A105-S4384 Won't Start: Only Batt/Cap/Num/Scoll lights

When the charger is plugged in, the caps lock, numlock, scroll lock, and battery (orange), light up; but the laptop doesn't come on. I have not tried to replace the battery (original), or remove and insert the memory sticks, or any other remedy. I recently replaced wireless antenna and wires. Please advise. Thanks Toshibalites!

Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
If it still won't start, remove the battery and start with just the AC power. Next try without the AC power and just the battery. Also, check that the RAM is inserted securely. Instructions can be found in your user's guide if you need.

Satellite A105-S4164 - won't start only blank screen

Hi all,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4164 laptop that won't start.
I thought that perhaps there is a problem with the battery. I took the battery out and then hooked up the laptop to the electrical outlet, made no difference. The blue lights in front the laptop, come on, but I don't hear any noise from the mother board or the fan. The laptop is purchased in July of 2006 and it is out of warranty.
All I see is the blank screen.
My guess is that the mother board must be replaced. I also had kept up with Symantic Anti virus and also windows XP upgrades prior to April 1, 2009.
Thank you for your feedback.

Can you see a picture on an external monitor?
Well I think in this case the notebook should be checked by notebook technician. You should contact an ASP and ask for help. This would be the best way because the technician can make sure what parts are faulty.

IMac G3 600 OS 10.4.10 won't start-only BLUE SCREEN?

I have an iMac G3 slot-loader 600 Graphite with 10.4.10 768 MB RAM 40Gig HD. It failes to start up. I get the white screen with the Apple logo and the small spinning sprocket. After 5 minutes, it goes to a BLUE SCREEN with the spinning sproket, then after 5 more minutes the mouse cursor appears only. You can move the cursor around the BLUE SCREEN. Tested RAM from another machine, and battery reads 3.7 volts.
Thanks!

Well, I'd try powering on with the shift key held down. This boots in safe mode which will run repair disk and skip loading of some software.

IPad 2 is won't start only showing the apple sign

Hi,
my iPad2 died on me. It was very low in battery, so I started charging it. Everything looked fine until the apple sign came up. And that is it. It won't start. It doesn't connect to iTunes and re-start doesn't work either. Any suggestions? Thanks for all help!

BTW - it doesn't seem to charge either. Apple sign only comes up while connected to power output (and trying to re-start), when I disconnect and try to re-start I get the "low battery - connect to power" sign - even though the iPad has been connected for several hours.

Plug into iTunes and restore. If it is not recognised by iTunes unplug it then hold down both the Home and Power buttons until you see the screen blackout. Now continue to hold the home button while you plug it in via usb. It will enter "recovery mode" and will show a connect to iTunes screen.

Won't start up, makes weird beep, power light flashes, and fan revs

I just tried to install new ram, but now it won't start up. I put the configuration back to what it was, but still not starting up. It makes a different beep then the fan gets really load, and the blue light flashes slowly...
ahhhh... did I break it?

HP Pavillion dv6446 caps/num lock lights won't light

i had my laptop screen replaced and when i got it back the caps lock/num lock lights wern't working. i took it back to the guy who fixed it and he told me it he couldn't replace the LED's because they needed to be replaced and he didn't know how to replace LED's mounted to the motherboard. i found it a bit funny that both LED's blew at the exact same time, especially since i had several other problems that appeared after he replaced the screen (those problems have since been fixed by myself). is there some controller that has been messed with that would cause the LED's to not light up?

I am facing the same problem with my dv6500 and never had a so big issue as yours. I believe leds are ok (when I press "fn" + num lock) this led lights up. I would really appreciate a help from HP in this issue.

CAPS & Num Lock Lights

Hi,
It is the second time that this happens to me; I switched on my MacBook, and the number lock light and CAPS light turn on too. By keeping them on, they work as if they were off. While if i turned them off, they work as if they were on.
To resolve the problem i restart my mac, and everything goes back to normal..
Does anyone have the same problem or a solution to this?
Thank you all!
Regards
Val

Well...I have to say that if it wasn't happening to my MacBook RIGHT NOW, I wouldn't belive you. As I'm typing now, BOTH caps lock and num lock lights ARE ON! If I hit the shift key, I do get caps.
I JUST SHUT OFF THE CAPS LOCK LIGHT AND NOW ALL I GET ARE CAPS...EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE SHIFT KEY AS I"M DOING NOW.
123456789 Both lights are on as I type now, but when I shut off the num lock, all I could get on the keyboard were the number pad numbers as I typed at the beginning of this sentence.
With both lights off, again, all I get are the keypad numbers...no letters.
The MacBook was working fine earlier today. I just booted it up and it started with this weird behavior. I hope rebooting fixes it.

