wtf my laptop's screen just went blank
 

so im in the middle of fuckin with photoshop, and all of sudden my screen goes blank. i had to manually shut it down then reboot it and all is fine now but that was scary.

just fuckin bought this thing on Monday. wtf causes that happen? :disgust :error :helpme

was windows/linux already installed when you got it ?

i always format new computers/laptops when i get it because i've expierienced that there is so much crap installed that makes its slow or causes failures.


pray to god its no hardware failure.


btw you can go on doing the same with me you did with photoshop :winkwink:

omg

im hard now

LOL hey babyyyy, whatcha wearing? :winkwink: hehe

if its a hardware failure, i dont care. my warranty covers all hardware plus its within Dells 21 day guarentee thingy so im double covered. (and everything i have on here, i have backed up).

you're right about the so much crap installed. took me about a day to just uninstall & re-configure shit on here. they had everything from 50 "sample" mp3's to AOL crap. :disgust winxp was installed when i got it.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

im wearing my donald duck socks at the moment....



i had a problem with my new fujitsu siemens laptop too. the wxga display showed a slim white line on the left side of the screen.

but siemes had a driver from the postal office coming to me and he brought it to them and 5days later i got it again. This is a pretty nice service allthough it sucks being without your laptop for 5 days

i wanna know what would cuz it though. too many applications? overheating? cuz it wanted to? lol wtffffffffff :(

me and my cat, Tiger, are waiting patiently for an answer...

there is no key-combination to shut down the screen manually ? (lol happened to me once when i was working an i almost got a heart attack :1orglaugh)

its FN-f4 at my laptop.


did you change the angle of the screen ? if it happened after this maybe the cable between motherboard and display is broken

manually: i had to hold down the On button for 10 sec's

naww i was making a header in PS and then boom......*screen went blank*
why do pc/laptop problems always happen when im in the middle of designs :mad:

my machines are out to get me :(

cool

maybe they could chill together

Babagirls the laptop I used to have did that sometimes and it always seemed to happen when I had ICQ on! I doubt it's something that simple for you, but you never know. I uninstalled iCQ on the laptop and never had a problem with it going blank or shutting down like that again.

that's weird...

never heard of a simple software like icq causing so much trouble

this was the first time since i got the laptop and intstalled PS on it, that i used it. im thinking maybe its something to do with PS...

i had a ton of applications running/open too. i dunno. ::shrugs::

Gangbangjoe: Cute cat :)

it's my gf's cat and i love her (both, my gf and the cat [female] :winkwink:)


i just icqed a friend of mine (he has a computer parts shop and knows a lot) about your problem.

i will tell you when he answered

thanks!!! :thumbsup
feel free to add me to your icq
(i'll boot it up...)

What are the settings in control panel for power options if you can see the screen?

Or you are saying even when you turn it on now you see no screen?

earlier i fucked with the hibernation settings..will it hibernate even if im using it??

I think it may have to do with something like that; could b. Check out those hibernation settings also if you are plugged into the wall i would put the power settings for the laptop to run as always on.

okay, i just changed them (to never hibernate). maybe thats all it was. :) im hoping!!!
thanks for the help! :thumbsup

Also in power settings in control panel what is it set as there?

thats where i originally changed them actually (in the Screensaver section then hit POWER)

for some reason now, when i hit my Volume and Down keys, the little box showing the audio going up or down doesnt pop up. but the volume keys still work. the box just doesnt pop up. any clue on how to fix that? lol

:error

is that an Inspiron 6000?

yaa

you like the widescreen? I love mine, had it about 8 months now

omg YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! :thumbsup

i love it more than i did when i was fuckin around at the Dell store lol
i watched "American Beauty" on it last night (first time watchin a movie on it) and loved it!! :thumbsup

i love how it feels like im working with so much more space.
:pimp

I always have to switch over to my dell 19 inch regular flat panel to make sure shit is looking correctly after designing. The quality of the monitor for the price of the laptop is awesome.

LOL yea
i pulled up some old freesites and galleries that were built for 800x600 res and some looked good and a few looked shitty as hell LOL gotta be careful with the designs now hehe :winkwink:
