HP 6735b won't power up anymore

My HP 6735b no longer powers up, with or without the battery.
The battery led flashes 8 times and then the system switches off. The
power led does not come on at all. Even with the laptop closed (ie
screen down) and the AC plugged in with no battery inserted. No beep
codes are heard either.
It started as an intermittent fault, and progressively worsened until it
just would not start.
I replaced the RTC battery but to no avail. I also replaced the power adapter brick and cables, got the DC jack professionally replaced and inspected the motherboard and still nothing.
I have read a few times lately that replacing the inverter board can fix this problem. I don't know how that would be because that is part of the video screen and not the initial power startup. Or am I wrong. I hope I am because the inverter is a affordable fix.

Good news. I went back to the Microsoft Store and met with someone different. He looked at my computer and said since it had only been 3 months, he'd swap it out with a new one, swap out my hard disc, and restart my Complete Care warranty. So that was great! He did it right in front of me. I told him the other guy the other day said they couldn't do that and he said he'd have a talk with him. They don't know what caused the other problem, but said it seemed related to it not holding a charge.
Also, he said he was able to remove the warped screw because he had another, slightly bigger, screwdriver.

  • IMac won't power up anymore

    Hi,
    for a couple of days now, my iMac (Core 2 Duo, 8 months old) won't start up anymore when I press the power button. However, if I press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, then press it again, the computer will start. Has anyone seen this before?
    I know the trick of pressing/holding the power-button to force shut-down. So could this in fact mean my iMac didn't shut down properly? Just guessing.
    iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    To shutdown your iMac go to: "Apple / Shutdown" from
    the drop down menu bar.
    To sleep your iMac go to: "Apple / Sleep" from the
    drop down menu bar or the auto sleep funtion!
    Using the power button to shutdown the iMac can cause
    loss of data, file corruption and damage to your HD.
    Go to: "Apple / System Preferences / Energy Saver /
    Options" Look at "Allow power button to sleep the
    computer" If the the box is checked then the power
    button will sleep the computer the first time you
    push it, then hard shutdown the next time you push
    it.

    I know... But what's that got to do with my (possible) SMC failure? I wonder, apart from this:

    Is there any "hard reset" that could fix it? Or does my iMac need repair?

  • Thinkpad Yoga won't power up anymore

    I was using my Thinkpad Yoga today (Quicken) and then suddenly, the screen went blank, the fan started making noise, and that was it. Can't power it up or down.
    I've had it 3 months. I was watching 24 on it last night. Since the battery is inaccessible, there was no way to turn it off. I called Microsoft Tech Support and they were useless I took it into the Aventura Mall Microsoft Store but they said they can't fix it they can only send it out which will take weeks.
    I have the Complete Care plan, mind you.
    I tried unscrewing the bottom myself. I still couldn't get it off, but the fan noise at stopped. I tried hooking up to power and turning it on, but it still won't turn on. 
    Help please, other than taking it to Microsoft Store who said it will take weeks to repair.

  • My Ipad 2 won`t turn off anymore

    Hello,
    my Ipad 2 64GB Wi-Fi won`t turn off anymore. IOS 5.1.1  
    When i slide the button it shuts down only to restart itself after few seconds.
    Tried allready 10 seconds Power/Home button for reboot. Made a restore like new trough iTunes also. 
    It would turn off only when pluged in charger, or attached to PC.
    Any ideas ?
    Btw. i`m in Europe now, is  Apple warranty international or? ( Ipad bought in US)
    Thanks!

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
    You must see the Apple logo.

  • Just won't start up anymore.

    A Duel 2 GHz G5 won't start up anymore. After and if it restarts, it keeps asking me it can't find Mouse and wants to search for Bluetooth mouse and such. Reset SMU and am in the process of restarting G5 at this moment. Fan is going crazy right now with blue screen just now opening. At least I am getting the blue screen. Before I was finally getting desktop but nothing else but machine wanting to search for Bluetooth mouse and such but never consistent. Sometimes start up would take forever but never finished. Kept asking for Bluetooth mouse. Just crazy. Fan is still going crazy and still blue screen.
    Any ideas? Need help now Please!

