Laptop screen stays black with mouse cursor only after HP and Windows logo comes up

[Mistu4u]

Hi all,

My laptop model no is HP Pavillion dv6 1337tx. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. So today I shut my laptop down forcibly pressing the power button as it was not responding for that time. So the next time I switched it on this erroneous problem started. Everytime I switched it on the HP logo comes and then the Windows logo also comes. But then the screen stays black and only the mouse cursor is seen. So what can be the cause of this problem? I also tried to open with "safe mode" and "safe mode with command prompt", but they did not help either.

Note- I already tried the discharging method after taking off the battery and holding down the power button. It could not help. All LED's are working fine. I have no extra monitor, so I cannot check the display elsewhere. Also I ran all the memory tests which shown everything is fine. Please suggest what can I do now as I cannot enter the laptop now. What can be the reason?

Hi gilmer, welcome to the HP Forums. Based on your other post on this topic, I know you have a G6 running Windows 7x64. I will use the "HP Pavilion g6-1a69us" as a reference model, without knowing your exact model number.

i have the same problem after i choose the option "update and shutdown". Further inf: i choose that option and let my notebook do it, then after 3 hours, i turn my laptop on, then it happen just like the topic say, only the screen flashing repeatly.

My notebook is Pavilion M4-1001TX, windows 8 64bit premium, serial "[Personal Information Removed]", PRODUCT NO. "D7N95PA#UUF". 

I dont even know that update windows will cause this anoying problem, so bravo to the microsoft clap clap.

I have some important files that i dont wanna lose them, can anyone fix it or have any idea please :((

I put in the rescue cd which i already had but nothing happened... the screen still stayed black with only the cursor being visible. how do i click repair computer and so on... there is nothing happening. How do i give it commands? Shouldn't it load the cd and show out something??

Insert the Rescue CD and restart your laptop. Immediately after starting up- tap the Esc key, then at the menu tap F9 Boot Options. Use the arrow key to move down and highlight CD/DVD drive, then tap Enter key.

Will using the rescue CD wipe out my files?

@pianogma 

You should not lose files following the instructions for the process. Of course, there is always a slight risk with anything.
