| 2 Calico, on Nov 19, 2008 11:20:23 pm GMTOh great, thats the same thing that happen to my laptop. Now I have to send it away to get it fixed..BAH | 3 Nanor, on Dec 9, 2008 12:10:11 am GMTI 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. | 4 jojo, on Dec 9, 2008 12:42:47 am GMTThanks so much! your recommendation worked for my HP too. | 63 bmajor, on Feb 17, 2009 8:51:49 pm GMTThis worked! how did you figure out to do this? |

| 5 chris, on Dec 14, 2008 4:08:34 am GMTThank you so much for posting this information. It worked on my dv-6636 laptop as well. |
| 6 bexi, on Dec 20, 2008 9:51:29 am GMTWorked for me too, thanks!!:) | 180 Krish, on Aug 8, 2009 6:14:30 pm BSTI logged off successfullyin the morning but as I tried logging in the Laptop screen went blank,however in the background with 2% visibility I could see my emails and folders opening up like the normal working.
Please advise the error and solution.
Thanks,
Krish | 224 pinasco, on Nov 9, 2009 5:25:20 am GMTI will not give out my real email address.
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. |

I spent quite a while trawling the net before finding the fix, the only other recommendations were to send it off for repair. It seems to be working for quite a few HP models and seems to be more common than I thought. My laptop has not acted up once since I tried the fix, good luck everyone with yours! | 9 Sam, on Dec 21, 2008 7:04:39 pm GMTThanks Nanor, It worked for me as well. I had similar situation with my dv9700 today, looked online & found this post, really worked like magic. |

| 205 Guerry, on Sep 24, 2009 3:01:08 am BSTHi dear Nanor,
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.
Thanks | 222 Mathilda Wasi, on Nov 9, 2009 12:48:44 am GMTI have a Toshiba Laptop but the fault is, when I switch on the power the laptop comes on with a blank screen, and only the red writings saying "IN TOUCH WITH TOSHIBA" and none other thing else and can't display the main screen or the blue desktop which I expect to see.
Please tell me what is the fault.
Thanks

| 12 mannubhai, on Dec 28, 2008 11:55:43 am GMTGreat stuff Nanor, you saved me some effort.And guess what it worked on my Acer TM4600......just beautiful. Thanks a million. |
| 15 Nick, on Jan 3, 2009 1:52:52 am GMTWow, I tried everything. My laptop screen would remain black on boot and when the laptop was opened from a closed position(when running), the HDD would keep rebooting. HP tech support told me to 1. Reset BIOS, 2. Reinstall Power Management, 3. Disable Restart Option. Step 4: Start up Repair. I went through all the steps but no avail. Finally, I landed here somehow and so far has worked like magic !. I was about to reinstall Vista or buy another laptop as I was told that the problem was with the screen and it was better to buy a new computer than spend the same amount on new screen ! Thanks a ton ! | 54 lucky_009_, on Feb 4, 2009 5:45:47 am GMTI just bought a acer mini laptop, i've only had it for about 5 days, and it's doing the same rebooting thing along with a blue screen of death, was wondering what you did to solve this problem and if you could help me out, or should i just return it in hopes that they exchange it... thx plz write back | 197 tarantula_pinky_eater, on Sep 5, 2009 6:55:40 pm BSTHey, I would call acer on that because when my bios went out they walked me step by step on flashing it from a USB. If they can't fix it then it's a 30 day warranty. Even with installed software the OS is supposed to stay "alive" for at least 30 days.
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.

| 21 2808, on Jan 7, 2009 1:46:25 am GMTNanor,
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, |
| Nanor, many thanks. This has just worked for an HP Pavilion dv5000 series. Had been working on battery; battery and memory getting low; restarted. Closed lid to move to another room and connected to mains. Opened lid, laptop would not resume, black screen, no h/d activity, power light on and not blinking. Would not crash, either on mains or on low battery. Allowed laptop to cool for half an hour in case overheating might be the problem. Tried inserting HP recovery disk, a short burst of h/d activity which was not sustained; re-inserted recovery disc and tried repeated F8 key in few seconds during brief time while h/d remained active, nothing. Found your tip using another laptop, followed your instructions and whatever had caused the lock up was sorted and booted first time.
Great! |
| 26 michelle, on Jan 10, 2009 2:11:53 am GMTI tried this several times, and still nothing.... i cant even get into BIOS....any other suggestions?? | 85 Jabe, on Mar 21, 2009 5:10:35 pm GMTI have seen these symptoms on two of my grandchildren's DV9000 notebooks. I tried the 60 second power switch fix, but it did not work. I suspect this is a lid switch module problem, but I have not varified this. I did discover the following workaround after hours of trouble shooting.
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. |

