What is the proper way to open a laptop lid?

Why laptop screen goes black?

• ... Processor blinks for 3 times along with the DVD player... then it stop... but the light of the turn on button is lit... I've found a site that says you have to take out battery and unplug your wire. Press the On button for 30 to 60 seconds. It worked for 2 times. Now When I came home someone closed the lid and the solution above wont work! I've tried so many times! 1) Why Laptop screen goes black? What it has to do with closing the lid? 2) Is there anyway to fix it? to prevent it further? Sometimes screen goes bad when I open the lid and turned it on. 3) What are the laptop that is strong LCD? When I close and open the lid often it wont cause damage? Can you give a laptop from most affordable to high price but strong? acer 4520 AMD 14in How can I download whents black? as if its not working! I cant access bio... I cant there's no way I can. maybe due to overheat that cause my laptop sometimes to shutdown suddenly... ou gotta help me with this When the electricfan is not facing my laptop then it overheat... so intense sometiemes... This one worked 2 times... but now I've tried it so many times and nothing happen... This is where did I get the first solution which soon didnt work... it worked twice but after that nothing happen... I had the same problem with my HP DV6599. On power on the screen would stay black, no POST, nothing at all on the display. The HDD would spin up but the HDD indicator would not come on and would not boot. The DVD drive would spin up and attempt to read a disc if one was in the tray but still would not boot. I found an answer on another forum. Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot. It worked for me! Just shutdown, put the battery back in you're good to go. Worked for me so definitely worth a try. http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-24155…

• Answer:

  If laptop appears powering ON but screen is black, try shining a flashlight on the screen. If you can see a faint image, it is the backlight or its switch that has a problem. Closing the lid hits the backlight switch. You may need professional help to repair the backlight. If there is no faint image on the screen, laptop is not booting at all. You may have a problem with the motherboard.
