    black screen now hard disc/boot failure


    Partner bought me a Lenovo Ipad320 just over a year a This was seldom used, the odd internet search and some Microsoft online games, solitaire etc to wind down. I'd go off to make a cup of tea come back and the screen would be black and it would seem to have gone in to 'hibernation'. Often it would come back up and you'd have to force a shut down from the power button and start back up from scratch.


    Eventually I got so fed up of restarting it, I contacted Lenovo one day when I couldn't get it to restart and the power completely went. Support suggested a NOVO button on the side which eventually allowed me to start it up.


    The black screen kept happening, I changed the screen settings to prevent it hibernating selecting 2 hours, but again, often I'd pop off to get a drink, do some washing, little things of less than 20 mins and I'd come back to a black screen and have to completely reboot.


    A few weeks back the screen went black again one Saturday morning and wouldn't come back on even after rebooting. I tried leaving it to run the battery down and then fully recharge it, still nothing. Tried the NOVO button again (as previously suggested by Lenovo support) still nothing. Eventually after looking online I tried connecting the laptop to our desktop monitor as some posts had suggested it may be the display. Voila, a greyish black screen and eventually the Lenovo logo and then..... c:\ drive repair recovery 0%.... This eventually got to 100% after about 7 hours and I just happened to be passing the computer as it hit 100% and saw it go straight to 0 and start again, and again


    I contacted Lenovo who suggested a static discharge and then a system reboot via the NOVO button. Nothing worked. They offered to take look, so I sent it off to them only to discover it needs a main board and HDD according to the £402 repair estimate Lenovo have sent me as they state they can't repair it as its out of warranty now.


    Have never had problems with our desktop (over 20 years old) nor my work Dell which is Windows 10. Whilst I can turn on and operate a computer, I have no technical knowledge whatsoever so when the problem initially occurred I relied on Lenovo support's knowledge. Was the repeated black screen problem a sign it was faulty at the outset or just plain bad luck when it went off one day and the whole laptop failed?


    As the repair estimate is more than it cost new, was thinking of just getting a new machine as have lost all faith in this one. Any advice?

    :)

    Windows 10 Start up black screen with a disc 0 seek failure

    problem started several days ago when my PC went to a black DELL bios screen with the F2 and F12 options but wouldn't proceed to the sign-in screen automatically as it normally did. After playing around with setup & then resorting to cont-alt-del I got
    a black screen with a disc 0 seek failure. I made some suggested changes to the boot sequence and now get a normal start-up sequence except for a 20 sec black screen with a message in upper left corner: 1D 09 7A 79 21 GU1D: 44454C4C 3000 104D 8052 B1C045434631;
    then it goes to the normal sign-in screen. What's up??

    Black Screen after Log on


    So this is not a BSOD ? Have a Windows 10 disc or USB Flash Drive made ? How are you getting to task manager Ctrl.+Alt+Del ? Any cursor on screen ?
