Hi ednewmy...


What recommendations ?? have you tried.


Black screen with Blinking cursor is not the worse scenario.


It suggests your PC is alive..


Some causes of a black screen are incorrect shutdown of your computer,

not waking from sleep mode.


Try booting in safe mode. then perform a Clean Shutdown. then reboot.


Obvious things to do would be insure you have no external devices connected to your PC.

Check you that there is no disc left in your CD drive.

If you bios is set to boot from CD as first option this could cause your problem..

Hello Ednewmy,


I've used this chap in the past and he excellent. Paul at Databugs. The link is here : http://databugs.co.uk/ or on 0207 701 6077.

I'm not sure if he repairs on Sundays but he certainly accepts calls. I, and many friends, have used him and he is speedy, conscientious and very reasonably priced.


Hope your computer gets better soon. I know that feeling!

Thanks to all who replied here and PM'ed me. Unfortunately I cannot reply to PMs using my phone - it is a conplete nightmare. I found somewhere open on a sunday and it is currently being repaired. Hopefully it should be done today...hopefully! If they do a good jpb I will recommend them on here. Their quoted price is very reasonable so far and so long as there are no hidden extras!

    • I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community.
    • Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items. 
    • Are the parcel services organised by the local sorting office? We always notice parcels delivered by the vans are delivered on time but those that come via the postie can be unpredictable and we often get a "you were not in" when no-one even attempted delivery.
    • Yes, this thread has got weird.