    Had to power button shut down 10 times to finally get tray open and ran DiskWarrior. Only been two weeks since last ran but critical issues repaired. After running DW restart and same thing. Fan running like crazy and won't finish restart. Sounds like problem previous message from Michael Vejar is having.
    Will have to force shut down and take in to store for further work.

  • My ipod touch won't turn on anymore!!!

    MY IPOD TOUCH WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE!!
    I don't know what happened. but I am beginning to think apple is ripping me and everyone off.
    I don't know why I paid about 200-300 dollars for this iPod to be frozen or not turn on anymore!
    When I downloaded Currency converter pro, it just froze my ipod.
    Either it's that problem, or something is wrong.
    I never dropped it in water or anything bad.
    PLEASE HELP.

    Have you've tried holding down the power button for several seconds?
    If so and you're still getting nothing you may have to do a hard restore.
    here's how to do it on Mac OS:
    1. Connect you're iPod to the computer with the sync cable, and open iTunes.
    2. Hold down the power and home buttons for 10seconds, then release the power button (continue holding the home button for about another 6-8 seconds). iTunes should display a message stating that the iPod is in restore mode and needs to be restored before it can be used (or something to that effect).
    3.Hitting the restore button will likely give an error message. You'll need to hold down option and click the restore button, which will bring up a file browser. Navigate to *<your user name>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/* and choose iPod2,12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw (or similar ipsw file depending on your ipod, or iphone, generally choose the newest one) and click open.
    4. Wait for it to restore, when that's finished you should be able to further restore it using the backup that was generated when you last synced it.
    I have never done this on windoze, but I imagine it's quite similar, just not sure where you'd find the ipsw file.

  • Stereo won't power on... Bought at Circuit City years ago...

    I've had a Pioneer stereo for about 4 years. I was purchased and installed at Circuit City (r.i.p). About a week ago I left my headlights on and killed my battery (not the first time, probably not the last). Everything is working fine except now my stereo won't power on. Zip, nadda, nothing. The main fuse for the stereo isn't blown, but I understand Pioneer stereos have another fuse on the back of the unit itself?! I can't take a look because the tech at Circuit City installed this thing so tight that you'd need a blowtorch and a sledge hammer to get it out. Seriously, my car has been broken into about 5 times and no one can manage to heist it. It's covered in dents and such from the failed attempts to get it out. I had gotten a full warranty for service/removal/etc. when I bought it, which basically means nothing anymore, right? Can Best Buy help me out here at all or am I S.O.L since Circuit City no longer exists? HELP. 

    Hi Mach0006,
    Wow...sounds like that deck wasn't exactly made for your car, but nonetheless, it is installed. For life! Yes, we most certainly can help out with this. Just stop in at your nearby Best Buy and talk to the Install Bay techs. They will have a better idea of what's wrong and how to fix it. Let's hope it doesn't involved a sledge hammer and blow torch! Thanks for posting. Let us know what happens...

  • Nomad Jukebox 6GB DAP6G01 Silver: Won't power up with batteries or AC cord after years of

    My very first MP3 player won't power up with batteries or AC cord after years of use.
    I take good care of my electronics, so it was a big surprise when I couldn't power it up.
    I've read of other owners of this type of player that there could be moisture built up inside the player, but that couldn't be the case. I keep the player in a cool dry storage place when I don't use it. I use my Zen Micro and Vision a bit more now.
    Since the player has no support or warranty anymore, are there any repair facilities that could diagnose the problem the player is experiencing.
    Does anyone else have the same problem and if so, what could be done to correct it's
    Thanks a lot for any comments.

