Laptop won't turn on anymore

Have a compaq presario V6000 -> v6110us
It has always ran very, very hot. About a year or so ago the wireless card died. Now the computer won't run the BIOS or give any display. If you leave it off for a while, pull out the plug and battery and wait about 20 minutes and then turn it on everything works. However, upon immediate reboot it won't turn back on.
The computer lights light up (volume controls, etc, light on the power button), but no noises of hdd spinning or fans, and then all of a sudden the lights will flash off and right back on but still no display.
It makes no difference if the battery is in or out. Also, I know someone with the same computer so I tried their AC adapter with no luck. Switched the harddrive and memory and this was still a problem. Finally, I tried to boot the computer with no ram in it and still nothing happened, no beeps/bios/display.
I came across this on an internet search: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu … c=en&cc=us
Our model/part number fits the bill. Is something fried? Or are there other recommendations I can try?

As you indicated, it sounds like some sort of overheating problem going on there. Maybe time to send it to laptop heaven...

Hp laptop won't turn on at all.

I have no idea what model it is. Where do I find this in the machine.
The laptop won't turn on. I have changed the fuse in the plug but the wires are not getting warm.
I have no idea. When the battery is in and I try to turn it on the orange light flashes. However when I take the battery out and plug in to the wall and try to turn it on nothing. No light.

My ipod nano 7th generation is stuck in a restore loop with a white screen. Now it won't turn on anymore. What to do?

My new Ipod Nano 7th generation is stuck in a restore loop. Here is what happened: I added music to it using the latest version of iTunes, the colored bar at the bottom of the summary tab in iTunes showed my that I added it and I disconnected it to listen to the music. As I turned it on, it told me that there is neither music nor pictures on it. So I connected it again to my computer and iTunes told me that I had to restore. Which I did following all the steps but it keep telling me that I need to restore it. After three times of restore it, I disconnected it from my PC and turned it off. Now it won't turn on anymore - even though the battery is fully charged - and when I connect it to iTunes, iTunes tell me "The iPod software updater could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes." Well, I just downloaded the newest version a couple of minutes ago from the apple website. My iPod stays black. What shall I do?

Hi clarity,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

If you continue to receive the error message when connecting your iPod, see this article for more troubleshooting tips:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

Laptop won't turn on

I was trying to do a secure delete on my Apple, but I couldn't figure out how. So I just started throwing everything in the trash.
Now my laptop won't turn on when I press the power button. Should I get an Apple restore disc?
What should I do? How do I fix this problem???

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
One easy way of secure deleting, or deleting in general (use mostly when delete a large number of files) is to put all the files in one folder (just create a random folder in Finder) > Press Control (ctrl) and click on the folder > Go down to move to Trash (in the popup menu) > Go to Finder > Secure Empty or Empty Trash.
Did you delete the files or did it just shut off? What exactly were you deleting? Languages, fonts; anything like that? You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #106214 on Troubleshooting Startup Issues. Do you get any sounds or flashes of light (from the "sleep" light)? You may want to try booting up in Safe Mode (Knowledge Base Document #107393 on How to Startup In Safe Mode), or with the install discs.

My Ipad 2 won`t turn off anymore

Hello,
my Ipad 2 64GB Wi-Fi won`t turn off anymore. IOS 5.1.1
When i slide the button it shuts down only to restart itself after few seconds.
Tried allready 10 seconds Power/Home button for reboot. Made a restore like new trough iTunes also.
It would turn off only when pluged in charger, or attached to PC.
Any ideas ?
Btw. i`m in Europe now, is Apple warranty international or? ( Ipad bought in US)
Thanks!

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
You must see the Apple logo.

My PC won't turn on anymore.......help please.

So I have a brand new hp pavilion running on windows 8, but as the title states it won't turn on anymore. The problem started after I accidentally removed the battery when it was running. Now the only thing that lights up is the little orange light over the wifi button on the top of the keyboard but the rest does nothing. So if anyone has any solutions please send them to me.

My ipod touch won't turn on anymore!!!

MY IPOD TOUCH WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE!!
I don't know what happened. but I am beginning to think apple is ripping me and everyone off.
I don't know why I paid about 200-300 dollars for this iPod to be frozen or not turn on anymore!
When I downloaded Currency converter pro, it just froze my ipod.
Either it's that problem, or something is wrong.
I never dropped it in water or anything bad.
PLEASE HELP.

Have you've tried holding down the power button for several seconds?
If so and you're still getting nothing you may have to do a hard restore.
here's how to do it on Mac OS:
1. Connect you're iPod to the computer with the sync cable, and open iTunes.
2. Hold down the power and home buttons for 10seconds, then release the power button (continue holding the home button for about another 6-8 seconds). iTunes should display a message stating that the iPod is in restore mode and needs to be restored before it can be used (or something to that effect).
3.Hitting the restore button will likely give an error message. You'll need to hold down option and click the restore button, which will bring up a file browser. Navigate to *<your user name>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/* and choose iPod2,12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw (or similar ipsw file depending on your ipod, or iphone, generally choose the newest one) and click open.
4. Wait for it to restore, when that's finished you should be able to further restore it using the backup that was generated when you last synced it.
I have never done this on windoze, but I imagine it's quite similar, just not sure where you'd find the ipsw file.

