Equium L40-14I does not power up if its cold

When I push the power button down when the machine is cold, the green power lights come on for about 2 seconds and then go off. If I give the laptop a bit of gentle heat for a about 30 seconds the laptop starts first time and runs perfectly until the machine is turned off. The laptop is Equium L40-14I
Hope somebody can help with this weird problem.

Appreciate the reply.
I did put another tested lead into the laptop and it still does the same thing.
I bought this as reconditioned a couple of years or so ago for my wife to use and practice on. Its had a couple of problems along the way. I changed the hard drive and the shop that sold it to me got the keyboard working again (well after the 3 months warranty had run out). One day it was working ok the next it developed this weird ritual.
I am not a technician but I have had this thing to bits and put it back to again with the help of the videos on YouTube, so I will have ago if a possible solution to the fault is found.

  • Equium L40 - internet does not work if I open more than one website

    I have an Equium L40-10X and although the system runs fine, it does not like the internet. If I open more than one website, a little box comes up saying that Internet Explorer has incurred a problem and that it must be restarted. This is becoming excruciatingly annoying if I am in the middle of something important and I lose the website that I was on!
    Especially with me going off to uni soon too! It especially will refuse to work if I need to download something e.g. I recently bought an Apple iPod Nano, and I needed iTunes in order for me to put music on it, but as soon as it starts the download, the "internet has stopped working" box pops up and I have to start everything again, but instead of it working -it simply does not!
    This is becoming an often occurrence, and it makes me incredibly stressed!
    Please help.

    Hi
    Do you always use the up to date windows OS?
    Such errors appear if the registry is dirty and the WinOS was not updated!
    Update the Windows on the Microsoft page to the latest state!!
    Furthermore you should clean the registry using the freeware tool called CCleaner. Its nice!
    So finally one hint;
    You can access the internet not only with Microsoft Internet Explorer but also with another internet browser like for example Firefox.
    I recommend checking such possibility.
    regards

  • 8800 does not power on but shows the charging symbol! HELP!

    Hello everyone,
    I have been searching for days now across the web for a solution to a very bugging situation. A'las i am close to giving up. someone please try and help. So here is the problem: I recently bought a 8800 rim (branded for cingular/AT&T but UNLOCKED) from ebay powerseller with 100% rep. it was advertised in MINt condition.
    It arrived two days later and seemed in great physical condition.
    So i plug in the charger and let it charge for more than 8 hours. I try turning it on but to no avail. During the charge the screen goes dimly on and shows a battery with an electric bolt going through (I assume that means charging..).
    It initially seemed to me as a battery problem. So i took it to a local store and borrowed one of their batteries for 8800 and the phone started working fine also made a call with my temporary T-mobile sim inserted. (although their battery was also on low charge)---
    So i come home and with a new OEM 8800 battery. plugged it in and charged for like 4 hours and the screen goes on with the charging symbol but does not power on.
    I have repeatedly searched through the WWW and came across wide variety of dilemmas but none were any helpful. I also tried installing the latest OS...which also spectacularly failed [got an error that ...loading failed during the mult-load seesion...or something like that. I followed several very well written guides [advising that the manager and OS be installed on PC and etc.].
    SO I MAKE A DESPERATE REQUEST FOR HELP FROM ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP. WHAT'S THE DIAGNOSIS WITH THIS BB. IT WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THE BORROWED BATTERY FROM A LOCAL STORE..EVEN MADE A CALL AND EVERYTHING...BUT WITH THE BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE eBay PURCHASE AND THE THE BRAND NEW THAT I BOUGHT....IT DOES NOT POWER ON.
    BESIDES HOW LONG SHOULD I BE CHARGING IF IT IS NEW OR IF THE PHONE HAS NOT BEEN IN USE FROM SOME TIME??
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.
    Please help ASAP.

    How are you charging the BlackBerry? Do you have a wall charger or are you charging via USB cable from your PC? Its also possible that the charging circut in your BlackBerry is faulty. This would explain why a charged battery works while your uncharged battery is not.

    What model iPad do you have? If it's an iPad 1, the battery may have expired and needs replacement.

  • I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly.  I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired.  I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.

