How do I get my HP Touchpad to turn on?

My Touchpad will not turn on. When i plug in the charger it still won't boot up. But it does show lights at the bottom center button flashing left, right, and back to left...then a pause and the same sequence starts again.

I read a sizable thread over at webosnation.com on the subject, and a few members report reviving their dead touchpads by using a weaker cellphone charger for a long period - one tried it for 15 hours. They said it gave the touchpad just enough juice at a trickle rate to "wake up" the charging circuitry.
Once this occurred, the regular charger was employed and the device returned to normal.

(BTW, the first post in the thread is a hardcore way to revive it - later on users report the cellphone charger method)

  • How do I get an iPod touch to turn on other than the normal way. It has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. Have tried holding the HOME button down for 30 sec. but that didn't work.

    How does one get an iPod nano to turn on other than the "normal" way? This one has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. I have tried holding down the HOME button to restart it but no go. When I connect it to my computer, I am told to enter the PASSCODE which I cannot do as there is no touchpad.

    David ..
    Your topic refers to an iPod touch
    Then you say:  How does one get an iPod nano to turn on ......
    If it's an iPod touch, try a reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, whether it's an iPod nano or touch, it probably needs service >  Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

  • How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or to charge?

    How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or charge?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    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.

  • HT4528 My Iphone 4s is plugged in charging after it has fully died. Instead of the apple appearing and staying constant on the screen...the apple is blinking. What does this mean and how do I get the phone to charge/turn back on.

    My Iphone 4s is plugged in charging after it has fully died. Instead of the apple appearing and staying constant on the screen...the apple is blinking. What does this mean and how do I get the phone to charge/turn back on.

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Next try letting the battery fully drain. After charging for a least an hour try again
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store, it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do I get google maps back and turn on location services so I don't have to use your absolutely garbage maps

    How do I get google maps back so I don't have to use apples disgusting version of an attempt at a map

    You don't. You can use Safari and go to mobile Google maps and after opening that, tap on the arrow on the bottom of the page and save it to the homescreen. That will allow you to use Google maps web app on the phone. There is a rumor that Google is working on a stand alone app for the App store however no one knows yet if it has been submitted.

  • How do I get my Synaptics touchpad's scrolling feature to work in Firefox 4 RC?

    I have two-finger scrolling on a Synaptics Clickpad V7.4. It works properly in every other application, including the latest stable Firefox, but in Firefox 4 RC it only displays the scrolling icon and the screen does not shift.

    Got exactly the same problem on Win7 x64 with FF 4 RC on a HP DM 1100eg.
    Any chance to alter it in about:config to get it back working?
    On my other machine (same OS and FF version, different HW) it is working like a charm.
    Both notebooks have the latest Synaptic drivers installed (Synaptics_v15_2_7_C_XP64_Vista64_Win7-64)

  • How do I get my wi-fi to turn on when vpn is on.

    I bought an ipod touch 1 generation from this person who blanked all their info off the ipod and when I downloaded my information to it. I cannot get the wifi to turn on it is on vpn and its not configured? I don't know what that means. How can I change it to wifi? The wifi button will not come on.
    Sue

    If wifi is grayed our or dim see:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    Frequently it is due to a hardware problem
    If that is not you problem, please explain your problem better.

  • How do I get my iPhone to stop turning on cellular data for apps on its own?

    I have tried resetting on the iphone and resetting all settings. Nothing seems to be working. So far the only improvement is that my iphone stopped turning on cellular data for other apps but now, interestingly, it's turning on cellular data for all apple designed apps,e.g. Pages, App Store, Itunes Store, Facetime, Contacts, Calendar, Mail etc. Everytime I try to turn them off, it doesn't work. Please Help!!
    P.S. My phone is running ios7.

    Follow these directions, but pay attention to comment 1 regarding drafts. Best instructions I've seen on how to set gmail up as IMAP.

  • How do I get an SCXI-1121 to turn on its output analog voltage?

    I don't know if this is operator error or a hardware problem. I have never used an SCXI-1121 before to provide power to an instrument. The incoming signal on the 1121 responds like a champ when I drive the instrument from an external power supply, indicating all the connections are good. However, I guess I don't know the right Labview .vi to turn on the excitation voltage. Please help! Thanks, Bill

    Bill-
    A couple questions:
    1) What sensor are you trying to measure?
    2) What kind of excitation does it require?
    3) Do you have NI-DAQ installed?
    4) How are you reading this voltage?
    5) Have you configured the chassis and data acquisition device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
    The best way to troubleshoot problems of this nature is in MAX. You can create a virtual channel and test it in MAX. To create a virtual channel, right click on the Data Neighborhood folder. Select create new, then NI-DAQmx global channel. Follow that wizard to create your custom channel. Then you can test it there (green test button).
    Another thought, does your device require more current or voltage excitation than the SCXI 1121 can provide?
    Voltage Excitation: 10V or 3.33V
    Current Excitation: .15mA or .45mA
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I get Mass Storage Mode Support turned on my BB?

    Okay I am sure there is a way to do this but I have not yet found it. under media card in the setup options I have the following:
    Media Card support set to yes
    Encryption Mode: Security Password and Device
    Encrypt Media Files Yes
    Mass Storage Mode Support: is off with a little red lock by it.
    I really need to be able to change it to on, any ideas? My IT support team does not have a clue of how to turn it on.
    thanks in advance Glenn Thomas..  

    If there is a lock icon next to it you can't enable mass storage mode. It means that the setting is forced via IT Policy. The IT Policy is pushed to every device that is connected to a BES server.

  • If I move my wacom pen tool on the screen I get a yellow note. How do I get rid of it or turn it off?

    I just installed OS X Mountain Lion. I have a wacom pad and pen. When I move the pen to highlight text, or move the cursor anywhere on the screen, a yellow lined sheet note shows up and a scribble (the pen movement) is shown in black. If I click elsewhere the yellow sheet enlarges by adding on sections. I have to click on a blank place on the web page or the border to clear the sheet away.
    Where is this coming from and how do I disable this automatic note? It shows up on web pages, MS word documents, email box, windows, QuarkXpress and Photoshop documents as well. Help! It's very annoying!
    Thanks,

    I discovered that in System Preferences in the Hardware section there is an item called Ink. I opened it up and turned off the Handwriting recognition. That stopped it from becoming active everytime I dragged my pen tool. When I installed the OS X Mt. Lion, it had automatically turned on.
    Problem solved.

  • How do I get past the request to turn off Itunes.

    Hi people,
    Sorry if this question has already been answered. I tried to find some help on the forum but the question may have been asked a different way and I couldn't find it.
    So my problem, I have downloaded xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg and it is sitting in my downloads folder.
    I have a Mac Mini with Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
    According to all messages, everything should be fine for me to install.
    So I click on the .dmg file and it churns away for a while showing various progress messages. All goes well until it has about 2 minutes to go. Then a popup appears that says I must shut down ITunes before the install can finish. Well, I don't have ITunes running.
    I have checked everything I can to make sure there is nothing connected that may somehow be accessing ITunes. I have even re-booted the computer and done nothing but run the install. It still stops at 2 minutes and says I have to shut down ITunes.
    The only way I have been able to get out of the popup is to force a shutdown using the Apple icon on the top left of my computer screen.
    Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get xcode to install?
    Thanks
    EastWind

    You must close:
    - iTunes
    - Simulator
    - Xcode
    - Application Loader
    ...and...run Activity Monitor, locate and kill 'iTunes Helper', then try installing again.
