My laptop turns off after being on

Good day to you guys... I have a quick question about my Hp Laptop G60 Notebook PC. I have purchased a new battery and a new power cord and the issue i am having is that if i unplug the power cord from the laptop it turn off right away. if i keep it there on my desk plug in it does not turn off and battery life or power shows that is 100%. Now, if I move it or unplug the power cord from the laptop it wont turn on. Any idea why would it be doing this.... Would it be the power supply or a hardware issue? my laptop is form 2011-2012.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter

Laptop turns off after 3-4 seconds

Hi there, My Laptop turns off after 3-4 seconds of turning in on. When the battery is plugged in or mains lead, the on /off switch does absolutley nothing. When you open the lid however, it turns the laptop on for 3-4 seconds then cuts out. After taking the laptop appart, i have found that the only way to get the laptop to turn on properly is to take out the power switch chip unit strip cable, insert it so it turns on and then remove it quickly. this way the laptoip stays on. if you insert the power unit strip cable, it turns on fine, but if you leave it in, the laptop turns its self off after 3-4 seconds ( as if the power button was held down) Do you think this is a problem with the either, the power button chip unit, the main board, or maybe even the magnet switch in the lid!? i have upodated bios/cleared CMOS, ran all diagnostics, tried everyt combionation of resetting, e.g. hd/ram/cables /power button down for a minute, bat back in power lead back in...etc, everything installed fine and came back 100% ok as if there is no problem, but the power switch is doing nothing!. Please help or let me know if anyone else had this issue, i really need my laptop working. Kind Regards, James Hardy

Does it do it booting in these two modes?
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup).
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

My laptop shutoff off after being fully charged and wont turn back on

I am in a foreign country and my laptop has been working fine with an adapter. Two days ago, after being fully charged, my laptop shut off and wouldn't turn back on. The battery died and I tried a friends charger to see if it was a problem with the computer or charger and the new burger worked. So I spent the money on a new charger and now the same thing has happened. After being charged it shut off and my new charger has a dim light just like what happened the first time. Any ideas?

Hello there, ChristenC.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

IPod will not turn off after being used as an external HD in Windows

I have disabled the option to have Itunes open when I connect my Ipod and I turned off the iTunesHelper in msconfig. This allows me to use my Ipod as an external HD without interference by iTunes. I have found that since upgrading to Ipod firmware 1.1.1, after I disconnect my Ipod using the Safely Remove hardware option in Windows XP SP2 my iPod will not turn off. I just turn on the lock, and let sleep mode set in after 2 minutes.
This only occurs if I connect the iPod as an external HD and does not occur when I connect the iPod with iTunes open to sync my music library. The problem started with firmware 1.1.1. Is anyone also having this issue, and if so, is there a known solution?

If you are not past the 2 weeks return period you can just return it.. for sure the TC is not ideal when you want something to store files.. the fundamental issue is lack of backup. The TC cannot back itself up. Nor can Time Machine in the computer backup network drives.
To mount the TC disk in finder.
Use Go, Connect to server. in the top menu.
Type in AFP://TCname.local or TCIPaddress. (where TCname.local is the correct network name of the TC.. ie not its name as typed in, if it includes spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe. You need to find the actual network name from network utility netstat scan or better still use proper naming on the TC.
Local is the default domain and helps.
If the TC is in router mode the IP is static and is better used than the name.
AFP://10.0.1.1 for example with default IP is far superior way to identify a network resource.
The disk password will be requested. Add it to your keychain.
It is better to load files to a DMG or sparsebundle.. See Pondini for info.

