Compaq Prepares CQ61-320SA not powering on.. tried hard reset.. :/

1. Product Name and Number
     • Compaq Presario CQ61-320SA
 2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
     • Windows 7 Home Pre 64-bit
 3. Error message (if any) 
> Unable to turn on the laptop.. 'Power' light flashing all the time.. AC Adapter light turned on at the socket where its plugged in..
> Bizarrely, Laptop is not turning on without battery and only AC adapter plugged in.. no lights except the AC adapter light at the socket..
> RAM.. :/ Removed 'both', cleaned them, swapped slots.. used just one (both modules in both the slots individually)
> My battery replacement part number is: 484170-001.. just to give an idea what kind of battery i might be having..
1) My first question is, Does my laptop model work with only AC plugged in with out battery? IF so does that mean my laptop system board died on me?
2) Can I order a board on my own? does it have to be the same model number? or may be a different similar board that may be cheaper?
3) or is it just the power jacket or slot issue?
 4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
     • Always runs hot at about 80 to 85 Deg C.
Thanks,
Much appreciated of your time.
Sid

Bumping up.. Please suggest something.

  • I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  Help!

    I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  I'm kind of stuck - this is both my personal and my work phone, so I'm really in a bother here.  Help!

    I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network.  I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging.  It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it.  And I had data roaming shut off all together. 
    when I try to restore, I get this message:
    Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.  If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
    When I try it through iTunes, I get a similar message. 
    and the network just keeps saying, "Searching..."

    Hello,
    I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
    THAT was not an option!
    BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
    In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
    I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
    Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
    By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
    We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
    the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
    It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
    treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
    @Apple:
    Please fix that issue in the next update.
    Hope, this helps you guys as well.

  • Camera is freezing up on a brand new ipad mini.  Any fixes to try?  I have tried hard resetting it.

    The camera on one of our devices is not working.  It opens but then is frozen.  I have tried hard resetting the device but has not helped.  This is a brand new mini that we just received.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • Speakerphone problem - lost voice from speakerphone while playing music or gaming youtube, while call or voice recording playing - all works fine, so speakerphone is working but not on all apps. hard reset done - no changes

    iphone 4
    SOLVED plugin to charger solved it - so problem was with contacts -- no idea why - phone is new - no water - no havy dust - usual using  
    hope will never return. Thanks

    We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?

  • Touch screen in not working even after Hard Reset

    My Palm Treo 750 stopped working and responding suddenly........i tried a soft rest which didn't worked i then tried hard reset but in both cases the device boots and screen pops up "Tap the Screen to Start The Device". However this is the point where my device  hangs up even after resetting it several times. I have also downloaded reset software from the palm website but unfortunately it only runs/works from palm device. i have installed microsoft active sync from the palm CD and my device is detected and syncronized using USB cable which prbably shows it doesnot have a hardware issue.  
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

    Remove any screen protecters or cases, then hard reset again. If the problem continues then it will need to be repaired or replaced.

  • Can i backgrade my iphone 4s from ios6.0.1 to ios6? - Wifi is greyed out and will not switch on, tried factory reset but keeps restoring to ios6.0.1, please release ios6.0.2 ASAP apple!

    So yeah I recently upgraded to iOS 6 fine no problems, a few bugs here and there regarding txt shortcuts not working when imessages switches back to sms when loosing 3g but nothing major.
    Then a few weeks ago I updated to iOS 6.0.1 as I thought maybe a few bugs would be fixed.  I backed up my phone (for the first time with iTunes).  Then after the 6.0.1 update I had (as it seems a lot people have had) a problem with the wifi not switching on and being dimmed out.  I tried various "reset the phone" "reset the network settings" options that people have put on these support forums.  So my last option was to reset the phone to factory settings- I did this two times, firstly reseting it to factory settings and restoring it to the back up, then reseting to factory settings and setting the phone up as new.  After doing this second reset my phone did not go back to iOS 5 (which is factory settings) but iOS 6.0.1 and I still have the same Wifi problem.
    Apple- please release 6.0.2 ASAP, this bug is costing me ton of 3g data as I use my iPhone regularly for work and use it at home all the time.
    Is there anyway I can back grade to ios5 or ios6?
    PLEASE HELP!!
    thanks
    Martyn

    Ok after reading a few posts I relalise you can not down grade os on iphones and never have been able to.
    But how come I can't factory reset my phone properly? sure factory reset will mean it will reset the phone and its os to the os that it built with with was ios5?

  • My wife's iTunes ID will no longer work.  Tried to reset password but did not get email, tried to reset by answering personal questions' but will not accept the correct date of birth.  Has it been hacked?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's iTunes used ID will not work.  Tried resetting the password, but email was not received.  Tried using personal questions method, but would not accept the correct date of birth, so could not go any further.  Has her iTunes ID been hacked?  How can I fix this?

    Thanks for that advice @randers4.
    I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
    So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
    Problem solved!

  • HT1430 i pod will not come after trying to reset  forgot passcode

    forgot passcode and tried to reset and still won't work

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • TS3899 Can't send or receive email on iPhone 5 nor my iPad 2?  Tried hard resetting, deleting account then adding again-- no luck!  Please help!!

    CAn someone please tell me how to fix my email problem-- all of a sudden I can't receive or send email-- it's an Apple problem-- cause I can get online-- tried the hard reset and deleting account and adding again-- no luck
    thanks

    you still didn't answer the question.... unless you mean to say that you have an AT&T e-mail account. (e.g. @att.net)
    If that's what you mean, they use Yahoo for e-mail services. Yahoo's mail servers are notoriously bad. This comes up here at least several times a week. The problem is on the Yahoo end. Trust me, the AT&T rep you spoke to doesn't know what they are talking about. Removing and re-adding the account increases the odds that you will actually hit a working server, but it's not guaranteed to do so.
    Set up a gmail account or iCloud account and consider switching.

  • My iPhone 4G died and will not turn on with hard reset.

    My iPhone 4G died and will not turn back on. I got an e-mail and then took a phone call. After ending the call I went to text, but nothing. Screen was black with no warning. I plugged it up on a charger and nothing. I tried a soft rest and a hard reset and still nothing. I have it plugged up to my computer and without it coming on it will not recognize it on iTunes to do a restore. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Is this fixable or should I write it off and replace the phone? It is 1yr and 1 month old.
    Thanks,
    John

    It's been a day and no luck, so I guess I have to get a new battery?

  • White Screen , Tried Hard Reset / Restore.

    I opened my ipod touch but after i put it back i got a white screen and i tried everything from hard reset to restoring the ipod. please help. i never tried draining the battery but i am not sure how to do that with the screen white. Please HELP!!!
    BTW i also tried the volume up+home + power button method. after all those reset, restore, methods i always get a black screen. Never a Apple Logo.
    PLEASE HELP !!!

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
