Backlight off and hold issues

I discovered yesterday that my new 20GB iPod's backlight has decided not to work. I pulled it out of my bag to use, and the light wouldn't come on. Also, whenever I take it OFF hold (when i want to use it) it restarts and shows the apple logo and everything. I've tried restoring it to factory settings but that didn't work

Hi Nathan,
Those don't sound like problems that can be fixed by the user. I would take it in and get a new one.
Good luck!

Hi!

My Early 2008 MacBookPro 2.40 ghz 4 gb Ram OSX Mavericks machine's keyboard backlight off and fans run at high speed; it seems an exact smc resetting problem.
So i tried the 2 ways of SMC restting procedure; both battery you can move and not, but nothings changed on the situation..
On the way for removable battery; nothing changed but on the way for umremovable battery way; keyboard backlight flashes and gone, but fans are at high speed not changed. So nothing changed.
What can i do right now? i'll wait for your advices

Your Mac may need a new PRAM battery. Once it is over 4 years old, that often is needed.

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

Battery drain even when iPod is off and hold button is on

The battery on my 20G click wheel is draining too fast.
If I do the battery test and let it run, it goes 12 hours fine. If I want to find certain songs or what-not, it drains the battery too quick. I know it does use more battery, but it's ridiculously to the point where clicking through to a few songs drains a quarter to half of the battery. I'm not leaving the backlight on, either.
Now, the battery seems to be running when the iPod is off and the hold button is set. The other day I charged it with the lock on, unplugged it, came back a day later and saw the charge was gone. Last night, I had half a charge when I turned it off, turned the hold on, and could hear a little noise through my headphones when I turned the hold on. Today, no charge.
Any ideas, or is my battery toast? I have already restored this iPod once, so I don't think it's a software problem.

Hi @Saarthak_b,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having concerns about your battery life on your HP Notebook PC. I will try my best to help you with this issue. To better guide you, could you please tell me the full model or product number of your computer and the operating system that is running on it. Here are some guides for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? and Which Windows operating system am I running?.
In the meantime, here is a document for Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8) that may resolve this issue for you.
I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you and have a nice day!

How do you get a cd out of the imac g5 drive if the computer doesn't know it's in there. I've tried shutting it off and holding the mouse button, but nothing works because the computer can't eject what it isn't registering to be there in the first place.

I can't get access to the cd that is probably slid past where it is supposed to go. The computer doesn't note it is in there. This happened once before and I used another cd to tap it into place, and then I could eject the cd. It's a library music cd and nothing I've done to eject it, works. The dvd drive is empty to the computer, even though I've tried to trick it by getting it to burn a cd or dvd. It says insert disc. Hope someone knows how to pop it into place or open the thing up to get access to the drive. That cd is due!

power off your machine. hold down your left mouse button. power on your machine. This should eject the cd.
Eject cd
Here is a web page on twelve ways to eject the cd.
http://www.osxfaq.com/dailytips/01-2003/01-16.ws
You indicate you are running on a g5, but 10.6 doesn't run on on a G5.
On a PowerPC-based Macintosh (but not an Intel-based Macintosh), you may use Open Firmware to eject a CD or DVD disc when normal methods for ejecting it have not succeeded.
Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the key combination Command-Option-o-f. Enter commands:
eject cd
mac-boot

Ipod uses power when yurned off and hold button

i hav 1st gen ipod nano, the ipod seems to hold a charge when on, yet if i turn it off and put the hold button on it uses power while off, also when i flick the hold button off the i pod turns straight back on and starts playing. Its out of warranty and ive reset it and restored it to factory settings any idea!!!!

and also it takes only a couple of hours for pwer to
drain when its off
Do you have any clock functions set (alarms, stop watch, timer) or calendar events? These can use up power... Restoring it might be a good idea after you first reset it:
Toggle hold switch, press and hold Menu and Select (center) buttons for at least 6 seconds.

Nokia 7373 On/Off and Freezing issues

My phone keeps switching off and on by itself, if its not doing that it freezes up. While its frozen it starts to kill its own battery. Like it will just stay on the main screen with this dim light on and you can feel the phone start to heat up.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it.

It's either a software fault or hardware failure.
Backup everthing you want to keep then download and install the nokia software updater:

T510 doesn't fully shut off, and has issues powering on

Our brand new T510 is having issues completely shutting off. When you use the Start > Shut down button.. Windows shuts off.. and the screen goes completely black. (normal procedure right ? )... but the battery light stays on (even when unplugged from the AC cord, the light stays on).. you can open the disc drive, and you can hear the fan running.
If you open the computer back up, and try to push power, it will not come on.
To power back up.. you have to hold the powerbutton for 5 seconds, and then push power button again.
What's up with this? Anyone experienced anything similar? I have run all applicable updates in System Update 4 (the ones I "need" that is).

