    Laptop Switched Off, Screen Black, but Inside HDD or CPU still On


    Hello Everybody,

    This topic i.e. "Laptop Switched Off but Inside HDD or CPU still On" is on the internet in almost all forums and i have browsed and surfed 50 of the key ones but none have offered a proper solution or maybe it is not working for my laptop.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 3542 Laptop with a Core i5 CPU, Nvidia Ge Froce graphic card and 4 GB Ram. It came with preinstalled windows 8.1 64 bit OS which was upgraded to windows 10 64 bit OS.

    The issue has started after the upgrade to windows 10.

    Even after switching off the laptop, the screen goes black but inside the laptop either the HDD or CPU or something remains on. I formatted and did a clean install and installed all DELL drivers in the perfect order.... No change! The problem still persists. i have the latest Bios as Dell drivers check.

    I am posting this here with a hope that somebody may have found a solution to this problem.

    Please help.

    Thanks. Mehta

    :)

    I think I might not have explained my position here correctly. Although the CPU of my laptop is working but the screen is as if it is switched
    off. Just black. So I am not able to see anything.As visible in the image the laptop is on but the screen is completely black. I hope this helps.

  3. Black screen on boot windows 10

    Yesterday i updated my laptop - ACER ASPIRE V3- 471G . it already had windows 10 so this was some update to the same. I switched off my laptop and onve i got back home it wouldnt start up normally. All i get is a black screen. No cursor. No hdd. Nothing.
    No sound as well.

    I tried the solutions from other forums such as connecting a monitor but that didnt help either.

    I've a NVIDIA 630M . there is no bootup logo. Just black screen. Is there a way outof this!?

    Some device or application keeps Windows busy and cannot fully shutdown. Visit the BSOD section to see how you can post a system report so we can analyze it and find the problem.
