HP Pavilion Laptop has burning smell and will not turn on or charge

Last night I plugged in my laptop to charge and the little white charging light came on (everything was normal). I left my laptop at an angle leaned against the wall so it wouldn't get stepped on. In the morning when I tried to turn on my computer nothing happened -- none of the lights came on at all. Even the charging light was out even though the computer was still plugged in. When I unplugged the charger and looked closer both the computer's charging port and the end of the charger smelled like burning plastic. Now when I plug/unplug the charger there is an electrical sounding pop/crackle sound at the charging port. I'm going back to school in a few days so I would really appreciate it if someone could reply soon so I can fix it before classes start. Thank you!

HT4993 My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time

My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time. What do I do to get my phone back on??????

You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.

My iPhone has switched off and will not turn back on

mmy iPhone 5c was working perfectly fine this morning whilst I have been in work. But when I left work and checked my phone in my pocket it had switched itself off and will not turn itself back on. I have tried to plug into charger but still not turning on

Hi Kate,
It must be very frustrating to be unable to use your iPhone since it won't even power on. Let's see if we can get things back up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Start with the section titled If your device still won't turn on or start up.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

New iphone 4s shut off and will not turn on or charge

I just upgraded to an iphone 4s yesterday. I installed 6 OS last night. Woke up this morning and took 5 pictures of my kids and sent a text. I went back a few hours later to check for return text and the phone is not responding. I have tried plugging it into my laptop (apple), I have tried plugging it into the wall plug, I have tried plugging it into my car charger. It's not turning on. This is my first smart phone and I have many apple products (2 ipads, macbook, ipod touch 4th gen, and now the iphone) and have not ran into this problem yet. It has not been touched except by me. It has either sat on my desk (sturdy wood) or my counter.
I now have no phone. And I cannot call Verizon because I do not have a house phone. lol Any suggestions besides take it back to Verizon tomorrow?

Oh wow dmcalgaro! No phone is no good! Since posting did you get your issue resolved? Just like a computer, your phone needs to be rebooted every once in a while. As a great Apple consumer, I am sure that you know this. Also, it does take about 10-15 minutes to charge the device on a wall charger before the battery indicator (showing red and low battery) even comes on. Please try this and when the device does come back on, I would getting into the practice of closing out your apps every so often. Just double tap the home button and press and hold each app to close. When they start wiggling, simply click on the minus sign to close. This will help prevent this from happening in the future.
Thanks and keep us posted!

My phone ran out of battery last night and will not turn on through charging. Top button has also stopped functioning. Help?

My iPhone ran out of battery last night, and now it won't turn on.
The top button doesn't work anyway, but I've tried charging to wake it up using several chargers and via a laptop and plug socket.
The phone's about a year old, and has otherwise been working fine. I've no idea why it would just stop working - no water spilt on it or anything like that.
Can anyone suggest anything?

Clean iPhone charging port with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. See if better. Try another good USB cable. This iPhone potentially has many problems. Without the top button function it is very difficult to deal with any of the other problems. The iPhone may also have faulty battery, faulty charging port, or worse faulty screen, or even worse faulty logic board. Apple will handle this with perfect Replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours for $149.

Ipod 4g shut down and will not turn on or charge

Greetings, yesterday my ipod nano 4g played some music and shut itself off after being in my vehicle during the day although not in direct sunlight. I had thought that it ran out of charge and took it home and hooked it up to my computer as I normally do to recharge it and update it although it still would not turnon or activate itself and show the "do not disconnect" sign on the screen. What could cause this? Is there a way to reset my ipod or is it toast? Please help.

I plugged in the Ipod 3 days later and it connected ok and is charging. Problem solved. Thanks.

My iPhone 3GS has died. It will not turn on, reset, charge-nothing. Any ideas?

Was listening to music and paused it to put in headphones and it just shut down. Have tried charging it and resetting, but nothing happens. Any input would be great, thanks!

Assuming your iPhone is well charged, place it in recovery mode as described here. You may have to try this more than once to succeed.

Just read that someone had the same problem on 3gs and someone had replied to press the home button and power button at same time, so I tried this and within a few seconds my phone had switched itself back on.

My IBOOK has shut down, and will not start back up

ok here is what has happened. yesterday my 1.2ghz g4 ibook started randomly shutting down. it would shut down and it would take a while of me pushing the power button to get it to start back up. when it would come on, it would switch between charging and not charged quite rapidly even though my power cord was in. now however, it has shut down and will not start up. the battery is fully charged. anyone have any ideas?

I'm telling you. I have lost all faith with Apple. The old iBook I had, 800MHz G4, simply worked fine with no problem waking up or starting up, although it's just a bit slow. Now, I am super frustrated when it just couldn't wake up, either with the sleep light flashing or not, ie it's black screen initially and when I press the Power button once to get it back to life, it just stays black!!!
So the only thing to do is to force power down by pressing the Power button for 10 seconds. Then I press the Power button once to start up, but it just stays black screen. I've left my iBook in that state for a day now, hoping that it will come back alife. But no! And the worst is, I had a similar problem starting up from wake just the day before. I called the Help Desk and they advised me step by step, from taking out the battery, to pressing OptionsCommand+PR, and OptionsCommand+OC, and doing Apple Hardware Test. The iBook seems to just work fine while on the phone with them. And barely 3 hours later, the thing just couldn't wake up. I've powered down and up many times now, and I've left it powering up, but still black screen till now (one day already).
Finding out about resetting PMU on the support page, I've also tried that, but it still can't work.
And you know what? I've sent this unit for repair 3 times already! First they say it's the HDD problem, so they changed that. Then when it still happened, they say it's the logic board problem, so they changed that for me. And again when it happened, they changed another logic board for me. So now, it's the fourth time, what do you think I should do? I don't think going back changing another logic board will help!
I am in fact ****** off! If Macs are great, then why me? Why my iBook? I am telling this forum that we cannot accept a big corporation giving us sub-standard products. I've since read this forum carefully and found that many of us faced the same problem! We just cannot sit down idly and let the company get away with it. This is a warning to fellow users out there that face this same problem. Let us voice out our frustrations and make Apple give us some compensation for it. I say this because I depend on my laptop iBook for presentation to clients, and this happened exactly twice when I was in front of my clients. I don't mind losing face but can Apple compensate me for my loss of business and future business from my clients?
Voice out strongly your unhappiness to Apple now!