    I have swapped the RAM DIMMS around (as previously mentioned), but no amount of swapping changes the pattern of failure. I tried running with 1GB RAM (one pair of sticks) instead ot 2GB, with no change to the pattern of failure.
    I'll probably just connect my drives to our G4, reinstall Tiger on the former G5 startup drive, and keep using what will run on the G4 until it croaks.

  • Help Needed please: Phone won't power up...

    Hello all. I am new here and I have a Nokia N96 which I purchased from Asia, so Nokia USA will not service my phone. I was updating firmware last night and everything froze. I patiently waited for around two hours before I disconnected the phone. Now the phone won’t power up. It vibrates a little and the light on the square control pad goes on. That’s about it. Screen and everything else is off. I tried what other people have suggested such as taking off the battery, pressing combination keys, etc. Any more suggestions or solutions for my problem. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.

    What you are thinking of doing will invalidate your warranty and as a result cannot be discussed here.
    The only option available to you which won't invalidate your warranty is to send it to a Nokia Care Point which will fix it for you. Unfortunately, it will mean having to send it to Asia.
    I know you have started multiple threads on this issue but telling you anymore then we already have will break the forum rules and be deleted by the moderators. You could however try asking the same question at some of the other unofficial boards.

    Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up.  I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen.  Tried it 10 times with the same result.  What's wrong and how do I fix it?  Help!

        Oh no Mr.Ected!
    I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

  • Please Help! My iPhone 4 won't power on!

    iPhone 4, out of warranty coverage, won't power on.
        1.    It has about 60% battery before it dead, but suddenly it became black screen and not responsive (like powered off).
        2.    Whatever I did, like "holding the power button and home button together for 10-25 sec and then pressing the power button again" etc. it just won't power on, no Apple logo!
        3.    But I can seen the "emergancy call" screen when I plugged it with my laptop and it just told me "No Service" at the upper left corner (status bar of iPhone 4).
        4.    iTunes can see it, but only when it was in Recovery mode or DFU mode.
        5.    I also tried to restore it to factory settings in iTunes, but it always gives me an error with various error codes, like 2001, 2006, etc. I also tried restore it under Windows or Mac, but was out of luck too!
        6.    Finally I bought a iPhone 4 battery replacement and replaced the old one with the new one, but nothing changed as if it wasn't replaced its original battery.
        7.    It keeps rebooting at every 10 min or so when It was plugged into my laptop without any operations (pressing any buttons).
        8.    It can be "powered on" only when it was plugged into a computer. It will IMMEDIATELY be in "dead mode" as long as I disconnect it from the computer (like taking out a battery from an iPhone that is powered on)!
        9.    Everything worked fine before it dead, I don't know what happened to it! I am so frustrated!
    Please help! Thank you so much!

    USB Problem, possibly bad Cable.
    I misread your original post "It keeps rebooting at every 10 min or so when It was plugged into my laptop".
    I thought you had a boot loop problem, but you say "rebooting when plugged into laptop" this is not the typical boot loop problem, because you had the iPhone connected to laptop.
    Connected by what, obvioulsy a USB Cable, Error 2006, is most often due to faulty USB Cable.
    Clean that Dock Port Very Well especially with Isopropyll Alcohol, get a good USB Cable, try a different USB port on computer, or try a different computer.

  • My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

    My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period.  My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.  

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

  • Zen Vision:M 30GB won't power down; any ide

    I've had a 30GB Zen Vision M for a couple of months now! Awesome player, went through the usual round of recognition problems, but it's been working fine of late. My problem is, it won't power down now. When I try to power down, the unit says it's powering down, the dispaly goes black except for the battery icon. And it stops there. The blue backlight on the menu buttons stays on, the battery icon stays on, and eventually it turns off after 5 minutes because of being idle. Not a terrible problem I know, but a real niusance. I am running the most current firmware (have been for a while). I've tried resetting and clean-up. No change. I'm afraid of trying to reinstall the firmware, in case I have the same problem that many others are having, and go from a good player with a power issue, to a player that does nothing. I can't see it being the power switch itself, since it powers up fine, and tries to power down. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. birder
