Last time my friend’s hp pavillion dv2120us screen went black, I found SOMEWHERE on line,a combination of keys to press, with directions when to plug and unplug, WHATEVER the combination was—-it worked! Unfortunately I did not save the website or directions, and the screen went black again. Do you have the formula? I think the back light might be going, or went…
I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!

I was updating my laptop’s display driver and hit ctrl alt delete in the middle of the update and now the screen is black.

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and it works fine until I close it while it’s still on, as the screen wont cut back on. What’s wrong with it and how do I fix this?

Hi,

My laptop is from US and I used it in India and it was fine, when I got my laptop to UK and plugin it was fine for few minutes and it slowly turned black. It works fine when I connect it ot external monitor. IS there somthing to do with voltage?? On the charger it says suitable for 110-220V. i believe Uk voltage is 220V same as India. HELP ME PLS. Mine is Dell XPS 1530. By the way, as I dint use my laptop regularly the battery is not working properly, so I have to use the power supply to work on my lappy … Please help me in fixing my screen. Any suggestions!!

my screen stopped working w/ no warning. I haven’t had problems of any sort. My son closed it without shutting it down. I’ve turned it on/off, tried the esc button and ctrl alt del which has always worked in the past. but b4 i had a blinking cursor like it was waiting for me to type. this time: nothing. i am using a rbg cord hooked to my tv which is working fine. this laptop is only a few months old.

aj,

I can use the safe mode. Do you know the specific name of the driver I need? Cause I lost my CD and when I browse online, I don’t know what I’m looking for specifically.

Instead of Safe Mode try Last Known Good Configuration.
If it doesn’t help, boot into Safe Mode and revert system back in time when it worked using System Restore.
