    Toshiba A105 turns on, screen stays black

    Ok hopefully someone here can help quickly! I got a Toshiba A105 from my mom's friend who wanted me to check if it had a wireless card and then figure out why she had no internet, simple enough so I said sure. Anyway, turned the laptop on with any issues, no wireless detected so turned off and removed keyboard to look for the card. Long story short went to turn laptop back on and got power but a completely black screen. Tried unplugging and holding power button, tried re-seating memory but nothing. Kind of freaking out as this is supposed to be fixed by tomorrow. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    When you have removed the keyboard have you displaced the lead to the screen.
    Can you test with an external monitor.

      Tested with external monitor and got a no sync error message, tried again holding FN and F5 keys still no sync message. I know the external monitor works since I just used it with another laptop.

      Update: Works on external monitor so but not on laptop still, so wtf? The laptop worked just a few hours ago, about to lose my mind...lol

        Not looking good can only suggest unplugging and reseating the panel connector
        shown in Step 15 in here http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptop...herboard-2.htm.

        If it is not a separate graphics card it looks like a motherboard fault. Check you havent dropped any screws inside.

          when you removed the keyboard strip where the video panel connection is, may have unwittingly scraped or dislodged the cable check for damage and unplug it and reseat it carefully without bending those tiny pins.....

            Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
            by HTR-Informatique
            Hello,

            YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

            I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

            On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

            I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

            I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

            I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

            Problem

            This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

            iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
            by smic717394
            Hi,

            I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

When the black screen appeared, my legion 5 pro was connected to my external monitor...

            by DaniK

            I have this strange behaviour with Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH, i5 6200U, intel graphics, DA0ZRWMB6G0 Rev G, model ZRW.
            Laptop came in for a SSD upgrade, took everything apart to install the SSD.
            Everything started after modifying BIOS settings to boot UEFI instead of Legacy.
            Laptop works fine, i installed windows 10 and drivers/updates, everything works ok(when it works)
            The black screen problem is random, maybe 5 out 10 times, laptop remains with the black screen, no image

            Symptoms are:
            - random black screen after displaying Acer logo...
