My Palm Pre will not turn on!

Hello everyone, I'm having some phone issues. I went to sleep last night with my phone near me.  When I got up, I went to check it and it wouldn't turn on. I pressed power...I held power...I did the switching of the vibration button and no luck. I tried to call my own phone to see if it rings and nothing. I then resorted to taking out the battery.  I immediately thought it could be dead, so I have been charging it for over an hour and it still won't turn on last I checked. Any advice on what to do? What are my options here? Does anyone know the manufacturer's warranty details?
Thanks for looking.
FYI: In case it makes a difference, I want to add that the phone is in great physical condition...never dropped on the floor or into water. Nothing out of the ordinary was done to it today either.

Have you tried another battery? Go to the Sprint store and see if they have a battery to try and see if your's may be defective.
Another thing you can try is to put a "shim" on the opposite side of the battery to put pressure on the battery contacts in the battery compartment. There were some batteries that were sent out that were slightly smaller than the battery compartment.
You have a 1 year warranty on the PRE from the date of purchase. Call 877-426-3777 to setup a repair through Palm.

  • Palm Pre will not sync with EAS on Exchange 2010

    I looked through the large EAS thread with the error "Unable to validate incoming server settings."  Tried all of these issues and none have worked for me. 
    Exchange version is Exchange 2010 running on Server 2008 R2;  Tried without domain and it gives me "bad username and or password".  Tried with domain/username and it gives original error.  All Windows Mobile phones sync no problem and certificate is current and valid for server.  I have installed the certificate on the phone manually as well. 
    Passes all exchange connectivity tests from Microsoft as well. 
    Please help!!!

    make sure there's a https:// in the server name

  • Tungsten T2 will not turn on.

    I was gone a trip for about a week and upon returning found that my T2 (which was left at home) would not turn on. I assumed the battery was dead and placed it in the cradle to charge. The green light comes on but there are no other responses. It will not turn on now and I have tried pressing the reset but that doesn’t seem to do anything. The green light comes on when it is in the charger but it will turn on at all when I press the on button (or any button for that matter).
    Post relates to: Tungsten T2

    I think I have a corollary to this: Last night after I was finished using my Tungsten T2, I shut it down. I know the battery was charged because I keep it on the cradle most of the day at work and always sync before I leave. So, this morning I can't get it to turn on at all. When I got to work, I put it in the cradle and it turns on - and it appears to have performed a hard reset on itself! Everything was wiped from the handheld completely - it was as if it was brand new. So now before I do a sync with the data on my PC, I am treading very carefully. The Palm Support site doesn't appear to have anything on these things hard resetting themselves - has anyone ever had this happen?
    Thanks

  • Palm Pixi + Will not connect to Wi Fi

    Has anyone else ran into this problem I just purchased my Palm Pixi + Yesterday Got it activated today and when I got home I tried to turn on wi fi but when I push wi fi on it the circle just keeps spinning and never turns on any help is appreciated.
    Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121vzw (Verizon)

    I'm having a similar problem. I've had my Pixi + activated for 3 weeks and everything was working fine until yesterday. Then all of a sudden the wifi stopped working. When I try to turn it on all I get is a loading circle next to it that doesn't stop. My phone had always automatically connected to my home network so I thought it might be that but it wasn't. I also went later that day to a relatives house where my phone also automatically connects to but same thing wifi will not turn on. I also did the Quick Test and got "Code 20" "Hardware area: Modem".

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

    Cconnect it to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed.

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch will not turn on

    Over the last two years, I've battled with inconsistent performance from my iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. At some point, I think it got overheated, and I believe that's when the battery issues started. Here's an in-depth look at the various problems...
    1) The iPod will not turn on for weeks at a time. YES, I HAVE tried pressing the home button and wake button at the same time. Please do not suggest that I do that. When I plug it into either a USB port or my wall charger, the iPod will either A) not respond in 90% of cases or B) show the little charging symbol in the other 10%. If I unplug my iPod at this point, it shows the typical "Connect to charger" illustration. However, if I leave it connected to the wall, it will sit there, acting like it's charging, but never actually does. It never even gets to the Apple screen, and this often goes on for days. I have already tried "restore" mode in iTunes to no avail either.
    2) The iPod will charge (after weeks off of the charger), but only for about 25-30 minutes. Once I get it to turn on, it will only charge to about 20% usually, and then I have to remove and re-insert the USB plug to get it to charge further. I cannot use the iPod during this charging time, as it will deplete the battery and put it back in the state from number 1 for weeks. In connection to this problem, my laptop (primary charging source) now makes the sound effect of a USB device being inserted and removed fairly often, even when no iPod is connected, and when the iPod is connected, the USB ports will randomly charge (or not charge) my iPod.
    3) Even on full charge (that rare occasion), my battery life only lasts about an hour.
    I don't have a Genius bar anywhere near here, and this iPod is at least 3 years old, so it's not worth pouring a lot of money into to repair or replace. Any solutions?

