Camera flashes when charged battery is inserted. Won't power up.

Battery went dead while taking photos. I charged the battery. Upon inserting, the camera flashed (weird) but wouldn't power up. Then, the battery charger showed that the battery needed charging, so I did it again. In a few minutes it appeared to be ready, so I repeated the process with the same result. I thought maybe I ruined the battery, so I bought a new one.
Same result. I would think it's a software problem, but there's nothing I can do to get this **bleep** thing to light up!
Any ideas?

HT4528 My phone was charging and now it won't power on. Any suggestions?

I was charging my phone last night and was at 79% before I went to bed. This morning the screen is black. It won't power on. I also connected it with my laptop that has itunes and it was not found. Has anyone had this problem? How do you fix it?

I found other posts that recommended holding the on/off power button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears and disappears. Then you can power the phone on. This worked for me!

Droid X2 keeps shutting off, battery not dead, won't power up unless plugged in?

Just got it off Ebay...fully charged, shuts down whenever I try to use it, and won't power on again unless I plug it in. Anyone else have this issue and know how to resolve?

Did that and shouldn't have...now it still shuts off, and wants me to "activate" again with a phone call, except I can't because this model does not let you access the keypad!

Optical drive makes weird noise when CD/DVD is inserted, won't play

OK so...When I put a CD or a DVD into the optical drive, it makes this weird consistant sound that, while i feel like an idiot typing it out, sounds something like: eee ooh ooh eee ooh ohh eee ooh ooh.
It does this for a couple minutes until it responds to me pushing the eject button.
Anyone know what this is?

I would guess a hardware failure.

Look on the right side of the phone, for a sim tray, you'll need a paperclip to push into the small hole for the sim tray to open. Or look in settings - general - about

Sorry if the heading is long, but i thought I was in the letter mode, anyway but as you can see it would appear I have a problem! after watching YOUTUBE IPOD videos on my 'desktop' , it all looks pretty straight forward? I think I managed to register using Itunes
so 'WHAT'S UP DOC'? thanks in anticipation

Unless you get that WRT54G for free or next to free, pass on it and pick up an old apple WAP off eBay or similar site. Like you my iPad has a connectivity problem with the WRVS4400N running iOS 4.2.1, where it didn't have trouble with iOS 3.2.2 and ran fine for five months.
My solution at the office was to spur a second router off my DSL router just for the iPad. The first was a WRT54G that had to be set to only one 802.11 protocol to keep the iPad reliably connected, but swapped it out for an old airport extreme that I kept on after testing it to be good. With a home network like you describe, I would run a subnet off the WRVS4400N just for iPad using an apple WAP (the configuration app for Windows is easy to use).
Good luck.

Swollen battery, now Mac won't power up

My battery is swelling and I had resigned myself to working tethered until I HAD to purchase a new one. Last nite, my infant grandson yanked out the power cord and now I can't power back on. I get the green light on the AC adapter, and had always assumed that I could run the computer just from that source without the battery. Am I wrong or could the sudden disconnect possibly have tripped something that now prevents me from powering back up? Any one experience similar troubles?

You should be able to run the MBP just from the power adaptor. You could have some directory corruption from the abrupt shutdown. See if you can boot from your install disc. If you can, navigate to Disk Utility and repair your boot disk and try again.
Have you removed the swelling battery? You need to--otherwise it can exert pressure inside the machine and potentially cause damage.

Black screen when battery is inserted

Hi everyone. Suddenly my 2009 white macbook goes to black screen when the battery is inserted. From startup with the battery in place [and power cord in or out] the computer starts but goes to black screen after the grey apple logo and little grey spinning thing. If i look very closely i can see the images on the screen. If i remove the battery with the power cord in, the computer behaves normally. If i put the battery back in again it goes dark again. Therefore i can only run it using the power cord. The battery is fully charged, the computer charges the battery ok and I've tried a few different batteries. Have zapped the PRAM and reset the charging thing. I'm out of ideas folks ! Thanks

OK so I have a 2008 white macbook and it will work just fine if i have the power cord plugged to it but with the batte out so with no battery placed in it now when I try to place in the battery my screen dimmes down to the lowest point it can so the screen looks black but if u look closely you can barly see the the windows on the screen

When/how to charge battery of I pad

My i-pad power is down to 40%. Is there a preference as to when to charge battery? Also, should the power on the I pad be off or on when charging?

Hi and welcome .....
Fastest way to charge the iPad is to connect it to a wall outlet as USB takes a little longer. Doesn't matter whether or not the iPad is or not.

White screen flash when I use Preview to look at pics!

GDay all
About a week ago my G5 Duel started flashing a white screen (like a camera flash) when I load any jpg tiff or pdf using Preview. I minimise the photo file, then load it back to full size and I get a white flash.
Its like someone is taking a screen dump of my screen every time I use the preview program... If I was on a PC I would think I was being hacked...
Any ideas?

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
Let us know.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Do you have any cover or similar on the phones backside? In that case, try to remove it and see if you get a better photo.
Please also note that if you take a picture to close to an object with a blank or white surface the flash may reflect back into the camera. Do you get the same picture quality with the flash if you take a photo from a longer distance or on another object?
