My laptop (dv6910us) will not boot up. Blue lites come on for 1 second, then turn off.

My two year old Pavillion laptop DV6910us model will not boot. I push the start button, the top line of blue lite glow for about a second, then all the lites turn off. If I push the button again, the same thing happens; blue lites for a second, then dark.
I've tried this with or without the battery; same result. With or without AC power supply
; same.
Anybody got a clue?

Here are some options:
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
If you can remove the motherboard yourself you save money. You can search around on eBay and call some of these providers until you find someone you are comfortable with. Look for their feedback and ask for references.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You will have to try putting it in DFU mode and allowing it to update. Once it has begun, you can't stop it.

Will not boot past blue screen

The present status is that my ibook g4 will no boot past the spinning wheel screen which hangs for a few minutes and then goes to the "Mac OS X" screen with the progress bar.
My first goal is to back up all of the data. I have a second IMac. Plus, I just purchased an external 500 gig hard drive just prior to when the error started. FYI the error started when I was going through the install process of the backup program supplied with the external hard drive. The program just asked me to restart the computer and that is where we are now.
The second goal of course is to fix the start-up issue. I have tried a number of the suggestions in previous posts including the following the install disk utilities to repair the disk.

I am having the exact same problem. I was just surfing the Internet this weekend and it completely froze and now it won't boot up. I no longer get a grey screen, at boot up, it goes from black to blue and then it hangs at the blue screen.
I have a TimeMachine and a Retrospect back up of my data but I can't boot to the Leopard Install CD which would let me restore my data.
I have tried just about everything, including booting in firewire target disk mode and connected to my old clamshell iBook G3. I was able to access my files, and I even reinstalled Tiger (couldn't use Leopard because it's not compatible with the G3). So there is a fresh copy of 10.4 running on my iBook G4 but it still will not boot up on its own.
No idea what to do at this point, but I would suggest not reformatting as it really didn't seem to help.

IBook will not boot - blank blue screen

I am a bit desperate and clueless. My iBook G3 500mhz OS10.3.9 will not book. When I was doing the latest update for security and QT it crashed. Now, when I start it I gets stuck on a blank blue screen. I tried to boot it from the panther 10.3 install CDs but no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

maxit,
many thanks! the problem when i boot into safe mode and prompted for user name and password, it is not recognized. i keep getting a message of incorrect password and don't know how to get around it. this all started during the latest security download.
frustrating...

Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1.
The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios.
I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on.
I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29...
This is what I did so far"
I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound.
I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377 but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt.
I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
Thank you very much,
Mark

try reflashing your bios?

Why does it keep telling me that my security settings will not let the Adobe Reader download when I have them turned off?

I try to update the Adobe Reader and it will not let me. I have turned the Norton Security off and it still tells me that my security settings will not allow it to download. What can I do?

There's a little box that comes up on my computer after I try to update the Adobe Reader. It says: "Your current security settings will not allow this to download". So I went into my Norton Security and disabled the antivirus program. I don't even know if that was the "settings" that the message on my computer was meaning. But what has happened is when I try to use the Adobe Reader XI that is on my computer, a little box comes up on my screen that says "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded" and I'm unable to get Adobe to work.

PS4 turns on for split second then turns off (Not BLOD)

My PS4 was purchased via preorder on launch day here in South Africa - Friday 13th December. After working for 2 days,it now fails to turn on. I've read about the blue light of death that just pulsates continuously but what I'm getting is a beep and blue light for less than a second before it turns off completely with no light.
If I then press or hold the power button again, I get nothing. I have to unplug it from the wall and replug it in and then if I press the power button again, it does the same as before - beep and split second blue light before going dead. Here is a video I took of it:http://t.co/VIrDS9KI1G I can't get into safe mode. If I try to hold the power button down, it just does the same as above. It doesn't stay powered long enough to reach 7 seconds. I've also tried removing the HDD and booting without the HDD in to try and force safe mode but again, it does exactly the same as above. I've tried using different plug points and adapters that I know work and I've done so with no other devices plugged into these points or adapters. In my highly amateur opinion, it feels like a power supply issue where power is cutting practically immediately.

