Apple TV Dead After Power Surge

I believe we had a power surge over the weekend since there were some major storms. We were not here, but we know the power went off because we had to reset our clocks. When we tried to use our Apple TV, it would not come on. The LED would not light and we saw nothing on the TV screen. The Apple TV was plugged into a surge protector.
We have tried resetting the power, and we have tried connecting it to iTunes, but it does not show up. Does anyone know what we can do to fix it?
Thanks! Cody

Did you follow the steps exactly, when trying to restore? Disconnect all cables, connect micro usb, if using a 3rd gen reconnect power.

Make sure to connect directly to computer, not a keyboard port or USB hub. Try a different cable.

My IMAC seems to have died after power surge. It shut down and won't start. What shall I do?

my IMAC seems to have died after power surge. It shut down and won't start. What shall I do?

I would recommend you try an SMC reset at this point:
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
If that fails to solve it, it is probable that the power surge damaged some of your iMac's hardware components, and will need to be repaired at an Apple Authorized Service Center.

Use of WRT54G after Power Surge

I was very satisfied with my WRT54G v2 until I went on vacation and came back. While on vacation a power surge or lightning struck and wiped out a bunch of things from my garage door opener to office: cable modem (no ethernet port), router (no internet port), old BEFSR41 used as a switch (power supply dead).
After puttering for awhile, the WRT54G has some limited lifesigns.
-- wireless access works fine
-- switch ports work fine
-- Internet port does not work
Question:
-- Is this something that is serviceable?
-- Can it be converted into an access point or something?
Are old power supplys available for BEFSR41? or is it just junk now (even with supply, it could be fried)
A few thoughts would be worthwhile

You can still use the router like a wireless switch. It can be either connected straight to a modem for a single wireless computer or be connected to an existing network that has a router.
All you have to do is connect this router to the modem on any of it's switch ports and same thing if it'll be connected to a switch or a router.

17" Powerbook G4 1.67 GHZ - Will not turn on after power surge !!!

This is showing no signs of life after a power surge. Here is what I have done so far:
AC Adapter - Test OK
DC IN Board - Test OK
PRAM Battery - Test OK
There is power getting to the logic board, but absolutely NO response when you press the power button. I have tried the oh so famous PMU reset and zero response. The AC adapter glows amber, and no chimes or beeps. Has anyone had the same experience or could steer me in the right direction. I am very fearful it is the logic board, any sugestions?

You might want to take it to a repair shop. Something similar happened to me, but the repair shop took care of it in a few days. (The only things I lost were all the apple loops in GarageBand, but that's fixed too.)

After power surge g5 won't start.

We had a power surge the other night. Now when I try to start my computer I get a message that says to hold down the power button to restart the computer and the fans start to run loudly. I tried starting in safe mode but that simply keeps the message from popping up. Ideas? Please help!!

It shouldn't affect that, but may not help is all.
Do you have the Install Disc for this Mac & OS?
"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 at top of the screen. (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, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

IMac won't boot into OSX or XP after power surge.

I was using my computer in XP, and out of the sudden, there was a power surge. The computer turned off, and I tried to turn it back on again, and I heard the "chime" noise that you get when you start up, and then a gray screen. Even if I try to press the option key, nothing happens. any help?

Oh, I don't know how old. That might be the problem.
Also, recently, the computer won't turn on normally (gray screen) after a normal shut down, so I have to unplug everything and wait for a little while before it works again.
Additionally, the computer won't turn the display off after the pre-determined time like it used to. What gives?

My HP Pavillion A6700y will not power on after power surge

Got home today and the computer was turned off, was told there was 2 power surges today. I can push the power button, it turns on but blue power light doesnt, I can hear the fans turning on and being really loud but nothing comes up on monitor. Opened the case my power supply's fan (bought a few months back) turns on, same with the video card fan and the fans on the board. Anyone have any ideas to what could be wrong? Thanks

Removing the power strip is a fairly common elimination practice and not a speculation practice....
The Thermaltake power supply tester is an example of using the correct tool.
To cause a failure, that power strip must reduce voltage so low that a connected incandescent bulb dims to less than 40% intensity. Removing a power strip implies basic electrical concepts are missing. A perfectly normal voltage for all computers is even when incandescent bulbs dim to 40% intensity. If any power strip causes that voltage reduction, then the power strip is also hot and obviously dangerous.
Normal is for a defective power supply to be reported good by a power supply tester. That tester cannot report a long list of potential defects. For example, it provides a near zero (insufficient) load. It does not report numbers that report on other potential defects. It does not test other components of the power system. It costs almost as much as a meter that reports on so many other possible defects - and more. Those who better know this stuff can provide little assistance without numbers from that meter. Numbers are essential.
Best that tester can report is, "maybe a supply is good". And say nothing about other power system components.

Dead after power black out

The chance for this happening must be like winning the lottery
I was sitting home sync'n my iPhone when iTunes come up with a new update, I started to update my iPhone and just when it was about to get up to 60% complete when there was a black oute in my hose, after this there was no chance of turning the phone on. The phone don't respond to anything any more.
What do I need to do? Any one out there who can help me?

