    Display gone dark


    My Lenovo Z500 updated to W10 and the display is now dark and hardly readable. If you press the up/down keys for display the little control pops up on the screen - the bar moves up and down but the screen remains dark and does not vary. In device manager there are two drivers - Intel HD Graphics 4000 and Nvidia GE Force GT635M. I have removed/uninstalled both and reinstalled from downloads from the Intel and Nvidia sites direct, rebooted and nothing changed.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Mike

    lumia 520 goes to lockscreen inadvertently

    Next time if this happens, just wait a little longer to see if the display comes back. When you press the side (power) button what happens is even if the display is not actually locked but has gone dark ( as something is taking a bit longer to launch) it
    gets locked.

    HELP Lumia 1520 Display Problems

    Hi All,

    I was wondering if anyone has had the problem where their 1520 Display had just gone DARK. I cannot see anything or do anthing on the phone. When i press the power button the navigation buttons light up but the main screen stays DARK like its powered off.
    I have soft reset it.

    any help would be great.

    Happy Nerw Year.

    thanks,

    S

    Display gone dark

    In action centre is there a display setting which may or may not override the buttons? Mine does. On mine I can set the brightness to 0 if I should wish as the screen has a backlight which is seperate from the brightness setting.

    Interesting - I didn't know about "action centre" but in there I found "Display" settings which are set to maximum brightness, so it's not that sadly. I didn't see a "back light" setting anywhere - which section is it in? Maybe it's not in mine but I'll take a look.
    thanks

    On my laptop it's a button which turns off/on the screen back light. If your device isn't a laptop then this'll not apply to your problem.
    Do you have a different screen - say a TV with PC connectors - which you can check the device with to rule out a monitor problem?
