HP Elitebook 8560P Power failure (2 week old computer)

Hi!
Got my brand new HP 8560P 2 weeks ago.
Everything has worked really good so far but a few days ago the computer just went black.
The power-LED is indicating that the computer is charging but when I'm trying to start it it's completely dead.
I have contacted the HP support so I'm only starting this thread since I want to know if this is a common error or not (have already heard about 10 similar cases here in Sweden).
Any ideas how to bring it back from the dead?
Best Regards
^_^

I got the same problem on both my 8560p and a few of my friends also got this problem on their 8560p.

Does it have a hardware RAID card?
It sounds a little like the hardware RAID card complaining about a failed drive.
Run:

Elitebook 8560p - power problem

Hello,
I have a problem with Elitebook 8560p - WX788AV. Laptop randomly loses power and just shuts down completely in the middle of work. Same thing happens when it's running on AC power, or with just the battery inserted.
It also turns itself on and off repeatedly although I shut it down (it's not on hibernate/sleep mode). At the startup, screen turns on and after few seconds laptop restarts or turns off completely. I have to turn if off manually, either by holding the power button or unplugging the power connector. After that it boots normally.
I took it to repair service where they replaced power connector and CPQ SP-CABLE KIT. They tested it and said it should be alright but the problem persist. I don't know what else to and it's just driving me crazy.
Thank you.

Power failure during application update, computer will not boot now

Help. I was in the middle of loading a system update when I shut the power off. Now my MacBook Pro does not boot and only has an error message when I power up. I have read some forum topics on downloading a stand alone installer to fix and another on using my leopard install disk\utilities to "restore from time machine".
Has anyone lived through this kind of problem. Any advise would be appreciated.

You mean you forced the computer off with the power button?
When you say the middle of loading a system update, what do you mean? Downloading it, installing it??

You need to boot into the Leopard DVD by inserting the DVD, rebooting and holding down the "C" key. After the language screen, in the menu, top left, under Utilities, run disk utility and repair HD and permissions.
That's the first step.
If that does not work, boot into the safe mode by holding down the shift key on boot. If you get to the login screen, you are probably in good shape - just click restart and let the system reboot normally.

RMBP: Sometimes, after having been shut down, i have to press the power button several times before the machine starts up. It's 3 weeks old, and this has happened 2 times now. Is there something wrong with my rMBP?

Did you purchase the Mac new?
You have 14 calendar days from the time your items are delivered to initiate a return as noted here.
Even though you are past the 14 day limit, if it were me, I'd take the Mac back and explain what's going on. Your Mac should work out of the box.

If your charger is defective, it will be replaced by Apple. As to your warranty, here in the US the warranty on iPhone is 1 year. I wasn't aware it is two years in Italy?

P1102 brand new (1 week old) prints wrongly from Power Point

When printing directly from PowerPoint a circle that is defined as all white filled witha white edge line, this shows correctly on screen but when printed, the edge line becomes black.
When printing the same using pdfFactory Pro and then printing on the P1102, the printing is correct.
So, the error is in the P1102 driver, being one week old (2014-03-20 purchase date, Sweden)
Have you corrected this error or will I have to buy another brand?
Our old laserjet 1018 does not produce this error but started printing badly after changing toner. So we bought
a new printer, which looks like a bad decision.
Any help out there?

Hi zecharia,
The only thing I can think of at this point is to ensure the printer is set as the default printer in the control panel. I wonder if the program is using the wrong driver for the printer.
If the issue persists, I highly recommend calling HP. You said the printer is new, only a week old. HP printers have a 1 year manufacture warranty.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

TimeCapsule Power Failure 18 month point

My TimeCapsule 1Tb died last week after 17 months. It had been a replacement for a previously overheating unit at the 2 month old point. Apple were very good and very quick about replacing it here in UK since I had an Applecare plan running on my MacBook. However the new unit I received was an as new refurbished unit of the same series even though it was the last week in October 2009 and the updated TC's had been released. Since Apple well know about this design power flaw I should have I feel received the latest model as now I have to back up my back up for the near certainty of another power failure in 18 months. Will make an interesting case if it does happen again under the UK 6 year suitability rule !

