Broken power key

Hi,
I´ve got broken power key on my E50. Is it any alternative way or any code to turn it on and backup data.

No, it is the only button and method that can switch it on.
A nokia care point may be able to fix it for you.

6151 - Power key broken

Hi all, my power key is broken... Apart to bring my mobile phone to a Technical Assistance Center, is it possible just to turn on my phone with some method? I mean, a software turn on via cable or some special procedures. I'm wondering if I can turn it on and mantaining it always on!!!!!
Many thanks in advance,
regards,
Max

No, the only way to turn it on is with the power button.

Help, Broken Power Button- Can't turn on laptop

Hi,
I have an iBook G4 that does not turn on. The power button is unresponsive and doesn't do anything when pressed.
I'm hoping there's a key combination I can press to boot it up? (one that doesn't involve pressing the power button)
It's a school issued computer so I can't open it up, and since it's summer break I can't take it to our tech office.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The Power Key is about it, for starting up an iBook.
There may be something else wrong with the computer
which an expert or genius may be able to perform a
basic troubleshooting effort to find what that may be.

Some processes to troubleshoot and try to get it to work
may involve several different things; including seeing if
the computer could work with the power adapter only,
with the battery removed. Or see if the power adapter
may be needed to start the computer. Narrowing down
the possible sources of problems, to include inspection
to see if the power button is broken, would be needed.
If the battery is fully charged, and this implies the cell
is good and not been used up, perhaps simply resetting
the Power Management Unit (PMU) may help.
Without seeing the computer, some things are more
trial and error than others. If an Apple Store is within
reasonable distance, a call ahead to see if they have
an available genius or other person at a specific time
who can look over your computer; this may be helpful.
I suspect the issue may not be the Power Key; but
if that is the case, it would require a repair. And if
that happened to be the situation, someone at the
school would have to authorize it (unless you were
to be generous and send it off to someone capable
such as wegenermedia.com for a quality repair.)
Actually, if it's the Power key, a technician would have
to take the computer apart down to the logic board...
& a tech could decide how or what to do about it. In
some cases, certain repairs may be costly.

Power key not working

I have this laptop whose power key is not working properly. If at all, it starts up i get a hard disk error of boot device not found. I press the power key once and then again and it boots up perfectly. It's still under warranty. The service center told me about one of the locks being broken and said that it would cost me money to have it repaired. I would love to get a rightful response on this with proper warranty terms. Thank you.

If manufacturing fault or component failure not due to abuse, I am sure that it would be covered by warranty.

Broken power button on iMac G4

I am considering the purchase of this iMac. It has a broken power button. What are the implications of this? The present owner says that he just plugs it in and it starts up, and that besides he just leaves it on all the time anyway. How big of an issue is this? Can you advise me on how easy a power button might be to repair or if it is very necessary to repair it (assuming their is a workaround-keyboard startup?).
Thanks in advance!

Given the said iMacG4 model and year are not discussed, one possibility
may be to buy a third-party for Apple Macintosh keyboard with power key.
If nothing else is wrong with the computer, it may run awhile without trouble;
but access to the physical power key (on the logic board; may be hard to
buy the part by itself to replace it) is handy in troubleshooting or restarting
when something freezes up. Unplugging and re-plugging the iMacG4 to
make it go/make it stop is not recommended. Issues can result; I am
aware of a few problems in the G4 and earlier G3 iMacs and others, due
to the owner unplugging the machine instead of performing maintenance
or repairs in a timely and orderly fashion.
Since that machine is likely no longer covered under an AppleCare Plan,
you could either have someone else eventually replace the logic board
or other parts as you find them; or if you are technically minded and have
a good attention to detail with adequate work habits, fix it yourself. The
service manual, a download in PDF for techs, may still be available. It
was intended for trained personnel, and damages worse than the first
problem may result from improper procedures being done inside the iMac.
That said; good luck & happy computing!

Apple unable to replace broken power adaptor?

The power supply for my 1 year old Macbook Pro just stopped working. I think it's just wear and tear, so I have no problem paying for a new one, but when I contacted my local certified Apple retailer (Humac), they told me, well, basically, that I was f*ed. They told me that Apple couldn't deliver power supplies for the Macbook Pros - even the Macbook Pros they were displaying in the store were using power supplies for the smaller Macbooks!
My questions is; how can it be that Apple (and their certified retailers) can be selling (pretty expensive) Macbook Pros, knowing that they wont be able to replace a broken power supply?
Does anyone know of somewhere I can buy a power supply? It's urgent! I can't work without power!
In the store they advised me to borrow a Macbook power supply from a friend until Apple could once again ship the right power supplies for the Macbook Pros! What nerve!
PS: This is written on a Windows-based PC. Imagine the pain...

The Danish Apple Store lists the 85 Watt MagSafe as "Ready to ship in 1-2 weeks" ...

Why can't I shut down my MacBook unless I hold down the power key?

Hi all,
I have had this problem my MacBook Pro using both Leopard and Jaguar. It is a problem when I shut down using either the drop down menu or by the power key menu. It appears to shut down but when I close the lid the "sleep" light comes on and is steady. It isn't actually shutting down because if I don't have the power charger plugged in it will run out of charge.
So, to shut down, I hold the power key down for about 10 seconds.
If it does fall asleep I am unable to awaken it (the sleep light is steady) and have to go through the holding down the power key procedure to shut it down and then use the power key to start it back up.
Am I damaging it by doing this? I have tried the trouble shooting options as described in the manual. I had this problem before and one day it just wouldn't turn on and I had the hard drive replaced.
Thank-you very much for any help!