Hey bjorn27,
Try charging the iPhone from the wall adapter or your iMac for about 20 minutes. Also test with another USB dock adapter cable.
If it powers on, attempt to restore it: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744
If it still does not power on at all, it may need hardware repair.
You can make a reservation to have a Mac Genius take a look at it online here:

Restore Library After Power Surge

3 days ago an electric storm shorted out my computer. When I turned the computer on the following day, my iTunes library was corrupted. The songs that I had on my hard drive remained intact (seemingly).
When I tried to File>Import all of the folders and songs back into iTunes I successfully got back about 50%-60% of my library.
When I go back through the songs that are on my hard drive but didn't get imported and try to re-import them. When I do that, I don't receive any error messages, but the songs do not reimport into my library.
Do you have any idea how to get the files that still remain (but are not in my library) back into my library?
Thanks much for any help!

Have you tried to change ethernet cables? Check where the ethernet cable from computer is connected. It should be in one of the four LAN ports.

P1102W Laserjet is dead after it is power off then power up

A. 1st question : P1102W is dead after power off then back on. Below are the steps of what I did :
A1. I bought P1102W on 26Dec2011. Most updated driver (Win7 32-bit) was then downloaded
A2. I started the installation by clicking the downloaded driver
A3. It installed smoothly, even picked up my Asus wireless router SSID automatically
A4. Eventually, a demo page was printed wirelessly from my notebook PC
A5. Subsequently, printings are also done by iPad2 and iPod Touch, confirming that AirPrint is working
A6. The P1102W is then turned off for 1/2 mins, then turned back on
A7. Both iPad2 and iPod Touch could not find any AirPrint Printer right away
A8. I tried to print a WORD file, but it does not work anymore
B. 2nd question : IP address changed after 2nd notebook had installed the driver :
B1. Once the previous steps from section A is done, I immedately tried to do the same installation for my 2nd notebook (Win Vista 32-bit. I also tired with others notebook with Win7 64-bit or MacBook Air).
B2. Once the installation is done and the demo page is printed. I found that the IPaddr of the originally setting has been changed from 192.168.1.4 to 169.254.154.2, or sometimes (after 2nd trails) it becomes all zeros!!!!!!!!!!!!
B3. I did manually assign the IPaddr to be a fixed IPaddr without using DHCP, but it still does not work.
Anyone can help. Or I should tell my friends stop getting P1102W just for the purpose to get AirPrint for our iPhone/iPad2/IPod Touch??!!

I just bought the printer and I am having the same issue. Please help.

Has there been trouble with the charger. I am getting to re-order but the one i had the had the power surge and the end was blackened. Not sure if it safe to use the laptop again?

Has there been any trouble with the charger? I am getting ready to re-order but the one i had.... the had the power surge and the end was blackened. Not sure if it safe to use the laptop again? Thanks.

Can you also see blackening in the power jack on the PowerBook? If so, I would be worried that the surge also damaged the computer/
Does the computer run OK on just the battery? If it is working on battery power, that limits the number of things inside the computer that could have been fried.
If the computer is severely damaged by the surge, it's not worth repairing. However, a couple of posters in Apple forums said their homeowners'/renters' insurance paid them replacement value of their computer after power surge damage due to known problems on the grid, like the huge power outage that hit the SW Untied Stats and part of Mexico yesterday.

OpenGL? After Effects Issue / Related to Power Surge?

Hello.
I had a power surge that killed the power supply on my Quad 2.5GHZ G5. I got that fixed at the Apple Store, but since getting it back I was getting errors with OpenGL in After Effects. I had to disable it to get faster previews of what I was doing. I have very little understanding of what the OpenGL plug-in does or how it relates to my monitor, but could that power surge have affected this and caused this problem? Hopefully there is enough info here to offer me some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

This may be a specific case of a combination of the graphics card, your RT.X100 and the Matrox CoDecs. I suppose you went with the Parhelia to ensure maximum compatibility to ensure maximum compatibility with the other Matrox stuff and now it's biting you in your behind. I really do think that it's an issue with either Pixel Bender probing the card and not "exiting gracefully" when it finds it incompatible or MediaCore trying to manage your Matrox CoDecs when it isn't supposed to... If you are feeling adventurous, you could try to re-install the system without the video hardware and CoDecs, just the Parhelia and see how AE CS4 behaves, but of course that's just as undesirable. You could also try creating different hardware profiles (via your device manager), but usually, once a system is "polluted" with offending components, this does not bring the desired betterment...

While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas?

While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas on how to get past this so that I can at least run a restore?

I Don't know that recovery mode would work, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
IF that fails, have you considered erasing the device using Find my iPhone in iCloud.com? I'm not sure what good that would do either of the iPad continues to freeze, but if nothing else is working .....

When I power up my mac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds of powering up the screen goes dark. Yet I still can the mouse arrow but nothing else.

When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?

Try this from another user:
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