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sounds like at least a bad battery

  • Mid-2009 Macbook Pro will not turn on

    Hi Folks,
    so my mid-2009 15in Macbook Pro will not turn on. I updated the OS to Mavericks in December 2013. I'm from California, but I recently moved to the Guam/Marianas area where it is more humid and generally around 87 degrees F all day. For the past month my computer has worked fine, albeit I did notice the fan was running a little more than usual. I usually would just put it into sleep mode when I would finish using it (apparently a bad idea based off of reading other posts concerning humidity and, more importantly, heat). One day I finished using it, closed it and the next day went to open it; I could hear the fans start to work, but then it stopped. It hasn't turned on since. You press the power button and nothing happens. I tried all the troubleshooting stuff.
    So, my question is this: what do you think is the problem? Moreover, how much do you think it could cost to repair it? My experience with computers suggests to me that it's probably a dead motherboard. I'm wondering if it's worth trying to salvage this thing or if it would be prohibitively expensive. There are no Apple stores in the area to take it in to get advice unfortunately.
    Now, I just want to vent a little frustration. I have many apple products, and I've even switched my mother over to an apple computer, but now that I need some very basic support, apple doesn't provide a contact e-mail or a free chat? I think charging someone $19 for 'one time assistance' is ludicrous. I bet if I brought this into an apple store I could at least get some advice, and thus get some idea how I want to proceed with repairs or not. I suppose I'm also rather frustrated that my macbook, which I have been most happy with all these years, breaks because I go somewhere a little more humid and generally warmer? It would appear that the hardware failure is connected to the climate. This makes me skeptical about purchasing another mac if it can't handle a little humidity. (I have not spilled liquids on it, nor have used this computer while transitioning from an air-conditioned/humid location which could potentially cause condensation). I do not think I'm being unreasonable (yes I do think a $2500 computer should not fail after less than 5 years), but if you think I am unreasonable, please enlighten me.
    Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.
    Ken

    Ken,
    the “Important Handling Information” in the little white manual that came in the box with your MacBook Pro states that its operating temperature range is from 50 °F to 95 °F (10 °C to 35 °C), and that its operating range of relative humidity is 5% to 90% (non-condensing). If your corner of the Pacific is outside of these ranges, the manual states that “Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to your MacBook Pro”.
    I have no idea what problem your MacBook Pro has; since you’ve tried all of the troubleshooting stuff, you’ll need to somehow get your MacBook Pro to a qualified service facility to diagnose the problem. If the logic board does need to be replaced, it would probably cost hundreds of dollars for a replacement, and you might find that purchasing a replacement used MacBook Pro of the same model to be price-competitive with just replacing your MacBook Pro’s logic board.
    If you find Apple’s out-of-warranty policies unacceptable, then your only alternative to venting would be to purchase your next computer from a different company which has out-of-warranty policies more to your taste.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

    I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • TS4585 My phone will not turn on and when it does, it only stays on for a few minutes.  The last time it said it was necessary to do a restore in itunes, but shut off again before i could read rest of warning

    My phone was working fine last night.  Plugged it into the charger and went to bed. Woke up this am to it off.  It would not turn on.  I tried a different charger and a different outlet.  Tried several times to hold down power and volume and or the menu button.  Finally, several hours later, holding the power and volume buttoon turned on the phone.  Said had 1%battery, so i kept it plugged in for about 5 min.  It went up to 2%.  I started to look at recieved text, then it went dead again.  Repeated the same steps and left it plugged in.  It kept turning off.  till finally, it went dim and a warning message came on to restore phone from itunes but idid not see the end of warning bc it shut off again.  Now it will not turn on, but has the white apple symbol turning off and on over and over.  I can not find the option to restore the phone, plus the phone is not on so the computer is not registering that its plugged in.  I can not call out bc no landline and can not call tech support.  Does anyone know why this is, or what to do?????????????

  • 2 day old iphone 5s turns off at 95% battery life and will not turn back on. HELP

    So I had an iphone 4s for two years, the battery started to not last as long, so with my upgrade I got the iphone 5s (greatttt). Anyways I had it for a month then all of a sudden I wasn't getting calls, it took over a minute for me to even get a call to send, then once I was on the call others couldn't hear me well, then it would drop (no problems with service, always happened with full bars).  Brought it to Apple store, they told me it was a combination between the phone and my SIM card.  They gave me a new one and recommended I go to verizon to get a new SIM card.  That same day literally 3 hours later, the phone turned off randomly at 65% battery and WOULD NOT turn back on.  I had to go back to the apple store, they restored my phone and almost gave me another new one. However they tested the battery and everything and came to the conclusion it was okay and that I needed to restore the phone and set it up as if I did not already have an iphone (not use icloud to bring EVERYTHING over) So we did that and it started to work, that was two days ago.  Over the course of the last two days I have SLOWLY downloaded my previous APPS, however the only way to download those are to do it from the "cloud" because apparently I can't just get them from the app store.  Well yesterday I got the blue screen of death, however it came back, I thought nothing except that it was over worked.  Tonight it went down to 1%, I left it on the charger until it was at 96%.  I had NO APPS open. Went to my calendar and added a event for tomorrow, put my phone down and then ten minutes later looked at it and its turned off.  It will not turn on, I tried rebooting pressing both buttons, Ive plugged it back it, switched outlets, switched cords, NOTHING.
    Of course I wish I never got the iphone 5s at this point.
    What now?
    Back to Apple again?

    Yep.
    Just like cars, you lucked on a lemon.