I have found a solution on another thread that seems to have solved the problem for me. That is, I haven't experienced since, either the double password prompt at wake from sleep or the issue of not being able to shutdown.
The solution requires deleting a preference file that apparently carried over from Tiger in the upgrade to Leopard and which is causing all the problems described. Preference files or .plist files hold configuration preferences and settings generally defined by the user for a particular operating system function. Deleting one of these files will result in the system recreating it on reboot with all settings set to default values, this is a simple way of fixing an incompatible/corrupt preference file.
WARNING: Deleting preference files will reset all configurations for that files associated function. Custom user settings made in the +system preferences>Hardware>Energy Saver+ preference panel will have to be re-configured by the user.
*_Step 1:_* Delete .plist files

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist (may not be necessary, holds schedule details for the Energy Saver preferences)
*_Step 2:_* Reset Parameter RAM
+Resetting PRAM and NVRAM+
1. +Shut down the computer.+
2. +Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.+
3. +Turn on the computer.+
4. +Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.+

- it respons only on power button long press for restart the computer
this state is on my computer 100% repeatable.
when I press power button only, this is working normally.
thanks for any solution.

Did you recently upgrade to 10.4.8? Not sure of your OS version due to the multiple items listed at the bottom of your post.
There are two things you can quickly try:
move the com.apple.safari.plist file in your User Library>Preferences to the desktop and restart Safari. Does the crash stop? If not, move the file back to its original location, replacing the newly created Preference file. If it works, then you'll need to reset your Safari Preferences as well as View menu and Edit menu (spelling) selections you may have chosen.
Try Safari from another User Account. Does it crash? You can create another user account by going to System Preferences>Accounts. Apple directions are here..
Post back with results.

No Power Key - How To Identify Model - In Chinese!

My wife has a Nokia Lumia 710. We think. She's got it all set up in Chinese. Left it with me to fix. The problem is she can't sent text messages. I can't read Chinese.
When I go to trouble shoot I download the manual and straightaway find much mention of the 'power key' at the top of the machine. This one has no such key. This one has a little round hole and then a sort of mini usb and then a larger hole.
Seems to me it must be something other than a nokia 710 but I don't know how to find out what it is. It certainly looks like one in every other respect.
And I need to be able to switch it to English.
I can't even get it to keep a display on for any length of time. There's a sort of green upside down 'U' at the bottom on the left and a red one on the right. Pressing those gets me a display with a white box at the bottom (with some chinese writing in it) and pressing that gets me a display with eight icons and a list at top with 1. Virgin Mobile and 2. Sim written there.
What is this phone?
How can I put it in English so's I can come to grips with it?
How to fix this won't send text problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That's *#06# and *#0000#
And Nokia Suite is for your PC, not the phone, It will tell you what phone you connect to the PC using a USB cable when you do..
Your phone is a C2-03 or a C2-06, not a Lumia 710, here's the user manual.
If the phone is not yet setup try dialling *#7370# followed by (if asked for) security code 12345
This will reset the phone to defaults erasing all user data and if Chinese is not the default language it generally goes to English. You can also go to settings (MENU-> cogwheel icon) and try options there to find the language settings.

MacBook frozen with broken power button

i have a 2010 MacBook Pro that has a broken power button, which seems to be a common problem with this model. To turn it on, I have to open the case and short out two pins on the motherboard. Lately, my MacBook has been freezing on me, which leads to a solid black screen. I can move the mouse around but there is nothing to click on. Since my power button is broken, I cannot just hold it down to force a shutdown like usual and I do not have time to let the laptop's battery burn itself out all day so I can start it back up.
Is there anything I can do to turn my Mac off while it's still running? I have the back case open and the fans are going. I'm afraid to poke around in there while it's running.
Thanks.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Broken power button

broken power button

I sent in my iphone5 for a repair/replacement unit on november 9, 2013, I was having an issue with the power button "doesn't work at all". It has no dents or any other issues aside from the POWER BUTTON. The good thing about apple is that the customer is always updated as to what exact stage of your iphone is at. After 20days, I received a text message: I went to apple to get the replacement iphone5. The POWER BUTTON issue is resolved but i noticed some other issue on the replacement unit. New ISSUES: Dents on the right side near the screen and it also has screen discoloration on the screen itself. It got worse! There might have been some other issue on the replacement unit if I had used it for a couple of hours. I am so disappointed about the service. I asked the manager to have it replaced but I need to wait for another 2 week to 1 month TAT turn around time. Apple would lose a lot of its loyal customers if they would not do anything about it for improvement of their service when it comes to replacing a defective unit.

Broken power button (the one on top right)+disabled ipod touch. From ebay, assuming I could fix it.

Broken power (top right, on ipod 32gb 3rd gen) button, Tiny Umbrella's not working. Tried RecBoot and STILL NOT WORKING Please help.

I have an iPhone 3G with a bad Sleep/Wake switch. I just keep it charges and use the Home button to turn it on/wake it. I have it timed to go to sleep after 5 minutes. I use this in place of the Sleep/Wake button.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3401
Charge yours, open iTunes, hold the Home button down and plug the USB cord from computer into the iPod. If you're lucky and iTunes sees the iPod, restore it. Then try and use it like I use mine. Note: if it goes dead, I just recharge it--no need to restore again.
