It's been power cycling (turns off while in use) with increasing frequency, and now won't even turn on. What gives?

My phone has been turning off while in use, and would, in the past, recover if I turned it off and on.
Now it won't do anything, and I know that the battery is not dead. What gives?

Hello Hoges,
About your question of connecting the Elitepad directly to another PC via USB.
Since the tablet is considered a full windows PC, you cannot connect it directly to another PC via USB.
Androids and Apple iphones, etc etc. are different than a windows PC. Even if you used an OTG usb cable.
 Windows PC's could be connected via a crossover cable but it is very particular and requires an ethernet port on both machines.
You can connect them via a Network though, like connecting via a Home Group through a wireless connection.
Better still, you can backup your files on a cloud service like Dropbox, Onedrive or Google and then download them to the other machine. If both machines are using Windows 8.1, you can use HP Connect to backup and transfer files.
If you have a usb to micro usb adapter, you can use a pen drive to tranfer files with.
I do not know anything about the magazine articles you are downloading, but if done so via an app in the Windows store, couldnt those be redownloaded anyway without transfering?
IF the tablet is still under warranty and the charging port is loose, you can contact HP Support to see what your options are.
Hope it helps.

  • Ellipsis Jetpack won't connect and now won't even turn on

    I have been having a problem with my Toshiba running Vista , connecting to my Ellipsis jetpack. I called customer service and while the rep was very courteous and helpful, she stated the problem was a security issue with my laptop. I took several measures to disable the security features but to no avail.  Finally, I took the laptop and jetpack in to Verizon yesterday to get some answers. Two different service reps attempted to solve my problem. The second rep finally told me that this is a known problem with Vista/Ellipsis compatibility. He kindly offered the solution of upgrading to a newer version of Windows. After returningbhome and doing some research, i find that my Toshiba doesn't meet the requirements to upgrade. Does this mean I have to buy a new computer to connect to my jetpack???? On top of that, the jetpack shut down this morning while I was actually connected and working online, and now it won't turn back on, even after a hard reset. Frustrated and dissatisfied. Can anyone help???

    I too have an Ellipsis jetpack. Unfortunately the Verizon CSR(s) you spoke to gave out a lot of misinformation.
    Since you've been able to connect to the Ellipsis in the past it should not be an encryption issue (security). However you could log into the Ellipsis and change the security from WPA2 to WPA to see if that resolves your problem. Do you have the ability to connect a different wireless device to see if it can connect and remain connected?
    There are no "compatibility issues" with systems running Vista and connecting to the Ellipsis.
    If your laptop runs Vista then it will handle Windows 7 or 8. Most drivers should be installed automatically, but you may have to find some on your own.
    Regarding the power issue:
    Pull the power cord & battery out of the Ellipsis for 10 min, then reconnect and hold the power switch to power it on.
    I would also recommend that you see if there is a driver update for your wireless adapter. Don't just rely on Windows Update or Toshiba's website either. Get the model # of the adapter and go to the mfg's site for the latest driver - especially if it's Realtek, Intel, or Atheros since they are often updated.

    Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Anti virus software, as well as third party Mac cleaning utilities such as MacKeeper  and CleanMyMac can also slow your Mac down.
    Check to see if the startup disk needs repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
    Make sure to back up all important data first before using OS X Recovery.

    You buy one download and one download only,  it is your responsibility to backup your music.
    it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

    Scroll down to "Update your device using iTunes" here:

    If that doesn't work, you should restore your iPhone as described here.  Note you may have to try to get into the restore state more than once to succeed.

  • IPhone turns off while in use.

    My iPhone keeps turning off while I am using it.  Battery at 50%.

    what have you done thus far to troubleshoot?  Have you taken the basic troubleshooting steps recommended in the User Guide?

  • My iphone 3g was freezing so i started to reset it and now it wont even turn on. any suggestions?

    my iphone 3g was freezing on the text message screen so i tried to reset it by holding the top button and the home button. now it wont even turn back on. the apple logo comes on then turns off 10sec lter. any suggestions?

    When the iPhone only shows the Apple logo and then turns off, it usually indicates an issue with the software that is preventing the phone from completing it's boot sequence. This can be remedied by putting the phone into DFU mode and restoring it. By restoring the phone, the software and firmware will be removed and replaced with a fresh set and the content will be removed from the phone and need to be resynced.
    To put the phone into DFU mode:
    1. Make sure the phone is connected to the computer
    2. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 8 seconds
    3. Let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding down the home button
    4. If you are successful, a dialog box will pop up in iTunes stating that iTunes has detected an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode and the phone's display will remain black.
    5. Click OK, then click the restore button in iTunes.
    Hopefully after that, the iPhone will be up and running so you can sync your content back.
    I hope this helps!

