Lenovo laptop will not power up at all. Please help
Ok, so I got up this morning to turn my laptop on and it acted like it was gonna power up but nothing ever appeared on the screen. So I took out the battery and put it back in to see if that would work, but now it doesn't show any signs of power at all. I read somewhere it could be the motherboard cause even while plugged in it doesn't work. I just got the laptop a week before Christmas so it's not like its that old. Also the battery was holding a great charge before this happened so I know its not dead. I can find the receipt to bring it in, but I do have the bank statement from where I paid with a debit card so would that suffice enought to exchange it? Thanks for any help.
Kinda sounded like they tried that nono "cause even while plugged in it doesn't work."
Definitely try xl's info and try taking out the battery and unplugging it, hold down power button for 15ish seconds, then reinsert battery, replug in and try to power it on.

What is currently showing on the screen?
Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons?

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

Laptop will not power on when power button is pressed
I have a Pavilion m6
model: m6-1045dx
Laptop will not power on when I press the power button. It is fully charged. The only light that will come on is the light indicating that it is fully charged. I have tried removing the battery and then putting it back in but that did not work. I use this laptop for college and it is time to go back to school. Please help!Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-try power on

L655 has solid white power LED and soid orange battery LED and will not power on at all.
L655 has solid white power LED and soid orange battery LED and will not power on at all. I tried a second power adaper. Any other suggestions? It does not even try to power on. No fan or any other noises.
if it is not powering up on battery or AC, then there is either something wrong on the motherboard keeping it from powering up, or a bad power switch. I personally have not encountered a bad power switch on any of my Toshibas, so I would suspect something with the motherboard. It is strange that it does indicate that your plugged in and charging. If you leave the power adapter plugged in, does the battery status eventually go white?

I recently upgraded toSnow Leopard, after that I was given a continual message that I had to reinstall my Internet Cleanup. So I did. Then I turned my computer off and now it will not turn on at all. Help!
See if your Mac will boot from the install DVD.
Then uninstall Internet Cleanup.

MacBook will not power on at all
Hi there,
My 2011 13" MacBook Air will not power up. It is charging, and recently turned from amber to green.
I have tried to reset the SMC and PRAM - obviously these options didn't fix the problem.
I cannot hear any fans or anything moving in the MacBook that would indicate that it is powering on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Allan Eckert wrote:

My itunes icon will not open !!! please help
when i click the itunes icon all i get is this " to open this file windows will need to know what program created it" what do i do it won't work at all please help me out ....... thanks
You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open? -

Try a Hard Reset,
press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
if that doesnt work you may need to do a restore