Thank you for your advice in helping to fix issues. Mine is a Sony laptop. After two days of considerable perseverance I came across your instruction. I have reconnected the Mem card after 2 mins and hold the power button for 60 secs without battery. Then reconnect battery and swithced ON. There it was back to LIFE. It worked. Thanks again budy!! Also jsut want to share this one: the fan was roaring a lot then again after persevering for many days I finally insert some CASTOR OIL on the bearing in situ with the help of two flat screw drivers. For how to open the laptop, replace the HDD (Holy Grail) go to http://repair4laptop.org/disassembly_sony.html. I hope mine will add to help others in need too. Bye for now |

| 38 CochlearGuy, on Jan 21, 2009 3:25:39 pm GMTI have the exact same problem as you describe. I tried doing what you suggest to no avail. I even left it unplugged with the battery out overnight. I tried unplugging the power, taking out the battery and pushing power button for 60 seconds. Still having the problem. Screen stays blank and an icon flashed showing the computer locked. If I take it apart, I wonder if I can get it all back together again. Figured it won't hurt to take it apart. It stays in lock mode --might even throw it in the dumpster. Not sure yet--still curious at the time to see if a solution can be found. smiles | 124 casey, on May 13, 2009 2:38:08 pm BSTSeems like you and I are in the same boat at this point -- especially at the throwing in the dumpster part. Let me know if you ever figured anything out. |

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? |

As long as i don't close the lid i'm fine. you said to try f2 + external monitor where is that on my key board? also do you know of anywhere i can install drivers from other then the dell site, their support system stinks and their updates don't work.
thanks for any help you can give. |
| 199 armychk, on Sep 7, 2009 5:30:58 am BSTMy problem was my system would start (screen included). After I put in my screen password, it would load and promptly turn black. Everything was still on and running, but the screen was black. I used Nanor's solution a couple times. Finally, I held the power button down for several minutes, then I restarted my HP laptop. Also upon my system booting, I played with the external monitor and the increase brightness buttons. I have a dv6436. So, the buttons I used were fn + F4 and fn + F8. It eventually worked. YAY!!!!!!! The store I shall abbreviate as BB to keep their anonymity ;-) told me it would be $299 to run advanced diagnostics testing. That's $299 before fixing anything!!!!!! As soon as they told me that, I left with my laptop. Thanks Joe and Nanor! |

Initially disappointed, I came to work and browsed some forums and came across this and the solution totally worked. Highly impressed and greatful. Thank you. |
| 103 idontknow, on Apr 16, 2009 6:28:40 pm BSTThanks so much! That worked on my toshiba satellite too! I had the power plug in, but didn't realize it wasn't connected, so when the battery ran out, it turned off. Imagine my suprise. It was black when I turned it on and I thought I broke my computer, but your tip fixed it. The battery was quite warm when I removed it, I wonder if the heat has something to do with it? |

Do you have any idea about how to resolve this problem?? |

| 113 S, on Apr 28, 2009 1:49:21 am BSTHi i read your answer about the screen on laptop going black, dont quite understand it though, am i right on doing this
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

And I went to computer shop to check he said there are 3 possibility happen to this laptop which 1. problem with the monitor screen 2. problem with motherboard, and 3. problem with invertor and it's quite costly if I let him to repair. So, I am sure you have a solution and please help me on this. I just use the laptop for 1 year.It is Dell laptop. |

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.

| 219 pinny, on Oct 26, 2009 3:30:56 pm GMTHi i had the same problem with my dv4000 the screen wouldnt show up however the power was going on , so i tried following your advice but it didnt get me far the screen still didnt work so i went online and searched for a screen and bumped into a website called <a href="www.laptopmaven.com">www.laptopmaven.com</a> and they told me to plug the laptop into a external monitor and see if it works , so i plugged it in to a external monitor and it worked so they told me that chances are that i need a new screen or inverter so first i tried a different inverter and it didnt help then i tried a new screen which i bought from them and it helpd and it worked so they really helped me a lot thanks to the laptop maven |

| 226 Venkat, on Nov 10, 2009 2:40:12 pm GMTI have Toshiba Satellite laptop and it was working fine yesterday. I have plugged-in it with AC Adapter and the AC Adapter has the GREEN light. On front of the laptop, the power supply light (Blue LED) is blinking and the battery light is in RED. Nothing happens after pressing the Power button on the laptop. Thought of faulty AC Adapter and bought the new AC Adapter and the power supply light (Blue LED) is still blinking. How to fix this problem, PLEASE.
Thanks. |