It's a power issue, I've noticed this because I was moving my PS4 from downstairs where I tested it, to my gaming room where it'll live FOREVER! lol... and the power was unplugged, but I touched the button as I lifted the console. It beeped as if it was going to come on, then because it had no power it just went off again. Just like you describe. So the console is acting like it does when it has SOME power, but not enough in my opinion.
Once I got it upstairs and plugged in the power, it came on and all was ok.
I recommend:
Giving the PS4 ITS OWN PLUG SOCKET, don't plug it on a multi-adapter where it's power might be shared/weakened.
Give the PS4 a moment of being plugged in so it can store enough power to turn on.
Make sure your cables are all good,

My MacBook Pro WILL NOT START. Powers on, grey apple screen loads then shuts off

Fairly new MacBook Pro with OXLion. When I try to turn on the computer, the startup noise and screen appear (grey loading screenwith apple icon). A loading bar at the bottom of the screen fills about a third up, then the computer shuts down again.
ANY HELP?????????

Power off the Mac, press option, command,power button. Just press them at the same time for a second. Then try power up. If still no joy, try a safe boot. With the Mac powered off, press power button and hold shift key down, this boot will take longer so be patient, continue to hold the shift key till you see the progress bar come up and the spinning gear, you can then release the shift key and let it finish booting. Your login window should come up try logging in. Check some of the applications and see if they seem to function correctly, in safe boot mode only essential OS applications are launched, if all is normal try powering off and rebooting in the normal mode. If all is well in safe mode itmight mean some third party software could be causing the problems.

My daughter received a 4th gen. 32gb itouch for christmas. it will not sync her music. we've updated itunes, and turned off voice message syncing. (that worked for a little while) now it's not syncing again.

any help would be appreciated

What happens whenyou try to sync? Error messages?
Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

My iPad will not return to homepage. How do I return without turning off?

My iPad won't return to homepage unless I turn it off and start again. How to I correct?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

After updating Airport software, Macbook will not boot

I see others have updated with the new Airport software without incident, but not me.
I just ran software update to install the Airport update (hoping it would cure the problem I've had -- and other users as well -- with the connection dropping every 5 minutes with Linksys routers [check the Airport discussion board for much discussion of this]).
After installing, upon restart my Macbook will not boot fully. I get the Apple symbol, then the spinning gear symbol, then a light blue screen and that's it. After a while the fan comes on.
Call it the light blue screen of death.
All was working fine until the update.
I have boot camp and I can boot into Windows.
I have tried removing the battery and resetting the PRAM. No help.
Sigh... Applecare is closed so I cannot call until Friday morning. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can try?
I have my Mac hard disk backed up from a few days ago using Super Duper on a USB drive but I am reluctant to try booting from it as I fear corrupting the drive. Unfortunately I don't have my Mac system CDs with me as I am away from home at the moment.
I just switched to the Mac 6 weeks ago after 3.5 years with a Dell laptop. Never had a single problem like this in all that time. But I still like my Mac.
PD

Well, I spoke too soon. Last night I was able to start up as described above, but this morning when I tried to start it did not even get to the Mac symbol. It just hung at a dark blue screen for several minutes.
Tried restarting with the shift key held down but it would not go into safe mode. Just the dark blue screen.
Resetting PRAM made it startup.
But I'm pretty nervous about this.
So, is there a way in Mac OS X to roll back to the system before the update? In Windows XP this is very simple under System Restore. I have the impression OS X doesn't have this feature and won't until next year with Time Machine.
And I see now I'm not the only user with this problem.
PD

Slow and now will not boot

I have a 10 month old 20 imac, and it had been running a little slow and was going to upgraded the memory in the next week. But now it will not boot at all.
Last night it locked up I restarted and verified the disc, it passed. All the hardware passed. I started to try and back up my file from thecomputer and came up with file unreadable then it locked up again and now it will not boot. It chimes shows the apple screen then freezes on the blue screen. I have tried the safe boot, to run the test from the install disc, boot from the disc and all I get is a blue screen..
I seem to be reading about what seem to be a lot of the I macs suddenly slowing down, and from what I am gathering it seems MAC may have a batch of hard drives that fail around the year mark, with no warning until complete failure.
Does anybody have any suggestions

Hi CC
I have a 7 month old 20" iMac and have had no problems. Suffice to say, you should definitely take your 10 month old back to where you bought it. Locking up and freezes and it passed the AHT sounds scary.
Return it.
