Blank Screen - Oh not again

The trouble with a blank screen is obvious. You cannot see anything.

Never the less press the Windows Key + R. This brings up the run command page

Worry not even if you cannot see it, it is there.

Type, without the quotes, “cmd”.

This brings up a command prompt chevron in DOS.

Now hold down Alt and press Enter

This throws up the full screen mode; putting your display into what is known as “text only” mode.

If you are only experiencing a minor glitch, this should reset your video, which will allow you to go back to work.

Next type “Exit” to leave the command prompt.

Try this trick a couple of times before giving up.
