HELP! eMac Keeps Dying

I have had my daughter's eMac in repair three times now and am my wit's end. Every time I turn it on, it works for a while, and then when I cold boot, the power button will not turn the computer back on. And then we go back to the Apple store again for repairs. What in the heck is happening? I have never ever had these problems with other computers. Any ideas???

John Brasher,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
What's been repaired or replaced? What repairs did the repair shop report on the three occasions they've had it? Have they replaced the power switch itself? (The pins on the wire connecting the button to the motherboard are reported easy to bend.)
You may want to check the Apple: Find Service website and check if there are alternate service providers in your area.

  • My emac keeps freezing!!! any help please

    Hello, my emac keeps freezing. I tried to use the first aid and got this message.
    "Repair attempted on two volumes,
    1 HFS volume repaired
    1 volume could not be repaired"
    I can't reistall the Os because my installation disk is scratched.
    any help please

    You should check to see if your capacitors are bad. My eMac started having this exact same problem about a month ago and I finally just took it apart the other day and looked at it and there's two or three bad capacitors (bulging, one slightly leaking brown), so I'm going to have my much-more-experienced-with-soldering dad try to replace them with ones we ordered. Hopefully they work!
    I'd check and see if this is the problem, then if it is, you will need to either replace the bad capacitors yourself, get someone experienced to do it, or buy a new board, which may cost far more than the eMac would be worth if it was working right anyway.
    Of course, you can just scrap it and keep the hard drive and DVD drive and RAM. eMacs are getting kinda old nowadays. I went from an eMac 1.25 GHz to a Mac mini 2.0 GHz and it is sooooooooo much better. No more Flash headaches (or at least less of them), and everything runs so much smoother.
    Best of luck.

  • My I phone 4 keeps dying and I keep restoring it and now I don't even have a decent downloaded Itunes on my computer? When it is about to dye it turns a Sepia color than keeps rerouting. Help please?

    I phone keeps dying I have had it since 12/2012, Christmas past 2 months started dying and then keeps trying to reroute, I have restored it 20 or more times. Right before it dyes the screen turns Sepia Brown and then nothing. Now computer is telling me that Itunes is corrupted. Any ideas???  Much appreciated and Thank You.

    Sounds like an impending failure of the phone. Try to get a good backup of all data and photos. Then Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Jst bought an iphone 5s and 5c battery keeps dying have noticed a lot of people have had this issue for awhile but I haven't seen any real fix. ???

    I just bought a 5s and the battery keeps dying. I have noticed several people have had this same problem for awhile but I haven't really seen a fix.
    I am loosing about 1% every 2 min as well. not very tech savy but I did turn off the LTE. I did originally let phone die all the way then charge all the way.
    Have only had for 3 days should I start with taking it back and replacing? or does everyone think this is a software fix we are all gonna have to wait for ?
    Thanks

    You can try this link for some help http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/. I do not see my iPhone 5s behaving in this manner, so there has to be some settings that you are using that are giving you problems. Did you restore this phone from an older iPhone backup? If so, you might want to restore the device as new and start over and sync over individual parts to see what might be bad.

  • Why does my fully charged iPad 2 battery keep dying at 50% charge? I have updated to iOS 7 and this started happening. What could be the cause of it?

    My iPad's battery keeps dying. When I plug it in and put it back on, the screen shows a drained battery. After a few moments it boots up. However, when I check the battery charge, it's at 52% or so. Can someone tell me what's causing this? And what can I do to fix it?

    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • HELP I keep getting an error message on my IPHONE 4 that says Unable to connect to Cellular Data. How do I fix this?

    HELP I keep getting an error message on my IPHONE 4 that says Unable to connect to Cellular Data and I have tried to reset network settings and factory reset but nothing helping so far. Took it to Verizon and they couldn't fix it either, said it's a problem with the phone itself and to contact Apple. My warranty is expired so Apple isn't much help either. How do I fix this? I have a data package so confused and I have had my phone for over a year but never had this issue before.

    I am getting this message also.... mine cant update too...

  • Adapter Keeps Dying

    Why do my adapters keep dying? I've had 2 croak in the last four months. At $80 a pop, this is getting pretty costly.
    Any way to fix these stupid little things?
    About to turn a loyal Mac owner (20+ years) into a bitter ex-Mac owner. FEH!

    Welcome to the Apple discussion forums.
    Are you using the 3 prong, with grounding, plug? Is it always plugged into the same outlet? Could there be a quality of electricity issue that's toasting your adapter? If that's possible, you may want to invest in a device that moderates the electricity into a narrower band, which also provides buffer against power spikes. There are a number of them on the market for computers.

  • Messaging Bridge keeps dying

    I am using weblogic 10.3 on sunos and i am seeing this issue where the messaging bridges keep dying ever so often(once or twice a week). I have over 15 servers in the weblogic domain but out of them only 2-3 messaging bridges die at random. The issue is compounded by the fact that the weblogic logs say unable to connect to source destination will retry later but weblogic never retries. I can't see any configuration where i can configure duration and number of retries for messaging bridges. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Ok is there a way anyone knows of by which we can reset the messaging bridge from the admin console without having to restart the managed server?
