Screen does nothing. D:   I have tried removing the battery.Hard resetTaking out the battery but leaving in the AC adapter Please help, I do everything on this laptop. I have a TouchSmart (HP) Notebook - 15-r137wmHere is a screenshot

  Hi , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP TouchSmart Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 8. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

  • IPad will not turn on no matter what I try

    I have an older iPad first generation, which I bought used a little while ago, and it has always worked fine up until today. I had just used it yesterday, battery was nearly full when I put it away on my desk, then when I picked it back up off my desk to use it today it was dead. The thing is completely unresponsive no matter what I do to it. I have tried plugging it into the wall charger, plugging it into the computer, using the on/off button and menu button simultaneously to hard start it, and I tried plugging it into iTunes with the menu button held down to do the restore thing...nothing. It's all of a sudden completely dead. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on what to do next?

    Take it to your local Apple retailer.

  • IMac shut down and will not turn on no matter what I try...help!

    I am hoping that someone can help me. I have a 20", 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac that was purchased late 2007. A few days ago, it shut down on it's own during normal computer use and it won't turn back on since.
    I have searched through the boards and most people recommend resetting the SMC, SMU and pulling out/placing back in the memory. I have tried all of those as well as using a brand new power cord but none have worked. I have also seen recommendations to reset the PRAM but since the computer has to be on to do that, unfortunately, I can't try it.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi and welcome.....
    I have also seen recommendations to reset the PRAM but since the computer has to be on to do that
    Not sure where you found that information but that is not the case. The Mac must be shut down in order to reset the PRAM. Follow the instructions here...

    If resetting the PRAM didn't help, try here...

  • Ipod will not turn on no matter what. Please relpy? Urgent

    Hi,
    My ipod mini is not turning in. I cannot reset it because whenever I press the menu button, nothing happens. I have tried charging it yet it's not working. I has not been dropped or damaged.

    Did you let it charge for a while? That symbol is telling you the battery needs to be charged.

  • My iPod nano will not turn on no matter what I do.

    I tried holding the play button to turn it on. I tried charging it for a couple of hours. I tried resetting it. I tried plugging it into my computer. None of this made it turn on or even make a flicker of light. What should i do?

    The iPod will need to be serviced, to determine the exact fault and repair it (if possible).  You can get the current 7th gen iPod nano as an Apple-certified refurb for $99 (with a one-year warranty)
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod
    so the cost to repair your nano may not be economical.  If you are the good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

    Be sure to rule out the other possibilities.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there (along with your docking cable).

  • Iphone 4 will not turn on no matter what!

    This happened friday. I was playing a game. Locked my phone 5 min later went to check it and it wouldnt turn on!!! I did the lock/home key for 3 min. I charged it all night last night. I had it connected to the computer thinking itunes would somehow recognize it after an hour. It was connected to the computer for 16 hours. It doesnt even show that its charging. Nothing i mean nothing comes up. Not the silver apple not the lightning bolt not even itunes shows it. I took it to at&t and they couldnt fix it i went to apple and they said they couldnt find anything wrong with it. It just refuses to turn on. I need that data on that phone. Does anyone have something they tried that works. I know "if apple says they cant fix it well ur screwed" well ive taken things to apple that they couldn't fix yet i could by doing something odd. My iphone 3gs home button and lock button and touch screen wouldnt work. Apple couldnt fix it. Yet i could by charging it taking out the sim holding lock/home and having someone call me at the same time. So i trust this more than apple. Does anyone have an idea or something that worked for them?

    Attempt to hardware restart (Hold the hoe button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until you receive the Apple logo) the device again while connected to the wall charger. If this still does not resolve the issue attempt to leave it connected for at least 20 minutes and attempt the hardware restart again. If the issue continues you device may need repair and you should take it to an Apple Retail Store or contact AppleCare at 1-800-692-7753. Hope this helps.

    Doesn't sound good...
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

    Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

  • Why is my location city changed by Firefox to a town I don't live in? I put in my zip code in the weather info and it will not hold it no matter what I do. This is very frustrating and never a problem in the past. IE doesn't have the problem. Help?

    1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize?  To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
    2) What are your sequence settings?  Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

  • My caps lock light is not turning on no matter what I do. PLEASE HELP!

    My caps lock light is not turning on no matter what I do. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi lahiri,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that the Caps Lock key on your MacBook Air is staying lit as if the Caps Lock is engaged and you cannot turn it off. One article I would suggest taking a look at in this situation is attached below. If the information does not help you solve your issue, please let me know more about the situation. Are the letters you type in all caps all the time or can you adjust between upper and lower case using the Caps Lock key and the light just stays on?

  • My Laptop will NOT turn on!!! please help!

    My Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5892 will not turn on. It has been this way for almost a month. I had left my computer on while going to the bathroom and when i came back it was turned off. I tried turning it on but it wouldn't. The battery light and the charger light were both green, and the power light is very dimly green. My sister has the same exact laptop as i do, so i tried exchanging the chargers, but it didn't help. I tried exchanging the batteries, which didn't help. I tried letting both batteries sit out for a while then put it back in, but it still wouldn't turn on. I have tried holding down the power button to turn it on, but no matter how hard or how long i hold it down it won't turn on. My dad thought it may be the battery connection but i have no idea, and it is currently just out of the 1 year warranty as it was bought black friday of last year. PLEASE HELP!! PLEASE!....thank you

    Unplug the AC adaptor, remove the battery, then press and hold the power button down for a minimum of 30 seconds.  Now replace the battery and see if it powers up.  If not repreat the process but this time leave the battery out and only plug in the AC.  If it still doesn't power on repeat the process again and this time replace the battery and plug the AC back in.  If it still doesn't power up it's time to start checking the hardware.  Remove the ram and try it with only one stick.  You might need to try each one individually to see if either works.  If that doesn't help remove the hard drive and see if it will post to the Toshiba screen.  If that doesn't help you'll probably need to take it to a service center.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • My iPod shut off randomly and will no longer turn back on. I plugged it in to charge it, but after several hours it will not turn back on. What should I do?

    My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    - First try resetting the iPOd:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.
