Inpsire 5.1 Digital 5500 external Decoder won't turn back on

Inpsire 5.1 Digital 5500 external Decoder won't turn back on? I bought a Creative Inpsire 5.1 Digital 5500 sound system form them back on febuary of 07. It has worked well for a about almost the last two years now. About three months ago though the external decoder began randomly turing itself off and would not come back on when the power button is pressed or when the remote is used to try and turn it on. It would only do this sometimes, but the problem has been becoming worse and worse over time. I thought at first maybe it was overheating, but that is not the problem. I have let it cool for hours, but it still won't come back on all the time. It only seems to come back on at random. I have to sit there and keep pressing the power button hundreds of times until it finally comes back on. It isn't even coming back on at all anymore now. It is out of warranty of course. Things always become faulty just a few months after being out of warranty it seems like. Just wondering if anybody else is having this sort of problem and if anyone knows exactly what is wrong with the decoders hardware and if it can be fixed. I have electronic experience if bad parts just need to be replaced on its board. Thanks.

Solved by using safe boot.  Please delete this thread or move to 'cinema display' forum.

  • IPhone won't turn back on.

    My iPhone 4S just randomly switched of on about 80% power and it won't turn back on. I've tried holding down the home and sleep buttons as well, but no luck. I put it into DFU made for recovery, and it did get discovered by iTunes, but the display doesn't turn on still.
    It hasn't been damaged externally in anyway either.
    Please help.

    Sounds like a hardware problem. Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2014 shut off randomly and won't turn back on.

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro(Mid 2014) won't turn back on. I was just typing up my essay and it just turned straight off and won't turn back on. It has happen several times before and all I had to do was press the buttons(SMC method) and the PVRAM thing and it would turn back on. But now it doesn't turn on at all. How do I fix this issue? I had went today to the Apple Store and had a appointment at 3:15-3:25 and I was late by 2 minutes, so they couldn't help me and offered me to come back at 5PM, but will busy so I asked for 5 Monday. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Back when it was operating it would shut off whenever I was using it at the random times. This is my first MacBook so I don't know if it's suppose to get Hot and loud sometimes when operating and then cool off afterwards if that helps out. It shutoff last week wednesday and doesn't turn on at all, but will charge to fully green though. Anyone got any suggestions? I do have a MacBook screwdriver to open it, so if anyone knows anything about the inside and how to resolve the issue it would be great. I don't know how to remove the battery so if you do know please tell me or some keyboard trick would be helpful!   All my data is on this so I would like to solve before Apple erases my data.

  • My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2  seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery?

    My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2+ seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery?  It doesn't hold a charge either...

    EmadJamal,
    the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
    Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?

  • I downloaded iOS8 on my iPod 5th generation the other day and its been completely fine and now all of a sudden my iPod has turned off and it won't turn back on, i have tried charging it but nothing is coming up, what should i do?

    the other day when iOS8 came out i downloaded it onto my 5th generation iPod, it has been working perfectly fine since, now today when i left it for a couple of hours, it turned itself off and now it won't turn back on. i have tried charging it but nothing is happening. it's not out of charge because the little battery usually comes up when its charging, but the screen is completely black and nothing is happening. i have tried turning it on by both buttons and it won't work. i don't know whats wrong with it. i haven't topped it or anything, so I'm assuming its the new download as it seems to be effecting other peoples devices as well. what should i do?

    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 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.

    Hello untech,
    I see that it has been awhile since you have posted with us on the HP Forums.  Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome Back". 
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer shutting it self off and not powering back on. 
    By chance do you have the printer power cable connected to a power bar/strip?  If so, please try connecting the printers power cable directly to a wall outlet.  Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    The printer in the document is a LaserJet printer but this document is meant for HP products in general and only uses the LaserJet as an example.
    I am also going to include a document for when The HP Printer Won't Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed.
    If by chance the issue is not resolved after doing the steps outlined,  I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions.
    I hope you have a great Monday.

    It's a brand new laptop and when i downloaded silverlight to stream netflix, it worked for like half an hour and then my computer just shuts down. i turn it on again and delete silverlight but a couple minutes later it shuts down again and this time it won't turn back on.

  • I was working on my iPad 1 and it turned off and now it won't turn back on.  It was 50% charged and even when I connect it to be charged it still won't turn on.  Is there a reset button?

    I was working on my iPad and it turned off suddenly and now it won't turn back on.  It was at least 50% charged and when I tried to connect the charger it still will not come on.  Is there a reset button?

    Thank you so much!  It worked, I was reading around and saw this has happened to a number of iPad users.  Thank you for your prompt response, I was so worried I broke it or something.

  • I was using my Ipod Touch, and it just cut off.  It won't turn back on now.  It won't charge.  What can I do?  Any suggestions?

    Help!  I charged my Ipod touch the other night, I was using it yesterday and it cut off.  It won't turn back on now at all.  I've tried to plug it in to charge, and absolutely nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

    Hello Christie,
    With it still plugged in, try a hard reset to see if that helps.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to try this at least a couple of times.
