All in one computer keeps overheating. Now won't turn on

My HP all in one Touchsmart 310 computer has been overheating for the past month. I would shut it down as soon as I hear it (the fan I think) run really loud. Yesterday (July 14th) it was getting loud so I shut it down and I waited for it to cool down. When it was cooled down I went to turn it on and nothing happened. The button didn't light up. I checked the back where the power cord is plugged in and the green light was on showing it was getting power I guess. I read online somewhere to unplug the power cord and hold in the power button for 10 seconds then plug it back in. I did that and the power light flashed a couple of times but the computer didn't start up. Is my computer toast now. I've only had this computer for 3 years and it's been sent to HP twice I think in that time. I had an extended warranty on it but now the warranty has expired. Should I spend the money to have it fixed or just buy a new computer. I was thinking awhile back to buy a new computer now that windows 10 is coming out. I was getting the free windows 10 download for the computer that doesn't work. I noticed on the all in one computer there are no screws on it whatsoever. So I wouldn't be able to open it up to see if it needed cleaning inside. I tried awhile back to clean it through the vents with a straw but no dust was coming out of it. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible. I can't live without my computer. I'm using an iPad mini to type this and it's not the same as having my all in one computer.

Thanks King_Penguin it worked!   I'm curious though, if these are signs of a bigger issue that I should take into the Apple store for further investigation.   Or is this just a quirk of the iPad?  I've been having the crashing issues consistently for about a month.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!

  • I purchased an iMac MC309LL/A model A1311 21.5" All in one computer. I purchased it 8/28/11 and about 2 months ago it started powering down. I called for support and a Apple Customer Support, I did what they said and now it wont turn on at all.

    I purchased an iMac MC 309LL/A model A1311 21.5" All in one computer on 8/28/11. The computer stated to shut down on me every once in a while when I was working on it. I called Apple customer support and a rep walked me through deleting all of my cache files saying it was the prooblem. She then had me do a re-install with the installation disc. After doing that she said to turn my computer off then back on and the computer would want to run some updates an to let them run. I was told to call back if there were anymore problems. The computer turned on for a couple minutes then shut down again and won't turn back on at all now. I took it to the Apple store and they told me it was the main board that delivers power to the computer and it whoulld cost about $550 to replace. I have had this computer for 1 1/6 year and hardly use it. My tech told me the same thing happened to his. Doesn't this mean the equipment could be faulty?
    Who keeps track of how many of these are having the same problem and when should there be a recall. I have always used Dells at work. The one I have is 6 years old and works great. I have Compaq laptop at home that is almost 7 years old. I have never had a problem like this before and I can't believe that I spent$1300 for a computer that crashed after 1 yr 6 months. What's worse is that it is my first major Apple product other than my iPod Shuffle.

    Sorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
    So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
    We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis.

  • My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

    Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
    A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
    1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
    2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
    3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
    Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

    "This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
    It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
    Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
    Keep us posted.

  • My 2210 all in one printer keeps giving the message "Remove and check cartridge"

    My 2210 all in one printer keeps giving the message "Remove and check cartridge." Although I go through procedures outlined in manual, message keeps reappearing. Suggestions?

    Hello again!
    Still having problems but here's more info: Checked "Resume" but  Message next to the job says ERROR but that 'Pinter is ready'.
    However, on the PRINT & FAX page in System Preferences it has 'Idle' next to the psc1317 (default) printer.The computer scans the document but wil not print it. With printer off I disconnected the power cable and the USB from the computer then re-connected after 1 minute.  When I turned the printer back on it printed the test sheet but not the document.  I have also unistalled then reinstalled the hp1317 Snow Leopard software and driver and computer says that all software is up to date. Apart from a dodgy connection I have no idea where to go from here!

  • How to activate a pen tablet on photoshop on a All-in-one computer [touch screen]?

      I have a all in one computer touch screen- and I can use a pen tablet right on the screen, it's active- but when I go on PSCS6 and try to use the pen tablet, it is not active onto the screen- where do you go to activate it?? Can you?

    That is the question I asked you.  I think you will find that your display only functions as a touch device.   My old Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet was just a tablet device.  My new Intuos 5 Touch is both a Tablet and touch device. When the pen is in close proximity with the tablet surface touch is turned of and it functions as a tablet.  The Wacom device driver has some Touch functions the can be configured to work with Photoshop.  I could configure touch so I could finger paint in Photoshop. Photoshop does not have its own touch support and touch settings.   If you can find a device driver for your displays touch feature that use wintab api. to support a pen interface you may have a chance,

    Hello, 
    Hope you have considered Entropy's recommendation seriously.  However, if you are insisting on an all in one computer, I see that Michael recommended the HP Touchsmart which you can review is described on the Best Buy site at:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP-Info-Center/HP-TouchSmart-All-In-One/pcmcat152800050003.c?id=pcmcat15...
    Let me know if HP's Pre-Sales team can assist with a recommendation which you can still purchase from Best Buy.

  • Can I use ASUS VM60-G072R Desktop (like mini Mac) with my iMac all in one computer? I need to use Windows version of QB and I don't want to buy a PC tower or laptop.

    I need to use the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro and I don't want to use Parallel or buy a PC tower or laptop. Can I use ASUS VM60-G072R Desktop (like Apple Mini) with my iMac all-in-one computer?

    Thank you Kappy. I guess I have to decide to purchase a separate monitor and keyboard for this mini PC computer then. And also find extra space in my office. I'm happy you answered my question so quickly.

  • IPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    iPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    Try in order:
    - After charging or half an hour, reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and if it shows in iTunes, restore the iPod via iTunes.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovory mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • ZEN Micro won't turn Off and now won't turn

    Hi Everyone, hope you can help me out here.
    I have been using my ZEN micro for about week now and it was at first working fine.
    Then it started not turning off, so i had to pull out the battery.
    This is obviously very annoying, but it got worse over time.
    It now won't turn on unless i switch it about 30-40 times.
    What is going on, is there a way to fix it and is anyone experiencing the same problem?
    Thanks very much,
    Fern

    FernIe, I have the exact same problem, although now my Zen Micro won't turn on at all via the switch.
    My Zen Micro is 5 months old and its only been over the past few weeks I've been having problems. It started with having to hold the switch in the power on position for a least 30 secs and trying it at least 5-0 times before the player would turn on, and having to remove the battery to turn it off. Now, not matter how many times I try the switch or how long i hold it for, the player won't turn on.
    The battery is fully charged and I have never had problems with the headphone jack, and I haven't dropped it or done any damage to it that I think could be causing it. I'm having to turn it on by plugging it into my computer through the USB cable and then unlpugging it once its on, it's a pain doing this and means if I want to use it later I have to keep it on, muted, in my bag all day with the lock turned on (that end of the switch works) then once its turned off I can't turn it on again until I get near a computer again.
    I've searched the discussions and knowledge base but haven't found an answer. I've just emailed the support team and I'm waiting for their response, would be interested to know what they've told you.
    Just letting you know your not alone and I feel your pain!
