Laptop shuts down after 5 seconds

Macbook Pro 2009  - apple logo startup screen appears, it chimes, the fans start up, but the bars don't fill on the logo and after 5 seconds it blacks out. even when plugged in. battery is fully charged. what do i do?

Your computer's problems go beyond the Recovery CDs. It does not sound like the computer powers on for any length of time. Can you go into the Bios and have the computer remain on? If not, this is not a software issue, but a problem with your hardware. M65s are an old computer, so it has to be out of warranty. If the computer is only staying on for a minute, I suspect that you may have a short. Remove the main battery and any other attached hardware and try again. If it still fails to stay on for more than a couple minutes, it is going to need to be repaired. Considering how old the computer is, it would probably make more sense to replace the computer than repair it.

  • My hp dv6700 shuts down after 1 second. i recently upgraded the processor to intel t7500.

    I recently tried to upgrade the processor of my HP dv6700. I upgraded to an Intel T7500 and after reassembling the laptop and trying to power it up, the laptop shuts down after 1 second. The computer turns on, the fan makes a brief noise, and then the machine shuts down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

    Hey, did you apply thermal paste to the new CPU? It may be shutting down because none of the heat it getting blown out by the fan. The thermal paste is a conductor of heat to allow it to be transferred to the copper which will get blown out of the laptop by the fan.
    I also have a DV6700. May I ask how a motherboard melts down? I have had absolutely no problems with my laptop, and I've had it for 5-6 years.

  • Toshiba Satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds!!

    my laptop satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds of booting , i dont know why ?? and i searched for support in the website and didn't find it in the model list, also i don't know why ???!!
    i want to know why it shuts down , and how can i communicate with support

    Yours would not appear to be a US model. We need the Part Number for your laptop, like PSAG8U-05K02C. You can find this on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. As well, what country was it originally purchased in. In addition, what is your operating system version, like Windows Vista 32bit?

  • AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN NO SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS PLEASE HELP

    AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN APPEARS WHEN POWER BUTTON PRESSED NO START UP SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS AND REPEATS ITS SELF PLEASE HELP

    As for now, only thing that helped was an archive and install with preserve user settings. Seems after the reinstall of 10.4. everything that was weird has become normal again. I hope very much this state stays on for a while - or ever!
    A comment to everybody: with problems that are common you get a lot of help from friendly users in here, but if like in my situation things get a bit more uncommon than the usual querks and troubles your bound to go through a whole workflow of tests and algorithms - i did learn some new things but eventually I had to go for the ultimate - the reinstall (of course, erase and install would have been more work.) and it's frustrating not to find out how it came to this problem. I wish I could nail it down to something I did mistakenly - i guess I'll find out next time.
    THANKS THOUGH to those who replied.

    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.

  • Mac mini shuts down after 10 seconds..

    At first today, the CDs and discs kept automatically ejecting and wouldn't read (obviously). So I keep putting them back in hoping it would read or hold something. Then I restarted and the Mac Mini shuts down after 10 seconds of the seeing the desktop. Did I fry it? I did hear a weird sizzling when I put my hand on top of the mini. And is this under any warranty - I bought it Feb. 07? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any thoughts on that?
    One or two come to mind, not least that if the unit is under warranty now (as it clearly is) and they aren't taking this fault seriously, then buying AppleCare so it remains under warranty longer isn't the right solution - having them examine it and resolve the problem is.
    There's no doubt at all that in the event there is a system with a suspected fault, extending the warranty long enough that the system ceases to function and can be repaired is a good thing, but it shouldn't be necessary to go to that extreme in order to get a problem resolved now!
    I would simply take this elsewhere and have it looked at. While odd noises are sometimes hard to hear in an environment where there are people and other activities going on, and thus it is reasonable to expect diagnosis of them to prove difficult, a system that shuts down of its own accord after a few seconds is clearly not working correctly. To be sure, if it is overheating, then testing it when it's cold is likely to miss the problem, but the description of the fault from the user ought to give enough clues to put the system on test long enough to see what happens when it warms up. If the fault can't then be replicated with a system that is at normal running temperature and under load, then giving it a clean bill of health is reasonable.
    Thus, in your place I would ask them if they did, in fact, test it in that way. Alternatively, write a description of the fault, specifically identifying the premature shutdowns and the circumstances in which they happen (if they still do) and the noises and the circumstances in which they occur (if they still do) and take the system and description to an approved service provider and let them look at it.
    If the shutdowns are no longer occurring, and the noise is absent, then whether you buy AppleCare or not is really a matter of how confident you are that the problem has gone. If you have doubts that the system is running correctly, AppleCare is expensive but at least extends the warranty sufficiently that you can stop worrying too much. Alternatively, if the problem(s) still persist, rather than AppleCare, have the system examined and repaired right now.

  • Laptop shuts down about 8 seconds after power button is pushed

     HP Pavilion dv9913cl Entertainment Notebook PC. what would cause the laptop to shut down after the initial page shows on the screen?

    Heating issues. For all the dv9000 series with nVidia video including your model there are well-known overheating and video/motherboard failure issues very well documented on the internet. Just google "HP dv9000 nvidia video problems". 

  • Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

    PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
    I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
    I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
    What can be the problem here, please help?
    Thanks.

    Hi roberto-
    Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

  • Laptop shuts down after sleep mode, help please!

    When I close the lid or press the sleep mode button, my laptop goes into sleep mode and everything is ok. However, when I open the lid or press the power button to awake it... after a few seconds, my laptop shuts down! I just formatted my laptop to the factory settings hoping to fix the issue, but it persists. Please help!

