My sons iphone will not come on unless plugged into wall charger. even then wont work
my sons iphone will not come on unless plugged into the wall charger. even then when the screen finally comes on it has the wrong date and just says searching. wont do anything.
What troubleshooting have you tried? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. If it does not, then you need to try and restore via iTunes. Try connecting the phone to the computer and iTunes and see if it is recognized. If not, you will have to force it into Recovery mode and restore. See this support document for that help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

If you mean you didn't backup or sync your phone, everything on it will be lost when you get a replacement unless the techs are able to do this. Apps can be re-downloaded. -

Iphone will not turn on unless plugged into outlet, and then says activation needed
It worked fine before class, when I left class to check my phone, it wouln't turn on. If I plug it into the wall outlet and it shows the red battery indicating it has no charge, then goes to the apple logo screen for a few minutes before turning on and saying activation required. It was trying to make me go through the steps of activating it. If i unplug it, it will turn back off. It will not power up if I plug it into the computer, and it does not show up as a device on my computer. I have tried holding down the home and power button to reset it, and this does not work. I bought the phone when it first came out, Im trying to avoid taking it the the Apple store because it is 2 hours away.

IPhone 4 replaced battery 100% charged, but shuts down unless plugged into wall charger
Hi everyone,
I've had my iPhone 4 (AT&T) for almost 2 years now so the battery life is rather terrible and I decided to replace the battery. I ordered a battery from PhonePartsUSA and followed the instructions on ifixit. I had some minor issues with the tiny contact piece, but once I wiped it down with ethanol, it was seemingly fine. When I plugged it in I saw the charging/lightening bolt icon in the upper right with an increasing percent. When it reached 100%, I unplugged it from my wall charger. The issue now is that after 1-2 minutes of use on battery (browsing internet on WiFi), my iPhone turns off by itself.
Also, when I plug it in to my laptop via USB, iTunes does recognize it.
I would like to self-repair, if possible, and was hoping someone here could point me in a direction (software, hardware, etc).
Thanks in advance!Self repair or a competent 3rd party repair shop are your only options now. Apple won't touch it.
ifixit is the best resource out there that I'm aware of for hardware teardowns and repairs of the iPhone. It is not considered user serviceable by Apple, and having opened it and replaced the battery yourself, it is no longer eligible either for battery replacement by Apple, or an out of warranty replacement. -
My Ipod touch will not turn on unless plugged into a dock
When I try to turn my Ipod touch on, the apple will show up and then shut down.....I found that it will turn on and work if it's plugged in on my music dock, but the second I take it off it goes dead, even though it says the battery is full.
I'd appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions!Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem then you likely have a hardware problem like a bad battery. -
New T61 will not power on unless plugged into AC Power
Hello all,
I am a new owner of a T61 laptop and so far I love it. Though, I have found something rather weird. I cannot power on my laptop with just battery power. I have to plug it in to power it on. From that point on, I can run off of battery power. I have a 9-cell battery. Once the laptop is powered up, it reads as 100% battery power. I would really appreciate any ideas or tips that anyone may have.
Thanks
RyanSounds like a bad battery. We received a shipment of 30 T61's in which 17 of them had bad batteries straight out of the box. Exact same symptom as yours. You should contact your Lenovo or the store you bought your laptop from. Last year, Lenovo recalled defective batteries for T60s.

My new Iphone will not start up, when I go to charge it all it does is beep every 2 seconds
My Iphone will not come on, all it does is beep every 2 seconds.
Have you taken any troubleshooting steps?
Start by resetting your iPhone, hold both power and home buttons together for 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, then let go and wait for iPhone to restart. You will not lose any information. -

My Iphone just seem to shut off and will not come back on even thought i pluge it in for 2 hours.. This seems to happen once a week and it only comes back on randomly
See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

My macbook will not stay on without being plugged in. I had my macbook for about 3 years and the battery had less than 200 cycles on it and the computer suddenly would not stay on unless plugged in (went from holding about 1.5 hr charge to not holding charge at all). I purchased a new battery and this battery has 118 cycles on it. It is doing the same thing. When I unplug it the computer shuts off immediately. It will not stay in sleep mode either. What should I do? I assumed that it was because I tend to leave the computer plugged in so that the cycles stay low, but after only 118 cycles? (and the new battery is less than 8 months old). Could my computer be failing to register the battery? Please help me - I don't want to have to spend another $80 on a battery. (Just so you know, I have removed the battery and made sure the connection is good but this did not help.)
If your problems with the new battery are the same as the old battery, it would seem your Mac isn't charging the battery properly.
Perhaps it's a Magsafe/charger issue.
Read through the power section of this User tip here, try everyting, including the SMU Reset and see if that makes any difference.

We can't do too much more than that as it seems to be a hardware issue and we can't fix that too much. -
Ipod touch will not turn on unless plugged in
My Ipod touch will not turn on, Ive plugged it in and it comes on it has a charge but as soon as I unplug it it goes black ... I have tried to restart it but there is just a black screen
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -

T440s will not power on unless plugged in
My T440s will not power on unless the power adapter is plugged in. Once it has powered on, I can unplug the power cable and it will stay on.
Needless to say, this is not an optimal situation for a laptop.
Please tell me there is a fix, and that it does not require shipping my laptop back to Lenovo again.
ThanksSo, I believe I have the same or similar problem. What I think is happening is the internal battery shuts off when the AC power is connected. However, it doesn't reactivate and when you try to power from battery it won't work.
These are two workarounds I have found that seem to work for me:
1. Unplug the laptop before you shutdown. This switches to battery mode and activates the internal battery.
2. Go into your BIOS and change your USB setting so that Always On is active when on battery. This will allow you to charge your phone or other device using the Always On USB and will keep the internal battery activated.
Hope these things help! -
IPod Classic won't turn on unless plugged into wall even though battery is charged
I plugged in my old iPod Classic and charged it up for a long time. I got that little plug symbol that indicates that it's fully charged. The iPod turns on and works fine when it's plugged into the wall, but as soon as I unplug it, it won't do anything at all. Just black screen. I also tried plugging it into the computer. Nothing.
I tried re-setting by toggling the "Hold" button and then pressing Play/Pause and Menu at the same time. Nothing.
Why would it be fine when plugged into the wall but not when unplugged or plugged into the computer? Is it possible that is really is not fully charged even though it did show that little plug symbol? It had been just sitting for many months.Hi there,
How old is your Classic? Often, after a couple of years, rechargable batteries begin to fail, especially after such a long period of inactivity. This happens with any gadget with this type of battery.
Try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, and try again, to rule out that it isn't just really low on charge. If this doesn't help, it may be a good time to buy a replacement. New iPod Nanos and Touches will be released this October.
Below, I've linked to an Apple website which explains rechargable batteries, and why yours may not be working.

I hope this helps, and I hope upgrading your device will not feel like an unnecessary expense. Let me know if you have any more questions,
Nathan
