I think i will have to tell you these simple tricks to help you next time when you experience this same problem or helping your friends/relatives who might be stuck with this problem.As i was taught back then in school.
There are several problems which cause the screen to experience the blackout.JUST TRY THESE SIMPLE STEPS TO SEE IF IT GONNA HELP.Electrical hitches.Remove your laptop's battery, unplug the power, hold power the button for 1 to 2 minutes, turn on computer with power plug only, then shutdown, add battery and restartMagnetic On/Off Switch to detect of Close/Open LidYour magnet switch is fubar some how. Open up the speaker cover and see if your lid actuator switch that come in contact with the magnet on your lid cover is stuck or not (find where the magnet is in the back of the front lid cover, trace where the magnet area actually touches the base of the computer and you will find the switch) Workaround, start windows with lid at 30 degree angleSoftwareTry Fn + F5 or something like thatFor the hardware's perils. I may not be able to truly execute it because i'm not competent in the computer hardware's issues.Thank for your question and i hope this elaborated trial gonna help you and the others who might be experiencing the same problem and confused on what to do.John Chol de Mawuer, Juba-South Sudan. Hi my name is Sweta I had the same problem with my compaq laptop. On power on the screen would stay black, no POST, nothing at all on the display.
The HDD would spin up but the HDD indicator would not come on and would not boot. The DVD drive would spin up and attempt to read a disc if one was in the tray but still would not boot.I found the answer on this blog. Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot. It worked for me! Just shutdown, put the battery back in you’re good to go. Worked for me so definitely worth a try.www.eTechies.inI have the same problem with my netbbook.
My PC is a Dell Inspiron 1090. You guys said to remove both battery and charger plug and hold the power button from a half to full minute. The only problem is that the 'battery' below my laptop is different (picture is in link to see what it looks like). Is there another way to solve it? If I have to get it to a computer shop I'm too lazy but I have to do it (I'm 15 btw)How my PC battery looks like. Hi my name is Sweta I had the same problem with my compaq laptop.

The Long Dark Black Screen On Startup
I have read many articles, followed it, but nothing results in solving my problem permanently. And still i am facing this problem to present date and I start hating windows 8, Sony Vaio Care, if it could not provide CARE to its customers. Hi everyone.I face the same problem but i used to solve myself you need to troubleshoot.First step: remove bettery from your computer and press power button for 30 sec. And start normal, if doesn't work. You need to refresh your pc in booting. This is depent on the window you are usin let me give u example with window 8.1 remove your bettery from laptop and insert again now when you restart your pc press f11 continously so you will see boot menu, there is an option refresh your pc select it and press next next until it refresh itself hope this would solve your problem but this would remove all you new install app but your file will not delete. Hi, experts,I'm new to this community.
My laptop has the same problem. I tried everything, but still the screen is black. Unplug, remove ac adaptor, hold 2 minutes, turn on.2.
Press fn and f53. Press f11 continuously. Etc etc, still no magic.At beginning there is normal start up sounds only the screen is blank, now there is no sounds at all. I am the woman only know how to use. Other than that, nothing else about computer.
Can somebody give me your advise what to do next.?
. If you can get to the Login screen. Check connections to external devices. If you have several external devices plugged in, remove all and try plugging them in one at a time. This way you can identify which device is problematic. Sometimes, additional hard disks can also cause this problem. It is better if you can detach additional hard disks when you’re doing this.
Safe mode. When you come to the login screen, Select the Power button while holding the Shift key. Then Click Restart.
When your PC is restarted, you’ll be prompted to the recovery screen. On that screen, select Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup settings → Restart. When your PC restarts, you’ll see a number of options.