Laptop turns off after 2 seconds on mains and new battery

Hi everyone,
I have a HP HDX16 model X16-1010EA
The problems and what I have done so far
Stays on for a second or 2 then powers off. I have a couple of spare mains adapters that are the same spec and fit so tried them, same things happens. So adapter looks OK.
Bought a new battery, stayed on for 5 mins (got to desktop) then powered off. Then it went back to 1 or 2 seconds before powering off.
Left it plugged into the mains without turning it on for a couple of days. Tried again, it powered up. As soon as I got to the desktop I checked the power status, it said the battery was 20% and charging, kept my eye on it and a couple of mins later it said the battery was 14% and charging, a couple of mins later 9% and charging, then the laptop died a couple of mins later.
I have removed the battery and done the 'power reset' (finger on the power button for over a min to discharge) have tried to power it on with the 3 mains leads, the lights come on for 1 or 2 seconds then it dies as before.
The mains lead light on the laptop comes on when you plug the mains lead in on the side. I have tried all 3 leads, all the same results. Any idea's will be greatfully received!
Am currently leaving it plugged in and off in the hope I get 5 mins 'on' time in a couple of days to go into device manager and do the following solution which someone else has posted, but the procedure says to remove the battery before doing this which I cannot do because it will not power up without a battery installed, so don't know if it will work. As I'm desperate, I will try anything!
Open Device Manager
Click the plus (+) sign next to Batteries category, right-click all of the "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" listings, and select Uninstall In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK. (it’s ok if you only have 1 of these).
Click the plus (+) sign next to System Devices.
Right-click the “ACPI Fixed Features Button" and select Uninstall. In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK.
Shutdown
Disconnect AC
Insert battery
Thanks in advance for any solutions coming back!
Fitzsy

Try a hard reset
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
Have you ever used a can of PC compressed air to clean the intake and exhaust cooling vents on the bottom of your
notebook?
Are you able to access the EFI diagnostics?
Does the charging led come on when the notebook is plugged into the power adapter or just the power led?

erico

My iPad 2 screen won't "lock" or "turn off" after being left unused since ios7 update

Hi, I hope this hasn't already been covered I have had a look and on other sites but haven't come across nothing.
Since I have updated to ios7 my iPad 2 screen now doesn't lock when left unused, I can manually lock it by pushing the lock button but it won't do it by its self no more, my iPhone does so I'm assuming it's not a new thing that came with the update. It's not a huge issue, it's more annoying, my battery is forever low as it drains it when I forget to lock it myself. I have had a look through the settings and can't see how to change this, I'm not a very technical person though so I know I may have missed it somewhere or am just being very blonde,, thank you in advance for any light shed on this.

Hello there, AllThingsShiney.
You may just have to set the "auto-lock time". The following Link from the iPad User's Guide should help:
Sleep/Wake button - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940ef67
Specifically:
Set the auto-lock time. Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock.

Laptop turns off intermittently

Hi frnds,
I am having Lenovo G550 with following config:
Intel C2D T6600
3 GB DDR3
Nvidia Geforce 512MB GPU
320 GB HDD
Win 7 Home Premium
My laptop turns off after 20-30min of usage. I am not playing any hardcore games on it. Now I am using my laptop only for browsing and official work . There is no overheating. The heat sink and fan is also free of dust and lint.
I went to the Lenovo Service Centre located at BTM Layout, Banglore. The guy told me there is no problem with the hardware. Its a OS issue. So, he advised me to format it to factory default settings (my laptop came pre-installed with Win 7 Home Premium). I tried that too. But after 15min of successful recovery, it again turned off during third party appliation installation.
Now, I don't know what to do. My ,machine is 3 yrs old and right now I am not in mood to buy a new laptop (atleat for a year).

Hi deepankar143,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community Forums.
Normally, computers will shut down and stay shut down to protect any overheating damage to the processor. Although you did mention that there is no overheating and that the heat sink and fan is also dust and lint free, we may want to isolate the overheating problem by installing a 3rd party application that will provide you with the system's CPU temperature.
Try installing the program, Core Temp to monitor if the CPU temperature exceeds more than 90 degrees. This is when the system normally shuts down to protect from further damaging the processor. If the temperature exceeds more than 90 degrees, and since you mentioned that the heatsink and fan is dust and lint free then this could be due to dried out thermal paste.
The second possible hardware problem that maybe causing the laptop from shutting down could be a problem with the HDD. Try running HD Tune to check if there could be any problem with the HDD of the computer.
Hope this isolates the problem. Let me know what happens.

