If the video is fine on an external monitor, then your video card is most likely fine and also not a virus. It is either the video cable or the LCD screen itself. Unfortunately, you need a known...

Not reliably. replace the power button.

Time for a new PC. Emachines typically have very cheap power supplies, and they will eventually feed 24 or so volts to the motherboard. Pow, zap, throw away.

Sounds like a power button issue. There may be some dirt, or crumbs under the button. Remove the button panel, and test it. then, blow out any debris, and then retest.

Sounds like a driver issue since this occured right after a restore. look for updated drivers, and go by the serial number of the drive.

Sounds like a power problem. Inspect the motherboard under a magnifying glass. look for any bad solder joints, especially around the battery plug area and the power jack area. It sounds like a...

It sounds like the power jack inside the laptop has broken. We've fixed a lot of power jacks, and your symptoms fit the bill. Strip the motherboard out of the laptop, and buy a new powerjack, and...

Sounds like a hardware conflict. Strip it down to just the Power supply, motherboard, minimum RAM, keyboard, mouse and monitor. If you have onboard video, use that and remove your video card. Get...

Beep codes mean hardware. Purchase a POST card off Ebay, and then read the codes from the card. then troubleshoot the components.

Take out the motherboard, and inspect the power connector-to-motherboard solder joints. Look for hairline cracks in the solder. Resolder if you find any. Also test for power coming in while the...

If there is no video on either the LCD or the external connection, then the onboard video is shot. Take the motherboard out, and inspect it all over with a magnifying glass. Look for components...

We figured it out. The IC chip that regulates the power distribution was fried. We replaced it an now it works fine.

During my time in the Airforce, i regularly used technology, both hardware and software that was about 20 years ahead of civilian deployment. I was making VOIP calls in 1984 on a regular basis, and...

The backlight is definitley not working here. For it to work, the light must get high voltage from the inverter, and the inverter must get power and logic signals from the motherboard through the...

I know the 1150's have a power jack issue, we've fixed a huge amount of them. The one problem we haven't figred out is this. After some repairs to the power jack, the laptop will run on battery, it...

New screen works great, thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks, I'll give a new screen a try and repost. Give me about a week though, for shipping and installation, prayers, alms and pennance...LOL

One of my kids caught the power cord and ( you know it) the laptop hit the floor. I caught it at the last second, so it didn't take a bad whack, but now the screen is all white. The laptop is fully...

Check the refresh rate, as well as the default resolution for that card against the supported modes for that monitor. If the card has a default setup that is not compatible with the monitor, then it...

Step 1, switch monitors. ( I think it is the LCD panel personally)
If that fixes it, replace or repair that LCD Monitor. Do this and repost.

The backlight is failing. Replace it, or have it replaced.

Most likely, yes. Hit the 'FN' key and the 'F' key with the monitor printed on it. If the spare monitor does not wake up, after 5 seconds or so, then do it again. This will cycle the video card...

Match the output of your video card to the settings of your monitor.

One of the high voltage transformers or a ccfl may be going bad, causing a safety shutdown in the inverter board. This is pretty common.

Plug in an external monitor. If the external displays fine, then the video card is also fine. Gently pinch the edges of the LCD screen where the lines terminate. If the lines change or go away,...

The fault: A lack of video signal reaching the LCD. The video signal is being recieved, but it is not being transferred to the LCD Panel. your backilights are fine, hence the white screen. I have...

Gently squeeze the panel where the lines meet the edge of the screen. If they go away or change then you need a new LCD panel.

There are two models of the E151fpb. the earlier models have weak solder points that need to be re-soldered. the newer versions have other problems. If your monitor works for a little while, then...

"Soda" can mean a few things. If it is Coke, or any cola, then it is very acidic and will eat into various components of your laptop. Citrus based soft drinks aren't as bad, and plain seltzer water...

OK, the HD is used, (duh doggy boy), I got carried away there. Paste is applied, and all windows settings are for nothing. All drivers are in, and loaded, no conflicts. I've heard of this...

I just assembled a PC:

MOBO: pcchips a33g
Proc: AMD Athlon 3500
MEM: Crucial brand 512 MB
Audio and Video: Integrated
Wireless: USB 2.0 Trendnet adapter
HD: 8GB ( small I know, but I store...

If the vga display option workd fine, but the dvi does not, you may hav a hardware compatability problem. Goto the display manufacturer's website and see if there is an issue with this video card.

Whenever the control panel does not display an option, it usuall means that there is no hardware detected that uses the option. I have a similar video card, and when it doesn't detect another...

That's an analog video, converted to digital. Low quality results from "digital distortion". Try uploading a digital video from raw capture and see the difference.

This will happen when a game has a hard time with the video card, or the CD is not being read properly. When a game starts, it runs a little program called a "screen blanker", this lays a black...

If the flaky business is going on no matter what program you are running, then it is in your LCD. Call the tech support, and describe it to them, they'll have you do some basic troubleshooting, as...

The flap is a grounding connection. I doubt you hurt the inverter by forgetting it. I do think thtat a bad inverter was caused by something else, and it either fried or shut down the new inverter....

1) hook up an external monitor the the blue port (vga port)
2) boot up laptop
3) after bootup, hit <Fn F7> at the same time, pause 2 seconds, hit again, repeat 3 times.

If there is no video on...

Well now, let's see what the dog dragged in. dig dig dig dig...nope not this one dig dig dig dig....snif snif..whew, not that one....Hmmm...old card, need old bone for this one.......dig dig dig...

RMA is the way. Your LCD screen is going flaky. (OH NO ITS GOT DANDRUFF) Good luck with the warranty-you-musta-done-somfin-wrong-so-it's-not covered-department. Pleae give a repost when you know.