  • Macbook Air Screen keeps turning off while in use

    Hi all,
    I've had my Macbook Air for about 10 days now - it was working fine for the first 5 days, then I went away for a long weekend break, came home, switched it on and now it is all messed up. 
    Randomly and frequently while the computer IS IN USE the display will turn off for a seemingly random amount of time then come back on with no input from me.  So just to be clear, this is not the power profile, or the energy saving setting... what happens is that while I am mid-typing or in the middle of a mouse movement (it has happend a couple of times during me typing this first paragraph already) the display on the Macbook will go completely black, as in the blacklight goes off and nothing can be seen on the screen - then, no matter if I carry on typing or if I just take my hand off the keys and give it no input what-so-ever, after some time (as short as 5 seconds or as long as 30 seconds) the screen will pop back on as if nothing had happened.
    Some other things to note:
    If I carry on typing when the screen goes dark the chracters i've typed are there when the screen comes back on - so it seems to be only affecting the display.
    Whether I wiggle the mouse, bash keys or just sit back in frustration has no bearing on how long it takes for the screen to come back on.
    It appears to occour more often when the macbook is on a solid surface like my desk as opposed to on my lap - though it has occured in both locations.
    I have power cycled, restarted, rebooted etc a million times.
    It happens in both OSX and Windows boots
    It is truly random, I can go as long an hour without it happening, then it will happen 20 times in 5 minutes.
    The keyboard backlight stays on throughout (if it is on already)
    If this was a 5 year old laptop I'd be straight away assuming this was a display cable, inverter cable or lid-close switch problem, but it's only 10 days old!  I'll be very annoyed if this is a hardware issue this soon.  What should be my next course of action?? Phone Apple?  Or take it straight to an Apple store?
    My only worry is that its impossible to recreate the fault on demand, its very random - however I did record a video on my iPhone of it doing it constantly for a 3 minute period while I was using the computer (complete with my sighs of frustration as a soundtrack!!).  Will that be enough to convince them if I'm unlucky (or lucky depending on which way you look at it!) and it doesn't display the fault when they inspect it??
    I tried to embed the video but the video button above is greyed out, whats up with that?!
    Thanks,
    Seb

    Step 1
    Select "System Preferences" from the Apple drop-down menu at the top left corner of the desktop. Alternatively, you can open the System Preferences window by clicking the “System Preferences” icon in the dock.
    Step 2
    Click the "Energy Saver" icon in the Hardware section. The Energy Saver window opens.
    Step 3
    Click the "Settings For" drop-down box and select "Power Adapter" from the drop-down list. Click the "Optimization" drop-down box and select "Custom" from the list.
    Step 4
    Click the "Computer Sleep" slider and drag it all the way to the right. The slider will stop at "Never." Click the "Display Sleep" slider and drag it to "Never" as well.
    Step 5
    Click the "Settings For" drop-down box again and select "Battery" from the list. Select "Custom" from the Optimization drop-down box. Move both sliders to "Never."

  • My Iphone turned off while connected to my PC, it shut down, how do I turn Iphone on?

    Hello
    The Iphone 4 was connected to my PC and it gave me an error. I was on low battery too. I held down the POWER button to shut it down, then the looping/loading circle keep spinning. I then proceeded to hold the power button and the home button together...and the Iphone turned off.
    I don't know if I put it in DFU mode or not at the time. I didn't know what I was doing.
    Solutions I have tried, but didn't work:
    1. Hard Reset Mode: Held Power Button and Home Button for 15 seconds. Released the Home Button and I continued holding the Power button for 15 seconds-1 minute. (at least 20 tries)
    2. Recovery Mode: Held Home button for 3 secs. Plugged USB Connector from PC to Iphone while still holding the Home button for at least a minute. Recovery mode didn't show up.
    3.Tried restarting with computer with Iphone plugged in USB. Tried different USB ports on my computer as well. No luck here either. The USB cable is fine, because it charges my brother's IPhone.
    What else can I do?

    First, make sure the phone is charged. To reset the phone, you'll have to hold the sleep and home button for at least 10 sec, ignoring the "slide to turn off" message, and not let go any button until the Apple logo comes up again.
    Recovery mode is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    DFU mode here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0

  • I have a g5 desktop and I am having an issue with it turning off while im using it. I think it may be something to do with the cooling system

    I am wondering what could be causing my computer to shut off while i'm using it. I think it is something to do with the cooling system because it feels hot to the touch and will not turn back on for awhile until it cools down

    Is yours an iMac G5:
    or a PowerMac G5:
    There is a big difference in the cooling systems. If you have the tower, we can get your post moved to the forum where all the G5 tower gurus hang out.

  • Turned off iphone 5 to preserve its battery and now it won't turn back on

    Hello!
    I've got my iPhone 5 16gb around 1 year now and today, i needed to preserve its battery life (97% remaining )so i turned it off. A few minutes in i needed to make a phone call but it won't turn back on. I've tried the recommended tips such as:
    holding both home and lock screen button
    DFU mode
    Charging it
    Nothing seems to work, i do not know whether the lock screen is broken or not or just whether its a battery or ios problem. Funny thing is that a few days before this incident, there was an 7.1.2 update so yeah idk. Please help. It will be a pain to buy another iPhone

    Hey there iDopey,
    It sounds like you are currently unable to turn on your iPhone on or it is on, but the screen is black. First determine if the unit is on but has a black screen with this:
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    If this is the case follow the last step in this post. If not, then move on to this section:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    If that still does not resolve the issue:
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • What do I do when my screen is unresponsive and it won't even turn off or let me unlock it?

    I was in the middle of taking a picture and then all of a sudden it just stuffed up. I can turn on the my iPod to the lock screen but it won't let me swipe to unock and when I hold down the power button "swipe to power off" still comes up but it won't let me swipe. Also, I tried hooking it up to my itunes to see if it'll do anything and tried to download the latest version of itunes, now it says it didn't download correctly and wants me to reinstall it. Please help!

    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.

  • HT201250 I had turned off the time machine auto back up and now when I try to turn it back on it keeps looking for a disk even though the time capsule is shown, do I have to set it up again as an initial?

    I have been using the time capsule to back up both my iMac and recently added MacAir, it has been working fine but recentlky I had turned the time machine off on the Macair and now when I try to turn it back on it keeps looking for a disk even if I select the time capsule. Do I have to start the backup for the Macair as a new backup?

    That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!
