DV9000 Power stays on all the time

Hi all, I just did the Nvidia reflow, tedious process, but it worked.  Now however my laptop comes on as soon as the battery is inserted, and will not power down!  I removed and re-seated the power ribbon cable, but same thing.  The only way to power down is remove the battery.  Is it the ribbon cable?
Thanks!
John

The power supply is pretty much sealed, so I doubt any screw could get in there. Can you hear anything moving around in it when you pick it up and shake it? Try reseting your PMU.

  • Screen stays on all the time power savings set up

    My imac's screen stays on all the time now once I upgraded snow leopard to 10.6.3 it has been doing this since I got the settings so that the screen turns off 3 minutes after inactivity but the screen never turns off now.
    the only time the screen turns off is when front row is running.
    Any ideas?

    That is a bit quick to turn off the display from inactivity but that would be a personal choice. I let mine run for at least 10 minutes before the Screen Saver activates and then another ten minutes before turning off the display.
    Try resetting the PRAM and the Systems Management Controller.
    Reset the PRAM
    • (Re)start the computer
    • Immediately press & hold the CommandOption+PR keys
    • Wait for two startup chimes
    • Release the keys and allow the computer to boot.
    Reset the SMC
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Detach the computer's power cord.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Reattach the computers power cable.
    • Turn on the computer.

  • HT4381 apple tv, does the light stay on all the time, or is there a way to turn off the apple tv when not in use?

    the light on the apple tv stay on all the time? is there a way to turn it off or put it on stand by?

    No, it doesn't need to stay on all the time. You can leave it on if you want, since it uses little power, or you can go into settings and select sleep. You can also use the remote to achieve this (hold the select button for 5 secs)

  • Voicemail icon stays on all the time

    My voicemail icon keeps showing there is 1 voicemail.  When I sign in to my voicemail, it is empty, but the icon and message that there is 1 voicemail stays on all the time.

    Samsung Galaxy SIII (SCH-1535), Android 4.1.3, Kernel3.0.31-1152558 (09/23/13)
    My solution was to:
    - Access the phone's Settings
    - Go to Application manager
    - Roll over to 'All' applications
    - Select the red Verizon Voicemail app
    - Clear Data
    - Back one menu to the green Verizon Phone app
    - Clear Data
    - Exit the Settings back to Home
    - Turn the phone completely off and back on again
    The notification icon for me is gone. Finally.

  • N95 8GB camera light stay on all the time

    I have had the N95 for 5 months and have been very pleased with it. I have now developed a problem with the camera light. not sure how or when it happened. Other than the fact the camera light stays on all the time, the only way to get the light off is to remove the battery...!!!
    Is there a simple solution or does this need to be returned for repair

    Hi I've been having this same problem this week! I'm going to wipe my phone and re-install the software update and see if that works, otherwise it's off to Vodaphone to be repaired
    It's strange it's just suddenly started doing it, and it's been a while since I first installed the latest update, when it came out.

  • GPRS or Wifi stay connected all the time

    I am in a big dilemma. A few days back the GPRS or Wi-Fi connection always connects on its own and stays connected for hours! It used to connect only when required (exchange or Push mail set to synchronize every 30 minutes). It used to connect, check mails and disconnects automatically. But now, it stays on all the time. I checked all my mail connections and they are all set to check mails every 30 minutes. I made sure there are no apps running in the background also.
    I called Nokia care and their suggestion is to format the phone and try. But I have so many pics, videos and data that I do not want to format.
    A better solution (than hard reset/format) is always welcome.
    Thanks.

    Hi Pravin. Although it does not transfer any data, my concern was the connection always being active and battery life getting shortened. Anyways, the connection always being on according to me is a bug.
    After I did the factory reset, I came to a conclusion that it was one of the emails that I had configured (5 email accounts + 1 exchange account) and one of the email accounts was hanging this.
    It is much better now after a factory reset.

  • Just purchased an 11" Mac Book Air, and I'm using it as a desktop. Is it ok to lea the power adapter connected all the time?

    I'm using my macbook air as a desktop unit, with an auxiliary flat panel display, as well as an external storage drive and a CD/dvd drive. Is it safe to leave the power adapter connected to the computer all the time? Will the battery life get affected or shortened by being fully charged all the time?

    Apple recommends that for best battery life, you allow the battery to discharge occasionally.

  • Camera flash stays on all the time

    I dropped my iphone and the camera is on all the time. I've turned the phone off and the light stays on.  I've also taken some pictures. Any help I would be indebted !!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    Otherwise, Out of Warranty replacement from Apple for $149US.  Dropping it has most likely damaged the device.

  • Apple TV stays on all the time? Gets really hot.

    Should it just be left on all the time? Mine seems really hot. Is this safe?

    Funny because when I do the same thing iTunes never looses the connection with AppleTV. Even with the light off, I can select AppleTV from the iTunes devices and manage the content. My experience has shown that AppleTV never sleeps or turns off.
    correct. itunes still does detect it.
    it appears the peoples definition of sleep differs somewhat.
    i class "sleep" as being in a device in a state where it is using less power than it would when in normal use.
    putting the appletv to "sleep" by holding power/pause for 5 seconds lowers the power consumption... so in my eyes this is "sleep".
    the appletv certainly does "hibernate", but it does "sleep".

  • Shall I keep power plug on all the time?

    Shall I keep power cord plugged on all the time for my MacBook Pro 2011?

    You can keep the MBP plugged in whenever possible.
    But once or twice a month  you should run it on battery
    until battery runs down to about 40%.
    Best.