Try resetting the SMC
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If it has a removable battery, try removing the battery.
If neither works, then you may need to bring it in for service. Bring the power adapter as well, as you may be able to determine if it is the power adapter at fault, or the computer's power supply.

My notebook blacked out & Charger keeps Turing green & orange & laptop won't turn on

My notebook blacked out & Charger keeps Turing green & orange & laptop won't turn on , I need your help.

Which model MBP do you have (15" late 2011, for example).
There are a number of things you could try - restarting in Safe Mode (start up with teh Shift key held down), resetting the SMC, etc., but I don't really think that those 'quick fixes' are going to help.
If I were you, I would just take the machine into your local Apple Store and have them run diagnostics on the unit. If it's out of warranty, they'll give you an estimate for repair and will charge you nothing for the diagnosis and estimate.
Sounds as if you've a hardware issue... maybe try running the Apple Hardware Test and see if you've any errors?
Good luck,
Clinton

My laptop won't turn on!!!

Hi everyone, I left my laptop on hibernate and once I got back home it won't turn on I have a P55-A5200 laptop. What do I need to do?

I have the same problem with the P55-A5200. It went to sleep and will not power back on. The power LED light is on but the laptop will not wak up, power adapter is tested and so is the power outlet. I tried the memory slot trick and didn't work. My battery is internal, no battery to take off and put back on. What now???Hi. It is my first message here. I registered just to add my solution into this topic. I had that problem exactly after similar stuff. My laptop was in use without power on battery and I was going to sleep. On battery it went to sleep mode in half hour, I think, but at the morning I was unable to switch laptop on. My model is new, 1 month old today, Toshiba Satellite L50D Black. When I turned it on, screen was black, not even Toshiba logo and all lights were on (eg. power, caps and num lock, also battery and wifi indicators). Also fan was going strong, but no boot. I was searching the whole Internet, but since there is no removable battery, most of guides to reset stuff I found pretty useless for me. Even Toshiba's info about Reset hole, but I was unable to locate it on this item, because I think it is not available in this model. I was about to go back to shop from where I purchased this, but I choosed to let PC go open without power, only on battery until battery goes zero. You will know that when lights will go off, so battery is empty then. Now when it is finally empty, put it into charge, push on/off button and your laptop finally boots and works normally. At least this happened to me. I hope it will never do again this stuff. So far, in love with this piece. I hope this helps someone. Have a nice day.

GT70 won't turn on anymore

After suddenly turning itself off last night while running a benchmark, my notebook won't turn on amymore.
At the time it was running on mains power without battery in.
Ive tried disconnecting everything and then running on battery and was unsuccessful.
Pressing the power button will light it up for 1 second and i can hear some sound, but it then immediately goes dark and quiet again.
It is still able to charge the battery though
Any ideas if i can still fix this or is this notebook gone for good?

Hello,
I have a GT70 too and it was with the battery and plugged on AC and it shut down while playing Skyrim. Since it's out of Warranty i opened it and found nothing weird or "smelly". I too have the power button lighting up for one second and fan launch sometime but stops immediatly.
Did you contact MSI to know if they could repair it ? Or do they not repair thing out of warranty ? Because at the price of the laptop, after 1year and a half i would love to have it repair even if i have to pay something.
Hope you sorted out the problem. Because more than 1K laptop for less than 2 year is not good :(
I tried to call the number of the support on the "support MSI page" and it said that it's closed "Today as of 30 May 2013 and to call back tomorrow". I hope they just forgot to update their message and that the French support is still active. I'll try to contact them again tomorrow.

Touchpad stopped working. Laptop won't turn back on.

My laptop stopped working last night (won't turn back on). The touchpad stopped responding. I did a manual shutdown by holding down the power button until it turned off - it won't turn back on when I press the power button.

Laptop won't turn on at all

So I was using my laptop and with in thirty seconds of usage , the laptop shut off. Before it shut off the screen seemed to get a little blurry, though I'm not sure if this was just my eyes adjusting. The laptop was plugged in when it shut off. Now it won't turn on or even indicate a charge. This happens randomly. I've tried removing the battery and powering back on while plugged in and no luck any where. Please help.

New laptop won't turn on!

So I was browsing the Internet on my newly purchased hp envy 360 laptop that I've had for less than 2 weeks. I left my laptop sitting on for about 10 mins and when I came back it was shut off. I assumed that perhaps it died so I went to charge it, however what I noticed was that the light that indicates that the laptop was charging was not on. So now my laptop won't charge and won't turn on. It's absolutely dead, nothing lights up or blinks.
It was not in heat, never been dropped, no scratches or liquid spilled on it. So I'm shocked that this would happen. Is there any solution to this?

Try this
Does your laptop run on battery or not
Try any replacement battery you can get or charge the device battery on another laptop , if the device is working
Then it might be the charger failed due to unstable electricity and need to be replaced , or charger input socket is not working
If not, try calling customers service to see if there is possible solution, or the device should go to support center
Hope I helped
