N8 Turned itself off & wont go back on

Ok so I'm on handset no 3 which I received yest (17th jan) & tonight it turned itself off & I cant get it back on.
Does anyone know how 2 get it started or how many handsets I have to go through to gvet a diff make?
cheers susan

The N8 is a fine handset and you have been unlucky from the sound of things
There is no way to get it to restart immidiatly if its the power management problem
When I had the issue I made the following observations
The phone would restart if left alone for a while
Constantly trying to restart it only increases the recovery time, (It's like there is a clock in there that wont let you boot the phone until it runs down and attempting to start before then only resets it to the beginning)
Leave the phone in a cool dry place for at least 30 mins, better yet an hour, then try to start it
(Cooling the phone appears to improve the time taken before it boots) However do not put it in a fridge or freezer, this can lead to condensation forming inside the phone which may void the warenty

Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

If that doesn't help, the battery may be dying and need replacement. See here (tap on Battery Replacement): http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Alternately, might consider start saving for a new iPad. The newest iPad 6 should come out in the next few months. When it does, sellers will want to get rid of old inventory with good deals.

Iphone 4 turned itself off and will not turn on

does anyone know of a way to get phone that has turned itself off to come back on?

Charge it, then try to turn it on. If it still shows no sign of life, hold home and power together for 15-20 seconds until it comes to life. If it still doesn't come to life, take it in to the Apple Store and have it looked at.

Droid turned itself off, now wont turn back on

I was using my phone when it turned itself off. now it wont go back on. had it a while. shouldnt have been hot. took the battery out for a couple mintues and still nothing. plugged it in and the light comes on when its chargeing. the battery wasnt dead but it was chargeing.

What type of Android do you have? What were you doing when it shut down? When you attempt to turn it back on, does it truly do nothing at all, or does it show a screen of some sort that doesn't proceed?
You said that when you try to charge it, a light comes on. Is there an LED indicator on your particular Android that comes on, or is it a charging emblem on the screen that appears?
It would probably be easier for you to bring it in to your local VZW and have them troubleshoot it for you.

TS1363 my ipod turned itself off and now it wont come back on

My ipod was fully charged & it turned itself off & now it wont came back on. What should I do? I sometimes have the same problem with my iphone3GS.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. (And there is no need to SHOUT.)

TS2634 my iphone 4 lost signal this afternoon & turned itself off & now wont turn back on! help!!

my iPhone 4 lost signal this afternoon, turned itself off & now wont turn back on!! please help????

1. Reset phone - press both home and power buttons for up to 30 seconds until the Apple logo appears/
2. If no response, plug into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes.
3. Repeat Reset if no response to charging.
4. If still no signs of live, there is a hardware failure. Take it to Apple or whovever provides iPhone service in your country.

Hi that worked for me! I thought it was a battery problem. I knew if I came to the Apple iPhone forum I'd find the answer. Now I've got to find some answers on increasing the battery charge as my phone is dead by 8 PM and I charge it fully every night!

Nope you won't lose any data, it just like restarting your PC.
to back up look at this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
also I would import your photos over to your PC and a secondary back up, you can always sync those pics back using Itunes heres a link on how to do that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

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 another cable
- 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.

IPhone 5C - Turned itself off and won't come back on.

I have owned this phone since the day it came out (20th September) and it was fine up until a few weeks ago. It decided - frequently - to reboot itself, lines would appear on my screen and the brightness would decrease until the phone turned itself off. Soon the apple logo would appear and everything would be fine. I noticed that it would do this while I was on it while it was charging or when a lot of apps were open. I avoided doing these things, but it still would happen. Sometimes it would do it and the apple logo would not appear - I learned of the holding down the home and sleep/wake button at the same time hack, and would do that to get it back on. As time went on the problem would persist, sometimes it would take a few attempts to get the phone back on - I removed some recent apps and the phone was fine for about a week.
Last Friday the phone did it again, so I decided to factory reset/restore through iTunes and then restore my backup. For a couple of days the phone was fine, up until last night where the phone switched off - thinking this was like all the other times I did what I'd usually do. But nothing, I've left it to charge, I've attempted to restore it. When I go to restore it the apple logo appears and the process bar appears, however iTunes turns around and says that it cannot restore the phone.
I went onto here to try and attempt to have it sent back for service, I put in my IMEI number, and it said that I need to turn "Find my iPhone" off, I did that and now it says that it's still on, when it isn't!
Does anyone know what I can do? Or shall I just ring them and figure out how to send it back through that?

This happened to me yesterday. This probably isn't any use to you now, but for others with this question. This morning I took the back off of my phone, and I took the battery out and plugged it in to my laptop. It immediately lit up. We put the battery back in and restored it and it works better than ever. Not sure if this will work for all, but it worked for me!

Hello untech,
I see that it has been awhile since you have posted with us on the HP Forums. Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome Back".
I see that you are having an issue with the printer shutting it self off and not powering back on.
By chance do you have the printer power cable connected to a power bar/strip? If so, please try connecting the printers power cable directly to a wall outlet. Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
The printer in the document is a LaserJet printer but this document is meant for HP products in general and only uses the LaserJet as an example.
I am also going to include a document for when The HP Printer Won't Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed.
If by chance the issue is not resolved after doing the steps outlined, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions.
I hope you have a great Monday.

My iPhone 4s turned itself off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

Thanks for your help. I tried plugging it in but nothing happened, I actually still had battery power left. I was able to solve my problem by holding down the power and home buttons, which reset the phone and got it started again.
Thanks for trying

My Iphone 4 has just turned itself off and I cant turn it back on. It had a full battery before it cut off so its definetly not the battery, however I have found recently that the battery has been running out really quickly. any ideas what to do? Thanks

Try resetting your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
