Welcome to Discussions racb,
It is possible that one of your RAM (memory) modules has worked loose.
Intel-based Mac: Startup sequence and error codes, symbols
Use the ejectors/locking mechanism to dislodge the modules, then reinstall by pushing firmly with thumbs/fingers. Secure in place using the ejector/locking mechanism. When properly installed (fully seated), the top of each module at both ends will not protrude above the level of the plastic guides into which the RAM is inserted.

If this does not resolve your problem, try http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/help/2/
Edit-
It is extremely rare that original RAM fails and needs to be replaced. Loose RAM is much more common.

I have some error with my iphone 5 in black screen nothing shown

i have some error with my iphone 5 in black screen nothing shown nothing do no restart and when i have restore my iphone it say error 4014????????????

is this the original iPhone 5, or 5s? If it's the 5s do you have Apple Care still? If so calling Apple iPhone support is where to start, hopefully they can help, if not, setting up an appointment at the Genius Bar at an apple retail store is a good option too, Call the store first though and ask what your options are in terms of warranty and service. If you are having problems with the regular iPhone 5, still call Apple Care or an Apple store and see what they can do.
good luck!

I think we need more clarification.
What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

Sorry, I had not checked my older threads for a bit.... you might want to consider checking your hard drive's health. It's not a question if any hard drive will fail, but when. Check the S.M.A.R.T. status in Disk Utility and, if you can boot from your install CD, run repair disk. Then, take a look at this thread:

IPod has a black screen, nothing working, can't reset or restore

I have had my iPod for almost a year, and this is the first problem I've had with it. It showed a white screen for a day, but then it went black, and nothing is working on it. When I connect it to my computer, nothing shows up on the iPod about it being connected, or on the laptop. Anyone know what to do??

Hello. My iPod nano 4G 8GB has the same EXACT problem. I can't seem to fix it. Apple told me t switch to hold then, switch to on/off then, press MENU and OK buttons for 6-10 seconds to turn it off... I did this and it happened. ... Unfortunatly, I don't know what to do next.

Black screen nothing working

my ipod touch was hot at the bottom rear when i picked it up. for no reason. the display worked ok but didnt let me slide to unlock or slide to switch off. i have since fully charged it, fully discharged it several times and the screen remains black no matter which buttons i press. i have tried the reset by pressing top and bottom button for 10 seconds still nothing happening. It is now not recognised by the computer when i switch it on. or the tone from the computer when the usb is connected. iv not dropped or damaged the ipod in any way. any help here would be appreciated. thanks in advance, kevin

I agree, the black screen with 3beep error is a very common problem and the only solution is a replacement board. I suggest you read some of the other topics in this forum on the subject, many have good and useful info in them and there is also a lot of misinformation out there too, as well as an abundance of improperly repaired boards, so it's best to educate yourself before looking into repair options.

I try to charge it up,and nothing,it wont charge up.
Any idea's?????????????

Sounds like the internal board has failed.
If this is the case you will not be able to fix this yourself.
Book it in at your nearest Nokia Repair Centre.

T61p black screen, nothing working

My 8-year-old D has a Lenovo T61p Thinkpad. When she went to boot it up today all it did was give three beeps and then nada. No screen, no sounds, no anything. Nothing I do has any effect, not booting from F1, not hitting the Thinkvantage button.
Now what?

HELP!!! Black screen, nothing helps

PLease help. My ibook g4 started having black screen: i can hear the chime but the screen remains black. Sometimes it does turn on, but almost immediately the message asking to restart appears. I have tried all the regular fixes: setting changing, os re-installed etc. Support told me that it is probably hardware issue. What do I do now? Do I go to the store and pay them to fix it? Does anyone know how much? Please help.

Andosia, did you call Apple?  What did they say?
I've had a dead iBook G4 since last November-ish.  There are a few suggested fixes, one of which is taking your iBook apart and putting a shim in the case to put pressure on the chip.
A couple of months ago I put a wood clamp on the left palm rest of my iBook and it booted up without a problem.  I had it running (with the clamp attached) for nearly six hours without a single problem, and during that time I was able to get all my personal information off of it.
Now, in the past I was quite adamant about not taking apart my iBook when it's the responsibility of Apple to fix this issue, but today I finally broke down and took it apart.  I figured I may as well, it was just a $1100 paperweight as it was.  But as I type this on my wife's MacBook (which we bought to replace her iBook), I have her previously dead iBook up and running with a shim placed on top of the graphics chip.  I'm currently loading Panther from the Restore Disk because I wanted to give it a clean re-install, but it hasn't given me a single problem yet.
I still very much feel it's Apple's responsibility to fix this problem, but I'm not holding my breath, and at least now I have a working (for how long?) iBook.

