Black screen/flash cannot see anything

mike6623 · 17 Apr 2014

Where I work, I am running win 7 pro on a Lenovo R61i. When I turn on the laptop, the - blinks then there is a quick flash, to where I could almost see where it asks to start windows normally, litterally for less than a 1/10th of a second. I can see the starting mocorosoft again, for less than a secod. Then black. When I try to boot to any disk, cannot see. Which options are there to see the screen to be able to troubleshoot? All of the things I see require you to actually be looking at the screen, which is the exact opposite of what I Can do.

Also, it shows nothing when connected with VGA

Again, I am unable to see anything, so telling me to do a repair, go to safemode, etc isnt possible!

Unfortunately, unless you feel comfortable taking your laptop apart, there is little we can do here. Your graphics card is most likely fried or a wire has become loose. They usually have guides on youtube on how to take a laptop apart and look for anything that is causing the issue. But when it comes to a laptop, it's usually best to Contact your manufacturer.
