Hi guys
My laptop lenovo g510 os having a no display problem
It was working well till this evening but when i tried to boot it a few hours back, it had no display
Its working well with a tv via a hdmi cable

But no display on the laptop screen
Please advise guys

If you can't even see the booting / bios screen then you need to service it.

Can someone elaborate on this : *www.youtube.com/watch?v=in2RYwjWFyA ?




P.S. : Maybe wrong thread

not wrong thread i guess since its a laptop related query,
the issue with the concept is that very few laptops have an easily usable esata port and the rest of the hardware might bottleneck also since its got open parts,risk of shock is very high i guess
if you want a better example of a similiar concept check out alienware 13 and its graphics accelerator,though clunky,it might actually be one of the first practical ways of doing this(Mac's thunderbolt method doesnt count because it never went fully public and it had a bunch of issues)

could be an issue with the display ribbon
maybe its loose,maybe its broken or needs replacement
if its in warranty,you should get it to the service centre
if not in warranty,you can try DIY but its highly risky and its safer to go through a service centre

Guys i have an issue with my laptop again(inspiron 15r turbo) ,i just had the display changed 3 weeks ago and now it again gives 8 beeps with coloured lines on the screen when powered on,if turn it off and on again,it takes me 3 tries to power on the laptop and then its fine again
these beeps appear randomly when its powered on (no bsod,no errors,no random shut down etc),theres no knowing when it will occur again from cold boot
so my question is- is it my display again(its a brand new,3 week old display) or is it the lcd ribbon this time??
pls help me out,i tried googling the problem but none of the results match my problem
the results have total gpu/black screen etc errors whereas mine is working fine otherwise so im left wondering if its the lcd ribbon

My HP Pavilion G6 when booting up shows an error screen saying a cooling fan is not operating correctly. I called HP and they said it's probably BIOS, but they cant help since I installed an unsupported OS(win 7). Any idea if its a BIOS problem or a dust problem?

I wasnt sure of whether to post here or bump the Pavilion G6 thread.

Most probably its a fault of connector/ribbon because 8 beeps means LCD problem and as your screen is working fine , it points to faulty ribbon

My laptop battery has been overcharged(electric line connected)for nearly 3.5hrs. more time ,will it be any issue for the laptop battery life?
Will the laptop suffer from any issues?
This was the 1st time it happened.

no not at all
all modern laptops have a Li-ion battery which is designed to prevent overcharging
once it reaches 100%,itll automatically adjust itself and reduce charge and charge again-back and forth so it doesnt do any harm
ive been overcharging all my laptops for a long time now,even my oldest laptop,my vaio,is still fine 9-10 years later

Once it gets full, the battery is disconnected and the laptop switches to AC power. IMO use it on AC power always and on batteries if AC power isn't available to prolong battery life.

That doesn't happen unless that setting is turned on.

Yep keeping the battery at 100% will reduce its health. Turn on the desktop mode option in Dell or Battery Health option in Lenovo. Other brand laptops have such settings too.

I have seen damage of upto 10% when overcharged laptops are displayed at Official stores.

I don't think that happens.

If you guys dont keep moving around with the laptop, just remove the battery and be on AC power full time. If you plan on doing this for a long time, I would suggest a full charge-discharge cycle every 2-4 weeks.

You'll lose work if you don't have an ups.

My laptop is on the 50-60% battery setting mode. It stays plugged in all the time. It runs 24/7. Battery plugged in all the time. It's overclocked to extreme levels with temps in 80s range. Yet my battery wear is just 1% in 2 years. I don't do this charging discharging every 2 weeks.

Thanks for the assurance,Friend.

Thank you friend again for a reassurance.
Seems it happns in my DELL Inspiron 15 5447.
Since the battery indicator glows for upto 100% full charge,but then the indicator glow switches off after full charge.
So there must be a circuit breaker for protecting the battery from beyond overcharge.

Thanks ,brother for this fact,which had been discussed under a previous section/thread on this @TDF.
The DELL Laptop does have change of Battery configs. under System UEFI BIOS(Customise the Battery settings) as well as under Windows-8.1
Since I had prepared this Laptop as a Dual Boot OS mode(Windows-8.1 + Mint Linux-17.1; erased the openSUSE-13.2 that I had installed previously a couple of months back),isin't it useful to change settings from within the BIOS?
What is your say brother,regarding this aspect?

P.S. My brother if I had hurt you earlier due to some flame war on some topic,I am extremely sorry. I regret and feel remorse on building up such aggravating situation.
I never intend to subdue or supress anybody's feelings,expressions or opinions.It is the difference of opinions,albeit by a healthier way,that I had learned a great deal from you folks who are already into geekdom.Let us forget the past and tread along on this extreme caring and learning platform for our better stable future + prospects. No Hard Feelings ,Brother.

It was discussed? Gee, I don't even remember.
IDK about BIOS settings, I haven't checked yet but it sure is present in the Dell install of Windows.

Yes you are correct,it is present in DELL install of Windows.
It is also present within the UEFI settings of the BIOS,where an user can change the settings of battery configuration through customised settings.

This setting prevents calibration of the battery however. Change this setting in the bios only after calibrating the battery.
