Laptop appears to be dead

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5879 with Intel Pentium Dual Core T2390 processor, 3GB RAM and a 200GB harddrive running Windows 7. It belongs to my nephew and we were trying to download "Marvel Heroes" when it just went black. There was no activity or sound, even though the "on" indicator was lit up. After quite a while we decided to try and restart the computer but the "on" light came on without any booting activity whatsoever.
It appears dead.
What in the world happened? How can I undo this?

Things to try:
Try a reset - remove battery, unplug power cord, and press power button for 30 seconds. Then try to start with just the power cord connected. Add battery after laptop is running.
Then if needed, again remove the battery and power cord reseat the memory - take them out and put them back in, you may need to try one at a time and in different slots to see if you have a bad memory stick or memory slot on the laptop.
Power supply can be checked for output, you will see the ratings on it for voltage.

Ipad 2 screen appears to be dead

I accidently inserted my Iphone charger USB into the Ipad 2 and tried to back up in the computer. Now I found my Ipad 2 screen appears to be dead. Only the apple image shown and the Itune cannot identify Ipad.
What should I do?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

IPad appears to be dead

Hiya
My iPad appears to be dead. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. It was switched on and when I pressed the home button the screen went grey then...nothing.
I have tried charging/reset/hard reset. Nothing happened. I have also tried to connect to iTunes to reset but the screen is still black. I can hear a very low sound though...not sure what's happening but I thought was worth checking here before sending it away.
Cheers

Firewire appears to be dead

My Firewire appears to be dead on my Dual 867 MDD G4. Portable drives don't mount (Hard drive and CD/DVD) Tested the HD on my MBP and it was fine.
Disk utility couldn't see them either. I restarted, repaired permissions... No improvement.
Any tips?
Oh The system profiler shows "Firewire: " That's it... no details.

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.5 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
Good Luck!

Light is out and it appears to be dead.

My time capsule's light is out and it appears to be dead. Can anything be done to fix it?

If you have AppleCare on any of your Macs, the Time Capsule might be covered.
Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one in your area.....or contact Apple Support directly to discuss your options
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
If the Time Capsule is not covered by AppleCare, Apple will not offer repairs, but there are some independent agents that can do this for you. Look under Time Capsule Repair in this link, originally posted by forum expert LaPastenague:

IPad freeze up and appear to be dead and only show a black screen

My iPad2 freeze up and appear to be dead and only show a black screen, why is it so?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. It happens occasionally judging by the posts on here, but only once so far to me.

Purchased a new Official PSU Now Laptop appear to get very hot -Satelitte pro p300 1ay

Can any one help i recently Purchased a new Official PSU from Authorised Toshiba Dealer , and now the Laptop appear to get very hot particurlarly at the lower back of the screen hinge- What I want to know why is this happeing and is it damaging the laptop, as it get quite hot, unless I change the power saver mode, or dont have many web pages/ tabs open

Air flow is a major issue for all laptops. Therefore it is essential to make sure that several things are completed on a regular basis to keep your laptop running as cool as possible.
1. Make sure your air vents are free of lint and dust and your fan(s) are free of the same.
2. Use compressed canned air, spray air vents and fan(s) for 2 to 3 seconds at a time only; otherwise you may damage your hardware.
3. Open your laptop use Arctic Silver thermal compound applied to the heat sinks on the CPU.
4. Make sure your drivers for video and BIOS, chipset are all updated.
5. The other way to keep your laptop cooler is to purchase a cooling plate.
It fits under your laptop and it has 2 fans and it keeps your laptop twice to three times as cool.
It helps to draw out the hot air from within your system.
I am including an image to help show the vents.

Three week old 3000 N200 notebook appears to be dead - will not boot up

Hi,
I bought the Lenovo 3000 N200 notebook about 3 weeks ago and have used it a few times. I was using it today on battery, when the screen went blank and it switched off (I presume the battery went flat, but I didn't see any warning). I went to plug it in, and it appeared to start up for a few seconds, I heard the fan, but then it went dead. I thought the Z symbol I could see on it meant it was sleeping, but I see now it just means power on. I cannot get the system to boot up by pressing the on/off button, function/sleep button, mouse or enter key. Nothing is responding. I have left it a few hours in case things had overheated but still nothing. Luckily, I hadn't yet thrown out my old computer so can send this message. Is there something I am not doing correctly, or is my first new computer in many years (my last couple have been second hand and have lasted for years) dead after 3 weeks?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi just found this in Access help which is on your laptop
Problem: The battery pack cannot be fully charged by the power-off method in the standard charge time for your computer.
Solution: The battery pack might be over-discharged. Do the following:
Turn off the computer.
Make sure that the over-discharged battery pack is in the computer.
Connect the ac adapter to the computer and let it charge.
If the battery pack cannot be fully charged in 24 hours, use a new battery pack.
Problem: Your computer shuts down before the battery status indicator shows empty, -or- Your computer operates after the battery status indicator shows empty.
Solution: Discharge and recharge the battery pack.
Problem: The operating time for a fully charged battery pack is short.
Solution: Discharge and recharge the battery pack. If your battery's operating time is still short, use a new battery pack.
Problem: The computer does not operate with a fully charged battery pack.
Solution: The surge protector in the battery pack might be active. Turn off the computer for one minute to reset the protector; then turn on the computer again.
Problem: The battery pack cannot be charged.
Solution: You cannot charge the battery when it is too hot. If the battery feels hot, remove it from the computer and allow it to cool to room temperature. After it cools, reinstall it and recharge the battery. If it still cannot be charged, have it serviced.
Hope this helps

Why does my laptop appear to be considerably slower?

i purchased my laptop near the end of last yr and and over the past couple of days it appears to be considerably slower sometimes than wat it usually is.
I dont know if i have a virus and have CLAM XAV anti virus to scan.
I have 3 users but my memory is nowhere near full so....

There are many potential causes for these sorts of performance problems, so it's difficult to give you specific advice. Any advice we give, without more information, will be fairly hit-or-miss. Try some of the suggestions in the Mac OS X Speed FAQ.
Regarding the whole virus issue, make sure you have installed all the latest updates available in Software Update, and read my Mac Malware Guide. (Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.)

Laptop with Itunes went dead...how do I get all my music from Nano to IPOD?

I had my iPod nano hooked up to a Dell laptop with iTunes. Of course the laptop went dead and now I don't know how to get the music from the nano to my iPad?
Anyone have any ideas or instructions to assist?

Hi,
You music is not in your iCloud account, it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Whether you use iCloud personally or not, it will not have an effect on the iTunes in the Cloud functionality. If you are using iTunes, then all of your purchases through iTunes will use iTunes in the Cloud as a backup for your purchases.
Cheers,

Why is my phone displaying a pink screen and has appeared to be dead?

I tried to upload some photos today and for some reason it tried to synch with itunes and iphoto then went dead. Please tell me there is hope. How do I revert it back to working again?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore your iPhone > iTunes: Restoring iOS software

I started to notice that the power connection to my laptop was a little lose; a little later I needed to play a little with the connection so that power would not disconnect; now it appears that something got completely lose inside the connector and I don't get any power into my laptop. How can I get to this connector and replace it or tighten it? I already tried opening the cover but did not see an easy way to get to it. Thank you very much for any suggestions.