My macbook won't start, only power light are flashing about two seconds

My Macbook Pro don't start anymore. The powerlight is flashing about 2 seconds.
The DVD-drive is starting and the disk turns on and is running.
I have resetted all RAMS as described in the apple support.
Before the actual situation, the computer hang up in iPoto with a flickering screen.
The crash-report mentiond somewhat about a read-error in a ?-RAM.
I could create a second partition and I wanted to install OSX-Lion, when the message came that the computer restarted, it didn't start and nothing could help.
Do sombody know what I can do to solove the problem?
Sincerely macsmbw

I'm having precisely this problem myself. For what it's worth, my macbook suffered a pretty devastating crash immediately before this happened. (I was playing a game and it completely crashed during play and shut down.)

IMac acting strange now won't start only 3 months old

This has just happened. Whilst doing some encoding a message suddenly appeared saying I had to restart. Everything had sort of froze. So I restart and get to the apple logo but then a grey screen comes down saying restart again and big lines of code appear.
Straight away booked in for genius appointment but that's not till wednesday. Anyone know what's happened?it's a 24" iMac. 4 g ram. Only 4 months old.
Before this I've noticed other little things like apps not responding and the famous beachball. Not to good for a £1200 mac!!!

Anyone know what's happened?
There would be no way anyone here would know.

Technology is far from perfect. Then take it in for warranty repair.

My G5 Won't Start Up - I see a red light for a quick second, no noise, nada

Hey everyone,
I had trouble with my G5 a few months ago and I wanted to fix it so I posted this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2319811&stqc=true
Anyway, I finally finished moving and I set up all the components of the computer and tried to boot it to fix it but it wouldn't turn on at all. The connections are all alright, as are the cables, but when I press the power button the white button flashes for a 1 second followed by a red light. No noise from within the computer except for a strange clicking noise that sounds like power trying to be sent somewhere.
If you can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Does it Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup)?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

My Air won't start. Black screen and no lights on keyboard!

I've been in Hawaii for a week, coming from Utah, so not sure if humidity had anything to do with this or not? But my MacBook Air had been working fine. I went to turn it on last night and nothing. So I thought battery was dead. Plugged in power cord and it started charging. Waited a few min and tried to start, nothing. Waited 30 min, nothing. Unplugged cord and tried. Nothing. This morning cord light stays green, indicating full battery, but still nothing. It has been sitting on a desk for two days and hasn't been touched. Wasn't able to afford insurance when I forked out $1400 for this guy. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

In such a case, diagnosis is extremely limited, since charger indicates a full charge on the LiPo cells, and you get no powerup sounds then the monitor is eliminated,
.....inside the Air it is extremely simple...battery cells a logic board and speakers, fan, and SSD. Very likely you logic board is dead.
Contact Apple for diagnosis/ repair.

EMac won't start and 3 beep sound and light flash

My eMac suddenly got problem these days.
Last night, eMac can boot and login. Suddenly, the monitor cant display property. Then, i enforced to power off. Later, trying restart it. eMac cannot start up and breeze 3 beep sound and flash power light.
I checked support forum. It claimed that "3 beep - no good banks". Actually, i dont understand what it is. What i can i do??

KY18,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The three beeps mentioned in Power On Self-Test Beep Definition means that during the startup test of RAM, the Mac detected that there are DIMMs physically in one or both sockets, but that neither DIMM is functioning electrically.
It's unlikely but possible that one RAM DIMM may have suddenly failed catastropicaly, far more unlikey if you have two DIMMs installed. A more plausible scenario, considering your mention of display problems, would be if the eMac were plugged directly into a wall outlet, or into a low-cost surge protector whose MOV hardware had degraded and failed (the status LEDs on low-end surge protectors are essentially worthless). If there was a power surge while you were using the computer, that could have blown out the RAM (and potentially damaged other hardware as well). Surch brownouts or surges are usually evident in the effect on room lights, clocks, and other elctronic devices plugged into the power outlets.
As a longshot, you can try pulling the RAM DIMMs and then reseating them in the slots, making certain that the thumb clips holding the DIMMs have snapped fully into place after reseating them. Check the RAM installation instructions at eMac - Do-It-Yourself.
