HP Spectre XT 2050nr - Doesnt work unless plugged in

Hi guys,
My computer doesnt work unless plugged in. The tech support helped me uninstall and reinstall the battery, update bios and check for errors. Everything passed. It still dies when unplugged, instantly. It will not boot unless plugged in. The battery reads 98% charged 24/7.
Any other solutions?

How old is it? The battery is a warranted item and it looks like, most likely, the battery has died.

I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely.

I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely. Could the screen replacement have tampered with the wifi capability? Also if it helps I switched internet providers and during the time when my ipod was being fixed a new router was installed and it doesnt seem to work unless directly infront of my ipod.

Take it back to where you had the screen replaced. They messed up the connection to the wifi antenna

Nano will not work unless plugged in

Hello.
I have searched through the help section and through the forums, but I can not seem to crack this problem.
My inlaws told me there iPod nano would not work anymore. They simply told me that they could not get it to come on. I thought I could fix it rather easy. Turns out that it isn't that easy.
The nano will only work when I have it plugged up. It says it is fully charged. When I unplug the nano, the screen dims out for a second and then goes to gray as if it were off. I can not get it to come back on however. When it is plugged in, I can navigate through the nano as if there are no problems. As soon as it is unplugged however it acts dead.
Any suggestions? I've tried resetting. Doesn't work unless plugged in...and didn't solve the problem. I've done the five r's. No problems with the hold button...
I am lost on this one guys.

I would say that it's a dud battery.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

The machine could be repaired by a company that does circuit board re-soldering, since it is possible a heat-flex solder break on the main board may have caused either the processor or graphics chips to lose connection and that could manifest itself in a few somewhat documented ways.
There is an on-board RAM chip that may also have something to do with a kernel panic, if it no longer is functioning correctly; that is the non-removable one soldered on the board you never usually worry about.
Companies such as powerbookmedic, wegenermedia, and others can take in portable macs of vintage or newer (contact them for details on what they do, and how they accept work orders) for repair and can fix most anything; and have a parts inventory. Modern repair workstations allow the equipped service company to fix complex issues and they do troubleshooting. Sometimes the cost is less than a replacement logic board.
The links above may help isolate the general cause of a kernel panic. There are other articles in Support database including a deeper look into them.

Usually the issue is caused by hardware, especially if there is an indication of machine failure in the crash log or other screen image text.
A working last model MacBook (mid-2010) would be a better 'first mac' to have.
Hopefully you can sort it out.
If not, there likely are fair parts in it.
Good luck & happy computing!

Macbook air not working unless plugged in?

I have a mid 2011 macbook air and it has had an issue of not working unless it was plugged in but mainly only working for a short about of time and then turning off suddenly and not turning back on unless pluged in or decreasing in power extremely and abnormally quickly. It happend a few times last year and twice i took it to a specialist specified by apple and twice i took it home with them having done nothing to it. They stated that there was nothing that the diognostics could see that was wrong with it. Eventually it fixed the problem itself and worked fine. just as long as i never ran it flat it worked fine. untill the other month i did that and now it will not work at all without being pluged into a power source. it has been plugged in all day whilst i have been using it and has not reach 100 per cent of power, it will not pass 98%. If the power cord accidentally falls out it turns of straight away, doesnt shut down just abruptly powers off. Never before has it been this bad. I have noticed it has also in this time it hasnt been working again its also been running noticably slower than usual. But that may just be me being parnoid. Im sick of taking it to get fixed only for them to tell me there is nothing wrong, because evidently there is. What options do i have? i just seriously need it fixed.

Your charger might be bad. If you have access to another charger, then try that one. If you dont have access, either find someone who does, or go to the Apple Store and purchase a new one. If the computer is still under warranty, take the computer AND the adapter and have them looked at.

IPod will not work unless plugged into USB iPod 4th Generation

I have just bought my first iPod and I cannot get it to work unless it is plugged into the computer. The battery says that it's charged but as soon as I unplug it from the computer I can't get it to turn on. Has anyone else had this problem. I am using plugs that I got when I purchased the iPod.

