I have a G72 laptop that will not turn on! Please help

Hello,
I have a G72 laptop that will not turn on. The power button simply does nothing. I know that the battery is at least charging because when I plug it in, the LED indicator is white saying that it is charged. Sometimes when I take the battery out and put it back in it starts up for a split second, then a second or two later shuts off. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an iPod touch that will not turn on.

Hello forums! I have an iPod touch that will not turn on. I have tried everything I can to turn it back on, but I just cant find the right thing. I dont know if it is in need of a new digitizer, or the battery is dead, but I would really appreciate some help. It is an iPod touch 3rd generation.

Ibook will not turn on, please help. ASAP

I have an i book laptop but i am not sure what model it is. I just know that it is about 4 to 5 years old. I used to have some one that could fix it for me and tell me what is wrong. But i do not have them any more. My computer will not turn on. Even when i plug the power block into it. I have looked at the mac support things. but none of them have helped me. if some one out there could help me i would be sooooooo great full. Please some one try to help me solve this problem. i have tried the (PMU) restet, when you press shift, ctrl, option simultaneously. Then you are supposed to wait 5 seconds then turn it on. that did not work. For many months now i have been struggling with this problem. i really need some help, because the mac support on this website has not been helping me. So maybe by creating this account, and writing this letter. Some one will come to help me.
By the way i cant even find out what OS it is because i cant turn it on to find its information

Thanks - but I can't see anything, the screen is dead (which is why I put the disk in - I was following the troubleshooting instructions), all I hear is the fan, but there's no screen prompt. I've tried resetting the PMU and the PRAM without success -- I've been having this problem on and off for a few weeks but it usually started ok the second or third time. Now, however, it's not working at all.
Hi,
You may be able to eject the CD by starting in open
firmware.
Hold down the command-option-o-f keys as you start.
When you see some text on the screen release them. At
the prompt type "eject cd" (without the quotes) and
press return. It should eject after a few seconds.
Next try resetting the NVRAM. At the prompt type:
reset-nvram <return>
set-defaults <return>
reset-all <return>
It should restart after the third command is
entered.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Will NOT turn on PLEASE HELP

My phone went black today and will not turn back on.. I have taken out the battery and the sim card, when i put them back in the red light at the top just flashes and nothing comes on the screen. I have tried to boot it by charging it and hooking it up to the computer. The BlackBerry desktop manager says it can not connect to the phone. PLEASE HELP

I have had the same problem 3 times over the past 2 years. The first time, Telus replaced the phone immediately as I was told it was a factory defect. The second time happened within the warranty period and TELUS decided to send it to BlackBerry to get it repaired. Phone came back,4 weeks later and worked properly but within a month same issue, does not boot up. Third time and three weeks later a new Torch came back from BlackBerry w on what was wrong with that phone. Now I am staring at the same problem on the THIRD TORCH I HAVE HAD IN TWO YEARS!!! What kind of defective product is BlackBerry shoving down our throats. As consumers we should expect what we purchase to work and not have to waste 4 hours reloading this and uploading that. Frankly I don't want to find the time to upload a bootfile that is missing, WHY IS IT MISSINg? Why is there a problem in the first place with the phone. If there is a defect, own up to it and recall them. I have had BlackBerries for the last 10years, this one is going into Lake Ontario and I am buying a an ANDROID. Its funny how even the sales people at the corporate TELUS Store and the tech support atff on the phones told me to just chuck it and never buy another BlackBerry again because they are also sick and tired of letting their customers down.
Is this a 9800 you're talking about? Reading your post, this is actually the 4th time that you've had this happen, with 3 different phones, correct?
When you talk about "reloading this and uploading that", are you talking about reloading the OS, or applications? I'm wondering if there's a particular application you're loading that's causing it.
While I'm sure there are faulty 9800s out there, and I've had a few myself (among 80 users), I find it hard to believe that you could end up with three faulty ones in a row. Are you able to get the battery charged somewhere, just to be sure it's not just a dead flat battery? It might be that you've got an application that's flattening your battery to the point where the phone can't start, even on the charger.

My ipod will not turn off please help???