Yoga display turns off after 1 minute

I'm having an annoying problem with my new Yoga related to the display and have not seen any other posts with a similar complaint so perhaps this is a simple fix that I'm just not able to sort out on my own. My display turns off after 1 minute of inactivity. The only means for changing behavior like this that I am aware of is through the Control Panel Power Options. My settings for "turn off the display" are 10 minutes on battery and Never while plugged in (note screen shot attached). Regardless of my settings, the screen turns off after 1 minute. I've changed the settings to multiple configurations and restarted with no change in behavior. Perhaps there's some other settings area, maybe something specific to Lenovo that I'm not aware of (since this is my first Lenovo laptop). Anyone with similar problems or insight?

This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver). BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time. See http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-us/ace4085a-b0ba-4a98-898d-cd92d9e88e13/window... for some detail.

Yoga 13 display does not Turn off after idle

I have the computer set to the balanced power option, and the disaplay is set to turn off after 5 minutes on battery and 10 minutes when plugged in. Unfortunately the screen never turns off.
Anyone know how to fix this problem ?

hi tmpst,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If a wireless device (mouse, keyboard, etc.) is plugged to the computer, the display, screen saver or sleep function might not work. If this is your case, try to:
1. Remove your wireless device (might include a usb dongle)
2. Apply the Moving mouse causes laptop to exit sleep mode fix
If you have Power DVD installed, apply http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913405
Let me know your findings.

This makes the fourth post to say: CLEAN OUT YOUR FAN.

Hp zr2740w turns off after few seconds

I have the same problem as described in an earlier post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Audio-Video-Monitors/hp-zr2740w-turns-off-after-few-seconds/m-p...
My HP zr2740w turns off after a second or so. Tested with vga/dvi/displayport and desktop pc/laptop, so it's not a cable issue.
My hp zr2740w was bought in July 2012 so it's probably out of warranty. I live in Finland. The webshop I ordered the hp zr2740w does not exist anymore. The HP support pages don't seem to have any support numbers for displays.
I took the display to a local IT support / electrician guy and he said it's a power supply issue. But he couldn't find a place to order the part so he could replace it.
Hopefully I'll get some answer here or an idea what to do. Wouldn't want to throw away an expensive display just because it has power issues.

Laptop turns off unexpectedly

Hello!
I have an HP Pavilion m6-1045 dx and my laptop turns off at random times when in use. Sometimes it will shut down completely or the monitor will just turn off but the computer will continue to run. Other times, as I am typing, the monitor will start to blink on and off as if about the shut down completey. I don't dare adjust my monitor when in use for it will turn off the screen or even shut down. This will happen whether my laptop is charging or running on battery power alone.
I have had my laptop for about 1 year and 4 months now (bought July 2012) and this is a reoccuring issue which started around late 2012/early 2013. I have a two year plan under Geek Squad support and have taken my laptop to them several times. The first time, they believed it to be a virus issue and cleared it. The second time, I spoke to an online representative but she couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. The third time, I went in person and they replaced the fan.
After about a month, the same issue started occuring again and now it is becoming a continual problem. I may be wrong, but I do not believe it is an over heating issue because on multiple occasions I will turn on my computer only for it to shut down almost immediately afterwards, taking about 15-20 minutes to turn back on again. The fan inside is running. I have tried clearing it of dust and used another fan to keep it cool but this problem continues to occur.
My warranty with HP has expired and I still have Geek Squad support for another 8 months but I would like to limit the amount of times I have to take my laptop in for repairs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Ariel

Ok I think I finally figured it out by changing the power options and I think the way you told me to reset the battery also helped. here are the settings: reserve battery level (this is when the popup will come up.)10% low battery level (this is when the low battery action will be performed.)8% critical battery level (my comp would die at this point.)7% low battery action: sleep, sleep (customize this to your liking.) low battery notification: on,on (keep this on.) critical battery action: sleep, sleep (my comp would die already at critical.)

Screen turns off after a few minutes and needs to be closed then opened

hi, as the title suggests my powerbook screen turns off after a few minutes before my screensaver is set to come on and when i come back and press a key or move the pad it wont start up so i need to close the powerbook then open it up again for it to activate. its not a huge problem but my programs which connect to the internet seem to lose their connection when i open it up again. is this normal? is there a setting i can change?
thanks

Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .
Cheers,
Daniel