I had a similar issue. When I got my 16GB 4th Gen Nano, unless it was plugged into the USB port of my Mac, it would continually reboot. I might be able to get 2-3 clicks in while navigating the menua, but it would always reboot. If it was plugged in, worked great. I returned it and the new seems to be fine (other than Coverflow issues).

Won't work unless plugged in

My 5th gen. iPod is about a year and a half old and has hardly been used because it WON'T WORK UNLESS IT'S PLUGGED IN! Whenever I plug it into my MacBook, it turns on, restores, syncs, etc. But whenever it is unplugged, it immediately shuts off and won't work. Help?!

Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. More than likely you need a new battery.

Z10 CLI Call Line Identification doesnt work unless ???

This is insane, Line Identification will not work unless you remove the country code i.e if the no is +123 98765432 you must delete +123 in order for the persons name whome you stored on your phone pops up , so if you have 1500 contacts god help you, This is one thing I will not do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

External headphones not working (unless plugged in at boot up)

Hello,
I have a MBP 1st gen unibody running 10.5.7. However in last few days my headphones are not working when i plug them in. When i got into system pref-sound it still shows as internal speakers... this is where it goes weird tho: If i boot the machine up with the headphones in, they work fine and system prefs show them as headphones. But as soon as i unplug them and plug them back in, the machine doesn't recognize them anymore.
I have done the following with no luck:
Repaired permissions
Reset PRAM
Created new user account
Tried another set of headphones
Reinstalled quicktime
Restored system from time machine backup
Did a full archive and install and tried it under 10.5.5 and was same then later did all the updates, still same.
I think i covered the basics.. its just weird it works when leaving headphones in on bootup then afterwards stops if i take them out and back in. I have booked an appointment at a genius bar but wonder is there anything ive missed before i go....
Any help, tips or tricks will be appreciated.

Hey!
I'm having the exact same problem. Just bought a new MBP 13 inch with Snow Leopard already installed. I toggle a lot between having external speakers or headphones plugged into audio output. It was working fine for about the first week with the computer, but just started having the problem you describe-- not recognizing an external audio device plugged in unless I restart/put computer to sleep. Any solutions yet?
Thanks!

Ipod wont work unless plugged in!!

Where does it say "fully charged"?
I've never seen an iPod with that message, perhaps iTunes does display it.

That's wrong, iPods don't do that normally.
My guess is that you either have a bad battery, or the battery is not connected properly. Either way you have to return the iPod since you cannot do anything about the battery.

Another test would be to eject the iPod in iTunes but keep it connected, does it work normally? (it's difficult to connect the earphones with the USB cable connected but you can try just working the menu and moving around. What's the battery icon indicating?
After checking that it works with the USB cable connected, disconnect the USB (it's already ejected so you just disconnect the cable). Does it turn off immediately? if it takes a few seconds, then the battery is bad, if it just turns off then the battery is not installed correctly (also in the former case you will notice a few icons before it turns off).

Wifi doesnt work unless turn off then on

In order to make my Wifi work again after using it for a bit and then ceasing to use it (e.g. loading a TV episode stream; using Wifi, and then watching the stream; no longer requiring Wifi) I always have to turn it off and then back on. If I do not do this and try to open any webpage or do anything else requiring Wifi it will not load. Does anyone know why this is happening and if it can be fixed so I no longer have to turn the Wifi on and off all the time?

Hey tamaraholly,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Wow, that definitely sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have an article and set of steps that deals with this exact symptom. For more information, check out the following resource:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202222
For your issue, refer to the section titled:
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
Thanks,

Nearly unused 2nd gen 4gb wont work unless plugged into computer or dock

I have a 2nd gen 4gb nano that my sister won a yr and a half ago, but just gave to me recently and still new in the box until a few days ago. After plugging it in and getting the message to update my itunes I upgraded to the most current version of itunes 8 and let the ipod charge overnight. The next day it says it's fully charged and I sync a playlist from my itunes to it, but the ipod only turns on when plugged into one of the usb ports on my computer and my roommate's docking station. As soon as i unplug it, the ipod turns off and will not turn on. Any ideas as to what is wrong and/or how to fix this?

Lithium ion batteries need to be exercised and obviously this one didn't get any.
You'll need a new battery: http://www.ipodjuice.com or Google for other 3rd party sites.
