When your laptop doesn't display, the first to take note of is the caplock button or caplock light, if it is blinking or if you press the caplock button does it respond normal i.e off and on?

When the caplock respond well, then your laptop motherboard is running well and everything is in good condition then all you have to do check flex or signal cable.

Which means you shouldn't have change screen, you should have change the Ram first, then processor before checking PCH /ICH, GMCH or VGA.

this ones need multimeter or DSO (oscilloscope) to check and you much have knowledge of schematic reading and how to repair.

Back to the main koko.

First of all check your ram, replace with another RAM to see, then check the processor if it is getting hot or not after powering it on.

You said I should help so I'm telling you what to do grin

If it is on board processor, you need to check voltage and signal with DSO, multimeter.
If processor is short you need an infrared BGA rework Station to replace it grin the machine cost over #200k grin

Before that you need to check Vcore sections and signal from SIO. grin

OK let me stop here, just change ram first, and change processor if no solution, just take it to a good engineer. Shikina

Hello...

Errors 0x0...7b and 0x00...5 can be really frustrating!

Oh, you expected me to type all those zeros abi? Who you wan stress grin grin

The following article was lifted (yes, I lifted it, any editing will dilute the juice cheesy) from techcrises.com

Error code 0xc000007b means INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT , and generally occurs due to absence or damage of some system or application files. The most common cause of this error – problems with NVIDIA drivers, other video cards are also subject to look at.

However, there may be other reasons for this error: interrupted installation of updates, incorrect shutdown of the computer or deletion of programs directly from the installation folder. In addition, the error can be related with some damage in the files of the following programs: Microsoft Visual C++, Direct X and .NET Framework.

So let’s start with the methods to fix error code 0xc000007b in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10.

Methods to Fix Error 0xc000007b in Windows 7, 8.1, 10

Here are some methods to test one by one. Before trying them, don’t forget to check your system with any antivirus as sometimes this is due to some virus in your computer.

Method 1 . Update your NVIDIA video card drivers

The first action we would recommend before performing any others – to update the drivers for your video card, especially if it’s NVIDIA. Go to the official website of the manufacturer of your computer or laptop or just on the site nvidia.com and find the needed driver for your video card.

Download them, install and restart the computer. It is very likely that the error will disappear after that.

Method 2 : Running The Application as an Administrator

Try to start the game/application as Administrator. For example, in GTA, this in some cases helps to fix the error. Follow the instructions:

Right click on the application .exe file;
Click on the option Run as administrator.

Method 3 : Re-install The Application

This method is simply but it is helpful for a lot of people who had this problem. All you have to do is to re-install the application in which you are having this problem.

Uninstall the application from Control Panel.
Restart Windows.
Re-install the application from original disk/image.

Re-install other system applications that can cause this error (like DirectX, Visual C++ and .Net Framework). Download and install the latest version of this apps from official Microsoft website.

Note . When installing DirectX, it is necessary to go to the system folder SysWOW64 or System32 (depending on the OS version) and delete the files starting from d3dx9_24.dll and to d3dx9_43.dll. After that, install DirectX.

Method 4 : Try to run application using the compatibility mode

Sometime the application you are using is not compatible with your system. To fix this issue you have to try run these apps in compatibility mode. This is basically effective for the games which requires high system configuration like Fifa, Far Cry, Assassins Creed, Call of Duty and many others.

Run Application in Compatibility Mode :

Right click on Application icon –> Click on Properties;
Click on Compatibility tab;
Check-up the box named Run this program in compatibility mode for;
In the drop-down menu select an earlier version of Windows;
Click Apply, and then OK.

Check NTFS Application Permission :

Open Application installation folder. Open C:\Program Files (x86)\[Apps Folder]
Right click Application folder –> Click on Properties;
Click Security tab;
Check-up Full control. Check the checkbox inside the Allow column;
Click Apply, and then OK.

Method 5 : Check system files integrity

Check the integrity of the system files. To do this, open the command line with administrator privileges and execute the command:

sfc /scannow


With this command, Windows will scan system files and fix some errors.

If you receive an error Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files, run the following commands:

dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Method 6 : Check Your Hard Disk for errors

The cause of the error can be a corruption in the logical structure of the file system or physical damage to the disk and can be resolved by checking your hard disk.

Run Command prompt as administrator ;

Search for the cmd.exe in the search bar:

For Windows 7,10 – Click on the Start Button in the left bottom corner and type cmd.exe in the search bar.

For Windows 8.1 – Press the .Search key and type cmd.exe .
Right Click on the cmd.exe and click on Run as administrator;

Type chkdsk c: /f /r and press Enter.
It your Windows is installed on C:\ drive then it will ask you to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts;

Type Y and press Enter.

Now when you restart the Windows it will check the disk during system reboot.

Method 7 : Check and fix dll dependencies with Dependency Walker

In the event that the error is related to the error 0xc000007b when starting the game, it is worth trying to study the dependent files of the game using the utility Dependency Walker.

Download and unpack the Dependency Walker x64 from the official website http://www.dependencywalker.com/ ;

Run Dependency Walker, press File -> Open and select the problem game .exe file (not a shortcut);

In the Module section, find the red error messages;
Select problem dlls and look at the cause of the error;
If the error is Error opened file. The system cannot find the file specified …, so the problem is that this library is missing;

Try to find the appropriate dll files on the dll-files.com and put the downloaded files in the root folder with the game or in the C:\Windows\system32 folder;

Now you are done! This will fix Error 0xc000007b in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My one kobo.
Things could get a bit messy along the line especially if you're not the geeky type. So be sure you know what you're doing else give to someone who does!

If all else fail, then a clean install of your OS is the next thing to do... Thereafter install a good Antivirus.

Explain what you mean by you tried another screen. You connected the vga port to an external monitor? If yes then your friend might be right that it's a motherboard problem. Looks like onboard VGA is dancing death dance

Hello there
Pretty obvious! Change the charger. Make sure the rating on the charger is same as that on the laptop (check the bottom part of the laptop, you'll see something like 19v,3.4 - yours might be different)

He didn't say you should check it, he said change the charger.

Some times, a faulty charger can make the system to hang, go to where they sell charger, test it and see if it is working fine good if no give it back or if you have someone using Toshiba 19v test it with your laptop.

There's this software she can use to remove password but doesn't work all the time, another way is to reload the operating system.

Reinstall another operating system, the old one will move to Windows old, there she can get back all her files except applications.
