8100 turning on then off repeatedly

I have a Blackberry Pearl 8100 that started turning off and on today and is not stopping. When it turns on you see the hour glass for about 20 secs and then it turns off and starts again. Everything was working fine earlier today and then suddenly this starts happening. Anyone know how to fix this???

I just responded to this question for someother guy. Check under Hard reset thread for the answer

Turns on then off

My iPod was discharged. So I charged it using a usb port. So when i connected it, it had the non animated battery with the lightening bolt. So i waited like the guide said to. Then the iPod turned on like the guide said but then it turned off. And now it turns on then turns off by itself repeatedly. Until the battery dies once again. Then the cycle continues. Can somebody please help me??

I am also having the same problem with a relatively new ipod nano
I have tried all the secret ipod diagnostics
I have even booted the ipod into Disk utility (on a Mac) and erased the ipod drive to then restore the software on the ipod.
Nothing works and if you do a search in these forums you will find a lot of chat about this same problem going back over a year.
I will be taking mine back to Apple hope they will replace it as they had done in a previous post
Also if you put it into one of the diagnostic modes pushing the Select button and back button the screen will stay lit and you can run all the tests. no problem
So I assume this is possibly a software issue
I really wish Apple would Answer this question
What makes this worse is this was a gift to my elderly parents and they have only used a couple times.
If you google you will find a lot more people with the same problem
Will report back if I can get any resolution to this issue.

Hp dv6500 turns on and off repeatedly, any solutions?

Hi, I got an hp Pavilion dv6500 laptop for christmas around 2007 or 2008 and its having some problems. My brother was using it in March and he said the screen turned a bunch of different colors and froze. He started it back up and it would turn off after a second or two, then turn itself back on and off over and over. I have tried the following to fix the problem:
1. Reseat the memory, unplug and take out the battery and hold down the power button for about 30 seconds, then power back on.
2. Take out the BIOS battery and put back in (which I read is supposed to reset the BIOS) and place back in after 5 mins (I tried leaving it out for 5 to 20 minutes)
3. Reseat memory, place in freezer, take out after 3 hours, let it get to room temperature, turn on, update BIOS and Nvidia driver, (mine didnt even boot normally)
I have only had succes with #2 above. At first once I would do this, it would boot normally for a while and then start the power cycling again, I tried #3, but that didn't work, but then I took out the BIOS battery for 6 mins and put back in, it would turn on then make a noise and then I would hear the CD player noise and it would make the noise over and over... I found this was because I didnt reseat the memory all the way, so once it was back in all the way, it started normally (also because i reseated the BIOS battery).
When it came on normally it had an option to start normally or to run a check thing, last time i got it to boot it turned off before the check could finish, so I decided to try and update the BIOS as soon as I could, so I updated the BIOS, then after it flashed it, it shut-down like it said it would do, then when I powered back on, it started power cycling again...so i reseated the BIOS battery....We have done a bunch of the updates that the HP health check thing found but it hasnt fixed it...I also updated the "NVIDIA GeForce Series Video Driver"..which didnt fix it either.
- In the past the laptop would get so hot, if it were any more hot it would of burnt me, so i would turn it off, most of the time it would turn off by itself when it was too hot. BUT after a while it started to turn off by itself when it wasnt hot. Now ever since I updated the BIOS, once I take out the BIOS battery and place back in after 5 mins, it boots normally and every thing seems to be very normal until I power it off.
Is there any way to fix this? What is causing this? I would really like an HP employee to respond if possible too since you guys might know more about this. I have read other posts where people have asked HP employees to respond but nothing, so please do me a kind favor and help me and the many other people that have this problem. Thanks.

I'm not sure, it may be that you let the system cool off and sit without power for awhile. It's not easy to explain an intermittent issue. Have you already ran an HP System Recovery which formats the system and sets it back to the original settings?

Z77 g45 turning on then off then on again

OK so I was on my computer I turned it off when I went to turn it on it just goes on for like 2 seconds then off again I tested by using one ram and it still does it also I switched the psu out and it still does it is it a faulty board

This from the z77a-g45 as you didn't specify which z77g45 mobo you have.

