I cant get back to desk top on my hudle tablet?i just have a black screen

Black screen can mean the tablet is dead. it can also mean the display is burned. But more often than not, it is due to corrupted OS which can be resolved by reflashing its ROM.

Laptop screen problem

If you have access to a desk top computer monitor, plug it into the side port on the laptop. (usually a blue port) and see if you have a video signal. If the Desk Top Monitor functions, and the Laptop is black; your Laptop screen is NG.

The back light is the whole of the screen, the screen is illuminated by a CCFL lamp (fluro tube) on the bottom of the screen. A inverter supplies high voltage to this CCFL lamp.
If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LED flashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow my instructions to identify the fault and possible fix :-

My computer turns on to a black screen

A black screen spells trouble.

You will likely need to get one of the following done

1) replace the LCD itself
2) replace the inverter board
3) replace the motherboard (least likely)

You will need a tech to look at to figure it out.

sincerely,

Black screen

Even though your computer screen has good black does not mean the computer is gone, first try the fn button on left bottom of the key board, hold this down with the f1 fey or the function key that has a light bulb on it.or the f8 fey with the sun on it. If these do not work, or the f3, try these first, then If these do not help, se if you have a local flea market that has a computer shop, these are people who are much cheaper than retail and sometimes much faster. If it is an older computer you can hook it up to a desk top montior and use it as if it was a desk top instead. I had one that the screen is broke off, but the computer still works through the montior.