Everything works on my ipod, but it will not turn off. It will play and pause but not turn off.

I too have had this problem. In fact it seems to be a fairly common problem, suggesting that it is an unaddressed bug.
Here's what you can try:
1. Reset your iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds. After your iPod reboots, see if it will turn off. If not:
2. Restore your iPod using iPod Updater, which you can download from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ . Restoring your iPod will delete all songs, pictures etc and reload the iPod's operating system. If that doesn't fix it, you can:
3. Try a work-around. Can you turn it off using the Sleep menu option? If you don't see that in the main iPod menu, go to Settings/Main Menu and turn on the Sleep menu option. This didn't work for me, but others have een able to turn their Nanos off this way.
If none of these things work, your only option is to have Apple replace you iPod. You can do this by contacting Apple support, or by going to the Genius Bar at an Apple retail store.
Several people (including me) have seen the not-turning-off problem in conjunction with the Nano frequently showing a message saying that firewire connections are not supported. In my case my Nano became unusable because the firewire message would pop up so often that I couldn't navigate through the menus to get it to play anything. I took my Nano to an Apple store and the Genius Bar guy replaced it on the spot. Unfortunately the replacement also doesn't work (headphone jack doesn't work so I can't hear any music) so I will have to go back again, but don't let my run of bad luck prevent you from getting a replacement.

3 beeps after ram upgrade, computer will not turn on, please help! I have tried everything.

I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inches, i recently upgraded the RAM from Crucial 8gb (4gbx2) to Crucial 16gb (8gbx2). I have done thies before, was er careful, and had antistatic clip, clean work surface, etc. When trying to turn the computer on again, i hear 3 slow beeps, repeated three different times, and the computer does not turn on. I have been looking around for solutions.
I have already swapped the memory modules, cleaned them, dusted the whole computer with air can, put the old ram in and still have the 3 beep problem. It no longer works even with the old ram. The computer was working perfectly fine before this.
Am i missin a step? I saw in a video on youtube that i have to reset the RAM with Alt+P+R+Power button, but nothing happens.
Please help, i am self employed and my Mac Book Pro is the computer i work with!
I have Lion operating system, everything updated very recently. Stock 512 gb hard drive.

Thanks for the quick reply Allan, i have reseated the ram 4 times, swapping top and bottom Ram modules, and pushing them in firmly and pressing down evenly with both hands.
I tried to put the old ram in as well in case the New RAM was bad, and that did not work anymore either. I am from Mexico and live in Mexico City, and it is not easy to send the RAM back and get an exchange. I will go to a MAC repair center on monday, but think i am missing some simple step somewhere. As i said this is my work computer and i really need it!
I have reread what i wrote before, to clarify my computer was working fine with the old 8 gigs of ram, i just wanted it to be faster, and bought 16 gb since they are now much cheaper than a few years ago.

My ipod will not turn on, please help.

My problem is different than the other ones posted on the forums, I have a 60gig ipod. Once it turns off I can't get it to turn back on unless I reset the system by pressing the menu and center button. Is there a way without restoring the original settings? It works fine once its on, but it is really frustrating to have to reset the ipod every time I want to use it. And I don't want to create more problems by constantly restarting it, that can't be too good for the ipod. It still syncs fine with the computer and everything. And it has a charge. If I reset the ipod, it will play fine. It's just after I use it, I turn it off, and next time I want to play it, I would have to reset it.

Hi Patrick,
You sound like you know something about a thing or two...Would you know anything about myself and other people 's problems about
the Apple logo flashing on and off with a low whining down sound and then restarting again,and this goes on and on,I guess untill the battery dies.
I have a 5th Generation 80GB Classic ipod.
I went to turn on the ipod and nothing happened. I tried the reset method by sliding the hold switch ON, then OFF, and pressed both the top area of the MENU button and the middle of the SELECT button, at the same time, but with two different fingers.
All I’m getting now is the black screen with the Apple logo appearing for about six seconds, then off for about 6-8 seconds, and ON, over and over again and so far it has been doing this for about fifteen minutes now.
I called APPLE, and they told me to install iTunes, and plug in the ipod, and hit the RESTORE Option, but for some reason, the newly downloaded QUICKTIME and new itunes I just downloaded from Apple does not open up the itunes when I double –click on it either from the desktop, or the Start>Programs>itunes folder.
The reason for all this was that I was clearing off one computer’s hard drive to another new computer before I wipe the Hard drive. I deleted all my mp3’s and the itunes program from the old computer and put the mp3 music files onto the new hard drive. I downloaded the new Quick time and itunes programs separately to my desktop.
I was told from Apple that my ipod warranty has expired by about 85 days.
I have run all the Apple updates and it tells me I am up to date. Thanks for any help.