Welcome to the forum!
Have you checked the power settings to see what the off button is set to do?

Keyboard backlight question and/or issue

When I am on a call after like 30-60 seconds the screen and keyboard dim and then go off. I am using a bluetooth but it also does this on handset audio when you do not press a key for a while during a call. I know this is normal. What I do not know is if the next part is normal. On the Tour the Green Talk key, menu, back, and red end key all stay lit up after the dim. I had to exchange my first tour and on this second one sometimes even the main row (green, menu, back, end keys) will dim so the entire keyboard is not lit up. That main row is lit up sometimes and sometimes not. Sort of like how the LCD dims sometimes and then the backlight will come back on for no reason like all blackberry's seem to do. Is my main row backlighting acting normal or is that row supposed to be lit the whole time and i have a short?

I too would love to know the answer to this question.
DJs use MB Pros under the same conditions, and I have heard from some that they have never experienced any issues after two years of intense use.

Satellite A300D-15B - Switched off and charging issue

Hi
I have a Satellite A300D-15B, running Windows 7 32bit, which bought quite recently used. I have encountered a couple of problems which I hope someone can help me with!
Firstly, the day I got the machine, it switched suddenly, but turned back on immediately and seemed to be ok. Afterwards, 3 weeks later (saturday 2nd July) I was installing some software when I got a virus warning from AGV, within a few moments the machine again turned off suddenly. Unfortuanetly this time it would not turn back on and the charge/AC supply lights would not come on. After doing some research I found that disconnecting the BIOS battery and dissipating the power enabled me to turn the machine on. Is there any known issues which could be causing this?
Secondly, once I had got the laptop to turn on after the sudden shutdown on staurday, I have found the charger still wont register as being plugged in unless i use the folling procedure.
1) diconnect the mains fuse cable from the transformer block
2) remove the battery
3) plug in the DC jack
4) reconnect the mains cable to the transformer which causes the mains light on the laptop to turn on.
5) reconnect the battery
The laptop then charges normally, I am using it to write this post.
I have to use this process everytime the machine is unplugged from the the mains or charger, which is irritating and also a worry that there could be big problems on the horizon.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
cheers
John

Hi
I upgraded it to 7, the first time it shut down was the first time it was switched on after the recovery disc had been used. Could that be an out of date driver on original settings? Then upgrading to 7 giving similar problems?
I upgraded to 7 not a fresh install, which I never usually do.
The charger is a genuine unit not a 3rd party, I won't use them as I've had issues in the past. I'm just concerned it's a mainboard problem given the shutdown and subsequent strange charging behaviour. Do these have EEPROM's in the chargers and maybe clearing the CMOS has caused a recognition problem?
Cheers

Do N100s have a feature to turn the backlight off and on?

I own a 0768-DCU and have to use an external utility to blank the display. Apparently it doesn't do it by switching the backlight. Other laptops I used have an Fn+Fx shortcut to do it. I bought this N100 used. It had the display replaced. Is it just the new display that doesn't do it?

My iPhone 4S has stuck some how. It won't allow me yo swipe but tells me which button I am pressing! How do I get out of this, tried the usual, on off and holding both to reset but still stuck

My iPhone 4S has stuck and won't allow me to swipe it open! It talks to me and tells me which button I'm pressing, tried to reset ect but not working,

Sounds like you've switched on something under accessibility, I have an iPhone 5s & there it's under settings>General>accessibility.
To swipe you could try using two fingers.

Suddenly my ipod power off and it remained off

Hi,
My 4 day old ipod nano Suddenly fot power off and its remained same. Its not power off. I tried to connect with pc. It is not responding. I can't on it. I tried to restart it with the hold button on-off and holding the menu and center button 10 seconds. It is responding at all.
Plz Help.

your ipod is currently carrying very little battery, which is not sufficient to turn your iPod on, can you connect it with an iPod wall charger or an iPod speakers dock system i.e. iPod HiFi.
If you cant find, please try to do a Reset while your iPod connecting with your PC

I cannot shut dow my MacBook Pro using the apple icon (as it was suppose to be), actually I have to press and hold the on/off buttom. I have taken twice for Mac dealer and they did not solve the problem. What must I do?

Since then I have facing this troublesome issue. Thanks

Uninstall the other AV software. They are not needed. All they do is cause trouble like you are having now.
If you have been forcing the Mac to shut down with the power switch you may nave corrupted your disk. You should repair it with disk Utilty to remove any corruption the shutdwons may have cased.
