It is not totally blank, meaning that you can see some images if you look closer?

If so, it sounds like an issue with the inverter or backlight lamp -- faulty device or broken connection.


otabuko:

What operating system is your PC running?

What was the last thing you did on the PC before the issue started?

- Try restoring BIOS defaults: Reboot the computer and just as soon as it starts to boot, press the appropriate key to enter BIOS setup. It's usually f2 or f10. You have to be very quick to press the key or you might miss it.

In BIOS setup, go to the exit tab and restore BIOS defaults. Save changes and exit.

- Try entering your via the on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard?

If the issue persists, let me know and I'll guide you further.

If you are upgrading, you will not lose your files. Nonetheless, it is advisable to backup your important docs.

Good morning.

Your final option is to remove or by the . You can use a third-party program like

It's pretty straight-forward. Just carefully follow the guide. If you can't do it on your own, get a tech-savvy person near you to help or visit a computer repair shop.

Whether you are doing a clean install or an in-place upgrade, backup your important docs still.

Get a flash drive or something.

You can also shrink your hard drive to extract some free space and then use it to create a data partition where you can move your important docs. Thereafter, you can reformat the main partition.

Thanks to you, I have copied out my important files. But I think I landed my self into another gbese.

I followed a link on how to hack forgotten windows 7 and I mistakenly deleted my system32 in the process.

Do u think it's going to affect the system and how can I retrieve it?

Currently I'm contemplating formating the whole system since I've retrieved my important document.
