Screen probs Both sides of my laptop screen have gone completely black, whatcha think and is there a way to fix?

That is completely normal. Most Youtube Videos are posted in a 4:3 Letterbox Format. If it was filmed or uploaded in a 16:9 Widescreen format you would not see those bars. Try this HD Widescreen Format video link and let me know if the bars are gone: http://youtu.be/yZgcjOJnk0k

Okay
I think your laptop bios is deleted ya currupted
so go acer service center

Wait Black Screen? AFTER you changed the fan... hmmm... I think I know what the problem is. Okay solution one; You might of hit a wire or cord in the computer when you changed out the fan. Two: You might have the virus 223, get it fixed and it should be going again! Hoped this helped! :D

hello,

the screen has gone completely white because there is a problem from the connection linking the screen to the board.

try to adjust the screen to the end and see what will happen.

if it does the same, that means you have to fix the flex of the laptop.

the flex is the part that links the board to the screen.

take care

I think your having the same problem i have, i would like you to try something go find a monitor and plug it in hit the key combination that puts it on the monitor if it appears on the monitor like normal then your screen is broken but if the monitor goes black and your computer screen goes back to normal then your graphics chip is messed up but don't worry just reboot it if it is messed up, that should fix it.

there is a poor or many poor solder joints in the vertical section of you tv, this is a simple repair for a technician. the set should not be used until this is fixed or this could damage other parts of the television.

Yeah, I have this exact same problem, except my mom slammed my laptop shut in frustration around half an hour ago, so that's why it's like this. The right half of my screen is black with two colorful stripes (mostly white), but the left half is visible. I've researched a bit and found out that this is because the LCD in your monitor has burnt out, and since you don't have a monitor to attach, the only thing you can do is to go to where you bought the laptop and either get it fixed for free or return it for a brand new one (if your warranty still stands). If not, you might as well get a new laptop. I think my warranty has expired, so I'll get a new laptop, hopefully.

Hope this helps!

It sounds like your laptop is using it's external VGA adapter for its main display. Try holding down the Function (FN) on your keyboard located on the bottom left hand side and pressing F4 at the same time.

You either have a screen that has gone and needs to be replaced or a cheaper fix and usually a more likely one is that the inverter in the screen has gone out. The inverter is quite cheap, around $34.00. Try it

Hi,

First, are you sure you have the correct power supply?

Also, the lcd inverter could be going bad, consequently needing more power than it can get off the battery.

Hope this helps,

Good luck