IPod boots to black bar on screen, nothing else

I got back from the gym a few hours ago and went to plug my IPod (video) in to charge. Now when I boot it, the apple logo appears for a split-second, then disappears and a black bar covers the lower third of the screen. It doesnt show up on the computer at all when i plug in the USB. When I do the 'hold menu+select' trick to reset it, the same thing happens (apple logo then black bar), and I can't restore it because it doesnt show up on the computer. Is there anything I can do, or do I have a new, very expensive paperweight?

This is almost certainly an issue that requires service.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.
You can make an appointment by using this link.

3gs 32gb - black screen, nothing works..

I was playng a game on the iphone and then i went on the laptop while the game was still on, so it went on standby. Now i cant turn it on anymore..
I tried a lot..
I tried plugging it into my laptop, nothing itunes is not detecting it.
I plugged it into the wall socket, nothing
I let somebody call me, nothing
I put it on quiet, dont feel any vibration
I tried to hard reset it, nothing even after 1 minute holding the buttons down
I took out my sim card, nothing
It had like 80% battery when it stopped and ive been having it charging for about 30 min now, the weird thing is, the iphone is feeling pretty warm, warmer then normal so i just hope it wont explode in my face.
PS. i did not unlock it or jailbreak it or anything, all is standard.
anyone have an idea what else there is i can do?

See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
If this doesn't work, you may very well have a hardware failure and your next step would be to make an appointment at an Apple store.

Black screen, Nothing loads

I have a toshiba satellite l305d. When I turn it on the lights light up and the fan turns on but that's about it. The screen is black, no light, nothing loads, no startup screen or anything. I removed the hardrive and the hardrive is fine. Other than the noise of the fan the computer doesn't make a sound. Any ideas?

Yes, it sounds like the motherboard. Luckily, they are inexpensive for your model on eBay. And the L305/L305D is pretty easy to service.

White Screen; Nothing Else

Installed 10.4.11, last night, and all was fine.
This morning my MacBook awoke with no problem but
while I was creating a new folder I got the spinning
beach ball that I watched for 10 minutes before trying a
force quit with no luck.
I shut down using the power button and upon powering up
all I got was a White Screen with no Apple Logo or spinner
below logo.
This white screen's only change was to show a folder with
a question mark over and over.
This tells me the MacBook can't find the start up disk?
My next move was to put in Disk Warrior, power down, power up and
hold "C" key to boot from disk warrior.
Disk warrior came up on screen but not from boot up.
Disk warrior tells me I am running on start up disc and
cannot perform any tasks.
I get to restart from disc warrior but I am taken back to the white screen;
no logo; no nothing.
DisK warrior will not eject so, If I leave the MacBook on, eventually it will start from disk warrior but not from a boot up.
I have tried resetting by taking out battery and holding down the power key for
5 seconds with no change.
Tried target mode; nothing.
Can anyone tell me what is happening here?
Any and all comments will be greatly appreciated.

I installed the 10.4.11 update, and couldn't even get into my computer anymore - I had a white start-up screen with the Apple logo and revolving loading symbol.
So I called an Applecare rep who told me "oh yea, some people are having trouble with that update". Than told me to go back and install from the startup disk that came with my MacBook Pro (came with 10.4.8) (phone call and wait time was about 45 min)
So I reinstalled from my startup disk (about 1.5 hours later) Than I had to install 10.4.9, than 10.4.10.(another 45 min) So now that's the point I'm at, but still my iLife '08 programs don't open. (they should have worked with 10.4.9)
Arg! so this whole process is going on 3+ hours of my time and I still can't open my iLife '08 programs (as you can see I'm pretty frustrated)
So my questions:
#1 - Does anyone know how I can get the iLife '08 programs to open? If the answer is re-install, do I first have to delete what is already on my HD?
#2 - Since the apple rep told me "don't install 10.4.11 since it's a problem" what is up with that? Will it ever work? Am I stuck at 10.4.10 now? Should I care? What does that mean?
thanks,
woofdog
