Problem: black screen

Comments: I hear and see the fan is running. I have hooked up external monitor and it is also a black screen. I have completed several hard resets but no results. 

 

What are the possible problems? What are the fixes?

Hi

When do you usually get the "Black screen"? After logging in? Does it came with a white cursor?

If YES try these steps:

Press Ctrl+Shift+ESC to launch Task Manager or Ctrl+Alt+Del

Click File

Click Run

Type msconfig. System Configuration Utility will show up

Click Service

Uncheck App Readiness then click apply

Restart the computer

 

After the restart download the softpaq to permanently fix black screen

For HP.com , the softpaq was released as “HP Image Enhancement for System Logon” and could be found under the “Software-Solutions” category.  Below is the reference link to download SP81965 for Kerberos 1.1:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-spectre-15-bl100-x360-convertible-pc/16779592

 

Or you could open HP Support Assistant app and look for updates and look for “HP Image Enhancement for System Logon” and install it.

 

After installing the Softpaq. Go back to msconfig then put a check mark to App Readiness App then click apply and okay.

Hi,

 

Thank you for further explaining whats going on. Have you tried running diagnostics? If not then boot your computer to start menu by shutting down the computer completely.

 

Press and hold down ESC then tap power button once

A Pop up window should appear (Start Menu)

Select F2 using arrow keys or F2 button

Run System test > Extensive Test > Run Once


Normally extensive test will run for 3-4 hours. Make sure the charger is connected during diagnostics

Please keep us posted.

 

Regards,

ichi

Performing Bios recovery

 

Note: Make sure the computer is completely turned off

 

Step 1

Press and hold down Windows+B then press and hold Power button for 5 secs then release it but keep on hold down Windows+B

Wait for 1 minute

-If something shows up on the screen just wait until the computer restarted

-If not move to the next step

Wait for 1 minute

-If something shows up on the screen just wait until the computer restarted

Step 3

Please follow Step 1

-If something comes up wait for it

-If not. Its time to send your computer for repair. Probably a mobo issue