Hello All: ) I have video of a child who is very sick on my black berry and I want to get burn to a disk for his mom yet when I try to use my Dell laptop it will not recognize it PLEASE help any one before his time is to late :.(

Please its very important I get his family this Video from my Crackberry phone to a computer disk. I am trying to use Windows DVD Maker with DVD+r disks. Video is of his best friend trying to come to grip with his up coming voyage back to our father's Home (( to politely say it.
To God be the Glory, for through him all things become possible!

Hy and welcome to the forum
Now where is that video stored means on memory card. If yes then there are two ways to get this to your PC
1.    Plug out the memoy card from the BB and use a card reader to read the contents of the Card
2.    Use desktop manager. Means install the Desktop Mananger. Plug your BB to the PC using cable. Wait for the pc to finish installation. Now Say yes for mas storage. And open the driver mounted to the PC (Go to My Computer to see that drive) and copy th video.
Now to burn it on the DVD. This can be done using various ways
I recomend this time only two softwares fo you
1.   Windows Movie Maker
2.   Nero
The first one is the builtin software for windows and the second one is very excellent. Because it has many features. I use 9 or later fo these tricks. You must have a DVD writer drive installed on your PC and have a DVD disk either recordale or rewritable.
Need any help please let me know

I bought creative suite production cs6from Adobe and I have downloaded all the programs. However CS6 premier Pro does not open. A message says to upgrade mt video driver. This I have done but it still will not open. Please help Brian Dowdall

I have the CS6 production suite. All the programs work except Premier Pro. It starts but tells me I need to upgrade my video software, which I have done.
Can I rpair or reload the Premier pro again without effecting the other programs in the suite which all work well.
Brian Dowdall

Nothing to do with the program. Something is not right on your system, but since you haven't provided any proper technical information we can't even begin to guess.

IPod Touch Will Not Turn On - Please Help!!!

Hi...I have a 1st generation touch. I used it last week and it had a low charge. When I tried to charge it this morning nothing happened. The computer or iTunes would not recognize the touch. I remembered updating iTunes the other day...so I did an uninstall and then reinstalled...wondering if that was the issue. That did nothing. I've tried to go into recovery/DFU mode...and nothing...no response at all. Unfortunately my touch is out of the two year warranty. The touch has never been jailbroken. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can save my touch?
Please...any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

having the following problem...
my ipod touch was hot at the bottom rear when i picked it up. for no reason. the display worked ok but didnt let me slide to unlock or slide to switch off. i have since fully charged it, fully discharged it several times and the screen remains black no matter which buttons i press. i have tried the reset by pressing top and bottom button for 10 seconds still nothing happening. It is now not recognised by the computer when i switch it on. or the tone from the computer when the usb is connected. iv not dropped or damaged the ipod in any way. tried chaarging via ac plug for iphone and via laptop.
just there tonight i tried charging via a different usb port on the laptop and that has brought it back to life. started charging again etc but the screen has what looks like a watermark across the right hand side making the touchscreen function at that side difficult to use. hopefully this will help.

I have an iPad that will not turn on. Suggestions?

You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

I have a mac Book that will not open DVD's of Business Presentations. I had my hard drive taken in to the Mac Store and had a new hard drive installed. Since then I cannot open DVD's. What is the application that I need, and the process. Tks

I have a mac book that will not open up DVD's recorded with a presentation. I install the disc in a HP / windows 7 and it works fine. I had my hard drive replaced and since then I cannot open up DVD's. Was there a application that did not get installed? And if so what is the process.

You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.
