Laptop do not poweroff

Hello! I've got an Acer Aspire 1200, with a CPU Intel Celeron, 368MB of ram and 20gb of HD, everything works well but I can't shutdown the notebook, if I press shutdown from the LXDE menu the notebook just halts, but doesn't power off, is it a problem of acpi? how can I fix it?

If you have 'exec startlxde' in your .xinitr, try changing it to 'exec ck-launch-session startlxde' . Shutting down with HAL doesn't really work well if you don't use ck-launch-session, though the documentation doesn't really explain why.

[SOLVED] Computer does not poweroff on shutdown

Upon a fresh install and system upgrade of Arch 2.6.22, shutdown worked fine (well almost - there was a noticeable delay in the HDD shutting off and the CPU + everything else shutting off, but this is a trivial issue). I then installed xorg, firefox, fluxbox, mplayer and a bunch of font packages. Shutdown once more. So far so good. Then I installed alsa-utils, flashplugin and jre. After installing the these last 3 packages, "shutdown -h now" fails to cut power to the CPU. HDD, keyboard, mouse and monitor shuts off, but the CPU and fan keeps running.
Even more strange is the fact that installing kdebase and a few KDE applications makes the problem somewhat worse. Even the HDD does not poweroff with kdebase installed (but everything else does).
I have a feeling the problem was introduced by alsa-utils. I discovered the alsaconf + PCI card warning on the Arch ALSA wiki page after running alsaconf, but I'm not sure if my onboard CMI9880 sound hardware counts as PCI. How can I revert to the pre-alsaconf setup?
If the problem is not related to alsaconf, then what else could it be? I had a very similar problem with Ubuntu 7.04 and drove myself half-insane trying to pinpoint its source.
Hardware:
CPU - P4 530 Prescott @ 3 GHz
Mobo - Asus P5GDC-V Deluxe
Video - Intel 915G integrated
HDD - WD Caviar (SATA but BIOS is set to Standard IDE mode; it is impossible to install Grub or LILO in AHCI mode)

Do you have correct acpi modules loaded? Does acpid run?

No acpi modules are loaded (well, lsmod | grep -i 'acpi' shows nothing). I don't recall installing acpid. I have no need for it since this is a desktop and the P4 5xx series don't offer much with respect to core frequency underclocking. One of the recommendations I picked up over at the Ubuntu forums is to add acpi=force to the kernel boot line in grub.conf/menu.lst. I have not tried this option with my newest install of Arch yet, as a minimal install + KDEmod does not have the same problem as before - this time, I made sure to not run alsaconf.
@ wuischke : That is indeed very strange. Then again, your combination of a laptop board and (possibly) non-Intel graphics drivers might have just exacerbated the problem! Anyway, it's great to hear that the custom kernel helped.

If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.
Read the Bootcamp Install Guide for your version of OSx. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Bootcamp questions should be asked in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Need Help HP DM3 (DM3-1130us) Laptop will not power on. No power at all except for light on a/c jack

Hello, I need some help.
I have a HP DM3-1130us Laptop that will not power on at all.
the only thing that happens when I plug it in is the power jack lights up.
When the power button is used absolutely nothing happens.
No power, no fans, no leds, no on/off cycles, no beebs, absolutely nothing
just the light by the power jack that says the cord is plugged in.
The laptop has Windows 7, 320gb hdd, 4gb ram.
I have tried new power adapter and still nothing.
I have taken the battery out and tried and nothing.
I've tried the option where you take the battery out and hold the power and nothing.
I have tried with different hard drive and no hard drive and nothing.
I have tried reseating the ram and tried new ram modules still nothing.
So I am kind of stumped on what to do, the laptop will just not turn on.
Its not under warranty anymore so cant send it off.
It has not been exposed to any elements(extreme heat or water).
and its never been dropped or anthing.
Im kind of wondering maybe the power button board its self is bad?
If feels fine, its not loose or anything but could it
have just stopped working? for those who are not familiar with this model.
the power button is on the side and is a kind of drag and release button.
Its also on the same board with the Wifi button and 2 Usb ports.
But Im wondering before I buy a new one if this is what it could be.
Or could the motherboard its self be bad?
But even if the motherboard is bad would it still power up
just not post?
Also does anyone know of any other way to try to power this laptop up
without using the slide button. I mean kind of like off a Dv6000 you can power the laptop on by using the Quicklaunch buttons on top but this laptop does not have those.
If anyone can provide any information I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hey Tyler,
Unfortunately it is difficult to troubleshoot this type of issue. The majority of the time when the computer wont power on with the same symptoms you described, the power supply board is faulty. Most of the time if the motherboard is bad it should at least turn on or so some signs of life. Like I said, this is most of the time. Sometimes it could do exactly what your experiencing. I would suspect the power supply board has failed since you are not receiving any sort of lights, sounds, etc.
You could check the motherboard for swollen capacitors or loose solder joints but sometimes you wont be able to find anything.
I hope this helps answers your questions,
Sean

I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my simplePass identity protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE.

