@all me again �, I have a weird issue with a remote laptop that was given to Golam, it was working fine, but suddenly he could not see the screen anymore on his end, I am able to connect to the pc, but I cannot control it or see anything unless I enable the "blank screen" option in logmein. I tried applying updates for the video drivers, windows, restarted multiple times, hard reboot. but same behavior, he can see the dell spinning logo, but after that, he sees nothing, no other screen is attached on his end, has anyone encountered something similar? lol

even if I am not connected at all, he cannot see anything after the Dell screen, but the pc can still be reached remotely via lmi

Which model is that laptop? there's an FN option to disable the screen on some laptops

Tech B 2025-01-14 16:55

Maybe is that

Tech C 2025-01-14 16:55

all these laptops are refurbished... just saying... 🙂

Tech A 2025-01-14 16:58

its a Precision 7550, and did not know there would be an FN function to disable the screen, what good would that do lol

Tech B 2025-01-14 16:59

Maybe FN + F5 - F8 ?

The image shows a full-size black external keyboard with a UK/European layout, identifiable by the presence of a **€ symbol on the 4 key**, an **@ symbol on the apostrophe key**, and a **# symbol on the key to the right of L**, consistent with a British keyboard layout. A **numeric keypad** is present on the right side, with standard numpad arrangement including Num Lock, and function keys F1–F12 are visible along the top row with secondary media/system functions labeled. No visible physical damage, missing keycaps, indicator lights, model labels, part numbers, or serial numbers are apparent in this image.

after reading several forums it seems to be a common issue with this particular laptop, I'll will try that, among other things, and will see how it goes lol

# Fix Dell Precision 7550 blank screen after boot logo

## Problem
A Dell Precision 7550 laptop displays the Dell boot logo normally but shows a blank screen afterward. The user cannot see anything on the local display after the boot sequence completes. However, the system remains accessible via LogMeIn remote access, and the screen becomes visible when using LogMeIn's "blank screen" option. Standard troubleshooting including video driver updates, Windows updates, and multiple restarts did not resolve the issue.

## Resolution
This appears to be a known issue with the Dell Precision 7550 model. Try the following function key combinations to re-enable the display:

1. Press **Fn + F5** through **Fn + F8** to cycle through display output options
2. Test each combination as some Dell laptops have function keys that can disable the internal screen
3. If the above doesn't work, research Dell Precision 7550-specific display issues as this is documented as a common problem with this particular model

The issue may be related to the laptop's display output configuration being inadvertently changed to an external display mode or having the internal display disabled via function key shortcuts.