Put me down on the list, one more dead Time capsule after about 18 months. Feels like a power supply failure. After unplugging for awhile, I plug it in and it shows power (light on) for about 30 seconds, then dies.
1TB drive, really thought this would be worth the expense over comparable products on the market--and it was...not now. Needless to say I'm pretty ******, and as long time Apple user with several macs, I'm disappointed by Apple.

Elitebook 8560p Fingerprint Sensor Headaches

Hello all,
I am a new forum user and new owner of an HP Elitebook 8560p notebook. I purchased the laptop second-hand from a shop near my house. I had to clean the dust out of the inside and repaste the processor, oil the fan as well, but now my machine is working great. I have the core i5 model.
Here is my issue:
Bringing the notebook home, I powered it up and during the boot process there were weird checksum validations and things did not go fluidly, but it did boot into Windows 7. The weirdness (specifics not important) led me to believe that the notebook was running an illegally obtained copy of Windows. I proceeded to attempt to 'Restore Factory Defaults', which did not work (various errors, I believe the Recovery partition to be corrupted), and so I clean installed my own legit copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Installation smooth, had already downloaded the Broadcom Wifi driver and installed it via USB. Installed all other drivers successfully, updated the bios, etc. Everything works great, except that in the device manager, there is still an 'Unknown Device'. Okay, no problem.. I right click, go into driver details and attempt to ascertain the Hardware ID (the typical way to find unknown drivers), and under the Hardware Ids tab it also says 'Unknown Device'.
After thinking about it, I realized there was no biometrics tab in the device manager and no way to run the fingerprint sensor (one of the most exciting features of this laptop for me). Now, I know this sounds cliche, but I've tried... everything.
Tried a hard reset, discharging all of the flea power and restoring BIOS defaults. Nothing. I tried a BIOS rollback and then a Scan for new hardware in device manager. Nothing. I have installed and uninstalled SO MANY versions of the Validity driver, to no avail. Have installed HP ProtectTools and uninstalled multiple times with no success. I've tried so many combinations of installs, restarts, uninstalls, device manager scans, etc. Lots of websites, and threads on this forum, have different fixes and procedures that have worked for others with this or similar Elitebook/probook models...none of them work for me.
I thought I was getting closer earlier when I read somewhere that the hardware recognition is dependent on certain windows services being enabled (Cred Manager, RPC, Windows Biometrics), so I enabled them and set them to startup automatically. Next, I enabled all Biometrics related Group Policies. Restarted, uninstalled the 'Unknown Device', reinstalled Validity drivers, tried several scans for hardware, all kinds of stuff. Nothing. Nothing at all. Still no Biometrics tab, just an unknown USB device, and I'm ready to punch myself unconscious.
Am I missing something? Did one of the Windows Updates (there were like 170 to install when I clean installed Ultimate 64 bit) ruin my fingerprint sensor's functionality? How do I get this to work?
Killing me. Can't use one of the coolest components of my machine, and every time I wake from sleep or boot up from cold I get the unknown device popup constantly reminding me of my failure.
Typically, with any tech issue I just google and google until I can get it done myself. I've never joined a forum to ask questions or inquire for help before in my life, but this...... this has me stumped. Any advice/suggestions/known fixes appreciated. MODS- if this is in the wrong forum I apologize, and feel free to move it to the appropriate subforum.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: This notebook is 1 year out of warranty, so suggesting HP support is useless.

Heartbroken, my 3 week old imac 21.5 i3 has just died!! Help anyone

Tonight whilst working in Logic 8 my 3 week old imac i3 21.5 just powered off instantly. Not a proper shut down, just like someone flicked of the power supply. Now there is no life at all. I have swapped power cables and and plug sockets, tried the holding in the power button reset. There is no indication of any power from the imac. Totaly dead. Any suggections before I call Apple on Monday morning?