    I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly.  I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired (errors were associated with boot drive)  I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. Allen's already recommended an Apple repair station visit. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located).  BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.

  • Screen/Computer does not Power Up when life the Display from being Closed

    Sometimes (not always), when i come back to my MacBook Pro and open the display after it has been closed for a bit, the screen and computer does not power back up or anything. If you look at the screen there is a very FAINT image on the screen of whatever was open when the screen was closed, but you can't do anything, nothing is responsive, etc. I have to hold down the power button until it turns off, and then right before it turns off the screen will power up for one second and then shuts off. Any ideas?

    I am having a similar issue when transitioning from my external display via the Mini Display to DVI adapter back to the internal LCD. The screen will go black, the machine will not sleep if I close the lid, and none of they key commands appear to work. The only response I can get is the caps lock key will turn off and on. When I restart the machine, I get no details on a Kernel Panic, or anything else, so wondering if it has something to do with the video drivers.

  • HT4061 HOW CAN I GET MY SERIAL NUMBER WHEN MY PHONE DOES NOT POWER ON

    ERROR 4005
    ALWAYS MAJOR TROUBLES WITH YOUR #@#@#@ UPDATE....
    Since I have done the update for IOS 7.1 my iphone 5S does not power on anylonger or more exactly remains stucked on the apple logo until there is battery...
    I am in europe right now and for 10 more days and I do not have phone anylonger.....
    I have tried to reset, restore.... connect on Itunes....
    Once the IPhone 5S is powering on by pressing both general button and the power switch more than 5 sec,
    It says please connect this iphone to Itunes for being restored,
    Once the procedure completed, extracted, loaded etc,
    then the iphone is shutting down for restarting,
    On itunes it says looking for iphone.... and you wait you wait you wait,
    the iphone is stucked on the apple logo and ?
    Nothing for then having a pop up saying "the iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4005)
    Of course I cannot provide the serial # because my telephone DO NOT WORK !
    Nothing. so frustrating.
    The connection is made with apple chords and connected to my last macbookair... nothing strange.

    Not sure why you need the serial # if you phone is locked.
    Plug it into iTunes, and you can get the serial #, and also unlock your phone.

  • Nomad Zen Xtra does not power

    I have just recieved my Zen Xtra today. But when I power it on, per the manuals proper instruction, it does not power on. I have also tried to charge the battery with the mp3 player both on & off. When I had it on the "using AC outlet" icon would show. It does seem I need a new battery. But I fear something else, could the charging mechanism be dead? This player is a refurbished product by the way. It works on the AC outlet, I can transfer files to it, and I can successfully connect it to the USB port. the hard dri've sounds fine. It seems I need to buy a new battery right? Where else besides Creative.com can I buy one? Thanks.

    First, read/try the advice here
    Failing that, I would suggest buying a replacement battery. Check froogle.com (that link is set to the best deals) for a good price.

  • T61p 14.1" Does not power up

    My 14.1" T61p Type: 8891-CTO laptop does not power up.
    After my last successful use, it was sitting idle for 2-3 days with battery & AC adapter connected. When I turned it on nothing came up, no battery charging light or display. I do not have mini/advanced dock.
    So far I've tried the followings:
    1.) Removed Battery & switched on with AC adapter (with & without circuit breaker)
    2.) Removed AC adapter & switched on with Battery
    3.) Removed HDD, RAM, DVD Drive one at a time & again used step 1 & 2 with no luck.
    I bought it new in Dec'07 & still under warranty. I have never used Lenovo support before but from what I've read, their on-phone support sucks.
    a.) Have you faced similar problem or know the solution?
    b.) Does Lenovo have any local repair center in NJ or NC where I can physically carry the machine & get it fixed?
    c.) What will be the fastest/sure-shot way of getting it fixed?
    Thank you!

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok! It's fixed! I disconnected AC, removed the battery. Then, I took out / reinserted the MEMORY CARDS. As soon as I plugged in the AC, VIOLA!  Indicator lights were on.  I replaced the battery. I powered up the pc -- battery showed only 2% juice.  Moral of the story:  if you leave the pc in hibernate (prolly sleep mode too) for an extended period without plugging in, the battery will lose juice and the pc memory will remain in the previous mode, unable to register when AC is available.  Not ideal, but what I think that's what it is.  OR - someone else suggested that the PC needed a longer time to recharge after wasting all the battery juice -- and that I should've been more patient. But, the PC had been on the AC for 2 hours and no indicator lights were on, which made seemed to indicate that the PC was unable to register that it was attached to the AC power.  I needed to get some work done, so I was ready to try anything. When in doubt, take the mem cards out. And reset them.

