking it into a shop for repairs and it totally made my day!!! Laptop works perfectly again! Seriously, THANK YOU!!!

Fish
1. UNPLUG THE POWER
2. REMOVE BATTERY
3. HOLD POWER BUTTON FOR 30/60 SECONDS
4. REATTACH POWER AND START THE LAPTOP
5. SHUT BACK DOWN
6. PUT IN THE BATTERY
7. THATS IT
The bit i dont understand is that you power the laptop up without the battery in it or am i just thick
many thanks

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
I was heading to the repair shop until did the Google and read your post.
Thank you very much.
Just like I tell my digital art students, rest the system like in Jurassic Park, then I found out all my students were born after the movie came out.
Peace

But when I tried powering it back up, I would hear the fan spin and the hard drive making its usual spin(going silent after), but the screen remained blank..I thought I was screwed.. until I searched and found this answer..did as you said and now it works perfectly again.
Thanks a lot =D
it works. can you also explain what does it do when holding down the power button for 30-60 seconds?
thanks very much.

YOUR HELP SAVED ME BIG $$$
Are you talking about HP having an additional warrenty for the problem with the screen going black? We have tried several fixes and nothing seems to work.
Thanks so much
Julie
I followed the instructions to a T and was over the moon when it worked. I can still hardly believe it.
I thank you so much for your own search and the generosity of placing it here for others to read.
My heartfelt thanks again and again.

No screen on startup.
Thanks a million, I was dreading a real saga when i started researching, but this trick worked perfectly on my 2009 HP DV6.
Fantastic.
You ROCK!!
( Helpful message is here from Nanor: I had the same problem with my HP DV6599. On power on the screen would stay black, no POST, nothing at all on the display. The HDD would spin up but the HDD indicator would not come on and would not boot. The DVD drive would spin up and attempt to read a disc if one was in the tray but still would not boot. I found an answer on another forum. Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot. It worked for me! Just shutdown, put the battery back in you're good to go. Worked for me so definitely worth a try. )
Cheers,

Using the "unplug/battery out/hold Start for 1 min/plug" recipe, I was able to revive a seemingly dead nx5000 which I was just about to send to service :-)
THANK U SO MUCH...IT WORKED FOR OUR LAPTOP....THANK U SO MUCH...
