Ibook does not even turn on...

hi. i have an ibook that will not even turn on. it does not even recognize the charger. no sound and no life whatsoever. just wondering of what nature the problem could be. could this be the logic board? hard drive? if something serious, is it worth fixing? i appreciate any and all help..

I've had the same problem a few weeks ago. I tried everything, even a PMU Reset (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449-en). Nothing worked at all. Then, a friend of mine told me to remove the battery and the power supply for at least 72 hours minimum.
After that time I only connected the power supply with the ibook (with no battery inside). Then i pushed the power button as usually. And it started up again. But, i have one of the ibooks (Serial Number between UV117XXXXXX and UV342XXXXXX) with the "logic board failure" and so this can happen again and again when the problem occured once. Now I will try the "Logic Board Repair Extension" (LBRE).

  • I install 2 new batteries on 2 different Magic Mice, close the battery compartment securely but the indicator light does not even turn on.

    I install 2 new batteries on 2 different Magic Mice, close the battery compartment securely but the indicator light does not even turn on.

    If these are older mice, the battery compartment may be soiled by leakage from the previous batteries.
    Remove the new batteries, thoroughly clean the terminal points inside the compartment, wipe over the new batteries, reinsert ... and try again.   Note.   Use only good quality batteries, Eneloop, Energiser, Apple or Duracell.   Other batteries, particularly unbranded ones may be slightly too small in length.

  • I turned auto login off and set a password. It does not work. I tried using the install disc and C key a few times but no success. Now the install disc does not even activate with the C key. Help

    I turned ato login off. Set a password. On login it failed. Perhaps I misstyped when setting up. I used the instaldisc to reset the password but after a few attempts It failed. Was it a mistake to select the hard drive after resetting the password.  I would like to try the alternative but now the C-key does not even let the install disc open, it goes directly to  the name and password screen.

    Keunepete,
    When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?

  • Why am I told to turn off airplay on my iPad (3rd generation) when it does not even HAVE airplay according to iOS7 specs?

    Why am I told to turn off airplay on my iPad (3rd generation) when it does not even HAVE airplay according to iOS7 specs?

    I have the same problem with my device specially with the NFL App and after maybe 2hrs of research I found out that Verizon has implemented that messege/restriction to keep the app "TRUE" mobile only. What I'm saying is that you won't get the NFL App to play no matter what you do if connected to HDMI adapter or AirPlay. I hope this helps more than the other/previous post. If you need re-assurance please click on the link where I found my information, below.

    new ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. Then:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 if 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs.. They do not fix yours.

    Till now my battery has been working perfectly. The machine is about 1 year old and I use it heavily for my work. I prefer to unplug my battery when it's full, and use it till it go's to sleep before plugging it in again. This results in a very high Cycle count (453) but a still perfectly working battery (98% according to CoconutBattery), I can use the machine for about 4 hours on a full battery.
    The amperage would be 0 since your battery is not in a charge cycle.
    Part of your problem could honestly be your cycle count and method of caring for your battery. If you check some of the research about Li_ion batteries this is the worse way to use it. Li-Ion batteries work best with little charges. Deep cycling Li-Ion can kill the cells. There is no good reason to charge the battery and then use it as you have been doing. This just kills your battery for no reason. The MacBook is designed to cut the charge off when the battery is full and it does not hurt the battery to lie idle like this. The method you're using can prematurely kill your battery.
    Either the battery has a problem that is not showing on you readings or the battery circuit is fried. Do you know someone that has a MacBook or live near an Apple store so you can test your battery on a known good MacBook. Or you could try one of their batteries in it.

  • I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

  • Hi, I have a late October 2008 Macbook Pro Unibody which I wanted to use my Magma Expressbox card with. I had a Silver Macbook Pro before which this worked fine with but for some reason my newer Macbook Pro does not even recognize the Expresscard slot?

    Highly anooying as I can't even use the Express Card slot at all, due to the fact the Macbook doesn't even recognize it exists. Has anyone else had this problem. If so, how was it fixed? I only upgraded my Macbook Pro due to the fact Ineeded a better performance but I still need my Expressbox1 to work with my UAD DSP card. If not the buying the new MAcbook was a total waste of money if the Express Card does not even fundtion on it? Please help!!

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac.  Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents.  I have not even turned on my new Mac yet.  Is the best way by an external hard drive?

    If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • Linksys WIP330 does not even see Airport Extreme

    Strange thing:
    every device (even some cheap siemens sl75 wlan phones) does see my new airport extreme wlan.
    except the new voip linksys wip330. this device does not even see the network.
    SSID ist visible, tried different modes, setting channel manually etc.
    any hints? it's really strange. linksys support isn't able to help.

    Make sure the Extreme is using a wireless name that is SMB compliant.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Start with no security on the Extreme.. can the linksys adapter see the wireless now.. this is a brief test..
    No luck test on fixed wireless channels.. 2.4ghz .. try channel, 11, 9, 6.
    Still no luck it is not compatible.. it is often a driver issue so download the latest available.. make sure XP is sp3 and fully updated.
    No luck.. well it is end game.. there is nothing else you can do to fix it. Not all wireless works with all other wireless.
    Get an express.. and use it as a wireless bridge for the XP computer so all it needs to cope with is ethernet.. !!
    If it works at any stage.. immediately put security back but WPA & WPA2 is probably the best you can do.. do not use WPA2 personal..
    Make sure any password is pure alphanumeric mix of case and numbers.
