IPC laptop has blank screen

IPC laptop screen goes blank after booting up. I want to use dual display on both the laptop and the whiteboard as I always do. The screen loads ok onto the whiteboard but not on the laptop! Steps I have taken include: Have tried the function key and F5 to send display back to laptop but nothing seems to work. I have changed the boot-up sequence in BIOS which is now - 1st boot from HD, 2nd from CD-ROM, 3rd from A:// and 4th from Network. I do not have an IPC manual! Help please :-)

Hi, Boot to windows, using whatever screen you can (external or lcd, whatever is presently working) Right click anywhere on the screen and go to properties (far right tab) you should see icons of two screens, and below that a button labeled "identify". Click on that button and see which screen is assigned number 1 and number 2. You can configure the display properties here, assigning primary and secondary screens, or sharing your desktop with each. Good luck

All your doing in the bios is changing the boot up sequence to the drives?. If it was FN key and F5 similtaneously then Im baffled. In my machine its the FN and F4 together or at the same time and the screen goes back and forwards or both stay on.

My Acer Aspire V5-571 does not load up it shows acer screen when turning on the laptop then loading floating ball comes on screen for a few seconds then black screen ? can any one please help ?

Hi Jim,

this seems like a no boot / no video kind off issue and mostly is coz of corruptions in softwares or drivers, try booting the computer in safe mode. if it does, then take a data backup. i would not recommend experimenting in this issue as it can crash the computer.
hence call 1-877-805-1027 for expert help.

Just got cq56-115dx laptop this morning. turned it off after setting it up. Turned it back on and only have blank screen. Power shows lit up.

Hi.

Remove the AC power (charger) and then take the battery out. Plug in just the AC power supply and turn the laptop on, see if it boots up and shows a display on-screen. If it boots let it boot up and then shut it down as normal. Reinsert the battery and try as normal.
If you still get a blank screen can you then tell me if you get any post (splash) information like the Compaq Presario logo before it goes blank.


Good luck.

Blank white screen in my Acer Travelmate 5730 Laptop

Hello Karthik,
This must surely be a problem with your monitor, because you say that you see the white screen while boot up. If this is a graphic driver issue, you may have the problem after booting up in windows. Since its been only a month old laptop, the product must be in warranty for sure. Take away any CDs in the drive, any USB drives and see if this white screen appears. Let us know.

Thank you!

Blank screen after boting up

There should be a display toggle key on your keyboard. This will toggle the display from the external display to the laptop lcd. Try pressing the Fn + F5 key to toggle the display.

Linux boots, take usr name and password, then screen goes blank

You could try pressing Alt+Ctrl F1 at the logon to get a TTY logon. If none of your apps are X-based, then you can use them that way otherwise you could try and use the TTY terminal to reinstall/repair X or KDE. Sorry I can't be more help, but hopefully this can steer you in the right direction.
