My computer will turn on but the screen is black

Assuming that this is a laptop, it could be a variety of things. I know that at least with a desktop, no screen activity during startup is a sign that the motherboard might be dead. I don't want to rush you into a panic, but I can tell you that the problem most likely has nothing to do with the adapter. Are you still getting sound? How old is the laptop?

probably is the motherboard, or the laptop was hibernate mode to long ( usually starts slower than usual)

It could potentially be that your motherboard has failed as well. Does it work plugged in?

I think something is wrong with the installation. Mine worked straight away, try re installing the screen allover.

I would suggest contacting Tech Support. All the computers I have ordered from Amazon have work straight out of the box. I am sorry I cannot offer a better solution.

try disconnecting the power, remove the battery , then replace the battery and the power , restart and if it does start call dell and have them remotely check out your laptop

Restart your computer and repeatedly press F8 while you turn it on. This should bring you to some menu. Press system restore restore back to the date it worked. I had the same problem and this advice worked for me.

Is there a disk stuck in it? Try unplugging it for a moment and plug back in.

You probubly have a power supply that floats gnd. turn off the computer and the power switch. After this when u turn on the systems should be ok.

If the power cord connections are all tight, and the outlet it's plugged into works, it should turn on. Possibly you got a defective one.

Above and to the right of the display board (on the main board), look for a black capacitor (black round disk). I've had that blow twice already, and just replacing that fixes the system.

Have you tried a new power supply? Mine stopped working suddenly as well. Power supply did the trick.

Make sure your PC is up-to-date. Remove software and reinstall. Restart computer

You need to have a video signal to make the screen come on. Without a signal the screen won't do anything.

Try disconnecting power supply and reconnecting. if that does not work, I would return as defective due to internal circuitry failure

Well...it could be your battery. Try using the plug after removing the battery from it and if the laptop comes on, its definitely your battery!!
