Pavilion 25xi has power button lock out and keeps turning itself off
My Pavilion 25xi has the message "power button lock out" and we have tried holding it for 10 seconds (hard with a swipe button). We have also disconnected the power for 30 sec and then reconnected. All these to no avail. It also id prone to turning itself off and when the screen is reset, there are no icons and none of the programs on the task bar are able to be opened. This means turning the who;le computer on and off, thus losing any work on the computer that was in process. Help!

My power button / lock button on my ipod touch is stuck what do i do?
^^^^^^
Believe it or not, if the power button is not related to a more serious issue. You can take it to an Apple Store, remember to set a genius appointment at http://www.apple.com/retail/, and get it unstuck for free, or call 800-676-2775 for help. If its more of an issue, they will tell you at the store and how much it will cost to repair if your device isn't under warranty. Also, you can trade it in for credit toward a new ipod touch. Hope this helps.

I do not have apple care nor insurance for my iPod so i'm wondering how much it will cost? or will they just replace it with a refurbrished one?
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. If only battery is bad the exchange price is $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and do the exchange there

HT1384 My lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch is broken, and I need some assistance.
As the title suggests, I can not use the lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch, it is broken. I can use Adaptive Touch to turn the screen on and off at will, and also turn my device off. But if I turn it off, I don't know how to get it to turn back on. Could I just plug it into a charger and turn it back on, or would I need to plug it into my computer? Please help, in a few days I won't have access to it for 9 weeks, I need immediate help.
If you power off the iPod, it will turn back on if you connect it to a charger like a wall charger or a computer. I just checked with a charging source to confirm. I knew it did it with a computer.

MBP locks, thus force shutdown w/ Power button, then catastrophic app probs
I have had two unexpected system lock ups which may be releated to low battery power, but have then caused catastrophic application problems. I do not want answers to the individual application problems here, I will refer to other Apple Support pages and forums for those. I'm interested in other users experience of the same catastrophic failures, if at all.
Event 1. (OSX 10.4.8)
I was using the MPB on battery and I knew the power was running low, afraid I can't remember how low but I'm sure it was below 10%. Without warning iPhoto crashed with an exception popup which said that it was related to low power - I didn't note the exact wording. The machine remained on, but I couldn't do anything with it, so I had to shut it down by holding down the power button.
When I next used it, it seemed much of the applications I had had running at the time had all got corrupted;
- iPhoto: my library was gone next time I opened it. All the photo files are still there but some complain they are corrupted when trying to view them. I'd been using iPhoto at the time and rotating a lot of photos. Photos loaded and rotated in that session seemed to have survivied, ones unrotated complain of corruption when I try to view them. Other threads have suggested I need to do a complete rebuild.
- Dashboard: my whole set up has gone and it has reverted to a vanilla original set up.
- Trackpad: my settings had all disappeared and I had to set it up from scratch again.
- Skype: It no longer remembered my login details. This I found interesting as it is not an Apple app.
Event 2. (After 10.4.9 upgrade)
The second time I had left the MBP plugged in and in sleep mode, so it should have been well charged. A friend unplugged it to use the socket. When I went to use it it was still asleep. It was asleep and unplugged no more than 24 hours but my experience is it can live like this for days, so it should not have drained all power.
I could wake it but I have a password set and the system would not register the key presses I made for the pwd in the pwd box. ie. no *'s appeared each time I typed. The MBP was working because as I tried to wake it by doing various key presses I obviously did something which made it play a track from my iTunes library which had been running when I last put it to sleep.
Eventually again I had to shut it down using the power button. This time when I started it up I had the following;
- iTunes: It said my library was corrupted and it had to rename it and set it aside and create a new one, all my Music is there but it looks like I will have to rebuild.
- Mail: When I started Mail this time it requested I set up a mail account as if it was the first time I had used it. It looks like most of my mail files still exist in my Library/Mail folder but I somehow need to recover the mail account.
- Messenger: my icon I used doesn't work and it has defaulted to the icon associated with my MBP account I log in with. I understand this could be because the image I used for my icon came from my iPhoto library and it doesn't take a copy.
I am half way through recalibrating my battery as suggested elsewhere in these forums. After this I will reset the PMU/SMC. However after days of trawling the forums I have yet to find anyone describes problems like these, so I have reluctantly decided to start a new thread to see if anyone has had similar experiences.
My MBP is 5 months old, bought at the London Apple Store in Nov 2006.

Intel MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9)I came to a similar conclusion after trying Disk Utility. It said the disk needs to be reformatted. Unfortunately, I've not been doing TimeMachine backups for 2-3 months due to problems I had with it. one of those "I'll take care of that sometime soon" things where soon doesn't get here.
Right now I'm getting ready to hook up the backup drive and see what I can rescue.

While I'm using safari, it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
My iphone 4 lock screen/power button just stopped working. nothing spilled on it and not been dropped. Any idea why it stopped working?

I have no idea why it stopped working. But why it failed does not matter.
Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working. -
i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???
Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement. -
Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You
Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!