JBAT1: Clear CMOS Jumper
There is CMOS RAM onboard that is external powered from a battery located on the
mainboard to save system configuration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can
automatically boot into the operating system (OS) every time it is turned on. If you want
to clear the system configuration, set the jumpers to clear the CMOS RAM.
It is just above pcie_5

This one is dead in between the two pcie slots and next to the battery.
Short the pins while the computer is off and the power cord has been removed.

Important
You can clear the CMOS RAM by shorting this jumper while the system is off. Afterwards,
open the jumper . Do not clear the CMOS RAM while the system is on because it will
damage the mainboard.
>>Clear CMOS Guide<<
If this doesn't work you will need to switch the ram sticks/ try them in different dimms to see if there is a change.
Since you won't give up and additional information some other things to try:
Remove any vga you have installed and try onboard.
Remove the mobo from the case and build in on a uncoated piece of cardboard or other non-conductive surface to make sure there are no shorts.
Remove any usb devices you have plugged in .
Remove the SSD and see if you can at least get to bios.

DCH70 Turns on then off

So I just got the DCH70 installed in my apartment. Everything is plugged in correctly. Power supply, cable from the wall into the in spot, from the out to TV.
When I plug in the power cable the green light and Amber light turn on, then green turns off and a couple seconds later the amber one turns off. There is no picture on the TV and no sound. When I hit the cable on button nothing happens... I'm at a loss.

Apologies for the issue and the experience that you described above. This issue can and should be corrected.
In reviewing your account, there are some definite and observable signal level issues on your Motorola DCH 70 cable box that need some attention and investigation (Upstream Health - Forward is showing at 66 which is out of normal specifications).
This issue is likely the root cause of your video issues.
I have asked a colleague to review your account and reach out to you so that we can get this condition resolved. A technician visit may be required to resolve.
Thanks for your patience.

New build, cpu turns on then off in 1sec

Recently bought a Msi z68a-gd80-b3 with a i2500k. i set everything in the case and seated the cpu, heatsink, videocard and a stick of ram in the first bank closest to the cpu. when i turn on the cpu it power cycles for a second then just shuts off. it used to power cycle for a 3 seconds then shutoff then back on for 3 seconds with the led13 light solidly lit, but after taking it out of the case in order to short it out its been just turning on for 1/sec then off. i have alternated all the components displayed on the bottom.
Mobo: msi z68q-gd80-b3
cpu: intel i2500k
ram: gskill 7-8-7-24 8gb 1600mhz and patroit 2x4 gb 1600 cas 8
psu: antec quatro 850 and thermaltake tr2 750
video card: 2x 8550 ati
im thinking its the intel i 2500kbut not sure how to test it other then finding another one which isnt really an option, but the motherboard bios light also comes on solid? any help is greatly appreciated. sorry im at work so i dont have the exact specifics on the ram. if you need more info please ask and i will post, thanks

I used a flat head screw driver to complete the circuit and try to boot the system.

maybe ill check the motherboard pins one last time but thats all i can think of.
Wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be the problem area. Aaron's suggestion to try a single stick in dimm slot #2 is a good test.

Ipod continuously turns on then off and makes clicking sound

Just today, after plugging my ipod into my computer and transferring voice memos, I unplugged my ipod and as soon as I did that, it shut down and began its continuous loop of turning on and off. It never fully boots up. Can anyone help me out with what might be going wrong

give it a search, sometimes you have to look for a day or two, but you will find one. Also do a search on google. You can find them at parts houses like ifixipodsfast.com for 120 for a 30 and 165 for a 60 gig. But do some searches and go here for the tutorial on how to change it. It is really not that hard at all.http://www.ipodhowtovideo.com/video/
I have had my video apart twice and two of my friends for screen and battery replacement. I have had the hard drives out and can testify that it is really not that hard. Just be careful with the ribbon cables.

Officejet 4630 Turns on then off again

When i turn on my printer, it seems to go through its usual startup routine. But when it gets to initializing the scanner, the carriage moves slightly and the rapidly "slams" back to it's starting position. My printer immediately powers off and the power button stops working. If I unplug the printer and then plug it back in, I can get the power button to work again, but it just repeats the process.

