Display drivers showing big icons and unable to set the display

Shine a flashlight on the dark screen to see if you barely see the icons on the desktop. If so, then the LCD Inverter is bad.

Plug in an external monitor and see if the display shows up on it. It can be any kind of monitor even the old big fat crt monitors as long as it has a vga cable to connect to your computer's vga port. If so that proves your video card is ok. The video will show on most systems when you reboot without you having to do anything. Some systems will require you to hit the FN (Function key) + F1 thru F12. Hold down the FN key then hit the correct key for displaying on the monitor (F1 thru F12). The correct key will normally have CRT/LCD on it or it will have the icon of a display.

If you see no icons by shinning a flash light and the external monitor works, then your screen is bad. If you see no icons by shinning the flash light and nothing shows on the external monitor, then most likely your video card is bad.

What do you mean unable to install on screen display? Are you saying your screen is blank?

Maybe you need to reinstall the video drivers.

Get online and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "IBM Support" or "Lenovo Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating system when requested. Download and install the Video drivers.

If you are saying that the system boots up and everything seems to be running except the screen is blank then try the steps below.

Hi, This is the problem of screen resolution. First check that you have installed the display driver properly. Reset the resolution best compatible with your system and monitor. You can reset the resolution in standard 1024*768 pixel.

Hi..!
try to check whether display settings in ur phone are changed?
whether if u are unable to correct try to set default display settings!
by using phone menu..!
cheers......!

This indicates that there is limited or no connectivity.
Here are a few things to try out.

first is to check that you network drivers are in shape.

1. click on the windows start menu and click on run or press the windows logo key+ r
2. type "devmgmt.msc" without the quote in the run box and press enter/ok. from the windows that appears make sure that the network adapter filled is not showing and yellow symbol. If it does then you need to install new drivers for the network.
3. If no yellow symbol is showing then looks like your internet settings needs configuration.

For configuration
I will be very glad to help more but i will be limited to how far i can go. the only issue here is where you use a local area network or a form of wireless connection.
Anyway you need to perform manual configuration to have connections but in just a few cases this does not help much, most is based on the drivers installed correctly and a little from the ISP.
Now here is what i want you to do for me.
Double click on that the network icon if it is showing on the taskbar.
1. If it is not showing .......go to my network places.
2. click on "view network connections" on the left pane
3. right click on the network icon from there the displayed result and choose properties for the list
4. From the displayed properties make sure the two boxes are all checked/marked and click ok when done.

Now you should have the netork icon displayed. click it.
1. click on "support" from the tab
2. Write down the information showing on that panel
3. Click on "Details" and write down that information as well.

Send them to me so i can give you the required setting to get your connections working.

Dee:--- Desktop per Right Click & go to Arrange Icons By & go to Show Desktop Icons

OR

Dee :--- plz. remove display driver & Reinstall Driver that are your problem sol

OR

Dee:- ---- Desktop in Right Clip or Properties & go to Setting & go to Advanced option click & go to troubleshoot click & after click on None Side .

What is the OS??

Right click on the desktop and click on "Properties", "seettings" and set screen resolution to at least 1024 X 768 for LCD monitor or 800 X 600 for CRT monitors.

If they are set to those then there may be a prob with video driver.

Need more in depth explaination.