First thing to do, is plug it in, and then move the system to the edge of the desk/table/whatever. Tilt it up as far as you can. Then look in the little grille on the bottom, and see if you can find any green lights. I believe on the 21" model they should be on the right side, but check both sides. They can be a little difficult to find, even if you know what you're looking for. They're usually pretty close to the little cover for the RAM slots, and sometimes you have to look at just the right angle because of the nature of the holes in the grille.
If you see one light, that means that the PSU is almost certainly good. You're getting "trickle" power. Now, while still looking at that green light, press the power button, and see if you see a second light turn on. If not, then you're not getting communication between the PSU and logic board, and it's PROBABLY the logic board that went out, though these issues can be difficult to pin down. Sometimes everything points to the PSU but it's really the logic board, other times it's the other way around.
Either way, you're better off taking it somewhere than calling, unless you call just to set up an appointment somewhere. Since the SMC reset didn't do it, it's a hardware failure and they're going to have to swap something out.
The good news, however, is that the data on your drive is almost certainly still there, and when you get the system back you'll be able to pick up right where you left off.

Unable to register with Genius bar for a 'power failure' repair????

Hi
Does anyone have any suggestions what to do about registering for a repair?
The online system has just been giving me a busy all day.
I need to take my iMac in for the famous power failure repair. Is the best thing to call them in the morning? Any special options I can hit so I don't get through to Apple Care?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I don't know if you've gotten in yet, but if not the secret is to try to schedule an appointment around midnight. The slots at the Genius Bar fill up quickly and I would find that even if I logged onto my local store's webpage to schedule an appointment at 7:00am, they were already booked. I decided to check it at midnight and I was finally able to make an appointment.
It's ridiculous, I know...and if you mention it, they'll just try to get you to buy ProCare for $99 so you will have access to the calendar to schedule a week out.

This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure for Intel (R) Audio Display

Hi I just bought HP Envy M7 Sleekbook last week and upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 for Windows 8.
Now I have no sound and this is the error message I get:
This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure (for Intel (R) Audio Display)
under Sound, Vieo and Game Controllers in the Device Manager.
Anyone else having this issue after upgrading?
Getting a new lappy is stressful enough but to alreay have issues is ridiculous
If the upgrade is not the issue could something have happened in transit? (I have an issue with the way Best Buy packed it for shipment and wonder if it could have been compromised)
Any help is appreciated. Or should Ibe taing this back to best buy and have them address it?
Thanks
Pam

Ahmed, if your HP Envy has an Intel processor chances are it will be necessary to download new drivers for both sound and chipset due to compatibility issues with Windows 8.1. After 4-1/2 hours on the phone with various technical agents and a lot of frustration I finally got one who had the knowledge and training to resolve my issue. I believe he downloaded the new drivers from the HP support site. Good luck!!

Three week old 3000 N200 notebook appears to be dead - will not boot up

Hi,
I bought the Lenovo 3000 N200 notebook about 3 weeks ago and have used it a few times. I was using it today on battery, when the screen went blank and it switched off (I presume the battery went flat, but I didn't see any warning). I went to plug it in, and it appeared to start up for a few seconds, I heard the fan, but then it went dead. I thought the Z symbol I could see on it meant it was sleeping, but I see now it just means power on. I cannot get the system to boot up by pressing the on/off button, function/sleep button, mouse or enter key. Nothing is responding. I have left it a few hours in case things had overheated but still nothing. Luckily, I hadn't yet thrown out my old computer so can send this message. Is there something I am not doing correctly, or is my first new computer in many years (my last couple have been second hand and have lasted for years) dead after 3 weeks?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi just found this in Access help which is on your laptop
Problem: The battery pack cannot be fully charged by the power-off method in the standard charge time for your computer.
Solution: The battery pack might be over-discharged. Do the following:
Turn off the computer.
Make sure that the over-discharged battery pack is in the computer.
Connect the ac adapter to the computer and let it charge.
If the battery pack cannot be fully charged in 24 hours, use a new battery pack.
Problem: Your computer shuts down before the battery status indicator shows empty, -or- Your computer operates after the battery status indicator shows empty.
Solution: Discharge and recharge the battery pack.
Problem: The operating time for a fully charged battery pack is short.
Solution: Discharge and recharge the battery pack. If your battery's operating time is still short, use a new battery pack.
Problem: The computer does not operate with a fully charged battery pack.
Solution: The surge protector in the battery pack might be active. Turn off the computer for one minute to reset the protector; then turn on the computer again.
Problem: The battery pack cannot be charged.
Solution: You cannot charge the battery when it is too hot. If the battery feels hot, remove it from the computer and allow it to cool to room temperature. After it cools, reinstall it and recharge the battery. If it still cannot be charged, have it serviced.
Hope this helps