Hi , I see that you are experiencing issues with the printer's carriage slamming back into the starting position and then the printer turns off. I would like to help you. It sounds like a hardware issue, since the printer is slamming the carriage into the home position. I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation. Please try the steps in this document to see if it will help resolve this issue. A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays for HP Officejet 4630 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4640 e-All-in-One Printer Series. If the issue continues, please Contact HP Support for further assistance.

Why does my iPod 4g turns on then off while on the charger?

My iPod 4g will show the Apple Sign then shut off and repeat. Why?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Computer power issues ! turns on then off turns on then off ! Help Please !

When I attempt to turn on my computer the power light comes on and I hear the fans running but after a second or 2 the light goes off and the fans stop running, after a count of 2 the light comes on the fans start up again and the same thing happens again, on off on off I don’t have to touch the button the only way I get it to stop is pull the plug from the wall. I thought maybe it was a power supply issue so I replaced this with a new one but I got the same results. Does anyone have an ideas????

Dear Customer,
Welcome to the HP Consumer Support forum.
In order to isolate the issue, please try and perform few basic steps as follows:
1. Open the hood and ensure the 4 or 6-wire power supply cable is seated into the connector on the system board
2. Check if a device is causing the problem by removing ALL attached devices (such as hard, diskette, or optical drives, and expansion cards).
3. Power on the system.
4. If the system enters the POST, then power off and replace one device at a time and repeat this procedure until failure occurs.
5. Replace the device that is causing the failure.
6. Continue adding devices one at a time to ensure all devices are functioning properly.
7. Locate the header and jumper labeled CLR_CMOS
8. Remove the jumper from pins 2 and 3.
9. Place the jumper on pins 1 or 2.
10. Put the jumper back on pins 2 or 3
11. Replace the access panel
12. Reconnect all the disconnected devices one by one and then power on the unit and check if the issue persists.
In case issue persists please get back to us and we would be glad to assist you.
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again.

Ipod 4th gen turns on and off repeatedly as soon as USB connected

Hi, this is driving me (more specifically my daughter) nuts.
I have an ipod 4th generation (new and retail boxed) which we bought in May 2010. It's never been used and she decided last week that she wants to start using it.
Got it out of the box, installed itunes 10.1.1.4 an plugged it in (it has been on charge all day and was fully charged).
When the USB is plugged in, you get the windows USB tone, the 'Connected, eject before disconnecting' message comes up on the ipod.
It stays like that for 20 seconds then turns off and back on.
At no point does itunes recognize it and it will sit there and do this for an hour.
It does pop up in the device manage when it's connected until the 20 seconds have passed and it restarts.
The ipod O/s says - 'version 1.0.2 pc'.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp !!

Water in macbook pro. It turned on, then off... Chimes then shut off... Options?

Hey. So briefly.
On way home, layed bag flat with macbook inside. Water bottle cap not tight all the way. Felt cold on right leg, thought it was cold aluminum. Felt it and was water. Had very small puddle at bottom of bag. Immediately took macbook out and wiped down. No water inside keyboard area. Did not lift screen enough to wake from sleep. White light still intermittently flashing indicating that. Went to apple store. They opened lid and immediately held down power to shut off completely. Went to back and took off back lid, came back and said that it produced a puddle??? Not impressed with that or way it was said. They advised to leave it for 1-3 days. Went home, took off back lid, inspected and absolutely no water at all! Put back lid back on and turned on. It booted to login screen, then past after entering info. Loaded programs galore. After 5-8 minutes, shut down by itself. Tried turning on again, I hear boot chime then something clicking off inside, no screen. Then white light flases as if it is put in hibernation mode. I try one more time to hold down power and then boot up again, chime and same thing. No screen at all, click inside (dvd drive?) and hibernate...
What do you think? Battery indicator says full. White light flashes. No screen though and no boot up. Everything backed up on time capsule. Is there hope after 1-3 days? If not, what do you think is fried? What's the cost estimate? Anyone ever have a favour by apple because of extreme loyalty to the brand (product buying).
Thanks for listening and assisting. Will try anything.

You're probably past the stage when drying it off would help, but dry it needs to be before! you apply power to it again. If the battery is removable, remove it. Put it (as LInc said) in a bag of uncooked rice, for a minimum of 7 days, DO NOT turn it on again until this time has passed.
Good luck