  • Ipod does not power up unless plugged in

    My ipod touch does not power up unless plugged in or connected to the computer.  It is fully charged and when I unplug from the power outlet or computer it will stay on for a minute and then turn off again.  It only shows the apple icon when I try to turn it on unplugged and then turns back off.

    Likey the battery is dead.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Power button lights up  for a few seconds but does not power up

    Hello
    my computer froze up so i shut it down via the power button but now it does not power on when pressing the power button the button lights up but as soon I let go the light goes out and nothing happens not noise form the computer
    anybody can help.

    Hi, racb -
    Try resetting the PMU - Article #HT1939 - Resetting CUDA/PMU
    Also, it may be time to replace the internal battery. Those batteries have an expected life of about 4 to 5 years; leaving the machine disconnected from live power regularly or for an extended period can reduce that time a lot. You can get a replacement at places like RadioShack for about US$18, cheaper on-line.

  • [SOLVED (Arch is a great community)] Thinkpad x220 does not power off

    My thinkpad x220 does not power off, it goes through the whole shutdown process as expected until reaching the last step where it displays "> POWER OFF" and just sits there until the battery is empty or I force the power off by using the power button.
    I don't know what's wrong or where to start looking for clues.
    The same happens when rebooting, it displays "> REBOOTING" and sits there.
    Occasionally on reboot attempts I have additional messages from iwlwifi:
    iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Queue 9 stuck for 10000 ms.
    iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Current read_ptr 28 write_ptr 29
    iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: On demand firmware reload
    iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Could not load the INST uCode section
    iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Failed to start RT ucode: -110
    iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Unable to initialize device
    -edit-
    Not sure if this could be related but my thinkpad has the particularity of having a renice x3 mSATA SSD that I installed myself.

    This is what you're looking for : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33872
    I've had this issue before, also on my X220. The solution was to remove the e1000e driver before shutdown. I've placed a command that does something like "rmmod e1000e" in a configuration file that runs it on shutdown, and it fixed the problem. I forget where this file is though... Hopefully someone else can fill the gap =]

  • Satellite Pro 440 CDT does not power up

    Hi, I have an old 440 CDT which does not power up. Anyone any ideas???
    AC is connected, power light is on, green. Battery is dead (as in buried). When I press the power button, the following happens:
    - On light is green
    - Num lock key (the one with the "A" on it) flashes 3 times: long-short-short
    - HDD light flashes on 1 time, green
    - CD light flashes on 1 time, orange
    - Popping sound in the speakers
    Then it turns off again, with the power light burning green constantly.
    Nothing happens on the display (tried FN F5). I also switched CD/floppy, attached both, with or without battery, no help.
    I am puzzled, please help!
    thx, Eric

    Hello Eric
    Like you know, on this way it is not possible to give any precise diagnostic, just speculate what the problem can be. In my opinion it is definitely because of defective electronic on board but what exactly it is not easy to say. Try to contact someone who has experience with notebook repair procedure.

  • 760GM-P23 FX does not power on

    First build in a while.  I just purchased a 760GM-P23 Fx motherboard.  It does not power on.
    I installed an AMD Phenom II X6 processor, and one 8GB DDR3 memory module.  Plugged in the ATX 24-Pin power connector to JPWR1, and the ATX 4-pin connector to JPWR2.
    Power supply does not turn on -- fan does not run.
    Disconnected both power connections, shorted pins 13+14, confirmed the power supply works.  Tried also with a spare power supply, neither works.
    The motherboard is sitting on a non-conductive surface -- a painter's tarp on the workbench.
    Is there something else I should try before returning to store for a replacement?
    Thanks

     Double check your connections to JFP1, are the case switches and LED(s) connected to the correct pins? Short pins 6-8 JFP1 with a small screwdriver or whatever as a test and see if PSU starts up.
