HP G72-259WM No pwer light and no chargiang when the charger is plugged in.

The charger has an output voltage of 11 -12 VDC. When plugged in to charger port, no power /charging LED is lit.
The charger does not charge the battery. Is there any intelligence in the power port or wiring between the port and the Motherboard, Please advise. Thanks in advance
Doc

Hi DocPaul,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP G72-259WM Notebook and AC adapter issues.
Here are the specs for your AC adapter.
65 W External Diameter: 7.4MM
Output Voltage(s): 18.5 V Internal Diameter: 5.0MM
90W
DC Voltage:19V
Rated DC Current:4.74A
AC Input Rating:100-240V ~ 1.5A 50/60 Hz
Manuals located here
If the AC adapter you are using is not listed in either of these specs it is not a Adapter for HP and that could be why it is not working.
If they are the correct adapter make sure you have it directly connect to a wall outlet. Surge protectors and power strips might cause an issue.Disconnect all connected devices and cables such as Personal Media Drives, USB drives, printers, and faxes. Remove media from internal drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

My computer won't turn on. When the charger is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green

I was using my MacBook pro felt it charging and asleep for 4 hours. I came back and it won't turn on. When the battery is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green.

First thing to try would be resetting the System Management Controller. If that doesn't fix it you are probably looking at a hardware issue. Carry the computer in to an Apple store or service provider, or call Apple to set up service.
Best of luck.

MacBook pro will not charge even when the charger is plugged in and working

So this is a strange one.
I have been using my MacBook pro for a lot of film editing and motion graphics. Recently, I noticed that my battery kept going down, even when charging. I thought nothing on it and kept using it. After around 4 hours, the battery went from 90% to 23% WHILE plugged in. This got me nervous. When I plug in the MagSafe charger, the light comes on and I get the "charging" symbol in my toolbar. The light turns orange and then, after a few minutes, the power starts to go down instead of up.
I have had this laptop since Christmas 2012 and this has never happened before. The laptop does charge, but only when I am running no application, when the screen is shut or when the laptop is powered off. Bear in mind that right now, I am on Firefox, that is the only application open, yet the charge is still going down. I assumed it was because I was using Premiere CS6, After Effects CS6 and Cinema4D, but now even when they are not open, the batter will not charge when I am using the laptop.
What is going on? Is in the charger? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am starting to stress!
Thank you everyone for reading,
-Rory Campbell
UPDATE: I am currently only running Firefox and Finder. Now the laptop is charging as usual. However the second I open up Premiere, After Effects etc, it goes down. I have no idea what is going on!

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. If you don't know how to, don't worry. They're very easy to reset. Just google how to do it. If that doesn't work, the only thing I would suggest is to take both the laptop and the charger to your local genius bar to have them examined. If it's less than a year old, apple should replace whatever is wrong with it as long as it was a factory defect.

After I updated to IOS8 my iPod 5 charger stopped working, it randomly shuts off when I have the charger plugged in and also when the charger is plugged in, it doesn't charge. The same charger worked on my iPod when I had iOS7. Please help!

ipod 5 charger isn't working after updating to ios8

- 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.
- Try another cable. iOS 8 seem to make the iPod more sensitive to marginal cables.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My mac mini only shows a steady power light and fan noise when powered up. No video or sound and no commumication with wired keyboard or optical mouse. Tried replacing internal battery and resetting PMU/SMC but nothing seemed to happen. Any suggestions?

You've already done the two things I would have suggested.
If your Mini has an internal battery then I assume it's a G4. That means you've gotten a lot of good years of service from it, and it's old enough that it's certainly not covered by AppleCare anymore, and it's probably not worth spending money trying to repair it.
You should be able to tear it apart using instructions from ifixit.com to get the hard drive out, and then put the hard drive into a nice USB or FireWire enclosure (I like the ones from Other World Computing, macsales.com) so you can transfer your data to a replacement Mac.
I hope someone has another suggestion for you.

Press and hold the home and power button together for about ten seconds, wait, then press the power button for about 2 seconds, or until it turns on.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

Transfer all of your content to the computer:

Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in.

Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

TS3694 I keep getting the error message "-42408" and all of my apps got deleted on my iPhone. It says that I need to authorize my computer, so I tried than and that's when the error message showed up. I'm pretty ****** and want my apps to be back on my iP

What version of iTunes are you using? The error you references seems to be connected with iTunes 9.0.4. That version of iTunes is not compatible with iOS 6. You need to update to the current version of iTunes.

What happends when there is an "x" showing in the battery and is not charging when the charger is connected?

on the top right hand corner where the date and time and sound and wifi and battery symbols are, i have my battery symbole set up to show me how much battery life i have by how full the battery icon is, but how instead there is a little "x" icon int the battery symbol and i can only use my mac when the charger is connected, but it still says it isnt charging........***

I have the same problem.. X icon.. Battery indicator LEDs are not showing anything.. we might think battery is bad.. but while booting with AC adapter.. if I remove the plug.. it boots and work with battery fine.. but if I reconnect the AC adapter it goes to sleep mode or maybe just LCD shuts off.. I'm sure of it.. im suing mid 2009 version and I'm gettin a 3 1/2 hrs backup until yesterday.. I was replacing corsair RAM 8 GB one and for the battery connecter.. I use flat screw driver to lift it.. saw a tiny spark then.. thinking thats the cause of all this.. physically everything is fine.. except I need AC adapter to start the laptop.. I wonder if we'll get the exact reason of this anytime..
By the way tried everything.. SMC, NRAM.. those things etc.. nothing solves.. just learnt living with it..

RoboHelp x5 TOC and index missing when the project is converted to RoboHelp 10

As the title says, RoboHelp x5 TOC and index missing when the project is converted to RoboHelp 10. Any ideas for recovering or importing the x5 TOC and index?
Before this is suggested, auto-create is not an option.

Hi there
Perhaps give this a try. From the Project Manager pod, right-click the Table of Contents area and choose "New Table of Contents". Give it a name and enable the "Copy existing Table of Contents" check box. Then click the Ellipsis icon on the far right side. See if you have a .HHC file in the folder. Odds are, you will. That will be the existing (missing) TOC.
Hopefully that will work. If so, repeat the process for the index.
I think when upgrading the project something goes wrong with naming.
Let us know if this helps... Rick

TS4036 Error Message: This iPad hs not been backed up for 3 weeks. Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi.

How do I clear up this Issue? Error Message: This iPad hs not been backed up for 3 weeks. Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi.
I plugged it in and it is charging now. It will not allow me to unlock it and when I push the 'ok' button for the error message, it still appears....will not go away.
Do I just allow it to charge and it will automatically backup itself? If not, what do I do?

Hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. This will restart the phone and give you access again.
To troubleshoot your iCloud backup, try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