I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my HP SimplePass Identity Protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE. It worked with the previous Firefox version but now when I use the internet, it doesn't even acknowledge I have the scanner. When I run my finger over it, it opens the settings panel but does not allow use of the already saved information or allow new information to be entered. I need this corrected. Any suggestions?

I asked this same question, and just received a response:
"Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. There will be no update releases
for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. There will be no updates for
Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. IF they work they work, if they do
not work with DPPersonal, then you will have to decide to either keep
DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona
is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on business applications.
In fact, DigitalPersona Personal will not longer be supported after
Mid-April of this year.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Sincerely, Tech Team "
In other words, there will be NO update.

My laptop will not start - it's telling me that "the logon user interface dll csgina.dll fail to loa

My Laptop will not start - it's a 4 year PC and it's runing on XP.
When I start I get this message" The Logon USer Interface DLL failed to load - Contact your administratoe to replace the DLL or restore the original".
How do I fix so I can start my windows.
Thanks,

Hello -
Try this:
- When you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section, click Restart.
- Press F8 repeatedly as your computer begins to restart. This triggers the Windows Advanced Options menu.
- Use the arrows on your keyboard to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
(Also, You can try Safe Mode and do a "System Restore" from there.)
***Last Resort, you will have to edit the registry and this may prevent your computer from booting***
- boot your system and tap away at F8
- Select Safe Mode
- After Windows loads into safe mode.
- Start >> Run >> “regedit” Press Enter.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Look for the GinaDLL Key
- Select and delete this key and this key ONLY. DO NOT delete the entire Winlogon folder of keys.
- Close Regedit with the RED "X"and reboot the machine

I have my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible

You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

Unable to update apps since I have closed my Verizon e-mail account. The old ID address pops up and I can not do updates. I can not use the old password since the account is closed. I have a new ID and password on my laptop but not for my I phone.

My Verizon e-mail account is closed and I can not access the needed updates for my I phone apps. Even if I knew the password I would have to access the old e-mail account which I can not do. I have an ID and password for my new laptop but not for my I phone which is under a Verizon service contract....ugh!!! Thanks

You don't need to access the email account.

HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off. It will not charge while the phone is on. Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything. I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

I have just over 100gig of music in my iTunes library plus what ever else I add in the future. Because of the amount I had to save my music library on an external drive as my laptop did not have the memory to hold it all. I want to back up my iTunes library and save it on a different external drive, one I store all my back ups on. Is this possible? If so how can I do it?

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

My laptop is not a phone. Don't treat it like one.

My laptop is not a mobile phone the last time I checked. Unless mobile phones started weighing 15 pounds and play Crysis 2 Maxed, Star Citizen Maxed, and any other game you can think of, maxed, with 18" screens.
So, don't treat it like a mobile phone with your crappy chat bubbles that liturally everyone who isn't on a mobile phone hates, even some people on phones hate it.
Why is it so hard for Microsoft to add options to the app? Seriously? Liturally every other chat program in the world has the ability to be skinned to the user's liking. What does MS do? They force you to use their choice only. Then people came up with MSN Plus when MSN used to exist and they kept trying to take that out cause like, god forbid users have some choices when using a messenger. God forbid we actually like the look of our messenger!
I've posted this elsewhere, but this used to be my messenger before you canceled skypekit.exe for no reason whatsoever other than to force people to use mobile ugly skype.
Now here is what I'm stuck with,
Isn't it wonderful? Look at all that space I totally saved in my tiny small sentences of messages. By having 4 inches of white on either side of my messages. Cause that's how real messengers look now days.
However I did notice you can expand the thing a bit, but the chat bubbles are still confusing and useless. you have tons of angry people posting that they want them gone and your responce, is to ignore them? I thought Microsoft was all about listening to the customer. Is that not really true? No one wants bland Windows 8 paint.exe type graphics. That's why I'm still on Windows 7, cause liturally there is zero advantage to downgrading to Windows 8 or 10. All you get is a loss in graphics and the world's ugliest apps. :/ Skype being an examle of this, being forced on people who still have a real operating system like me.
The world isn't full of tiny pitiful tablets that have a processor as powerful as a SNES. Stop treating us like all our computers suck and couldn't process a simple gradient or rounded corner or Windows Aero. If people don't want Aero, they will disable it. Don't automatically disable it for them and give them something you drew up in paint.exe. Seriously. Skype is the ugliest thing on my laptop now. :/
Thank you, this has been another angry rant by me, Vas.

You are not alone in wanting options! There's a very long thread on the 7.0 UI currently running at 850 messages, of which about 2 have been positive. You may want to take a look there too.
