GX 640 Notebook powers on, but nothing happens
Bought GX 640 about 4 years ago. Computer ran fine up until today. I leave my computer on all day every day without issue.
The computer is never moved- stays in one place all of the time as a desktop replacement.
Computer lights are on (harddrive activity indicator, num-lock, caps etc.) but only minor hard drive activity and then nothing. Screen remains black.
I unplugged PC and took out battery- pressed power button for 30 seconds, put battery back in and plugged in and still the same thing.
I am guessing video card.
How much would a new video card cost and would MSI do it?
Well when my video card on my GT70 blew (did this 2 times) my whole unit was dead as in no power light, hdd light, no boot, no go. Totally dead. Could you have a back light issue? You tried plugging the unit into external monitor, if you don't have one a HDMI tv will work.
I admit I know nothing about your model so symptoms may be different, you have a discrete video card in yours?

Hp 2000-de powers on but nothing happens
So I have a HP2000-2C25DX /Win8.1. It is still under warranty according to HP checker thing, as I bought it July/2013 and it is now Jan/2014. So anyway, last night I was sitting with the laptop on my lap researching stocks while watching Shark Tank on CNBC. So I was sitting there, not even touching the laptop, suddenly, 'poof', screen goes blank (not black), power is on, screen is backlit, wifi is blue, power light is blue, but nothing on the screen. Turn power off, turn power on, same thing, wifi on, power light on, screen on but blank, fan on, cd drive spins, one beep and nothing.
So unplug again, take battery out, hold power button on for 15 secs to do hard reset. Plug ac power back in, leave battery out, same thing, wifi light comes on, power light is blue, cd drive spins, one beep, then nothing. Screen is backlit but absolutly nothing happens, can't boot to anything, not safe mode, not help, not nothing!!!!!!

HELP!Hi
That seems like a potential video cable issue to me. The cable is generally routed via the left or right hinge dependent on model. As you mentioned the screen going blank when you pulled the screen forward then it points in that direction.
It's better to use the warranty now to get it fixed. The repair is not difficult but it is time consuming as you will need to strip down the laptop by removing the keyboard, touchpad/palmrest etc to allow access to the cable on the motherboard. Then you will need to gain access to the screen end by removing the bezel etc. I would definitely contact HP and get it booked in with one of their engineers.
I hope that helps -
I have ab HP 3250 e all in one printer. I have downloaded the software and installed on my Mac Book Air running OS X Mavericks. When I try to print from the Mac Book it shows that it is printing but nothing happens at the printer end. Why?
For some reason I cannot synch my iPhone notes with the Mac Book. How dodo I do this?
How do I change my primary email address on the Mac Book?Hello Bruarong,
It sounds like you are unable to print to your printer from Mac OS X Lion. I recommend the troublehsooting from the article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device. On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb. I enabled file sharing. And also followed all the steps - "secured disk access: with a disk passord", "Airport disk guest access: read and write", "Share disks over WAN". But nothing happens. If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine. How do I fix it? Also, its connected via a powered usb hub.
I assume that you are using Mac operating system 10.4.11, as your profile indicates.
The instructions that you referenced are for use with AirPort Utility....not AirPort Admin Utility.
Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac , which will run on 10.4.11.
Also noticed that the instructions do not tell you that the hard drive should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme, but they should. -
My HP Envy h8-1417c Powers up, but nothing shows up on the screen
When I power up my Envy the green light comes on, everything sounds the way it normally does, but nothing appears on the screen. This has happened before but I didn't address it at the moment, went out of town and returned with it working just fine. Not sure what the problem can be. Please help!

My itunes account doesn't list "devices" above the playlist, as the syncing instructions give. How can I sync the itunes I have purchased & downloaded to my computer, to my ipod shuffle? The device is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens. Shouldn't the computer recognize the device? It doesn't. Please help!
As a test, shut down your computer and disconnect ALL USB devices. Do this procedure to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop). Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer. See if there's any improvement,
If the shuffle is now recognized, there may have been a USB device conflict previously, or maybe all of the devices connected at the same time overloads the USB bus (for power). An iPod charges its battery while connected, so it is a high-power USB device. -
I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.
Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it. Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer. Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message? -
I just got it back from the apple store and they reset it (becuase it kept shutting down and not turning back on).
I put in a new password because i needed to start over from factory settings, but now it doesnt let me log in anymore. (I don't know if this is because it doesnt accpet my password, or I forgot my password in less than 5 minutes, or because when i typed in my new password, i typed it in wrong twice)
Command R doesnt work, all i hear is a sound, but nothing happens.What I don't understand is why it is rejecting a password I am creating.
Perhaps the password you are creating is too short, or has characters that are not allowed, or is not secure enough because it is a word in a dictionary.
FileVault may have standards for what it considers an acceptable password. If the password is part of the 128-bit encryption scheme, it might have to be 16 characters, for example. (Don't know if that is true, but it's a possibility.) Check your documentation for password requirements. -
I have a few problems...
I wanted to make a partition to install windows, I tried to use bootcamp 5 where it wanted to partition and install windows at the same time. I do not have a cd of windows but instead had it on a flash drive. Bootcamp couldn't find it. Instead I was reading forums and found that there was another way to install windows by partioning your harddrive using the disk utility, downloading the bootcamp drivers, and installing rEFIt (an app that when starting the compouter a menu would come up to boot windows from the flashdrive). I try that and the windows install screen gets me to the point where I pick a partition. I attempt to pick the partitioned drive but a message comes up telling me that "this is of the GPT partition style" and windows cannot be installed on the drive.
So now I went back to disk utility and deleted the partition but there is still blank space. I wanted to retry and install windows through bootcamp (somehow) but a message comes up that there cannot be any partitions or that a partition must be created using bootcamp. SO i keep trying to drag the partition over the blank space and hit apply but nothing happens.
By the way I was trying to install windows 8 pro, some forums would say that you cant install win8 however I found others that said you could. How do I fix my partition and how do I use bootcamp to install windows (preferrably 8)?Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace -
I have a mac book pro. Yesterday the mail app failed to open. I have tried to open it from the dock and the application folder but nothing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions to get it to work?
You don't need iDVD unless you are going to make DVDs. If you are just trying to share files, iDVD won't help you at all.
What you want to do is in iMovie, choose File/Share/File, and export that way. It creates an .mp4 file that should be readable on Macs or Windows.
You could also File/Share/YouTube if you don't mind posting them to YouTube, because of course YouTube videos are watchable by any Mac or Windows computer made in the last 10 years. -

I found out that an 06 mac pro cannot be updated to anything more recent than lion. They guys at the local shop told me this after they tried to update it for me so I could run logic pro 9 in 64 bit mode. I bought lion. Waited two days for the emails. Spent hours following the instructions which sounded so simple until you try them. Finally I found the "redeem" button that was hidden because the size of my safari window was too small to show it and there was no bar at the bottom to scroll over. Without googling "how do you find the app store" and "how do you find quick links" I never would have figured it out. I only mention this so that others may learn from my mistakes. Finally I downloaded lion, supposedly, but nothing happened. There is no indication that anything downloaded, other than the fact that when I try to download it again, it says it's already been downloaded. I spent four hundred bucks at the shop updating, plus whatever they charged me for lion, and I've still got snow leopard and logic pro running at 32 bits. I'm pretty sure nobody can help me, but could you please arrange for the return of my time?
You can go to "Purchases" tab and check again.
If OS X Lion is still not downloading, try at a different network environment.
By the way, Mac Pro (2006) with a newer graphics card runs Mavericks perfectly with modifications in the installer.
It's not allowed to be discussed here, but you can simply google how to do it.