    When any problem persists after recovering to factory settings, it's often indicative of a hardware problem.
    Please contact support at (800) 457-7777.

  • Laptop Shuts Down after Turning it On

    Hi,
    My laptop likes to shut down within 3 seconds of turning it on. The research I have done indicates that the fan is not operating, thereby causing the unit to overheat, but I wanted to see if there were any other reasons why this could be happening.
    I restored my computer to factory settings a few days ago, and it only started happening after that.
    I tried running a diagnostic by running a "PC Health Check" after pressing F10 on startup, but I didn't have the option to do so.
    Apart from trying to do a PC Health Check, there are no errors popping up on start-up.
    My laptop is running Windows 7 and it is the Pavilion DV6 model from 2010.
    Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!
    This question was solved.

    Hi Mario,
    Before cleaning the fan with an air duster can, I restored the computer to factory settings. It was only after that my laptop started shutting down shortly after start-up. It stopped doing that eventually, but what I did to prevent overheating is I sprayed the fan's underneath the laptop with air from an air duster can to remove any possible dust clogging, thereby causing the fun to work much harder than it normally should, and it seems to be running fine now. I haven't had any problems with start-up, and in fact, when in use, it doesn't make as much noise at is use to. My laptop used to ramp up the fan speed quite often because not enough heat was being expelled from the laptop. Luckily, it doesn't do that anymore.
    Doing further research led me to a video  called: "Reducing Heat and Fan Noise in Desktop and Notebook PC's" on HP's support page.
    If anyone ever does research on the same issue and this post ends up as a result to what you are researching for, than I suggest what Mario said, but also watch the video I referenced above by following this link:

  • Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop shuts down after about 1 minute

    Despite being plugged into AC power, my Lenovo 3000 N100 shuts down after about one minute. It boots properly but suddenly shuts down. I have not used this laptop much since purchasing it in 2006 and have seldom used it on battery power alone. Any suggestions before I buy a new battery? Maybe I am mistaken, but shouldn't the computer work on AC despite a depleted battery?

    Hi Charleydog and welcome to the community,
    Take the battery out  and unplug the ac.  Hold the power button down for about 15 seconds.  Do it twice.  Then plug only the ac in and see if it fires up.

  • Published Captivate .swf shuts down after split second

    Windows Vista 64 bit
    Captivate 5
    Does not matter whether I publish to Flash Player 10 or 9
    No text animations
    When I publish a particular file to .swf and try to open, the movie shuts down after a split second.
    I have 40 other published .swf files that were created the same way.
    Even tried copying the slides into a working Captivate and republish and still have the same problem.
    Currently I have a deadline and this is now in crisis mode.
    Please help!
    Thanks,

    Update to previous post....
    Reinstalled Captivate 5.
    Applied the latest Captivate patch.
    Totally solved the problem.
    I want to thank Captiv8r who was more than willing to assist.

  • HD Video Cam Model #: VF0580 Shuts down after 3 seconds of recording

    My Vado HD Cam will automatically shut down after recording for 3 seconds. I have purchased and installed new battery and updated firm ware but it still happens.
    Any advice?

    Willizzz,
    Sorry, does the Vado HD Cam shuts down only when it's recording or does it turns off right after you turn it on?

  • Re: Satellite A105 shuts down after 60 seconds (NOT a thermal problem)

    Satellite A105-s4344 shuts down after EXACTLY 60 seconds. The mobo has been removed from bezels and all un-needed devices removed (DVD, HDD, WiFI etc.). Swapped CPU and RAM with known good ones. Swapped AC adapter and battery with known good. Does the same on AC or DC only inputs.
    I have not yet flashed the BIOS (with 60 seconds this would be foolish). But, I am looking into replacing or reflashing with an EEPROM burner. Currently has V 2.0
    I am not sure what genration heat detecting this system uses, but it is a possible cause if it is one of the later generations (visit http://www.topbits.com/how-to-monitor-cpu-temperature.html if you do not know that I am refering to).
    Prior to reballing the north and south bridge, and flashing I figured I would get some input from you folks. Just to cover all bases ;)
    P.S. the first person to ask what OS I am using will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my respect list.

    >P.S. the first person to ask what OS I am using will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my respect list.
    :) :) :) Best thing I saw in this forum.
    Back to your problem.
    I am not technician but here just my opinion about all this. The fact is that after switching your notebook ON CPU in just few seconds reaches very high temperature. You can switch your notebook ON and just enter BIOS settings and the same should happen again.
    I cannot say for sure if this is 100% thermal issue or not but what else can be responsible for switching off? CPU will be hot in few seconds only. Material change structure with temperature change and I can just imagine some contact will be interrupted.
    On this forum we had many similar reports like when cold notebook starts and runs well but after short time switches off for no reason. Maybe I am wrong but for me it sounds like thermal or bad contacts issue. Lets see what other people have to say about it.

  • G4 MDD FW800 starts up and shuts down after several seconds

    Hi all,
    My G4 MDD FW800 DP.1,48 starts up and shuts down after about 20 seconds. I Have reset PMU and checked battery voltage, witch was OK. (also had it out for 30 minutes with no power connected etc.) I have video and also tried with NOTHING connected. But still it just powers down and failes to enter start up procedure.
    Last time I had it running I pulled my iPod, beacause the computer did't see it, the next thing I saw on screen was the message to hold the power button for 5 to restart, after that I got the problem described above.
    Anybody?
