HP Pavilion zv5330us had intermittent power connection now all the time- jack or heatsink?

The zv5330us cannot get a good enough connection to remain on to complete full boot. I need diagrams to locate the power jack and heat sink, CPU, or do I? Replacing the battery didn't do a bit of good as the power isn't getting to the charging unit nor will it power on with DC Adaptor alone anymore. This grew steadily worse. Is there a source for tech specifications so I can replace these parts if I need to, and what about the CMOS battery? Is it replaceable?

Connected the power source - the blue zigzag-LED power light is on in front - no error codes. I will leave it in powered state to try and charge the battery a bit before proceeding in a few hours while I copy the drivers to a CD with the correspondent instructions in Word. This older laptop had a CD read-writer but not the newer DVD writer, I think.... So many devices, it is hard to keep them all straight. Maybe another suggestion for a forum - how to keep all your devices straight with this software product >>>>>>> as yet unnamed <<<<<<<. Since cables and components bridge the gap between manufacturers, with small mods, it helps to get the consolidated listing of all components when you buy the things new.. HP had such a while ago and of course, I copied it onto said laptop, Pavilion zv5330us - which is, of course, the zv5000 family, unless HP broke ground with the 5300 devices - it would be lovely to see a matrix or historical exposition of how these evolved. Sometime I think it would be better to have all the hard drives in a tower, accessible by remote, and for that I bought an HP USB drive, which had its hiccups. Wonderful article "Cloud Services Showdown" in Maximum PC magazine, Vol 17 no 05, May 2012, comparing Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple's iCloud on page 38. They didn't look at the HP or Linux or other commercially offered remote access to your data, nor other options in this article, just the Cloud-type services by the big 4 - but that is another Topic.

Shall I keep power plug on all the time?

Shall I keep power cord plugged on all the time for my MacBook Pro 2011?

You can keep the MBP plugged in whenever possible.
But once or twice a month you should run it on battery
until battery runs down to about 40%.
Best.

DV9000 Power stays on all the time

Hi all, I just did the Nvidia reflow, tedious process, but it worked. Now however my laptop comes on as soon as the battery is inserted, and will not power down! I removed and re-seated the power ribbon cable, but same thing. The only way to power down is remove the battery. Is it the ribbon cable?
Thanks!
John

The power supply is pretty much sealed, so I doubt any screw could get in there. Can you hear anything moving around in it when you pick it up and shake it? Try reseting your PMU.

Power Light on all the time...

Today while changing out my video card, I dropped the screw down inside the computer. Being unable to get at it, or find it, I took the computer to the Genius Bar. The fella there said 'I doubt it will cause any harm' and proceeds to just plug it in, before I could say to him 'wait, I'm concerened that if that screw is touching METAL under there, it can fry something, and that's why I brought it in, instead of just turning it on myself'.
So he plugs it in, and the power light comes up immediately. Hmm. Strange. I assure him, the computer was working fine as I shut it down to install the card.
So now the computer is dead (and I'm convinved he turned it on, that screw somewhere in there fried something). So I'm pretty upset, this guy seemed completely incompetent. I should have just disassembled it all myself I guess, but made me nervous.
So has anyone seen that, the power light just comes on when you plug it in, no fans turn on, no other lights on the motherboard come on.
So he's thinking either MLB or power supply, and I beg him to order both, since it could be either one. They won't because they can only order one part at a time, if it's not that, then they'll order the other part. I'm furious, this is ridiculous...
Genius my but.

Wireless keyboard: "Connection Lost" all the time. Super annoying.

I have one of the fancy new bluetooth wireless aluminum keyboards (MB167LL/A) and it throws up the ghostly "Connection lost" popup every ten minutes, sometimes more frequently. The new MBP that it's connected to is about 3 feet away.
Is there a way to stop this? It's driving me nuts.

Not as of yet that I have found???

Lightswitch HTML Client 2013 - Navigation property load works Intermittently on phone, but works all the time in desktop browsers

Hi,
I have this code which is adding a record and re-loading a navigation property "ldDailyLogDetails_FK".
afterClosed:
function (viewScreen, navigationAction) {
                if
(navigationAction === msls.NavigateBackAction.commit) {
                    screen.ldDailyLogDetails_FK.load();
     It successfully adds a record and then redisplays this new record on all browsers, but on my phone it adds the record ok, but sometimes, it dosnt seem to refresh (or load) the page with the new record.
      I also wonder if there is any place I might go to get some "phone vs desktop browser" information and advice?
     I have tried screen.ldDailyLogDetails_FK.refresh(); as well.

Hi David,
From your description above, it seems that this issue happens occasionally. At the same time you can also use some tool to test your lightswitch application, such as:
Fiddler, it will be helpful to troubleshoot.

My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

Just purchased an 11" Mac Book Air, and I'm using it as a desktop. Is it ok to lea the power adapter connected all the time?

I'm using my macbook air as a desktop unit, with an auxiliary flat panel display, as well as an external storage drive and a CD/dvd drive. Is it safe to leave the power adapter connected to the computer all the time? Will the battery life get affected or shortened by being fully charged all the time?

Apple recommends that for best battery life, you allow the battery to discharge occasionally.
Here's a good link:

Took apart Macbook pro 13 to remove broken headphone tip in the jack. Had to remove battery to get to the headphone jack. Now the laptop won't start. The power button is just not responding. Battery indicator showed charge of 3 dots initially but now only the last dot is blinking. The power cable used to light up green initially but now the green light is gone. I have tried SMC reset, which didn't work. What are my options?

When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Charger won't connect in all the way.

Hey, I have a fifth generation ipod touch. The charger won't connect in all the way. Plus it won't charge at all. I don't remember doing anything to it at all. My dad is usually the one that charges it for me in the morning. Do you think he put the usb the wrong way and forced it. I'm not sure why it's like this. I had a warranty thing. I never filled it out is it to late? I just got this about a few months ago.

Plug into what?
The iPod? The Ligntning connector plugs into theiPod ither way.
A USB port?

I want my fan to run all the time on power adapter, any guru know how?

After buring out one hard drive, and getting tired of hauling a mini-fan and 1/2" foot spacers around with me between motels, I want a way to force the powerbook fan to run at full speed all-the-time when the powerbook is connected to a/the power adapter. Anybody out there know of a "patch" / "script" / "shell add-on" that will do this on 10.2.x?

Trust me, you don't want to do this. That's not how they are designed to run. If your machine is overheating, consider this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30612
And perhaps a notebook cooler, like this one by Antec. And when get back home, run the hardware test that came with your machine:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
If your machine is under AppleCare, I would take it in for service if any issues are detected.
Also note if your battery is under the battery exchange program:

GPRS or Wifi stay connected all the time

I am in a big dilemma. A few days back the GPRS or Wi-Fi connection always connects on its own and stays connected for hours! It used to connect only when required (exchange or Push mail set to synchronize every 30 minutes). It used to connect, check mails and disconnects automatically. But now, it stays on all the time. I checked all my mail connections and they are all set to check mails every 30 minutes. I made sure there are no apps running in the background also.
I called Nokia care and their suggestion is to format the phone and try. But I have so many pics, videos and data that I do not want to format.
A better solution (than hard reset/format) is always welcome.
Thanks.

Hi Pravin. Although it does not transfer any data, my concern was the connection always being active and battery life getting shortened. Anyways, the connection always being on according to me is a bug.
After I did the factory reset, I came to a conclusion that it was one of the emails that I had configured (5 email accounts + 1 exchange account) and one of the email accounts was hanging this.
It is much better now after a factory reset.
