Mini 210 not receiving power

I'm stumped on how to fix my mini 210 and I'm hoping someone can help me. 
I started having problems with the computer not recognizing that it was plugged in. After a while the tip of the power cord actually broke off so I thought that was the whole problem.
I replaced the power cord and the computer worked fine for about 10 minutes. Then it stopped recognizing that it was plugged in again. After a while the battery died and would not charge so my computer has been DOA for a while now. 
I did a little research and thought it might be the power jack that was the problem. I ordered a replacement, put it in and reassembled the computer. It is still not recognizing the power cord. 
I checked the connection from the power jack to the system board and there didn't seem to be any loose, broken, or missing pins. When I put the battery back in and tried to power on while plugged in, I got 2 blinks of the light that's by the power cord but nothing else happened. I tried it again without the battery and got no lights. I put the battery back in and tried again but still no light. 
The only other thing I can think of is a loose connection on the system board but I'm not advanced enough to be able to fix that. Can anyone else think of anything I may be able to do before giving up and buying a new computer?

Try to check if it's just the OS not recognizing the power. With the battery out, and power cord plugged in, does it continues to provide power? This means if the power LED lights up.
If still no, I would recommend buying a new one. This is a perfect excuse.

  • Why does my mini iPad not receive emails?

    Why does my mini iPad not receive email ?

    We need a bit more to go on than that please.
    Have you tried to reboot the app? Double tap the home button, when you see the previews for the apps on the screen, scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app up on the screen. Flick it up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button or tap on the home page preview to exit the mode.
    If that doesn't work, try to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete and then re-add your mail info
    Beyond that we need more details to go on to offer help.

  • [T510] Keyboard Not Receiving Power

    A Month ago, my motherboard randomly shorted out and the computer would not turn on. I called Lenovo, and took it to a repair shop. They said it would need a new motherboard, and gave the system back to me. I managed to fix it by resetting the CMOS Battery, and now it turns on just fine but the keyboard is unresponsive and the touchpad is a bit unresponsive. Does anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the battery, or is it the keyboard, or is it another component of the computer that is causing this. I think the Keyboard is not receiving power b/c none of the LEDs are lighting up, and the keyboard isn't working (been using On-Screen Keyboard for now).

    Hey there xtremecello,
    When you reset the CMOS Battery, did you have to remove the Keyboard/Touchpad at all to get to it? If so, did you check to make sure that you reconnected it properly? If you haven't seen it already, the Hardware Maintenance Manual has directions for this around page 93.

  • Why is my Droid Mini suddenly not receiving all texts sent to me?

    It doesn't matter if the sender is iPhone, Blackberry, etc. or Verizon, AT&T, etc.  It started with picture messages.  I had to send a text to whoever was sending me a picture before the picture "pushed through".  Now I am sporadically not receiving regular texts.  I am missing important messages - this is unacceptable!
    I have service during the missed messages.  I routinely get a "Messaging has stopped working." warning.  Sometimes I'm on WiFi, sometimes I'm not.
    Any ideas?

        We don't want you to miss any messages AMKrieger, I know how important it is to receive and send them. Please make sure your wi-fi connection is turned off, then reset the messaging application (make sure it's the stock application), http://vz.to/1hSEebv . Test your messages again and keep us posted.

  • HP G72 Not receiving power and not starting

    Hi, so my G72 is not starting at all. Here's the backstory...i have been getting the internal battery message for a while at startup, approximately three weeks, and just ignoring it. We also had bad thunderstorms a couple of days ago and because of that our router was actually fried. My laptop was plugged in but not on. But, the weird thing is, my laptop worked for the next two days perfectly fine afterwards until i took it to my friend's house. There, when i plugged in, the charging light didn't appear. I moved to anothe outlet, still no dice, and actually i began to hear a high pitched beeping from my AC charger, the kind of beeping where you know somehting is wrong. Did a little research and came to the conclusion that it was toast, or at least not working like it should. SO we grabbed some other chargers that were rated for the same voltage and maH as mine, and tried them...after a couple minutes of trying them, we got my buddy's Dell charger to work, or at least make the charging light turn on. Thinking we fixed the problem, we took it out and put the other dell charger that was similar in, and again, the light wasn't coming on. After that, no matter what we did we could not get my laptop to get a charge light. I tried the hold power button down for a minute thing, and that didnt work either. I've ordered a new battery and charger, but now i don't think that will work either, and here's why...My mom has a g62, which uses a similar battery and charger. I plugged her battery into my laptop, no start up, even while using her charger, there was no charging light. This makes me think it is either the motherboard is dead, which would really upset me and may even deter me from buying another HP, or something is messed up with the AC jack on my laptop, which doesn't make too much sense saying as it worked PERFECTLY fine for 3 years until one day, which uasually those things get intermittent until they stop working. Any ideas or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, as i am willing to try anything if it means not spending anothe 800 bucks before i have to pay for school and car insurace and for the proposal I'm planning for my girlfriend. Thanks muchly.

    Hello Soccermike,
    I understand that your computer will not boot.
    Do a hard reset.
    Turn the computer off.
    Remove the power cable and the battery.
    Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
    This should reset the hardware in the computer.
    Also try to boot without the battery connected.
    If you have tried other adapters it may be a problem with the board.
    Make sure that the wire for the adapter is not loose.
    Try to just wiggle the wire for the adapter inside the computer.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • How to make sure speakers are receiving power Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5938

    Hello, I have been troubleshooting my sound issues with my laptop and have deduced three possibilities; Speakers not receiving power, IRQ problem, or a Sound card issue.
    All sound is still being registered by the OS, I have uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, and made sure the correct output device is selected. Sound does not work on my other OS on a different partition.
    My Device Manager shows everything running correctly, and all services are running.
    Help would be appreciated.

    Satellite L305D-S5938 
    Sound does not work on my other OS on a different partition.
    I hope you're not offended if I suggest you check the volume-control dial on the front of the computer in the center.
    It's the most frequent cause of this sort of thing.

  • Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

    Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
    If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

    You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
    Did you back up the device?

  • My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

    My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen.
    I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
    Reset SMC  no change

    Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.
